May 29 I gotta cry sometimes but it's all rightKate Earl Cry Sometimes LyricsMy baby, he says he loves me
My baby, he says he needs me so Covers me with sunshine, tucks me in with songs Every now and then, troubles come my way Asks me what to do and to him, I simply say I gotta cry sometimes but it's all right I gotta cry sometimes but it's all right I gotta cry sometimes but it's all right My baby brings me flowers Takes me out to see the shows He don't need complainin', I couldn't ask for more Every now and then, troubles come my way Asks me what to do and to him, I simply say I gotta cry sometimes but it's all right I gotta cry sometimes but it's all right I gotta cry sometimes but it's all right Now I'd like to thank you for everything you do Whenever I'm around you, you turn my gray skies blue And if the world should crumble, it's all right I gotta cry sometimes but it's all right I gotta cry sometimes, it's all right Very tired, but feel happy. Went to San Francisco two days in a row. Chinatown, Japantown, Pier 39, telegraph hill and the Grace Cathedral. Dont have much time. Anyway, i will go to Fisherman Wharf, Gloden Gate Bridge and Golden Gate Park next week. Visitors' guide says SF is the most European City in USA. I haven't been to Europe and many other cities in USA either, but i do like this city. When you walk up a hilly street and look back, you see the city under you foot. That feeling reminds me many "memories" about SF, of course, all from books.Now i am here and I am right in the memories.
Chinatown is big and still kinda dirty. Where in the center of Chinatown there is a park, you see many people in threes to fives playing chinese chess or cards. not a few but many many, i've never seen things like this before in USA, but that's Chinatown, so everything is supposed to be China-ish. I didn't spend a penny in the Chinatown.
Japantown is small and relatively cleaner, it's called Japan center, but nothing fancy in there. I went to a couple of bookstore there, and realized it has cultural root why they are so-and-so. You see very few serious works in the book store, most are sexy megazines and all kinds of xiao-ren-shu (sorry for the phrasing, i dont know how to call those kinds of book series). I actually wanted to have a lunch in the japantown, but i found that's beyond my budget. Pretty expensive, for a full course lunch, most at the range of 30-50. and for those cheaper specials, i doubt i can be full with that little "cat-food".
There are tens of sea lions, lovely sea lions at Pier 39. First time to see so many sea lions together, sleeping, swiming, fighting. Very lovely, i gotta see them again before i leave. Telegraph hill is claimed to be one of the best vantage points to give an overlook of SF and it indeed is. It is beautiful, you see Oakland, SF, bay bridge and golden gate bridge. Only pity-i dont have a campera at the time.
Actually i hadn't planned to go to the Grace Cathedral but just came across by chance. I was shocked, really shocked. I have been to some other churches but never got the same feeling/psychological experience as in the Grace Cathedral. Never thought about it before, i am definitely not religious people, but maybe there's something true in life which i have ignored for so long and there's something wrong in my minds that i have rejected to admit for unknown reasons? I really dont know. May 27 Endless Love

It's been a long time coming,
As you shed a lonesome tear. And now you're in a wonderama, I wonder what you're doin' here. The flame no longer flickers, You're feeling just like a fool. You keep starin' into your liquor, Wonderin' what to do. I don't hardly know you, But I'd be willin' to show you, A way to make you smile! Let me touch you for awhile. I'm gonna ruin my black mascara. You're drinkin whiskey when it should be wine. You keep a-lookin' into that mirror. But to me you're lookin' really fine. I don't hardly know you, But I'd be willin' to show you, I know a way to make you, Laugh at that cowgirl as she's walkin' out your door. I know a way to make you smile. Just let me whisper things, You've never heard before. Just let me touch you, baby. Just let me touch you for awhile. I don't hardly know you, But I'd be willin' to show you, I know a way to make you smile. It's been a long time, Let me touch you for awhile. It's still raining. no sign of a clear sky. Bought packed dumplings and instant noodles and ready to live with them for the first few days. Sufing the internet and came across a wonderful album by Alison Krauss. What makes it more valuable is that it is live version and still up to high standards. Will select a couple to share.
