Aider moi?

Before my dad left for Taiwan I could sense his effort to establish a relationship with me that we never had. He would cook and ask that I not clean...wonderful days... One day he was in the car with me, and I was listening to the radio. And he was like George, what are they saying... I was like... uhhh... 我是你有看過的最大的老闆 ?

I think I have been missing out on a lot lately, from hiding in my house and my apartment these past few years. The exchange of ideas and thoughts, communication, in my opinion is like the foundation of advancement. Advancing in anything and everything! That was why America used to be ownage. When all the races from around the world came together so much was brought from the other countries. The good, and the bad, creating an explosion of upgrading in every field. Agriculture(King Cotton), technology(Industrial Revolution) and crime(Al Capone, the roaring 20's) were all under this.

You may be thinking, way to lump so many fields from centuries into three categories... But I don't kur!

Ever since instant communication became more widely accessible we have lost a big advantage. All we have is what we used to have. That is why countries like Japan and Israel are wrecking us in quality of life/life expectancy/and technology. We did not use what we had when we were a younger country to our advantage. Their schools are top notch not to say ours are not. But the emphasis on education in our culture is completely different, while their schools are designed to fit their culture/vice versa. But what can you expect from a country whose primary export is entertainment.

The Euro is defecating on the dollar, and only Mexicans will continue to want to move into the US, only because they're too poor to go to Europe. Countries around the world are beginning to prosper as well. Certain cities are popping up that have not been nearly as developed within the past 10 years. Look at Vietnam, China, and Singapore... Soon no one will want to come to America, why move when you can get the same quality of life in your home country..?

Anyways. Communication! In my freshman year, I learned how to kind of cook, do laundry, and work out. Having (mature)roommates helped me learn so much that I miss them. Not only did I make them do everything I didn't want to do, buy a lot of toiletries, they also showed me how they lived. By watching the little things that people do, you can take the good, and add it to your own. (Putting Bread in the Freezer, Peanut Butter + Honey Sandwiches, etc...)

Communicating is also especially important spiritually, I know if I'm not chilling with God, or praying, I am going to miss out on so much. The same with fellowship! Encouragement and encouraging is crucial as well as accountability. I just pray that I can always keep learning and being who he wants.

Commendatori

Recently I began to watch The Sopranos. Why? Because it has won 5/21(nominations) Emmys and a Golden Globe for its 6 seasons and is the most successful Cable Television show, ever. It has been very enthralling and well written. The characters are all believable people that you never want to be, and the only people that you ever feel sorry for are the victims of the main characters. But after 3 seasons I think I'm gonna call it quits; I feel like I'm not learning/getting anything healthy from it, yet have gotten a taste of the effort and art behind it. There's only so many people they can introduce and whack em before it gets old.

To counter-balance the values of loyalty and family in every episode there is in no short supply the amount of breasts and demanding sexual language shown/expressed. The timing of the outbursts are predictable and frequent but the language and actions followed are not. Watching the people's rudeness towards each other brings me sadistic joy.

I don't know why, but I have always felt like a dumbace. It might be because I hung out with constant berating older cousins and classmates that I feel an obligation to have a high spirit of learning. This need to learn has lead me to watch animes, documentaries, and shows which I would know nothing about. IE Go, Boxing, Dolphin Soldiers, Worst Jobs Ever. I find it a waste of time just to watch things now just for entertainment when they're about lame topics or in lame settings. I get that enough watching regular movies! Watch multiple hour long shows of complete made up pulp shi*boop*?, no thanks. When I watch things, I have to walk away with something, knowledge, social commentary, history, random facts, anything!

I found this Asian torrent site(requires registration) for Japanese, Korean, Cantonese and Mandarin movies. Despite its low popularity and frequent amount of softcore porn on there; it is very up to date and has the newest movies!

No. I don't download the porn. The only thing worse than Asian porn is Asian porn from Asia.

Even Less Fun

Obama won, not surprising at all. I will unfairly assume that it is only because of the nations new profound sense of self righteousness which has only expressed its own insecurity of racial equality. I will also unfairly assume a lot of it is in ignorance.

I feel like one of the few people in the world that could care less that Obama is the first black president of the US. How people hype it up is so irritating when there was already Condoleezza Rice(first woman as national security advisor) and Colin Powell, who was from Harlem. It's like their accomplishments are considered nothing to Obama's. Everyone knew it was going to happen one day. There was a black president in the show, 24, and that was realistic enough for me. The Game said it best when he said " fu*boop* Jesse Jackson cause it ain't about race now.

Now that white people have been de-throned it has made me less happy to see what I hope is not an ignorant mass. The embrace of ring-tone rap, soulja boy garbage, have all been telling me that that is not the case. The Krunk Derrtty South style has gone so awry. They add a a few bells and taps, change the pitch of some of the instrumentals, say someone's name for the hook, and bam, million dollars. The peak of materialism and ignorance is at a new apex, showcased by so many rappers and celebrities.

However after watching the 11th hour I feel a little bit better. Even though I shouldn't. Most of the movie was saying how much we were destroying the planet. It kept reminding me of the science fiction movie, Contact.

Panel member: If you were to meet these Vegans, and were permitted only one question to ask of them, what would it be?
Ellie Arroway: Well, I suppose it would be, how did you do it? How did you evolve, how did you survive this technological adolescence without destroying yourself?

The feeling of impending doom is reserved for later generations in my opinion. My children are so boned! The movie showed some new innovations that were more environment friendly and a lot of it was function>fashion stuff. The feeling of efficiency and well thought plans shown made me bust a nut. It was like I was watching Stardust for the first time.

I have been writing a short story for one of my Literature classes, so I have been feeling lyrically drained...thus, lack of posts/quality. ;x
