Best $3 I have ever spent at a theatre

Matt came over tonight to watch Public Enemy, a Korean flick that Kyongdo recommended. Due to the regional lock on my DVD player we couldn't get this movie to work and had to improvise. We checked what was playing in the theatres.. 40 Year Old Virgin, Wedding Crashers, The Dukes of Hazzard, there was nothing that we wanted to see. Then we saw that the movie Crash was playing at a more distant location in a small theatre that we've never been to. Matt heard it was good so we decided to go. The movie was only $3, I would've been willing to pay $15 for it. This is one of those films that you can not afford to miss. I will stop here because I am still blown away by how well this film was written.

“一个人的SALSA”

这个周末哪里都没去,全耗在一本叫“一个人的SALSA舞”的书上,这本书是我们主编写的,拜五下班看到封面上是她,顺手就拿回来看了。文采不错,毕竟是主编,内容倒无奇,只是把一个台湾女人在中国大陆的优越感发挥了个淋漓尽致,我不喜欢她,但是我又百分百理解她,要知道在这个中洋混居的城市看轻同是黄皮肤的人是多么容易,你也就不能怪有些人眼角飞到天上去,坐在人上人的位置不下来了 我喜欢现在的这个公司,做为全球顶尖的传媒集团,可以有很多的机会接触到我喜欢看的人和事,以前上班看书是死罪,现在不一样,美其名曰,了解产品,了解市场,哈,不亦乐乎 下星期我的项目正式启动,休假了那么久,不知道脑子生锈了没有。身体倒是开始发挥蕴藏能量,夜晚太极,清晨瑜珈,周而复此,人生妙焉

无奈乎

今天小一启程陪母亲去钓鱼,要4天才能回到明洲,虽说无论他去到哪里,始终不在我身边,不过我不是不想念的,人说人分两地,情牵一心大抵就是这个道理。 下个拜一要开始恢复上班的生涯,用了整整一个星期去做这个回归人类的准备,现在终于好些,想着不过也是个歇脚的驿站,心里便不觉有那种要向上要发奋的动力,其实我不可以不说是有些安逸思维的,一个社会,只要安定和平即好,哪里需要全民总动员人人发奋人人向上。人一旦有欲望,行为便会扭曲,为着目的,往往不惜一切,除敌灭友,损人利己,满手鲜血,面目狰狞,在所不惜。我始终懒洋洋不欲争做人上人,爬得这么高不是没有风险的,底下的稍微动动,顿时扒拉摔下,轻则损手烂脚,重则粉身碎骨,脑浆涂地。然则高处毕竟风光无限,所以纵有万千风险,还是吸引无数能人志士争先恐后,忘乎所以。用个什么姿态立世真是难以抉择,清高是行不通的,人人争做牡丹,凭什么你可以做个芙蓉,林黛玉倒是与众不同,可是看官看到头来是谁得到了贾宝玉;流俗又是可憎亦是被人唾弃的,人人争过独木桥,你还偏来插上一脚,稍不注意即被人咬牙切齿推下万丈深渊;忍让也是不可行的,众人嚣张的气焰几欲喷到脸上,稍迟半步纵是寒冬腊月也会让你违反自然规律自燃……无奈乎…哪位看官想到折中之计,万望告知

P1感言

P1 来了。。。 无限感慨,无限唏嘘,虽则只是万里长征第一步,然则再艰难再无奈,只要坚持,看到希望,最终亦会抵垒罢 生活真是妙不可言,时而百花齐放,时而万叶凋零,最好安心坐在命运的戏院里,看看下一出的戏如何上演,命运大神自有大而能的手,把你和我的一生都已设定得清清楚楚,不要急迫,安心等待

Where oh where has my club head gone?

Yesterday was a big day for Kyongdo, he was getting a set of clubs. I met up with him along with Josh and his friend Ester at Golf Galaxy to help pick out some clubs. Initially K wanted to get just a used driver but I convinced him to get a set of used irons. We looked for a while and tested quite a few clubs and finally decided on a pre-owned set of Titleist DCIs. These babies are NICE irons which I've played with before. Intially K wasn't very enthusiastic about it, until I found out that there was 20% which made me want to get that set as well. After a some bitching, I decided to just let him have it because he needs it more than I do. Besides, my Sam's Club brand golf clubs from middle school are still kickin' ass. So we were excited to try out these "new" irons and went to the nearest driving range to do so. First ball I hit was with his 7, solid, straight and very nice angle. I did it with the 5 without any problems either. Finally it came to testing the 3. The 3 iron is the hardest iron for me to hit, if I can hit well with this club, that means it's truly a nice set of clubs. The 3 quickly proved itself and the entire set that they are worth the money. Towards the end of the day, I decided to hit that 3 some more just because I can never get the same kind of results with my clubs. Each shot was going at least 200 yards and pretty much straight. However, nn my last swing, I felt the solid contact but all of sudden I felt that the club became incredibly light. I looked at the 3 iron and there was no 3 iron, the head completely flew off the shaft. No one really noticed what happened except Josh. Josh, who was talking on the phone at the time said he heard a "helicopter" like sound and when he looked up, he saw a club head spinning through the air. That was K's club head. Kyongdo couldn't believe his eyes. We burst into tears laughing. Never have I ever knocked the club head off a club, especially with a Titleist. The people at the range are supposed to find the head for us eventhough we couldn't find it ourselves. I think Kyongdo is going to go back to Golf Galaxy and get a refund or exchange.

