Instagram - The Soul's Window to this Temporary Reality

A different kind of veteran with a special set of survival skills...the stories my kids will hear about me will vary, contingent upon the author 9/1978...L.A. (80s - mid 90s), N. Philly (mid 90s - early 00s) Tianjin (mid - late 00s) Tao Yuan (late 00s - 2018)... With drinks from the beginning..."17-5 same color t shirt", chain and chucks sequentially upgraded....from Mickey, st. Ides and old English to single malts, XOs, and limited bottlings... from Hanes to Armani, from steriling to platinum Cartier, from standard reds to limited editions... Sunshine market, the Baldwin, Slauson / 10th Ave swapmeet...Market Street, south street, center city...Bin Jian Dao, silk market...101, xin yi, gloria Mall The experiences have been an accumulation of efforts towards my ultimacy #losangeles #northphilly #philly #templeuniversity #kingblockdean #tianjin #tufe #taoyuan #china #taipei #taiwan #drinks #alcohol #kingblockdean #elsinsay #consultant #upgrade #goals #achievement
