#101 secrets

Did you know? Everyone's favorite cyan haired space pirate was based on Jeannie from the American sitcom "I Dream of Jeannie".

Here's what Hiroki Hayashi had to say in 2001 with AIC.

Q:...Is "Nene" (Bubblegum Crisis) the model of "Ryoko"?

Hayashi: No. Kajishima and I both like the classic American soap opera called "I dream of Jeannie". We like Jeannie a lot and wanted to use her in our works back then. (I still like Jeannie now, so to speak.) She is the original "Ryoko".

Q: And the "sealed cave" is the "sealed bottle" in the 1st eps of "I dream of Jeannie".

Using Your Twenties To Prepare For Your Future

I’m borrowing this secret from Paul Angone’s 101 Secrets for Your Twenties to ask, what are we…

For last week’s Finance Life post I wrote about how to get back on budget using 3 steps. The first step I suggested was to stop over spending by trying a no spending challenge while you get yourself back on track. The idea behind this no spending…

Paul Angone has given us exactly what we've been looking for - 101 Secrets For Your Twenties. Out of all the books out there that discuss "emerging adulthood," "life after college," or any other millennial catch-phrase, this one is the funniest, most relatable of them all. 

Why? 

Because Paul has explained perfectly what every single one of us thinks in our heads at least 10 times per day. Everything you've gone through or are currently going through is explained in this book. It's not self-help. It's from one heart to another saying "You are not alone."

Considering I just ended my last year in my twenties this year, I can say that I was able to LOL and OMG my way through this book, reminiscing and relating left and right. 

To prove this to you, here are some of my favorite secrets. Read them, love them, and pick up the book (either for you or your favorite graduate). 

If this hasn't convinced you yet, I don't know what will. Actually, I do. Here is Paul's latest video "Stuff Twentysomethings Say." One word: AMAZE.

And here we are at his launch party in NYC. Friends united finally!