缘来

“柏拉图说,人的灵魂来自一个完美的家园,那里没有我们这个世界上太多的污秽和丑陋,只有纯净和美丽。灵魂来到了这个家园,来到这个世界,漂泊了很久,寄居在一个躯壳里面,它忘记了自己从哪里来,也忘记了家乡的一切。但当它听到,看到或感受到这世界上一切美好的事物,它就会不由自主地感动,它就会觉得非常舒畅和亲切。它知道那些美好的东西,来自它的故园,那似曾相识的纯净美好和唤醒了它的记忆,于是它一生都在追寻那种回忆的感觉,不断地朝着自己的故乡跋涉,人的生命旅程就是灵魂寻找它的故乡的归途 ===== 飞天” 一念心清净 莲花处处开 一花一净土 一土一如来

非常之名

今天做YOGA累到半死,脚伸不直手不能动头抬不起。以前觉得喜欢做yoga的人泰半是变态的居多,尤其知道阿友太太的壮行后更是确定我的想法,阿友永远一副汝非吾,焉知吾之苦也的表情,据江湖传言,某日某夜阿友哥深夜突然醒来,发现身边的那个人双脚放在头上,手再缠在脚上,脸又向下弯成90度和臀部平行的壮观场面。我知道他太太沉迷yoga由来已久,但是到这种程度还是饶了我吧,先生心脏需要大加爱护,闲时无事还是不要刺激为秒。但是话又说回来,yoga的确也是一种身体和精神鸦片,脱离了宗教融入现代社会的瑜珈,玩的还是一种意境,永恒的灵魂音乐,痴甜的缠缠绵绵的线香,在微微的汗中不断地让你想象在河中楫桨,在海中漂浮,在天空中游荡…把现代人心灵填充灵魂独立的渴求大力玩弄与股掌上。我乃凡人,焉能免俗。一头扎入其中,不亦乐乎 休息时看到一个帖子,开长篇来讨论咱们中国人的名字之妙,我突然想起儿时妈妈单位一阿姨叫刘月经(点名时绝对不能迟到,否则一定有人问“月经来了吗?” -_-); 中学时一个同学叫曾溅,还是女的;又一个同学老爹名曰刘乃水(这个名字怎么摆出当爹的威严 -_- );高中一朋友叫温暖,男的(姐姐叫温柔,妹妹叫温馨),大学在马来一个同学叫杨伟,又是女的(爹妈怎么想的… -_- ) ; 另一特好的哥们叫梦佚 (我从来不敢在公共场合直呼其名) 现摘录些非常之名与己乐乐, 将来回过头看看增加些笑料 : 小学同学大名:李鹏 , 江泽民,曹操,项羽 (看得出来这个班里的都不是一般人 -_- ) 初中历史老师的儿子大名: 旁光 初中同学大名: 成果(他爸叫成功 他爷叫成人) 高一: 范统 , 廖直标, 魏什么 高二: 游勇驰(还有这叫法?) ;夏雨 隔壁班有个夏雪 是他妹 高三的最绝,叫: 赣理良(这个小一一定深有共鸣, 想想福建话怎么说来着 -_- ) 大学: 夏威夷 ,郁刚,尚大浩,蔡由麻( 菜没有,只有饭行不?) ……………………………………………… 肚子笑到不行,赶紧喝水喘气去也

Cool Awesome Adventure Dream

I had this really cool awesome adventure dream last night. Its one of those dreams where you're excited and scared at the same time. I dreampt that I was shopping at a mall with a friend when we wandered into an unmarked door. It turns out that this door leads to a pathway that will get you to the back of the mall where shops have their backdoors. When we were at the back of the mall some security personel came after us. In a panic, we ran towards the closest door. Next thing we know, we're somewhere in Korea or China and we traveled back in time to when they had emperors. We were admiring the beauty of the land and the clothes that people wore until we quickly realized that our lives were in danger because we were in their palace. Then the dream turned into running away and hiding from palace guards. We climbed ladders, swung from lookout towars, ran in crowded streets and even swam in the ocean. Each time we ran away from the palace guards and beat them up, we'd find ourselves in another mess. Finally in the end of the dream, we were in a situation where there was going to be a war between the two kingdoms. There were 5 masters from each kingdom who resembled guys from the game Dynasty Warriors except they were much more powerful and skilled. The earth was shaking and everyone was watching when they were about to face off. I was dressed in the palace guard clothing so they didn't recognize me, I even strutted around the palace pretending to be high ranking. Anyways, these fighters were about the start and I thought to myself "What a sweet dream, I want to do it over again except explore different areas." As soon as I had that thought in my head, I woke up. So basically the dream was about being chased in a huge palace, fighting off people, and being sneaky in a world that is similar to Dynasty Warriors. I tried to go back to sleep but I couldn't dream of it again so I just got up.

Painting

We did some charity work United Way on Wednesday. The interns at Rosemount helped paint a house that helps teenagers cope with the difficulties of life. We mostly got to help with just the primer. I wish we had time to do more painting because organizations like this really need help from volunteers.

独身

这些天夜夜下雨,风把窗帘吹得呼呼的,可是空气十分清新,时时贪婪吸多两口,不舍得呼出。又喜欢晚上只开一盏小灯,伴着电脑白色的光,说不出的情调。可是老天公平,与众不同是行不通的,报应转眼就来。刚才摸黑去厨房找柠檬,一脚撞倒椅子,呼啦倒下来,疼得叫天天不应,叫地地不灵。索性坐在地上,一时半会不想起来。独身人士贵在自由,一向标榜洒脱,海阔天空,可是不知如是生病晕倒在家十日八日无人知又会不会后悔得要死。倒不如一家子大大小小挤在一起,打个麻将都要开足个三四桌,莫说生病,打个喷嚏全家人都一哄而上,阿司匹林都可以吃到晕厥
