power of fun

I'm having too much fun to blog... too much fun to focus... too much fun to want to slow down and appreciate whatever it is I'm enjoying so much

getting worried.

btw, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

And all the small things...ah, good times

realizations + crazy

My back is covered with knots, my legs are moisturized, my oblique(s) is/are sore, and my back is wet, and now I’m going to be disgustingly honest...

I started off pretty bitter because I was asked to shovel my driveway (the only one of my siblings, mind you). So as I was doing it, the rest of my family left for various reasons. Then it hit me; I should be grateful to have a driveway. After that, I was pretty happy – singing Christmas carols pretty loudly and saying hi to all my neighbours who walked past me.

And then, another realization occurred. I should be thankful for my neighbours too! So when I was done my driveway; I happily shoveled my neighbours’ driveways on either side of my house. This accounts for the knots and muscle pains.

To celebrate this momentous day, I decided to leave my mark by lying around leaving my body print all over the place (if you go past my house, you’ll know what I’m talking about). So lying there, waiting for my pants to soak through with melted snow, I watched the clouds pass... haven’t done that in a while. It was nice... people probably thought I was nuts, but oh well.

Snow sticks to cotton well. I had cotton pants on. When I finally came in the house, I brought so much snow in, my mom will think I carried armfuls of snow inside... o_O. I couldn't just walk around w/ super snow-covered pants so I took ‘em off by the front doors.

So I was prancing around the house in my underwear when I realized something else.
I haven’t been playing any sports --> no need to wear shorts --> no need to take care of legs. Therefore you can imagine the 2 things that happened:
1. they’ve become hairy.
2. they’ve become dry.
As you can see from the first line of this blog, I only solved one of these 2 problems... *ha ha* Oh yeah, who’s hot now? =oP

Why is my back wet? Because I was sweating. Period. Speaking of which, I’m going to shower now. Maybe I’ll shave... but I guess that’ll be another blog entry... BYE!

new years resolution?

So far, I have yet to successfully accomplish a new year’s resolution. Let’s recap on some of these failures I’ve made in the past (I can’t remember which years these were from or even if they were just goals I set for myself every so often):

• Not to say, “You wanna fight about it?!” to anyone
• Weigh less than ___ (this number increases as the years pass)
• No swearing. By swearing I mean words Jerry Springer censors on daytime TV
• Not buy clothing for myself
• Do devotionals at least once a day
• No watching more than 1 hour of TV a day <-- this one I actually did, but over a span of a few years

That’s about all I can remember. For this coming year, my potential new year’s resolutions are:

• No deep fried food
• No coffee
• Make someone laugh at least once a day
• Learn how to play a new musical instrument (well)
• Relearn piano chords/scales
• No sleeping in class

-------------------------
That’s all I got so far. Feel free to tell me any more suggestions. I didn’t include anything “spiritual” this time because I’m hoping I would do those things anyway... o_O Hope that works out.

---------------------------
On a side note, I’ve discovered my eyesight has gotten worse. I should really get it checked out and get a new prescription. Also, I’ve been feeling like I should be visiting a dentist soon (it’s been over 6 years since my last check-up... gross, eh? I hope flossing worked) – I’ll be talking to Tracy about this. =oP

One more thing, there are parties in the Subway trains. My friend just told me about it… and since I don’t know how to make a button that links to the site, here it is: www.newmindspace.com/ridethereindeer.php
There’s a party happening tonight, actually. If you go, please, take pics.

I want to be obsessed with God... is that too much to ask?

all of God's sheep

Lately I’ve been feeling like I’m confining myself to a Christian community that’s mainly (almost only) Chinese. I want to browse churches that are multicultural that don’t have any classification as to what ethnicity people are... no more Chinese Baptist church, Chinese Christian softball, or Chinese Christian fellowship (although I don’t attend the CCF at York due to my class schedule, but I’m sure if I were able to go to one of York’s Christian groups, it would be the Chinese one). Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with being a part of these groups, it’s just personally, I feel like I should see what else there is outside the Chinese community.

And hence this post... I’m trying to step out of my box and remind myself and everyone that Christ is present in many cultures. The only things separating us are the physical structures we choose to worship in.

They're in alphabetical order (funny that Chinese was the first one on the list). I'm missing many other languages, so if you know of any other ways of writing "God's sheep", please let me know. Thanks. =o)

york in all its stupid glory

FIX THE ATKINSON COURSE WEB SITES!!
FIX THE ATKINSON COURSE WEB SITES!!

this is absolutely ridiculous! it is exam time and we can't access the course website!! why the hell do we pay tuition for this garbage??

myself and every other student who is and will be affected by this idiocy will make this complaint heard because it directly effects our educational success.

absolutely ridiculous.

-----------------------------
That is exactly what I wrote to technical support! I can’t sign into any of my course websites; consequently, not allowing me to see any exam details, lecture notes, or anything else my professors posted up! And this doesn’t simply affect me – everyone in my program I talked to can’t sign in either!

For the love of God... WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO!?!? ARRGGGG!!!

perverted byproducts

Something I’ve been seeing a lot these days is just how “ghetto” youths are. And I don’t mean this just in their outfits, but also the personality and the speech that comes with it.

• No one says “hi” anymore, it’s all “yo” this or “yo” that.
• Little teenaged boys calling their friends homies or brothers or whatever
• Not using indicative participles (i.e. “to be”). So instead of saying “I am” or “we were” or “she is”, it would all be: “I be”, “we be”, “she be”. For example, instead of saying, “we are hanging out with my friends.” It is, “we be chillin’ wid mah homies”
• How are you? --> What’s up? --> Sup? --> Whatchu sayin’? ... it may have changed again, but I’m not hip enough to know. o_O
• The “I’m too cool for school” attitude is more prevalent now, as I heard from my friend who taught high school students

Most of these things don't bother me, they're just observations. But what tops the list is how dang perverted kids/teens are these days. Literally, perverted. Disgusting. Junior high students having sex; throwing rainbow parties; girls pretending to be lesbians to get guys’ attention; girls wearing revealing “clubbing” clothing to school; FREAKIN’ oral sex in public washrooms; and guys encouraging it!! I am so revolted by this reality that it makes me sick.

Sometimes I don’t blame the youths for being the way they are. I blame the damn media; passing off that “sex sells” garbage like it’s a good excuse. Profit-driven fools. I hope they’re not surprised when they discover their 11 year old granddaughter wants another abortion.
