Don't you feel like a gay as a boy that likes that much of mellow songs, and you have more female friends

I yelled: No.... Mom...That will be GAY!

Undertow-Stars


Living for only one
When will it stop?
Caught in the undertow
When will it stop?
Trying to fight the cold
When will it stop?
Why does the night win me always?
All the wind's at your eyes, at your eyes
All the wind's at your eyes, at your eyes, at your eyes, at your eyes
All the wind's at your eyes, at your eyes, at your eyes, at your eyes

When will it stop?
No one forever young
When will it stop?
I'm caught in the undertow
When will it stop?
The brittle and bitter bones
When will it stop?
Forgot to know how to grow
All the wind's at your eyes, at your eyes
All the wind's at your eyes, at your eyes, at your eyes, at your eyes
All the wind's at your eyes, at your eyes, at your eyes, at your eyes
All the wind's at your eyes, at your eyes, at your eyes, at your eyes

You pick the storm or you pick the shore
Both take you to the floor, to the floor, to the floor, to the floor
When will it stop? When will it stop? When will it stop?






sometime I just don't know how to express my feelings

these days...

isn't music great!

stuck thoughts

omg.


how long had it been that I haven't said anything about crap?


OH CRAP!


it's just feels like I have thousand loads of thoughts I wanna spit out


like a toilet that got clogged by CRAP that you can't flush.


and my brain just kept on producing all those thoughts like an unstoppable nuclear reactor making too much electricity.



but somehow, I wasn't able to unload all of it?

I mean, I can't.

WHY though? WHY?!


A problem in my brain? Not even close.

Laziness? Indeed.

Too much Dr. Pepper? hmm, you tell me.


I really miss those days that I can spend like 3 hours straight typing up a 1000 word article.
I lost my endurance.

I'm not Lance that can still win like a dozen times of Tour de France after he almost lost his balls from cancer.


anyways. I'll find a way to spit all that "crap" out soon.
SOON.


we'll see.



DUH

Ever checked on google map...?

I donno have you guys ever tried to searched on google map for the route to go to Hawaii from mainland?
Hmm, if you never did, should try.

It tells you to go to Seattle and catch the tide and kayak 2753 miles to Hawaii.







They sure have some good humor going on.



I'm going to buy some of their stock just for this reason.

the Valentines week. film

it was real work.

what to write on this blog?

So i was thinking this evening, since I haven't posted anything for a while, I better write something. but what should I write about?

this is what I got from asking dear Collette Charles(she was the only one online that time) when she was making her berry smoothie:


-My hair.(Which is in perfect state now)

-my Mom

-the best thing I saw today(I replied to her that it was her facebook page is the best thing I saw)

-my family?


My hair, yes. now it's in the perfect length, perfect thickness, perfect shape.
Wish it can last for a while school starts. May be I'm going to grow it a bit shaggy?
We'll see.


My mom.
She's watching Taiwanese soap now, in pajamas.... and laughing with my sis.
She swears like a red neck.(If you managed to translate it from Mandarin into English)
People think she is young. The fact she is in her late 40's.
She used to be a nurse in Taiwan. She's in the "baby making department", and thats the reason why her jokes are way nasty and funny. You definitely don't hear them in Mormon communities. too exotic.


Best thing I saw today. Collette's facebook profile page. That she finally convinced herself that she is not blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and BLAH. Please check her profile page for details. In fact she was never BLAH, and she kept saying she is blah blah blah blah. But now she's over it, the BLAH, so I'm happy.


My family.

hmm:

Dad. A semi nerd, hard working man. Slow in computer learning, but good in demolishing my chemistry grades. Earned his Poly chemistry Ph.D. in Case Western Reserve University in Cleveand, Ohio. A idiot in living(cannot live without my Mom), pretty much a geek. But still my Dad.


Mom. already mentioned above.


Me. Me. Me. ME!


Bro. 16. 5"9, 200lbs(one inch and 55lbs taller/heavier than me). Pacifist. Loves to swear while playing CS. Wants to go to Stanford U. and be a nurse(it has nothing to do with Mom).


Sis. loves japanese comics. turning 14. A master in drawing comics characters. Also the ultimate procrastinator in mankind history.



thats all for today.

there are still a few rolls to come

amazing abandoned structures

the site is called Artificial Owl

it features one of the most amazing man made structures that have been abandoned from all around the world.

from the Nuclear bomb craters in Marshal Islands to ship wrecks in Greece, to USSR tanks graveyard in Afghanistan, to ghost town in Antarctica, and abandoned copper mine in Alaska.

Oh boy, a phone date.

So I finally admit to myself: I like her.


I always felt like something going on.




So I finally did talked to her about it today.

In fact it was she that asked me in the first place.

I went in circles, tried to act claim while panicking.



I somehow feel like I should have never left Hawaii.

But this is just how life is.


I'm still happy I still have a date, a phone date.

I wish I was there with her. To go out with her on a date in person.




Is this the sign of things getting better?

I hope so.
