James' Pad

Sorry about the slow reply on the comments.
Because I really don't know how to reply this kind of question.

Let's put it this way, my mom is not the
kind of person that you can argue with.
She is very irrational.
So I never try to ask about it.
Because it always leads to conclusion
"Just do it... I'm your mom, do you think I will try to fail you or something?"
But for the opportunity of saving people?
I don't think so... somebody in your family, maybe. haha

As I am older, I kept thinking that living for others is very pathetic.
Being a doctor or playing piano, that's my mom's dream, let her finish that in her dream.
But being a dentist, is my current goal.
Maybe it's about material wealth... I never denied.
But I want the job that can back my hobby up.
and repay my parents' supporting of my higher education.
My parents are both teachers, my dad is a high
school math teacher, while my mom teaches elementary school.
My family is by no mean welthy.
So I know how hard it is to make money.
I just hope that I will have time to be with them once I'm a dentist.

I guess for past few years living alone. I became too realistic.
I've lost the creativity... I've start to think like a 50 years old...
Maybe I am a selfish bastard.
Maybe I should go save the Africians.
But in my point of view. If one can't even repay your parents...
Don't even think about worrying the wolrd...

The first half of the year is about to get to the end.
Looking back this semester, I really enjoied the English.
We read a lot of different styles, we watched
thank you for smoking and seven up even Chappelle Show.
I still enjoy the class even though I might not have good grades.

In this book, James Bladwin, as a black American,
trying to modify (or we should say redirect) black people's
way of living.

Also, he talked about the homo sexual issues.
To me, I think it is very brave to talk about it in the essays.
I don't know much about Blacks.
But homosexual issue is the one that's forbidden in Chinese Society.

The writing reveals the low-class life(?!)

It is hard for people like s to imagine the lfe
that lives by only the minium wages.
Peosonally I just think it's impossible to live
in the States with minium wages.

With minium wages, you can still live.
But can you planned for anything? For saying, a laptop or a PC?
Probaby not.

Cherish what you have now.
Don't take it as granted. You never know what will happen.

The rebelness in me just got up again...
I just don't think fast food is the reason that cause obesity...

Think about it. It's always us that's picking the food
instead of McDonald or Burger King pick it for us.

It is us, that have choose so much food, cause the obesity.

I haven't eat burgers for a while because of obesity.
But I know why am I fat. I just ate too much, that's all.
Of course, there's dark side.
But we are the one who's making the choice.

I can't remember how long it had been
But I start to think about you so much...

Everytime I walk by, I start to expect you are there...
I don't know since when I start to feel dissapointed when you weren't there...

FXXk... I think I like you...

It's a really good movie.

Well, to be honest, I am still a smoker as I'm typing this blog.
So... it didn't really urges me to quit.

But I've been trying to control my
desire and hope it's working.

Let's back to the movie.
I think I've learned most about this movie, i the art of talking and arguing.
"If you argue correctly, you're never wrong." is all I have to say...

The chapter we read was the first chapter, economy.
In the story, Thoreau moves from moral gravity to the style
of a how-to manual, and then to a lyrical flight of fancy,
and then to a diary entry.

Thoreau would happily admit the charge of self-centeredness:
he shows his vision and in the depths of his mind and soul.
The vitality of this first chapter makes us ponder whether a
lively sense of being centered in one’s world is such a bad thing after all.

But is it really that easy to move from complicated life to simple life?
I doubt it. Especially tto our generation.
I might live without cellphone, but I may not live without internet.

Well, Emerson's self-reliance reminds me of the issue I've had for the past few years.
That is, what is success is life?

Because of the background of Taiwan, being conolized by Japan for 50 years.
Elders think that being a dcotor is the best career for the smart students.
Elders refuse to be a lawyer because of the background.
Tradition heritages, therefore my parents wants me to be a doctor, too.

Time passes by, I still have doubt if I want to be a doctor or not.
I want to be a dentist, maybe.

My mom still is trying to convince me to be a doctor, still.
She told me it was "good".

Good, is just a word the describes something.
It's not absoulute, it's what we gave them.

To, me I think the underground man have some crazy truth spoken,
even though his opinion is somewhat negative. It is bloody truth.
To me, the Underground Man is critical of rational egoism and other dangerously totalitarian visions of utopia. However, while we think about the truth, I think he is a victim of that time.
He was deprived of positive social interactions, the Underground Man tries to relate to the world according to the codes and examples he found. The failure of these attempts makes him even more bitter and isolated, driving him deeper underground.

I Ended up going to bed 4 this morning... I am a retard.

But this came through my mind when I was sleeping.

I moved from a country where legal drinking and smoking age is 18.
To be honoest with you, I think the drinking portion is lower in where I'm from.

There's always rebel inside our mind.
You see, kids drinking because they want to be cool.

So I suggest that our state can lower the drinking age to 18.
I bet people will stop drinking.

It's Friday. Today is auctually pretty sweet, though.
My rock discussion auctually ended early, we were there for five minutes and dismissed.

Do I like Friday? Hell YES.
Not just because I enjoy watching drunk people.
It's a pretty good day to feel lazy, too.

You can put your homework aside, have a couple beer(!?) with friends.
I played my new game on my computer,
which I bought about a month ago and never had time to play it.
It a pretty laid back day.

I'm feeling lazy...