I remember sometime before, i was told that Berkeley is a place that's very "active" and such such. This morning, i walked up to the Berkeley campus again, and suddenly, i realized an urgent need to discharge something. I got into the Asian Study building. It didn't take me long time to find the right place. and then right there when i was enjoying the "pleasant experience",i saw a lot of interesting works on the wall and i sort of realized that story about berkeley might be true in some sense (maybe not, actually, this sort of thing happens all the time everywhere). There is this one guy, writing down" Can you tell that it is women writing?", with the ending part arrowing to sign of two lips and "others"; Another guy using very large characters made up a word right in the middle of the door which says "Beeyatch"; at the right corner with a quoted question" would you like a blow job here?" and such such. There is nothing new about these sort of garbage works, but why these happens only in that place? I have similar memories back in China, at RPI and now Berkeley...
Maybe somebody should look at this phenomenon some day or there's study on that already? hoho. Crazy LoveCrazy Love
I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles
And the heavens open every time she smiles And when I come to her thats where I belong Yet Im running to her like a rivers song Chorus: She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love Shes got a fine sense of humor when Im feeling low down And when I come to her when the sun goes down Take away my trouble, take away my grief Take away my heartache, in the night like a thief Chorus: Yes I need her in the daytime Yes I need her in the night Yes I want to throw my arms around her Kiss her hug her kiss her hug her tight And when Im returning from so far away She gives me some sweet lovin brighten up my day Yes it makes me righteous, yes it makes me feel whole Yes it makes me mellow down in to my soul Today: I missed the commencement at RPI, but caught the Berkeley one. I took a half day trip to the campus, much bigger than RPI and hilly and beautiful too. There are quite some small business on campus. There is one street called Telegraph avenue, where you will see many different kinds of restaurants, mexican, chinese, japenese, korean, italian, etc,etc; bookstores, coffee shops, gift shops. you can also see the retailing stands on the side walks. Very lovely street with much life involved, reminding me of the Greenwitch village in NYC. For the afternoon, i just sat in the Barnes & Noble, reading some introductory stuff for the internship. Plan to go to the chinatown and buy some groceries tomorrow. One more thing, there are many beggars here, i'm guessing it may be because there are more business and life here?
May 20 TemptationTemptation
DIANA KRALL
Rusted brandy in a diamond glass Everything is made from dreams Time is made from honey slow and sweet Only the fools know what it means Temptation, temptation, temptation Oh, temptation, temptation, I can't resist Well I know that she is made of smoke But I've lost my way He knows that I am broke But I must play Temptation, oh temptation, temptation, I can't resist Dutch pink and Italian blue He is there waiting for you My will has disappeared Now confusion is so clear Temptation, temptation, temptation I can't resist Temptation, temptation, temptation I can't resist The flight was OK. Got Berkeley this early afternoon. Took the key and then ran into the nearest chinese restaurant. Had a haricut in the Chinatown. Bart is actually very convenient. It was raining all the afternoon, not heavy but non-stop. So my first day here does not comply with my many-times-told "Sunny California".
The place where i will be working is just blocks away, realizing i dont need a bike actually, I would like to have one thou caming across a cheap deal. There are a whole lot of restaurants nearby, which all look good. But i'm too poor to eat out frequently. gonna figure out how to arrange meals. The ultimate solution is nothing but instant noodles which i hate so much.
