  • The Precipice

    Monday, Jun 22, 2009 2:29PM / Standard Entry

    I've lived a much more exciting life than most people. Those who know me, who really know me, know this to be true, but this life is both a gift and a curse. I don't think I can be happy settling down into an average persons job. I'm at the crossroads of my life; Do I stay on my current course and go into business in China and do something like hotel management? I'm sure I'll have fun for a few years, but what then? Will I feel hollow and empty without the excitment? Or should I rejoin the military to live the exciting life of a fighter pilot and forget all I learned about China?

    Is there some way I can have both?


  • In Beijing Again

    Monday, Jun 22, 2009 1:23AM / Standard Entry

    Hey all,

    I'm in Beijing again. This time I'm also looking for a job/internship. Doing a little part time acting and modeling, but looking for a hotel management internship. If I find one, I'll stay in China for a year. I'd like to find one in either Beijing or Sanya. :-)

    Otherwise, just adding to my dvd collection and hanging out with friends. I don't get online much, but hope everyone else is doing well, too!

    Ciao!

    PS. loving these random proxy sites like filtersneak.com that let me get to the blocked sites in China. Some of the sites, I've no idea why they block em. Youtube is blocked half the time, anyways.


  • Spring Festival and World Cup

    Monday, Mar 23, 2009 5:29PM / Standard Entry

    For my Chinese class I had to write an essay about a Chinese holiday, and another about a sporting event that I watched. Below are those two essays:

    春节是中国最重要的节日,是农历的新年。春节的时候,中国人到亲朋好友家里拜年,大人还给小孩子压岁钱。在这个节日中国北方人吃饺子,南方人吃火锅。很多很多人喜欢放鞭炮。春节也有一个故事。很久很久以前,有一个怪物叫‘年’。年什么都吃,也吃人。老百姓听年来了,他们争先恐后地逃跑。有一天,一个又累又饿的老人来到一个人家,问人们有没有东西吃。那家人没有很多吃的东西,但是还给老人一些吃的东西。突然,他们听到年来了!那家人告诉老人应该快逃跑,可是老人不怕。老人表面上是一个又累又饿的老人,但是实际上他是一个神仙。那个神仙知道年最怕很大的声音,所以他放鞭炮。年一听到鞭炮声就吓跑了。从那以后,在中国人们过春节的时候都会放鞭炮。

     

    我前年在中国的时候,在电视上看了第十八次世界杯。世界杯是足球总决赛,很多人觉得这个比赛是足球最重要的比赛。这个比赛是在德国比的,是意大利队跟法国队比。许多人知道法国队的经验比意大利队的丰富多了,可是意大利队的球员速度快极了,因为他们的平均年龄比较小。两个队都是非常棒的足球队。比赛开始的时候,法国队开球。上半场第七分钟,因为意大利队犯规法国队得到点球机会,主力队长十号奇达内踢进了第一个球。十二分后,意大利队得到角球机会,他们的主力球员,马克拉奇,头球入门。足球比赛下半场没有队员进球。在九十分钟时意大利队和法国队的比分是一比一平局,所以有加时赛。他们加时三十分钟,可是没有人得分,所以他们两队有一个点球机会。法国队没有进球,而意大利队进了一个球。最后,意大利队比法国队二比一,意大利队赢了。法国队的球技非常棒,可是那天他们运气不好。意大利队赢了,因为他们都很年轻,而且有赢球的野心。


  • Hey Everybody, I'm Joe Dirt!

    I was pretty lazy the last few days and didn't shave at all. Well, I ended up with a beard, so decided to get artistic. I made today official White Trash Day! Joe Dirt style...

    I went to school all day dressed in a wife beater and ripped jeans, and spoke in a southern accent. Got quite a few looks, and some giggles. Makes the school day go by faster.


  • I'm On Fire!

    Well, at least my profile is. I threw in a lil to get a flame membership. Every lil bit helps. Great website, nice people, least I can do. I've no idea what added stuff it has though. Should prolly look into it.

    **I just noticed that my current profile was moved to the 'flame member only' theme area.  =p
