Hello peeps...

Read this and tell me what you think.

and did you know that there's something called conservativematch.com? is there a liberalmatch.com? I guess it isn't that odd... since there's jewish internet dating services and christian ones; of course there are ones based on culture... But... I still thought it was amusing... hehe

Meet You There - Simple Plan

Now you're gone,
I wonder why,
You left me here,
I think about it on,
and on, and on, and on,
and on, and on again.
I know you're never coming back,
I hope that you can hear me,
I'm waiting to hear from you..

Until i do,
You're gone away,
I'm left alone,
A part of me is gone,
And I'm not moving on,
So wait for me,
I know the day will come..

I'll meet you there,
No matter where life takes me to,
I'll meet you there,
And even if I need you here,
I'll meet you there.

I wish I could have told you,
The things I kept inside,
But now I guess its just too late.
So many things remind me of you,
I hope that you can hear me,
I miss you,
This is goodbye,
One last time..

You're gone away,
I'm left alone,
A part of me is gone,
And I'm not moving on,
So wait for me,
I know the day will come..

I'll meet you there,
No matter where life takes me to,
I'll meet you there,
And even if I need you here,
I'll meet you there,
No matter where life takes me to,
I'll meet you there,
And even if I need you here,
I'll meet you there.

I'll meet you there....

And where I go you'll be there with me,
Forever you'll be right here with me..

I'll meet you there,
No matter where life takes me to,
I'll meet you there,
And even if I need you here,
I'll meet you there,
No matter where life takes me..
I'll meet you there,
And even if I need you..
I'll meet you there...

I'll meet you there...
I'll meet you there...

__


Out of no where, it hit me.
I miss you more than I thought I could or would.
I didn't think it was in me.
Once again, you've taught me something new.
So, I think I want to thank you;
For everything you do for me,
Even when you're not here.
Amazing.
Simply, amazing.
One more sunset.
One more sunrise.

The Day After Tomorrow

I'll admit it... I liked it. I thought it would suck ass, and while it is no master piece, it's interesting enough. Maybe it's because I think Jake Gyllenhaal is loverly... regardless, while the scientific facts maybe skewed, what can you really expect from Hollywood. It would be impossible to predict factually what mother nature intends anyways. At least that's what I believe...

I guess I also liked the human side of the movie, too. What people do to survive. The slap in the face that many of us need to see something that is right in front of our line of vision. It's not always clear right? Friendship and loyalty is reflected in the actions of many in the movie, which I always enjoy because I believe in that, perhaps too much.

I don't think we can exist as a society without each other; the good and the bad, the mediocre, the extra-ordinary. What would we be without each other?

Anyways... I guess the lesson today is... appreciate mother nature and her powers! and oh, yeah... humanity, too...


P.S. Harry Potter is coming out... June 4th... That's this coming Friday... That's when I get my paycheck... I'm gonna be one happy happy asian...

P.P.S. I want to see I, Robot... With Will Smith... looks good... I like how some movies can finally handle graphics... :)

I wanna see a lot of movies this summer... be prepared my friends... be... prepared...

Got this off of Jeremy's site

Read this. Be informed.

Goodnight, Seattle

Just finished ranting to the Rach... I think I have a lot more to say... but it just becomes this agonizing process of 'What will they think?'

So, read about this dude named Rance in the online papers. He alledges to be a celebrity blogging to rant(Rants=Rance) about his work, life, etc., as we all do on these damn things... People have apparently speculated to death about his true identity... Wonder if anyone thought that it was some Kutcher-wanna be, if it isn't him at all, and all the readers and believers are being "punk'd".

I've come to appreciate this solitude. Right now, it's just the right amount of friends and just the right amount of life.

Rach and I talked about a lot of things tonight... and I doubt that I've made any sense during our conversation... I probably kept her up... haha... I ranted about how small Ithaca really is, and how underneath all the liberal residents, the people who have true power are rich conservative pricks.

I truly appreciate the diversity as far as the socio-ecomic status' go in Ithaca, but the difference between the rich people with the big houses to the astounding poverty presented in the back woods somewhere in Ithaca, where people literally live under the carboard boxes almost makes me sick. For such a small town, there seems to be a lot of variety...

