Tippity-Tappity-Type

As my fingers cruise over the keys of the nc6400, all that you can hear are the tap dancing fingers around the room. The office has been converted into a dance studio of a few hundred people that all dance to a different beat. No one dance is the same one. Once in a while, the dancer decides to leap from the pad and over to the rodent where the dance is a solo work of art of shifts, scrolls and clicks.

I look over to my right and discover that the dance has somehow stopped there. The show has ended and the dancers have left the stage. The clock has struck 5 and one by one, the dancers file out.

I am left here to continue to dance. I feel that I want to continue dancing.......maybe to a different beat. A dance that has been continuing every day for the past days. A dance that will not stop till the pain goes away.

Today is brought to you by the letter V

Voluptiously Venting Vastly Varies....ok...I give up......geeeeze....

Well, today is the 2nd day of commercialism that is aimed towards all the pairs out there in the world. Truthfully, couldn't everyday be Valentine's? Wait...but then I'd go broke easily...or my significant other would just find me boring with no new ideas.........hmmm...so on second thought.........February 14th.....once a year seems good to me......

At the end of the day I'm another day older.....

We are nearing the end of the earthquake. Pieces are slowly going back into place and our shamble of sand will be replaced with a beautiful castle on the beach. At least that's what I'm thinking. It's been a very long journey and a long battle but I believe the war is not over and there is still a long looooooong tunnel to travel. The casualties have been noted and I'm still waiting for a phoenix to rise from the ashes.

So in the past two weeks, I've been going to the local University's concerts. There was a Violin Concerto, and tonight I went to a Piano soloist. Most of the pieces played were new age....modern pieces. It was not my cup of tea. I was very impressed with how agile the player's fingers were. They danced across the keyboard, and at times it was as if he was releasing all his anger and rage onto the poor keyboard. I do believe that he did an excellent job, but I'm not too sure I appreciate the score selection. There was one set of "studies", they were the American Prelude. The preludes had titles such as: Sadness, Tribute to Aaron Copeland, Tribute to....I forget. Very very interesting 3-5 minute preludes. His final selection was called Flaming...something......and I could see the fire coming from his hands and also the grand piano was dancing too...it was like watching the piano tuned up like one of those cars in a MTV I've seen. **Bouncy Bouncy**

Tomorrow will be a full day of training......I wonder if I'll be awake enough for it.

1-and-2-and-3-and-4-and......

So for today, in my lack of sleep state, I was able to go through a good 7.5 hours of SJA training. By the end of the period, I believe my mind was already in a mush state. I think I went into autopilot when I was asked to perform a series of "case scenarios". I went so badly into autopilot that I was actually physically doing a certain action, but my mind wasn't there at all to really do any controlling. I was in the state like in the morning when I get to work...I ofter think...did I lock the car door? I have no recollection of doing it, and I just feel so lost. Exactly the same thing happened to me when I was doing the case. I went to a point where the officer told me that I fell into his trap. I snapped out of my daze and all I could do was think..."What was I doing? Where am I??!?!?! What the F....?!" Ok, I was litterally thinking all of the way from the training facility to the station....what in the world was I doing....what was the case...what did I do wrong.......?.....damn I hate that feeling.

So I'm going to try to catch some shuteye tonight. Tomorrow is a new week..............and there was much rejoicing......

Zug Zug......

Yes...this is a REALLY early blog. I've been rolling in bed for the past 2 hours. There's just a lot of things I've been thinking of lately. Maybe due to the lack of sleep, I've been much less tolerable to annoyances and my brain also doesn't want to shut down.

I've been having lots of dreams lately, I don't remember a single one of them, but I know I had dreams. This is a sign that I'm not really sleeping, my brain is still quite active.

What does one do to calm down? I used to think that sitting down with a good book will do the job. Sometimes a bit of physical exersion can also do the trick.

My body really feels tired and wants to rest, but my brain isn't letting my body do that. I'm at the point where I think I might start hallucinating. WhuWasZat?...........

Urrrr?......Zug Zug.........wutchuwantmetodo?..........wutchuwantmetokeel?..........MRLLLLLLLLlllllllLLLLlllllll

The Hunt for Lost Domain

For the past 2 weeks, I've been going on a wild goose chase on the net to findout where my domain has gone. The original domain was regitered with company SUX (won't give the real one for reasons....). So SUX went bankrupt last year but just told us that our questions will be answered but another domain SUXOR. I've emailed SUXOR and they told me they actually are just a reseller and they've sold our account to SUXSUX. SUXSUX told me that they sold it to SUXMUCH. ........

So after a long chase, I finally asked my web guru friend Winnie "Who's the main owner? How can I find out?" She gave me the WHOIS link and I quickly pulled up a lot of valuable information.

I know how much I hate going on a tangent here but I really need to say this......OMFG!!!! I was able to pull up the original owner of the domain, the admin, tech, anyone that was linked to this domain. I know where that person lives, their phone number, their email.....and this was just typing in my domain at WHOIS. Isn't there some kind of privacy act that prevents this from happening? Or is there some bill C666 that says "all domain hosts and admins will have their private life broadcasted online."

Well, back to the chase. Finally I found from WHOIS that the base holder of my domain is TooKaus (company also masked for personal reasons....but you can guess it.....really you can...). So I emailed them to ask......who is one I need to contact to straighten things up with my domain. Alright, this is where I got a little pissed. I didn't get a response saying "Thank you for your hate mail, we'll have someone look into it and respond to you in the next decade." I just got dead air for a week and a bit. Finally I got a response today, I was all giddy and excited. They told me exactly who runs my domain. Now I can finally rest a bit waiting for my next email about how I should transfer my domain to another provider.........

