to sing the song, instead'f finding a euphemism 4 the lord's good name; why not use Youngbrunettessucks hsearchs Liptonicedtea nsearchm devilsfilm.comu Tzh German Girl Vs Black Cockusearchtnot in vain?!?!   that is, why not sing the song direktly to god?   imagine these modified lyrics 4 a beno cover version: "hey god, it's raining; but i'm not complaining; u'r filling me up w/ new life."   it's a song'f rejoice.   why not rejoice in the lord?   why not sing praises to his name?   why not?   the "liberal" benocritic sneers, "if martin l. gore were dead, he'd be spinnin' 'round in his grave!"   u know what?   that's 'xaktly why i call myself a "progressive" n' not a "liberal."

neway, on our 1st nite btwn halloween n' elektion day, we may get some rain here in the bay area.   hopefully, rain in the bay area = snow in the sierras.   "snow in the seirras" sounds like the title'f a 1980s mellowsynthpop song, sumpthin' like shona laing's "soviet snow."   was there ever a song like "snow in the sahara"?   there certainly was a song called "snow in summer" by the cure in the 1980s.   a couple'f days 'go, i got from back to the awful topik'f politks; my friend who has that popular blog, she sed on her blog that she n' her husband r both (political) conservatives - which i knew - but enjoy listening to npr.   i knew that 'bout them, n' i've gotta laud them as well as other conservatives like them that i know who can listen to so much radio programming that goes 'gainst their political beliefs.   i get pretty stressed in the head when i'm 4ced to listen to conservative talk radio stations like ksfo.   seriously!   i really like air1, "the positive alternative" contemporary christian musik (ccm) radio station.   i like the musik but worry that station's got 2 much'f what's wrong w/ modern christianity in this country, that is, they're startin' to push political agendas, 1s that so.called fundamentalists n' christian conservatives like; but i, as a christian, don't.   lately, i've heard many announcements by dr. james dobson.   altho' others @ my church like him; i personally have mixed feelings 'bout his msgs.   however, the msg he gave on the most recent announcement i heard totally jives w/ me: he talked 'bout how modern amerikan society doesn't give muthas 'nuf respekt.   i totally agree.   yah, modern amerikan society sez women need to werk n' have an award.winning career in order to be worth nething.   this is what modern amerikan society calls "feminism."   however, i always say, "2 wrongs don't make a rt."   men r already subjekted to this rat race that ruins marriages n' families.   subjekting women to this may make things fair but not rt.

[later] Àú³á ÀÌÁö¸¸ ¾ÆÁ÷µµ Á÷Àå¿¡¼­: i'm still@werk.com.   i plan on goin' to valley fair 2nite.   i've gotta get my icer air 2k6 tic.   also, i need to buy some b.day presents: toby n' phil.   what would they want?

i'm glad i skated (skateboarded) a bunch 2day cos it's s'pposed to rain 2nite n' 2morrow.

elektronics probs rain down

¸ñ¿äÀÏ ¿ÀÈÄ: i'm havin' lots'f frustratin' 'puter/elektroniks/netwerkin' probs!   my palm tungsten t5 pooped out, so i'm $endin' it in 4 repair, which ¢o$ts ~$180 ($182.95).   that doesn't plz me.   [later] furthermore, i'm havin' tons'f e.mail probs still: i'm havin' probs w/ the ocf.berkeley.edu server as well as the yahoo! server.   why?!   how can the yahoo! server be this skrewed up?!   my werk.com laptop's been really slow lately 2.   also, my folders get skrewed up: my "my documents" folder appears as a foto folder, my foto folder appears as a gen'l dokument folder, etc.   i do have a regedit fix 4 that, but i shouldn't hafta use it this often!   what's up?!   it's been raining as predikted... i mean, not only have 'puter/elektroniks probs been rainin' down; but, outside, it's literally been rainin' (h2o).   the rain prevents me from skateboardin'.   last nite, i went to the giants dugout store in valley fair n' bought my tic to icer air 2k6.   after that, i swung by copeland board $hop to c if they $ell pivot cups 4 skateboard trucks, but they don't.   *sigh* do ppl not change out their pivot cups when they wear out?   i'll prob'ly buy'em online.   as i sed b4, i'm fan¢yin' buyin' a 2nd skateboard, but i dunno... maybe, maybe not.   i guess it's fun to imagine the perfekt setup.   i dunno.   i don't think i wanna get a full.on ramp/pool setup w/ the wide deck n' wide trucks or nething.   i like sort'f straddlin' the diff(erence) n' going w/ the ~7.75" setup, so i can do street tricks as well as ride the bowls.   in a way, i'm kind'f picky 'bout my equipment in boardsports n' end up likin' what i've been usin' the most.   *shrug* like, i know i ought to get a longer snowboard deck 4 better powder ridin'; but i like havin' my short freestyle deck to stay lite n' have tight spins 4 those backside 360s that i can sometimes pull off, u know?   man; w/ this current rain, i'm just sooo itchin' to get onto the snowboardin' slopes!   i wanna ride thru the terrain park n' hop on some rails.   n' catchin' big air... that's sumpthin' i can do on snowboard but have yet been able to do on a skateboard 4 some reason... some mental block reason, i guess.

[later] lately, i've been eatin' 2 much n' exercisin' 2 li'l.   of course, that's a horrible combination!   i skipped taekwondo on tues nite to hand out candy @ home.   i might skip taekwondo sparring praktice 2nite; i dunno.   part'f me sez i need a brk from taekwondo; 'nother part reminds me that i need exercise.

