To be deemed as insensible by an insensible person... how sad... :\

I hate her obnoxious laugh. I finally get to stay up late tonight and sleep in tomorrow. If only tomorrow is a Friday. : /

Darkness after the sunsets can take 3/4 of a hour this time of year, and well over an hour in the Spring and Summer.

You mean darkness only last for 45 mins at your place?

Nope. What I meant was the time between when the sun sets and the time before it is fully dark.

for a moment I wanna ask if he lives somewhere along the polar region. =D during summer, darkness can be very very short, and non-existent during midsummer.

the reverse is so during winter.

I'm not even close to the Polar regions [about a 1200 miles short]. Even my younger son, who lives in Whitehorse in the Yukon [about 800 miles north of me], doesn't qualify as living in the Polar region. In midsummer he does experience sunset, followed by dusk which lasts until sunrise [it never gets fully dark].

So much of what we want...eventually changes into something we don't.

Ultimately, that might not be such a bad thing.

I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in
and stops my mind from wandering
where it will go
I'm filling the cracks that ran though the door
and kept my mind from wandering
where it will go

And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong
I'm right where I belong
I'm right where I belong
See the people standing there
who disagree and never win
and wonder why they don't get in my door

I'm painting my room in a colorful way,
and when my mind is wandering
there I will go

And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong
I'm right where I belong
I'm right where I belong
Silly people run around
they worry me and never ask me
why they don't get past my door

I'm taking my time for a number of things
that weren't important yesterday
and I still go

I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in
and stops my mind from wandering
where it will go
where it will go
I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in
and stops my mind from wandering
where it will go

What's if you know how your future is like? Will you be scared?

Don't know if it is good or bad, but there has been many things in life that I spent a lot of time, effort and money to get. And in the end, when I achieved my goal, I figured it wasn't really all that.

In reflection, the best things in my life came to me when I wasn't looking/wanting.

The safe route or the crazy route.

[Banh Mi]

Crazy all the way.

Read a writing by Eliot Miller about his journey from New Age to Christianity. Scared the hell out of me.

His conclusion, drug taking, meditation, Eastern religion, all not good and can connect you to the devil, which is very good in disguise. Communing with Holy Spirit/Jesus >>>> the bliss he found from New Age spirituality.

I don't know how true is his account. But, his description of his experience in new age movements of the 70s that he got (from taking drugs) eerily resembles those of my new age friends experience (they didn't take drugs though). Very troubling and confusing. The worst part is, he also attack Eastern religion and meditation (although only in one line) which has be really worried as Buddhist teachings always resonate with me and gave me a calmness (it made more sense than the 'one way to heaven only' teaching of Christianity). Now, he said that calmness and bliss also not good. They are Antichrist's trick.

On Friday, I was on my way to my car to leave the school and I walked pass by the dude. He was riding his bicycle and then fell on his butt real hard and probably hurt his lower back and palms, too. Two women asked him if he was okay, and he replied "yeah, I'm fine." I was really close to him and I saw that he was pretty hurt and that he was embarrassed as well. I saw the whole thing happening and what did I do? I smiled and kept walking. I did hesitate to rush to him and help him up, but seeing how embarrassed he looked, I wasn't sure what he had wanted from a stranger so I didn't do anything. Now, I feel really bad about it and am also paranoid of what my karma might be.

Next time, in a similar situation, you can extend your helping hand. Then, one good karma can balance out one bad karma.

My brain doesn't really work well on the weekend. I can't believe I volunteered to give a presentation on an article entitled, "Systematic Evidence of the Incidence of Adjustment on Education." @_@ This is a really bad weekend for my brain to be not working.

I hate the way academics in my class speak using big words coupled with the tendency to beat around the bush rather than approaching an issue straightforwardly. I'm convinced it's because they don't actually clearly know what the heck their talking about and thus take compensatory measures like using big words.

Ok, maybe I'm a tad bit jealous that my grasp of the English language is just not as sophisticated or "academic" as I would like it to be.

I guess that makes them look impressive.