The remaining two roommates are both young unders; one's of korean origin and the other one should be american. Both guys are very hospitable. Two more people were looking at the other vacant double room in early evening. The negotiation went on quite smoothly and they decide to move in immediately tonight (i was so tired after the flight, shopping, and ,back and forth chinatown, but can not sleep until they settle down tonight, also i want to give a hand)
Hope you guys.gals have fun back in troy, BBQ and Commencement. May 18 Black is the color of my true love's hairBlack is the color of my true love's hair
Black is the color of my true love's hair
Her lips are like some roses fair She has the sweetest smile the gentlest hands And I love the ground whereon she stands I love my love, and well she knows I love the ground whereon she goes I wish the day soon would come When she and I will be as one And black is the color of my true love's hair Her lips are like some roses fair She has the sweetest smile the gentlest hands And I love the ground whereon she stands I go to the Clyde and mourn and weep But satisfied I never shall be I'll write her a letter with a few short lines and suffer death a thousand times And black is the color of my true love's hair Her lips are like some roses fair She has the sweetest smile the gentlest hands And I love the ground whereon she stands I love the ground whereon she stands I love the ground whereon she stands There are so many versions of this song. I have two currently and love this better. Simple, clear and beautiful.

May 14 If Loving You Is Wrong有人已经抱怨说,不愿读英文. 我想大概是不想读烂英文. 丛了. 收敛一点.
计划中的钓鱼,因为下雨泡汤了. 其实也挺好. 在家, 看看书, 听听音乐. 刚下了一个轻爵士的集子. 非常耐听.今天先上传一首.
KAI的TULIP很好看, 赏心悦目, 谢了. 努力啊, 期待更好的作品. 有时间分享一下经验吧. 想学. 不过最近是不成了.
下午, 朋友说起感情的困惑. 说起来, 总要比做简单. 我想如果是我, 也会一团糟吧. 非要说, 只一句. 收拾行囊, 再上路吧. 还记的她将的一句话:ARE PEOPLE SO DEDICATED TO A SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP AS THEY WERE IN YOUNG AGE, WHEN THEY GET OLDER?
SOMETIMES, I THINK ABOUT THAT TOO.
TRYING TO UPDATE THE MUSIC ON MY SPACE ON DAILY FREQUENCY. STAY TUNE IF YOU WANT GOOD MUSIC.
THE LYRICS:
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right If being right means being without you I'd rather live a wrong doing life Your mama and daddy say it's a shame It's a downright disgrace Long as I got you by my side I don't care what your people say Your friends tell you there's no future In loving a married man If I can't see you when I want to I'll see you when I can If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right Am I wrong to fall so deeply in love with you Knowing I got a wife and two little children Depending on me too And am I wrong to hunger for the gentleness of your touch knowing I got somebody else at home who needs me just as much And are you wrong to fall in love With a married man And am I wrong trying to hold on To the best thing I ever had If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right Are you wrong to give your love To a married man And am I wrong trying to hold on To the best thing I ever had If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right I don't wanna be right If it means sleeping alone at night I don't wanna be right If it means coming home at night I don't wanna, I don't wanna I don't wanna never, never, never be right May 12 Shawshank RedemptionIt's a move more than a decade ago. I feel regreted that i have missed this wonder movie for so long and at the same time, feel happy that it's not any longer. Just hours ago, one of my friend sent me a link for a movie script. Actually, he was just looking for a sentence (which i like too) spoken by Morgon Freeman in that movie. The script is pretty lengthy, i dont have the patience to read through. But, i did give a look at the beginning part which is pretty much like light pornography, kind of animal. You might want to read as well:
"1 INT -- CABIN -- NIGHT (1946) A dark, empty room. The door bursts open. A MAN and WOMAN enter, drunk and giggling, horny as hell. No sooner is the door shut than they're all over each other, ripping at clothes, pawing at flesh, mouths locked together. He gropes for a lamp, tries to turn it on, knocks it over instead. Hell with it. He's got more urgent things to do, like getting her blouse open and his hands on her breasts. She arches, moaning, fumbling with his fly. He slams her against the wall, ripping her skirt. We hear fabric tear. He enters her right then and there, roughly, up against the wall. She cries out, hitting her head against the wall but not caring, grinding against him, clawing his back, shivering with the sensations running through her. He carries her across the room with her legs wrapped around him. They fall onto the bed. CAMERA PULLS BACK, exiting through the window, traveling smoothly outside..." I say sorry if you dont like this....Joking aside, i do love that movie, so many memorable quotes.....Just two i remembered over here:
Tim Robbins said to Morgan Freeman when they sat against the wall in the prison yard, "You have to get busy living or get busy dying", i guess it's true in both terms.
