Talledega Nights - The Ballad of Rick Bobby

It is funny! Really funny! This is the first movie where Will has been able to carry the movie!!! Gotta check it out! A guy who has two first names "Ricky" and the "Bobby" and all he says is:
"I wanna go fast!"
This is hilarious!

Back in Toronto

So I came back to Toronto, after a long annoying flight which was supposed to be direct from Shanghai to Toronto. Instead, I was detoured from Shanghai to Vancouver, which has the worst customs line ever! Then I had to catch a flight from Vancouver to Toronto, which was another hassle. They said all you have to do is put your bags on a conveyor and you are on your way! Then once you clear customs you see this huge friggin Air Canada Line. So I missed many flights that leave for Toronto, good thing they have service every hour.

In any case I am back in Toronto, and just went to a week long celebration for my friend's wedding. It was awesome.

I would like to congratulate Jessie and Raman in their new life together, wish you the best guys!

Cheers!

Hard Road

Well I thought, maybe I should do something a bit more regular with this blog, like have some sort of article about something or have a feature, just something to relay a bit more about myself... then it struck me, like most people we use music to relax, vent, background noise, something to lighten the mood or even keep you in the mood, you know what I mean ;)

In anycase this is the first song in what I hope becomes a regular feature!



Hard Road by Sam Roberts

Feel, feel it grow
In your mind, in your mind
Life is how you live it
Through time, through time

And there's no desert sun that is hot enough to feed your fire
We shipwreck like fools only to become the ocean's choir
And the sun dies until it's reborn
But there's no road that ain't a hard road to travel on

Got lost on the way, but you found the road again
Stay true to your friends, cause they'll save you in the end

There must be something in the air, in the air
Some kind of answer to my prayers, to my prayers
Some kind of answer to my prayers
Been dying since the day I was born
'Cause there's no road that ain't a hard road to travel on

I have a vision in my mind of a life that I've left behind
Yeah, can't you see that lost souls can't swim
You know you'll sink, but you still jump in
And it's alright to get caught stealing back what you've lost
Yeah, don't you know that lost souls can't swim
You beat them back, but they drag you in
And I can't say that I am sorry for all my many sins

And you try to find a love that'll see you through your darkest days
And her soft brown hair is as long as the Canadian highway
When the sun dies until it's reborn
But there's no road that ain't a hard road to travel on

Been dying since the day I was born
'Cause there's no road that ain't a hard road to travel on

There must be something in the air in the air
There must be something in the air in the air

Til next time!

I can, We can

“No individual raindrop ever considers itself responsible for the flood.”

...and I’m in a flood. A Flood of thoughts, a flood of actions, a flood of regrets, a flood of happiness, a flood of sadness, a flood.

Lately I’ve been wondering about all kinds of things, things that have been making my heart heavy. Things that I don’t know I should be thinking about. Like this war between Lebanon and Israel, is it really terrorism or it that gas pipeline? The international community held hostage to peace because certain countries have special interests (Why have the U.N.? – puppet!) Why North Koreans are feared by western corporations. Why children today will never understand why we ruined their planet.

We have made so many choices, and have repeatedly made wrong ones. We let our greed and thirst for money and power, overwhelm our good nature. We let lust empower our sexuality, when our sexuality is an empowerment of our being. We hide behind the corruption of religious interpretation and government polices to hurt other human beings, willingly or unwillingly. Did God really want that of his children? We let a mother and her children go hungry because we believe gay issues are more important than abolishing poverty. This is crazy. The world has gone mad!!

This is a flood and there will be no Noah’s Ark to save anyone. We must save ourselves. We must change. Like the individual raindrop we don’t consider ourselves responsible for the flood, but we are. Unlike the raindrop we are conscious beings who can think and can take action to create a different type of flood. A flood that changes thought, changes perception, changes lives.

This world has so many great things to offer, but we can’t be immobilized by this flood. We need to take action, whether it’s serving food at the local shelter, reading to children, being a Big Brother, I mean even just being a good friend.

My kryptonite.

I guess I should end this the way I started it, with a quote.

“I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something, and I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.” - Edward Everett Hale
