1.News of the day That's why (you go away) Prince William and Kate Middleton, the oh-so-perfect royal couple, finally break up before marriage(...)
Nothing to say, but the Queen is "feeling for them both"
Their Easter weekend sucked I guess...but hey, what do you expect? He is still too young...he may be trying to find his "soulmate", which was probably the close lady friend 2nd Lt Joanna Dyer he met back in Sandhurst...and she passed away in Iraq recently...
2.Quote of the day "The timing was wrong...five years too early."
Its still not anywhere close to reality yet, but you never know...we are really feeling the heat from global warming now and we better find some other ways to get our energy from less polluted sources... 4.Video of the day Jon Stewart on his TV program being banned on youtube via youtube... Watching Jon Stewart and his "SERIOUS CORRESPONDENT" on youtube about lawsuit against youtube from via com when viewing from youtube?
OR
...Basically we are talking whether it is illegal to watch me discussing about the legality of you watching me on the daily show if you're watching it on youtube...maybe I am on youtube right now? ... you watching on youtube? 37% 95%.... Check it out I am buffering!
HAHAHAHA Do you know WTF I am talking about? No? Well read this and then watch THIS!
The following MAYBE removed from youtube as per the video suggested...or not since they make some changes on the video hahaha!
This quote came from a retired Chinese marathon athlete's blog. She is selling her collection of medals...
Only in China? I don't know. Its just said that she has to sell the medals in order to survive. I thought the government would take care of those retired professional athletes, even if they are not of the TOP tier group. But hey, China is running on capitalism so screw welfare!
Anyway, if you are interested and want to get a piece of a glorious past, please send mail to aidonmei123@sina.com.
2.Quote of the day "I know the pain war causes. I understand the frustration caused by our mistakes in this war. I sympathize with the fatigue of the American people. And I regret sincerely the additional sacrifices imposed on the brave Americans who defend us. But I also know the toll a lost war takes on an army and a country...This is an historic choice, with ramifications for Americans not even born yet. Let's put aside for a moment the small politics of the day. The judgment of history should be the approval we seek, not the temporary favor of the latest public opinion poll."
-Senator John McCain, April 11, 2007, on Iraq
3.Article of the day John McCain Speech on Iraq, April 11, 2007 I totally respect this guy. I may not agree with some of his political agenda, but I do respect his personal integrity and grace under extreme hardship.
What hardship you say? How about Hanoi Hilton back in the Vietnam war...and yes, he is older than G. W. Bush if he got elected...so what!
If you want to know more about him, get the wikipedia entry for a quick one.
Oh and in the speech, theres ONE TOUGH guy:
"In closing, I'd like to bring to your attention the gallantry and patriotism of one American who served with distinction in Iraq, a Navy SEAL, who refuses to quit his mission and let the country he loves so well suffer the terrible harm our defeat would entail. A few days ago, Petty Officer First Class Mark Robbins' unit was ambushed outside Baghdad. During the ensuing firefight, he spotted an insurgent with an RPG, and immediately stepped out from cover and exposed himself to enemy fire to take out the terrorist before he could fire. He saved the lives of his comrades, but was gravely wounded as he did so. He was shot in the eye by another insurgent with an AK-47. The bullet exited the back of his head about three inches behind his ear. He was initially knocked unconscious but came to, continued to fight and then, despite the severity of his wound, walked to the evacuation helicopter. He was eventually taken to Landstuhl military hospital in Germany. As is the custom of Navy SEALs, he was accompanied by one of his comrades, Petty Officer Second class McLean Swink."
Guess the interviewer's race? What country? You will be surprised. This is basically a white trash I can say. And he sucks at the art of interview.
Stephen kept his cool, and waited to strike...after tricking that ignorant guy to punch "slower"...
I can imagine if that's Bruce Lee being interviewed and have this situation came up. He will probably just kick the shit out of these people.
But Stephen, shown with great restraint even when you can see his pain during the interview(torture), was humorous throughout the interview, especially with that "chicken" style remark. Watch it. Part 1 is in youtube as well...and he got a jab at that guy after he mock Stephen's language (4:50).

1.News of the day 100,000 Jackie Chan...wannabe! I think we should have a reality show for the President of the United States of the America...oh wait, we got one for Canada already!
Seriously though, I think out of the 1.3 Billion Chinese people in China, there must be someone who can take the task and be the next great Jackie Chan...
I hope the man chosen to be from Hong Kong...but there will never be another Bruce Lee.
Never!
2.Quote of the day "It was a strange feeling, that people were actually, ah . . . ignoring me.""
-Joshua Bell, world renowned violinist, regarding to his experience in the Washington Metro
3.Article of the day Joshua Bell and the Washington Metro Joshua Bell, one of the best virtuoso violinist in the world. Playing fiddler in Washington's metro. What will happen?
Wanna see how much he can get from the "begging"? Read it. Provided with GREAT music clip as well...
"There was no ethnic or demographic pattern to distinguish the people who stayed to watch Bell, or the ones who gave money, from that vast majority who hurried on past, unheeding. Whites, blacks and Asians, young and old, men and women, were represented in all three groups. But the behavior of one demographic remained absolutely consistent. Every single time a child walked past, he or she tried to stop and watch. And every single time, a parent scooted the kid away."
1.News of the day I believe I can FLYYYYY! Two retired American dreaming big. And they are working on it.
They may be too old to drive, but they are not too old to fly.
I will be scared shitless when I see them flying all over my flycar 3000...
2.Quote of the day "The guy who lives down in Waco and needs to be in McKinney for a business meeting could drive to the airport, pop the wings and fly in, missing the congestion in Dallas altogether."
-Dr. Porte, 72, retired Texas Instruments research scientist, team member of GT Flyer
Check out what they say about Hong Kong in 100 years.
And Canada, O Canada. You will be so rich.
Basically the article talks about the effect of economic changes induced by global climate changes.Huge sums will be made and lost if the global climate changes. Everyone wonders what warming might do to the environment—but those around the pole (N/S) may be winning, while those along the equator are screwed. Royally.
And Russia and Canada will win. Big time. In Mother Russia, Global warming drives you!
Bush sucks at world politics, but he is a good joker...read the full text here.
Bush gets even lower rating than last year, and this year, there ain't no Stephen Colbert to rip him a new one...oh wait, do you know who is Stephen Colbert?
Watch this, and RESPECT for insulting the POTUS (President of the United States), the most powerful man in the world.