[later] so i had to make the call re: whether to pay up that $183 to get my ol' palm tungsten t5 fixed or else instead maybe to buy a new pda.   *sigh* it was a close call, 'specially takin' into acct that my "repaired," "refurbished," or "replaced" unit won't have a warranty.   man... *sigh* it's really not an ideal situation.   [later] i dislike when things like gadgets break!

i found out that boreal's makin' snow now.   kewl.   i wonder when my 1st snowtrip'll be... n' where!   alpine meadows sez that they're openin' on nov 17.   i'd like to go snowboardin' on nov 18 n' nov 25.   on dec 2, i'd like to go to the shoot, should i go to taekwondo 2nite?   should i go to the gym instead?   *sigh* choices... i really dunno.   [later] u c, earlier, i really wanted to ditch taekwondo 2nite to go to the gym.   however, now that my palm pda's busted, i won't have muzik; so a weightliftin' n' cardio machine werkout doesn't appeal to me so much.   *sigh* however, i've got to get some exercise!

elektion research

±Ý¿äÀÏ ¾ÆÄ§: ah, 'tis fri.   elektion day's comin' up.   i haven't yet totally studied my elektion mat'l; n', as a responsible voter, i should.   it's still rainy.   it wasn't raining when i took sooni 4 her walk this morn, but the ground was plenty wet; n' thus her paws got plenty wet w/ muddy h2o.   she's cute.   this morn, i ate a generous brkfast: [later] a soy hot dog sandwich w/ soy cheese b4 sooni's walk n' a peanut butter sandwich after sooni's walk.   i've got many persimmons to eat.   my mom gave'em to us.   she flew out on a vakation trip to china ("mainland" china, i.e. the only china as taiwan's just taiwan).   2morrow's icer air 2k6 @ the at&t stadium in sf.   am i excited?   heck yah.

[later] yesterdasy, 4 lunch, i went home, n' kaela microwaved some trader joe's cheesy, cheesy, cheesy, cheese enchiladas.   mucho queso!   last nite, after taekwondo sparring praktice, a small grp'f us went to ¸¸µÎ¶û Ä®±¹¼ö mandoorang kalgooksoo 4 our late dinner.   i suggested that venue cos the ÁÖÀÎ jooin owner there let's sooni sit inside, n' 'twas a wet nite, u know?   i ate ¾îÅ«ÀÌ ¼öÁ¦ºñ uhlkeuni soojeibi n' some »õ¿ì ¹°¸¸µÎ saewoo moolmandoo.   it's nice to eat out w/ friends, but i also worry 'bout my budget.   u prob'ly don't know; but our church's startin' up a fundraisin' campaign'f sorts; so i'll soon be needing to contribute more $$$ to the church; so i wanna make sure i $ave up.   yah, we all know that the idea'f $$$ n' religion's a scary topik; but i'm not scared'f this cos our church is a good place n' definitely a good cause.   [later] neway, i've gotta watch my budget.   in that sense, it's good that we cancelled our dish netwerk service.   however, now i'm back to paying 4 dsl ($14.99/month), n' our current cellfon bill w/ all the added features's expen$ive.

[later] ¿ÀÈÄ ˆp°Ô: so during my lunchbrk, i dropped off my palm @ the korean ups store 4 delivery to the repair facility.   then, i went home to eat lunch n' do more laundry.   maybe i should've done a large load, but i couldn't figure out what more to wash in this 2nd load'f coloured stuff.   i ate some progresso lentil soup, 2 pieces'f toast w/ hummus, n' some trader joe's red grapes.   somehow, this "vegetarian diet" has caused the beautiful kaela hwang n' i to eat more packaged fud.   why?   *shrug* i feel like i've been eatin' more frozen fud n' canned fud lately.   maybe it's cos i'm eatin' out less?   well, in a way that's good.   i should cut back on how much $$$ i waste on eatin' out, rt?   *sigh* $$$ in, $$$ out; thruput.

i noticed that some'f my friends have split their blog.   4 example, tim has split off a martial arts blog from his main blog, which mostly talks 'bout politiks.   'nother example: jerin has split off his parental blog 'bout his son taisei from his main blog, which talks more 'bout just bein' a guy in this world 2day.   me? i prefer to keep my blog/journal as 1 dokument, only creatin' new editions 4 chronology, i.e. creatin' a new edition each yr.   also, u prob'ly know that i have a recent entries file n' an archived entries file.   this is mostly so i can keep 'least my recent entries on my palm pda; but i guess it helps all'f my readers load my page faster.   in the past couple'f yrs, i've been writin' 2 much; i know.   why do i write so much?   maybe there's just so much i want to tell "the world" or 'least the friends n' family that aktually read my journal.   i dunno who does.   well, aktually, i've now updated my gbook questions, so u should answer the new questions.   man! the ol' questions almost stayed on that page 4 a whole yr!   did i ever answer the ol' questions?   i'll hafta search my archives to figure that out.   [later] Àú³á ÀÌÁö¸¸ ¾ÆÁ÷µµ Á÷Àå¿¡¼­: i really don't think i answered my last set'f questions, so maybe u'll get a 2× / double dose'f beno's answerin' his own gbook questions.

icer air 2k6

¿ù¿äÀÏ ¾ÆÄ§: the big event this past wknd, here in the sf bay area, was icer air 2k6.   was it officially abbreviated as "2k6," or was that just sumpthin' my cousin walter came up w/? *shrug* in either case, yah, that was prob'ly the biggest thing this past wknd.   this wk, 1'f the biggest things'll be the "midterm" or "mid.term" elektion(s) n' the bay area snow show.   i got to hang w/ eric (johnson) n' clarence on sat, n' i expekt to c'em 'gain (along w/ my cousin walter n' maybe kaz?) this coming wknd @ the snow expo / trade show.

[a li'l later] yesterday, b4 going to church (2nd service [1100a] @ questions; so i'd like u to sign the new
