"Los Angeles 411" - Late Night Thai Food in Hollywood, CA - Torung Restaurant
One of my favorite Thai restaurants is Torung, in Hollywood, California.
Not only is the food fresh and tasty, but the prices are extremely reasonable. And Torung opens at 5PM and stays open until 4AM!! So if you're making it a late night in Hollywood, it's the perfect place.
There's nothing better than a nice, fresh piping hot pot of Thai soup delivered to your table in a flaming hotpot.
I think the most popular Thai dish is Pad Thai, made with rice noodles in a savory, slightly spicy sauce.
But one of my favorite dishes that is not very well known is Yum Woon Sen. It is actually made with silver noodles made from mung beans. This also means that there is no "starchy" carbohydrates to this type of noodle. It's also called the "diet" noodle in many Asian cultures. Yum Woon Sen is a splash of flavor in your mouth with lemon juce, lime juice, chile, cilantro, and your favorite kind of meat or vegetable (I prefer the one with fried tofu).
Anyway, if you're every in Hollywood in the wee hours doing some sight seeing, look up Torung, and.......enjoy!
One thing to note: it is one of the few restaurants that accepts only cash. So make sure you've got some before getting the bill!
It is located at 5657 Hollywood Boulevard, in Hollywood, CA.

The featured member states 2 Truths and 1 Lie about themselves, and for the remainder of the week, all the other members need to guess which is the lie.
At the end of the week the featured member reveals their answer with some fun comments.
Some of the comments on these posts are the funniest ever.

What is your "WHY"? Do you even have one?
Very often, we find ourselves churning and burning, doing what it takes to keep the money coming in. And many times the constant struggle brings us to a burn-out point where we need to chill, ponder and re-charge in order to keep going.
What I've observed is that most of those who really seem like they're the Energizer Bunny when it comes to being a total unstoppable die-hard in their career have something that others don't: A "Why"
By that, I mean: Why do they get up every morning and continue to fight the good fight?
What makes them so motivated and unstoppable?
Upon further observation, I've found that many people's "Whys" include some of the following:
1. Children
2. Family
3. Vacation goals
4. Desire to purchase something substantial
5. A means of financing another "dream" business
Nonetheless, the most motivated "Whys" are VERY specific. In other words, the highest acheivers don't have "Whys" that sound like "wanting to make alot of money" or "trying to get ahead".
With that being said, do YOU truly have a "Why"? Have you even thought about it? Is your "Why" very specific, or very vague?
Examples of some very specific "Whys" are:
1. "I want to buy a condo in Hawaii by 2013"
2. "I want to send my child to the University of Texas"
3. "I want to have $100,000 in the bank to open my dream restaurant"
4. "I want to take a vacation to Italy in the summer of 2012"
5. "I want to buy my mom a new car in 2012"
6. "I want to pay for my dad's health insurance every month"
To be honest, once I realized that I did not really have a specific "Why", I knew something was wrong. So I've started tapping into my true "Why" and almost overnight things changed. Everything I did was done with so much more conviction and drive. It's a very powerful thing!
Stop to think about it and decide for yourself. Write the specifics of your "Why" down on paper (not a computer screen) and see if you can tap into your "Why".
Do you find yourself not being able to be specific? Do you find yourself saying many times "Why do I do this?"
If so, then......