Morgan Freeman said when Tim got out of that damn prison, "Some birds aren't meant to be caged, their feathers are just too bright". I dont know much about this. but i know cage-free eggs are more expensive than normal eggs on Pricechopper's frige shelf.
Seriously, i love the speech that Morgan Freeman talked to the bounch of people sitting on the other side of table reviewing his case...
"There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then, a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone and this old man is all that's left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bullshit word. So you go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a shit. "
Upload another piece of mv, for me, i love the dance more than the song...and the singer is pretty.
May 11 Northern PikeJust talked about the lovely Northern Pike we got last week, planning to go for more this sunday morning....
What i got from that morning when i was thinking in the morning rain, sitting in the armchair, waiting for the live bait on the way, staring at the still lines and praying for better luck? here you go...
1, It has very sharp teeth, but human teeth sharper...
2, Early birds get surprising deals...
3, Good beginning does not always end up with a perfect story (actually, that's everything we got that day)...
4, Hard to be satisfied with whatever you have for the time being (always want more and new, we have upgraded from sunnies, perches, basses, carps, bullheads, catfishes and then this year for seafish and ferocious species such as norther pike, tiger musky etc etc; furthermore, our facilities and baits also follow suit, fishing poles to net, worms to artificial bait and to live bait lately)
5, Ups and downs, having friends by your side is always good. Happiness doubled and pain halved...
6, Live memories can be reinforced by high-tech (want to see a pix of it?)...
7, That movie is fantastic, because i will quote "Life is just like a box of chocolates, you never know what you gonna get...", and i agree.
What's more? gonna figure out this Sunday...
How about a love song today? I know you've got to love it..
LARA FABIAN
Broken Vow Tell me her name I want to know The way she looks And where you go I need to see her face I need to understand Why you and I came to an end Tell me again I want to hear Who broke my faith in all these years Who lays with you at night When I'm here all alone Remembering when I was your own Chorus: I'll let you go I'll let you fly Why do I keep on asking why I'll let you go Now that I found A way to keep somehow More than a broken vow Tell me the words I never said Show me the tears you never shed Give me the touch That one you promised to be mine Or has it vanished for all time Repeat chorus I close my eyes And dream of you and I And then I realize There's more to life than only bitterness and lies I close my eyes I'd give away my soul To hold you once again And never let this promise end May 08 One last Breath If you have just one last breath, what you gonna do with it? reject to take the breath? Hold the breath? Last breath?!, no different than any other you took since you have the ability of breathing. Dont give a shit!, Just enjoy this song. I caught this piece last night, and fell in love with it immediately (so it's sort of love on first sight??hoho). This song belongs to the kind of songs that i love most. Haven't figured out how to describe. Thinking about writing something more up here, but going for free BBQ, It's FREE!!!!!, sorrys guys/gals, excuse me for a second, will be back soon.
"One Last Breath" Please come now I think I'm falling I'm holding to all I think is safe It seems I found the road to nowhere And I'm trying to escape I yelled back when I heard thunder But I'm down to one last breath And with it let me say Let me say Hold me now I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking That maybe six feet Ain't so far down I'm looking down now that it's over Reflecting on all of my mistakes I thought I found the road to somewhere Somewhere in His grace I cried out heaven save me But I'm down to one last breath And with it let me say Let me say Hold me now I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking That maybe six feet Ain't so far down Sad eyes follow me But I still believe there's something left for me So please come stay with me 'Cause I still believe there's something left for you and me For you and me For you and me Hold me now I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking |
