Swallow's Nest

This is one of the most touching pictures taken in the Sichuan earthquake salvage. There is death and injuries, blood and fears. But please remember, we Chinese do have hope. I just can't find an accurate way to describe my feeling at seeing the picture. Feel it, hope you'll know what I mean.

 

We are a great nation. Compare everything with what happened in Katrina, you will be shocked at how united we are, how effecient our army is, how respectful Premier Wen is( Bush continued his vacation within two days of Katrina!). I feel obliged to appeal, once again, to all the readers of CNN and New York Times, please at least be open to the other side of the voice. You guys can forever distrust the Chinese media. But please do a little google translation( I know this will be tortuing sometimes), read the story from Chinese media even if you regard it as fictions, truth will reveal by themselves!

 

One foreign reporter asked a volunteer who was helping digging the ruins "where are your families". "They died in the earthquake." The man kept digging.

 

I always consider myself as the last one on the earth being patriotic. But this time I am so proud being a Chinese. (well, I hate politics as usual)

 

Salute! Like the boy in the picture. We have hope!

俺们这个非微距镜头拍拍花花草草还是能看的，呵呵，波士顿的春天是百花盛开的春天，不像江南的春天那么羞涩，真要镜头较起真儿来，举步维艰，一步十景。可惜一个名字都叫不上来。

马上就要离开这个除上海之外生活时间最长的城市，多少有些依恋，决定写点东西，拍些照，不愧对逝去的日子。

一直很想介绍几个有意思的美国同学，把Laura放在第一个是有现实意义滴。。。

Laura，典型的Boston女孩，爱尔兰后裔，对我坦承是个coach fan，会很在意眼影和衣服颜色的搭配以及时不时地变换下指甲油，但对国家锁事及天下大事一副与己无关，爱谁谁的超然感。一次小组讨论，同组印度同学问我对Tibet的看法，他也只是好奇罢了，Laura突然很严肃的问"I am just always wondering, why, why do people so care? Why the US and the rest of the world so care about Tibet?'' I was literally shocked!! This is exactly the point of all problems! When people are claiming to "free" Tibet, please at first ask yourself a question, "There are so many things going on in this world and in your country. Global warming, Hunger, Poverty, Oil pricing, Welfare system crash, Economic recession, Election, ect...why the governmant care so much about Tibet despite all? Why this happens surprisingly coincidentally in 2008?

 

Laura后来还说起Quebec类似的事，精辟！我发自内心地感叹还是存在能critically think地美国人的。

 

由此想到最痛恨的是明明啥都不懂，还伪正义地指责这个报道那个. Damn! I wholeheartedly call on the CPA system working in media industry. There should be a Certified Public Reporter something. Every journalist should pass 5 insanely-difficult exams to get CPR licence. Once you get the licence, beginning of the story. You should be responsible of eveything you declare in the newspaper or on tv whatever. Depite the fact that you didn't provide the facts, you are the one to give opinions. If you are found without performing due care, or fraud such as purposefully distorting the facts, you are dead, man!!Your licence is gonna be revoked and you are gonna shut up ever forever!

发了几张在state park拍的动物照片，还有几张风景过两天再发。

哎，感觉很对不起我的小加，不是手抖就是光线"掌握"不好，目前还不懂"控制"的说。

希望各位看客不要从摄影角度，而是以消遣的眼光，茶余饭后随便瞅瞅。

注，数数一共有多少乌龟:D

Daily Horoscope经常会看看，不禁往自己身上套，难怪那么准Sleep, do some sports, and eat correctly. You should be able to win this battle, provided you give yourself the opportunity to do so! This is a tough semester. I know.

 

 

再说另外一件事，呵呵，每次出租房子都会有这样那样好玩的人，弄得我都上瘾了。。。曾经在20个applicants里碰到 gays 和 lesbian，因为写了female only，gay们长篇大论自己是如何如何safe，but to be honest, I understand and respect their "preference".... just can't feel at ease being with them.

 

这次又碰到一个英国大姐，写了一封我有史，真的是有史，以来见过的最长的信, 把从出生到现在几乎每年发生的大事都一一列举。。。。就为了租几天的房子？？？ 使我不得不由衷质问，这位姐姐，您是在征婚吗？？？

 

是不是英国人都很罗嗦，想到yiming同学曾经的一个expected roommie,又是发照片，又是发简历，还说要付一年的房租并把奔驰拖运来，最后被拒还很不爽得发了一封更长的email,keeping asking why...也是英国人，啊~~~~前车之鉴，我绞尽脑汁，动用自己的最高英文水平，bullshit出一篇最委婉，最体面，最non-sense, 最长的。。拒信，不过话说回来，说best of luck的时候偶还是很真诚的！

 

Today is the Teacher's Day. Wish all the teachers in my life including those unaware of being my teachers, best in everything! Salute~~

Airports tell stories.

 

If you can see people with sweet smiles, happy cries and eager eyes, that must be an arrival. But if unfortunately it has to be a departure, everything is silent even the cries.

 

I always hate seeing people off, especially at the airport. I hate the strong contrast between the busy enviroment and blue inner heart; I hate the lonely way back wtih aimless destination. I hate myself who turns too dumb to express at critical times...

 

I cannot say it's a lovely vacation. Both of us happen to be in the wrong mood. There are so many "should have done"s in the past week. Wish God can give me a second chance.

 

Remember the song at the bus stop? It fits everyrone----Tomorrow will be better.

 

Some places elsewhere, old stories tell.

 

ps. My parents can reach my blog. There are certain things you can share with your friends, but definitely not your dad and mom. So I might open a new blog, with a new hotmail account...still considering it.

中国国足：

带球基本靠走,
传球基本靠瞅,
停球基本靠手,
过人基本靠抖，
防守基本靠搂,
进攻基本靠吼,
射门基本没有。

 

 

 

解释-------为什么国足输球

      一、草地原因 

         1、草皮太硬了
　　　2、草皮太软了
　　　3、不适应阔叶草及其它一些草
　　二、天气原因
　　　1、下雪
　　　2、下雨
　　　3、下冰雹
　　　4、阳光太好了
　　　5、冷
　　　6、热
　　　7、不冷不热（不能给对手造成麻烦）
　  三、赛场因素 　
　　　1、场内因素：　A、裁判帮他们 　　　　　　

                                B、裁判不帮我们　　 　 　　
　　　　　     　　　　C、对手身体太强壮　 　　　　

                                D、对手技术太细腻 　　　　
　　　　 　　　　 　  E、门柱帮了他们 　　　　　　

                                F、对方守门员发挥BT+超常
　　　　　　　　　　 G、 补时太短

                                H、补时太长
　　　2、场外因素：　A、客场作战，气氛影响 　

                             　B、主场作战，干扰太大 　 　
　　 　　　　 　　　 C、观众不为我们喝彩 　　　　

                                D、有人往场内扔手雷
　　四、抽签抽得不好
　　　1 、 同组都是强队踢输了，我拷死亡之组，按惯例当然应该中国队输。
　　　2、同组都是中等 水平队踢输了，主要是想赢怕输的思想包袱太重了，队员们没能放得开手脚。
　　　3、同组都是弱队踢输 了，对对手不够重 视 ，麻痹大意，一时疏忽。

　　五、其他原因（外在）
　　　1、对亚洲强队踢输了，恐X心理在作怪 ，走不出阴影。
　　　2、对亚洲弱队踢输了，对手进步太大了，太大了，我们对他们没有秘密可言了都。
　　　3、对欧洲弱队踢输了，中国队输给了欧洲队。
　　　4、对欧洲强队（比如 意大利队）0： 1踢输 了，告诉大家一个好消息：中国队仅以0：1输给了强大的意大利队！！
　　　5、对欧洲强队 （比如意 大利队）0：10踢输了，中国队踢出了自已的一惯水平，队员们也努力了，结果也不出全国人民所料。
　　　6、对欧洲强队（比如意大利队）0：100踢输了，精彩的比赛！意大利某球星进了2 0个，某球星进了25个！看来中国队跟意大利队的水平差距确实是有一点的。

　　六、其他原因（内在球员）
　　　 1、“海龟派”没回来踢输了，我们雪藏主力。
　　　  2、“海龟派”回来踢 输了，时差没 倒过来。

　　七 、 其他原因（内在综合）
　　　2、中国球迷素质差！
　　　3、中国足协这个名字差！
　　　4、中国队——队医技术差！
　　　5、中国足协领导人——办公室里那位倒水扫地的大妈差！

　　八、没有我们想不到的
　　草皮不软不硬，天气不冷不热i，裁判和门柱净帮着我们，对方没有守门员，补时时间长短我们说了算，到第三国去比赛，观众全都为我们猛喝彩，观众全都不往场内扔手雷，抽了一个人人都说好的签，“海龟派”回来后猛睡了一个月倒回时差参加比赛，换了个主教练，换了批外国球迷，换了个中国足协——的牌子，换了中国队——的队医，换了个中国足协领导人—— 办公室里的打杂大妈，踢输了——
　　综上所述，原因是：今天我们队，真TM不在状态！！ --

 

