Somebody tell God to let it snow, dammit! I changed back to my stock tire and wheel expecting some massive snow attack, but no sign as of yet (well, some claim that there were some flurries way back when, but that doesn't count) I am not particularly happy with the less sticky tires, so it had better start snowing like crazy so I can forget about my crappy winter tires and concentrate on snowboarding |

Here are some interesting quotes from Mr. Bush. My current favorite is the one that goes: You're free. And freedom is beautiful. And, you know, it'll take time to restore chaos and order . . . order out of chaos. But we will.Yup, it'll take time to restore chaos... heh heh. But with all the kidding aside, I find it very cool that people in the US, or the media, I should say, can explicitly make fun of the president of the country and completely "get away with it". I won't go as far as to say that there's 0 ceonsorship in the US, cuz US has its own issues with freedom of speech, but the degree of freedom U.S. public and media seem to practice is far greater than that of many other so-called democratic nations. As much as a lot of countries practice democracy in its fundamental form, not all of them provide freedom of speech to the extent that U.S. does. So you don't find their media mocking the president as often and as badly as they do here in the US. Americans should feel really good about that. :) If the Corean media publicly made fun of our own political leaders to the extent they do here maybe there could less riots held by angsty and, sometimes, clueless college students. Food for thought. ;) |

It's been some time since I had read "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus". I never thought the book was truly the marvel like many claimed it to be. Don't get me wrong, I thought the book was good, and everyone should read it, but it's just that some of the generalizations found in the book were a bit too much from my perspective. The book did, however, have quite a few eye opening points that allowed me to look back at myself and think about my own actions so that I could reflect on them more carefully. The reason why I bring that book up is because I remember that the book talked about how men are problem solvers (I'm paraphrasing here), that men feel good when they can solve a women's problem since they are rewarded by a sense of responsibility. I don't know if that's true for all men, but I certainly feel very good when I can help my partner. It's actually a good feeling to have that kind of a responsbility cuz it lets you know that there's something you can offer to your partner. So, in my eyes, if a Marsian in Dr. Gray's book likes solving problems, and the Venusian is not going to allow him to solve her problem together, then she must do either one of two things:

Today during lunch we were talking about "greed", and I wanted to make a point that people don't really need money once they reach a certain threshold. In other wordds, once you have earned a certain amount of money that keeps you fed, sheltered, and clothed ( even in a rather luxurious way ) you have no real need for that extra 100 million dollars. Of course, "need" can't really be defined perfectly since it varies greatly from person to person, but for the sake of the argument let's just say that the most luxurious "need" can be met with a monthly salary of 1/2 million after tax. If that amounts to about 12million a year before tax, then people who earn more than that are basically accruing "redundant" income. Of course you can argue that the income isn't redundant since it eventually gets distributed to other entities and thus allowing the economy to keep moving along, but I'm not trying to talk economics here so keep reading. The part I'm interested in talking about is that in my eyes, once you've met your "need", as defined previously, the reason why you're "allowing" more income to flow your direction makes me think of you a greedy person or not a greedy person. Of course, this judgement is a rather superficial one, but when people judge other people they never really know what's going on in the other person's head or mind so I think they're all superficial ( just to different degrees ) anyway. So if your motivation is primarily based on money (i.e. you earn money for the sake of accruing more materials that can be bought with money), then I'd call your $12 million +/year ass a greedy one. If you're motivation is to acquire the ultimate secret of the universe and it just happens to rake in money for you and you divert all that money (every single penny beyond the $12 million mark) back to the economy, then your $12 million +/year ass isn't a greedy one. Pu heh heh. This sounds so silly now that I've written it out, but hey... I'm just a simple and naive kid, what can I say? :) |

I got my parking ticket #2 on Saturday... $30.... BUT! $15 if I pay it within 5 days! :) So I sent it in today! Yay~ I'm such a good citizen! Wait.... Hmm... I guess the fact that I didn't put coins in the meter makes me a bad citizen... -.-;; Cell phone liberation day (11/24/2003) is coming up if anyone is thinking of switching providers but keeping their number! Oh, and Honey is coming out on 12/5/2003... I don't care if the movie bombs... I'm gonna go see Jessica. :P I will try and drag our iFS crew as an excuse to go see it... ^^ Check out the trailer, the moves are pretty hot! |

Dang.. First I thought Bad Boys II was gory, then when I saw Final Destination II I was proven wrong, and now Kill Bill seems to top them all. That movie is a constant screaming of "Oh!", "Ouch!", "Whoa!!!!", "Damn...."... It sure was full of action! I must say the fight sequences put all of those crap you saw in The Matrix to shame. I'm not sure why people clapped at the end, tho... -.-; Oh, and last but not least... GoGo Yubari, played by Chiaki Kuriyama plain rocks... She seems to be a veteran in Thriller/Horror flicks in Japan. ( In case you're wondering... GoGoYubari.com seems to be taken already. o_0; ) And, about the Philly cheese steak pizza.... Hmm... It's nothing out of the extraordinary... Just a stinking pizza... not recommended. :( |

I want to watch Kill Bill and try the new Philly cheese steack pizza. If Kill Bill is sold out Lost in traslation would be cool... |