I'm first on the list

Wow, this is very facinating. Maybe this is something to do with Google's searching ability. I think I'm the first on the list when I look for my name in Google. This makes it finding my blog pretty easy. Only problem is then........everyone know's who this is....dangit...ha ha ha.

Well, this is a bad turn of events then. I think I'm going to have to be careful what I post up here.....afterall...this IS the Internet. But who'd be interested in little 'ol me....

Tagged again?....WHU?

Alright, I just got tagged again with another list...I'll see what I'll do with this one.

Rules of the Game:
1. The tagged victim must come up with 10 different points of their perfect bf/gf.
2. Need to mention gender of target.
3. Tag 8 victims to join this game & leave a comment saying they've been tagged.
4. If tagged again, there's no need to post a 2nd time.

1. Taboo question....very dangerous to blog about
2. Target = female
3. again........tag usually ends with me.....so.......oh well
4. .....no response.

So there you have it, I'm IT and forever IT as it is.

Ok, just a bit more of my childhood here.
So back in grade 5, I used to have this wonderful APPLE IIe...yeah baby..those things ran off of floppies. So there were 3 games that I loved on there and (maybe someone will make a remake of these).
1) Number Munchers - you could choose from different menus: Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide. Then there is a 4 by 4 grid of numbers and a topic on the top. You have to munch the numbers that correspond to the topic (i.e. all multiples of 3). I was the master at this.........
2) Oregon Trail - yes, I believe many people have played this before. You start with a family (Mom, Dad, 3 children). You are moving from a location to the next. You only have a limited amount of resources, so you have to buy ammo to hunt, or buy food, or fix your wagon. I think I usually end up drowning at the river most of the time...or at least I lose most of the family.
3) Some Fish Game - You start off as a really really small fish and you eat and eat and soon you become a huge fish. Yes....quite simple that way, just need to remember that birds and humans are out to catch you.
So these started me off into my little world of computer gaming. From that time on, I've moved onto more graphically oriented games......like World of Warcraft!!!!! Tis burning.....tis BURNING!!!!!

Me Me.....wait...I'm not part of that club....

I guess that since I'm inhaling my lunch right now, I should try to blog...or reblog..for the......50 billioth time. I have these waves of blogs..then stop...then blogs then halt........
Well, this is my wave of blogs that I'm starting again.

Considering in the blog world, Monday may be considered "Me Me Monday", I guess I'll blog a bit of something about me.

As some people know, I'm not really a banana......as people may call "us"....aka Yellow out, White inside.

So this happened to me in grade 6. I remember my teacher Ms. O'Leary, she was our homeroom teacher. There was one lunch break when I was eating lunch with my friends Brian and Justin when Brian threw some joking comment at me and I just sat there and smiled because there was no point in retaliating. I just continued to eat my lunch. Ms. O'Leary caught wind of it and decided that she would speak up against that comment. So Ms. O'Leary walked over and said "Should you stand up for yourself?" So me being a very VERY sarcastic person, I just stood up and said, "Ok, I've stood up." and continued to smile. Alright, that was a BAHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhd move on my part. The next thing I knew, right after lunch, Ms. O'Leary said that I should see some teacher. So I took my books and walked over to the other teacher's place (her name escapes my mind).

Anyhow, the teacher (let's just call her Ms. Perry for now) sat me down and said "Ms. O'Leary says that you may have some trouble with grasping the English langauge." My looks betrayed me and I must've gave her the "WTF? huh?" look. So she quickly said "Just for the sake of Ms O'Leary, I have some questions for you." So on she went with metaphors, simalies, yadda yadda. We spent the whole afternoon dealing with "What is a green-thumb? What is the meaning of "standing up for yourself"? What is a noun?" yes, it was a bit humiliating I thought. After I got all of those "correct" as it seems, Ms. Perry finally asked me, "So why did you just stand up?" I told her "I was being playful and sarcastic." So she just laughed and sent me on my way back to class.

After that little experience, it seems that I was good enough to "help" the ESL teacher. I became a transaltor for Ms. Perry for the remainder of the year.

Wow, this brings back a lot of memories...........wish I was still a kid.....

Blog Tag, I'm IT....for now....

Alright, so my good friend Winnie has tagged me and I think I should just play along with the game here. I'm supposed to write 5 things about myself (supposedly that people don't know) and then pass it along and tag 5 other people. I have a feeling some people may have been tagged already..but I can still tag them again...and again...and again.....you get my drift.
Without further adieu......that's correct spelling right?.....hmmm.....

1) Although born and raised in Canada, my natural language is not English it is actually Cantonese.
2) I had to go to ESL for 2 years (because the teacher believed my control of the English language was not good enough) (I think I'll blog about this some day)
3) I think my tearducts malfunction.....I tend to cry much easier than most males.....I think......damn..Bamby's mother.....di....di....die....died......WAHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
4) Hukt on Fonix did not work for me, I have trouble saying things phonetically...hence my spelling isn't the best either....
5) Some people in Elementary school thought that I was from Hong Kong and still does not know that I'm born in Canada.

All right, it's time for me to bounce these over to. Unfortunatly, I don't really read a lot of other people's blogs, so I guess........tag kinda ends here. Sorry Winnie....I'm a dud here. But thanks, I can maybe start blogging again....maybe...just maybe.......