看央视解说员如何夸姚明。。。

1、凡是姚明进球：这球打得很合理，体现了姚明作为一个国际巨星及队内核心的作用。
2、凡是姚明没进：好球！（哐~~~打铁声）唉呀，没进。这球稍微大了点，虽然没进，但是这种球就很合理，火箭应该继续坚持这么打下去。
3、凡是其他队员进球：我们看，这就是姚明的作用！姚明在篮下牵制住了对方2到3名防守队员，让火箭的其他队员得到了轻松的空档出手机会。
4、凡是其他队员没进：唉，你看，这球就非常不合理，这时候应该把球传给姚明呀！
5、凡是不给姚明传球的：姚明在篮下要位，我们看，还是不传，再倒过来，还是不传。火箭的后卫们太缺少传球意识了。

6、凡是给姚明传球的：好球，这球传的意识非常好！火箭后卫们就应该多些这样的传球，多给姚明。
7、凡是传球给姚明而姚明没接住的：唉，又一个失误。这球就传得极不合理，球速太快，传得又太高了，姚明怎么能接得住。应该直接把球传到姚明手里。
8、凡是姚明进攻犯规的：新赛季刚开始，姚明还不太适应新规则，而且裁判对姚明也盯得很严。
9、凡是姚明防守犯规的：火箭的球员太没有协防意识了，这时候应该有人去给姚明补防一下。
10、凡是火箭领先时：火箭今天应该来说打得不错，特别是姚明，火箭应该继续这么打下去，要多给姚明球，多打内线，巩固防守，控制节奏。
11、凡是火箭落后时：火箭的外线今天发挥的太差了，根本给不了姚明有力的支持，导致姚明被包夹，命中率下降。火箭要想追回来，还得看姚明，必须多打姚明这个点。
12、凡是火箭赢球后：这场比赛火箭打得不错，尤其是姚明，在攻防两端都体现出了他作为一名国际巨星的价值。
13、凡是火箭输球后：火箭这场球虽然输了，但是我们可以看到，姚明的表现还是可圈可点的，主要是其他的角色球员发挥的太差了，没有给予姚明足够的帮助。

言辞挖苦讽刺程度，点名直接坦荡程度...堪称之极。。。

这是某个投行传出来的真实farewell letter. Well, I can't say "save it for a rainy day". But, to let you know, many people in this world, are suffering, more than we are.

 

Dear Co-Workers,

As many of you probably know, today is my last day. But before I leave, I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know what a great and distinct pleasure it has been to type “Today is my last day.”

For nearly as long as I’ve worked here, I’ve hoped that I might one day leave this company. And now that this dream has become a reality, please know that I could not have reached this goal without your unending lack of support. Words cannot express my gratitude for the words of gratitude you did not express.

I would especially like to thank all of my managers: in an age where miscommunication is all too common, you consistently impressed and inspired me with the sheer magnitude of your misinformation. It takes a strong man to admit his mistake - it takes a stronger man to attribute his mistake to me.

Over the past three years, you have taught me more than I could ever ask for and, in most cases, ever did ask for. I have been fortunate enough to work with some absolutely interchangeable supervisors on a wide variety of seemingly identical projects - an invaluable lesson in overcoming daily tedium in overcoming daily tedium in overcoming daily tedium.

Your demands were high and your patience short, but I take great solace knowing that my work was, as stated on my annual review, "mostly satisfactory." That is the type of praise that sends a man home happy after even a 10 hour day, smiling his way through half a bottle of mostly satisfactory scotch.

And to most of my peers: even though we barely acknowledged each other within these office walls, I hope that in the future, should we pass on the street, you will regard me the same way as I regard you: sans eye contact.

But to those few souls with whom I’ve actually interacted, here are my personalized notes of farewell:

To Rudy: I will always remember sharing lunch with you, despite having clearly labeled it with my name.

To Steven: I will miss detecting your flatulence as much as you will clearly miss walking past my cubicle to deliver it.

To Eileen: Best wishes on your ongoing campaign to popularize these “email forwards.” I sincerely hope you receive that weekend full of good luck, that hug from an old friend, and that baby for your dusty womb.

To Felix: I left a new wristwatch on your desk. It is so that you might be able to still tell time even without your hourly phone call to let me know the copier is jammed. (Call Steven – he’ll come by.)

And finally, to Kat: you were right - I tested positive. We’ll talk later.

So, in parting, if I could pass on any word of advice to the individual who will soon be filling my position, it would be to cherish this experience like a sponge and soak it up like a good woman, because a job opportunity like this comes along only once in a lifetime.

Meaning: if I had to work here again in this lifetime, I would sooner kill myself.

Very truly yours,

Chris Kula


PS: I will be throwing myself a happy hour farewell party at the burnt-out bar in the sub-basement of the bus station. Please do not stop by.

先to楠楠，你那个点名太复杂了 3，4十个问题，所以就被我忽略了，seraph的这个简单。。。