I don't know how many people that goes to IC realizes that Ithaca's population is very UNlike the population of IC... Ithaca has quite the diverse population, which Rach says will be great for the kids being raised here... and I agree... living in such diversity can only help increasing understanding and appreciation of differences.

People amaze me.

Admittedly, I am quite vocal when it comes to certain issues that are close to my heart. While certain people here I've met are too worried about others liking them to vocalize their beliefs and opinions, there are people that are not afraid to say what they mean and defend who they are. You know who you are.

Also, I admit, that I fail to be tolerant with people who are intolerant and small-minded. I've spoken up a lot about the small-town mentality. I've met only a few, and I mean few, exceptions to my theory that small-towns many times breed small-minds.

It may be stereotypical... but sadly enough, it seems to be true... especially encountering a certain asswipe that's been raised in Ithaca; a boy named Jesse Katen; and a certain NJ boy. Certain people I won't reveal the name, though it seems quite obvious who it is, because I feel that if they know who they are, good... if they don't... good god... go experience life some more.

anyways... none of that was in any particular order as I wrote it... It's just some more rantings... and me saying, Goodnight, Seattle...

Issues

Today, I got my credit card finally in the mail. But, alas, I must send for a new one b/c this is the second set of credit card that I have received and i never received the first set. So, i sent for a new one w/ a new account number and such. Lovely.

Chase bank people are crazy polite... especially if you're a new customer I guess. I love great customer service. The woman that I spoke with tonight had an English accent and it was cool because she was all polite and I had just watched Love Actually... AGAIN... and it was just cool... Alright?

Right now, I'm waiting for Joe to come over so we can go do some aerobics at the community center. It's like my first real exercise machine thing this summer... My pitiful attempt at pilates doesn't even count, despite the fact that my abdominals were sore for 3 days... THREE...

I'm kind of liking the summer right now...

There... I said it... I'm enjoying life...

! Gotta go... Joe's here!

My Wednesday Night w/ the Rach

My weekly wednesday dinner with Rach was fun. We ate ramen since we couldn't go to the korean restaurant b/c rach's car is dying and i have no car... or a license for that matter. Regardless, in lieu of netflix delievering the movies to me already, Rach and I watched Love Acutally. I highly recommend it. It is quite endearing... I do love those Britainers hehe... I actually loved Love Actually... hehe

I also watched my favorite scenes from Return of the King... damn, I love that movie...

Watched Unfaithful... I heard it was good, but it's more pornish than movie-ish I think... A lot of sex... dunno... maybe I wasn't in the mood after watching Love Actually... hehe... It wasn't that bad though... I liked the ending...

What did I do today?

I was in the lab all day... we started talking about going to DC and we all got excited about it... hehe... Hopefully, it will be fun...

I mean... my life isn't really all that exciting...

I think the highest point of my day was getting the netflix movies in the mail... now, if only my credit card would come already...

Since I can't think of anything else to write....

Here's one of my favorite quotes from the Love Actually:

Prime Minister(Hugh Grant): ...solving what really matters... to Britain. We may be a small country but we're a great one too. A country of Shakespeare, Churchill, The Beatles, Sean Connery, Harry Potter, David Beckham's right foot... David Beckham's left foot, come to that...

yea... I'm really thankful that Britain brought us Harry Potter... You know I am!!

And, my real favorite:

Prime Minister(Hugh Grant): Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think of the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the twin towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. And if you look for it, I've got a sneaking suspicion that love actually is all around.


aww... right?


Exactly, how ambiguous am I to you people? As much as I believe that I am to you? Or even more? Or, less...?

Answer me that, peeps...

What I Should be Doing Right Now....

is... Sleeping! But instead, I'm fiddling with the blogger...

Summer Time....

It is indeed summer time, and I have decided to create a new blog for this summer. I've been doing new ones for every new academic year, but since I am hanging around in Ithaca for the summer, I figured, 'Oh, what the hell...'
