This is the actual radio conversation of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995. Radio conversation released by the chief of naval operations, 10-10-95.

CANADIANS: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.

AMERICANS: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the north to avoid a collision.

CANADIANS: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.

AMERICANS: This is the captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

CANADIANS: No, I say again, you divert YOUR course.

AMERICANS: This is the Aircraft Carrier US LINCOLN, the second largest ship in the United States Atlantic Fleet. We are accompanied with three Destroyers, three Cruisers and numerous support vessels. I DEMAND that you change your course 15 degrees north. I say again, that's one-five degrees north, or counter-measures will be undertaken to ensure the safety of this ship.

CANADIANS: This is a lighthouse. Your call.

蔡幸娟 《问情》

山川载不动太多悲哀，
岁月经不起太长的等待，
春花最爱向风中摇摆，
黄沙偏要将痴和怨掩埋。

一世的聪明情愿糊涂，
一生的遭遇向谁诉！

爱到不能爱，
聚到终须散，
繁华过后成一梦啊！
海水永不干，
天也望不穿，
红尘一笑和你共徘徊！

brings back some good memories =)

cold war #2 under way?


"In Sao Paulo (Brazil), Chinese language classes are packed. Not only are students taught how to speak Mandarin, but they are also guided in cultural habits such as attending banquets and singing Chinese folk songs."

"If you were to colour a map of anti-Americanism in Latin America, for nearly 50 years Fidel Castro's Cuba has been the deepest red. Three of the most economically developed countries - Brazil, Chile and Argentina - are now in varying shades of left-of-centre pink."

"The night before her election victory over Mr Ortega I was invited to dinner at the walled compound of Mrs Chamorro's house in Managua. She told me that Washington politicians could always find money for wars in Latin America - but rarely for peace in Latin America.
She said even a slice of the money used to back the anti-communist Contra guerrillas could build a new Nicaragua - but she predicted that if she won the election Washington would declare victory - and then cut off the money supply. She was right."

"Now in this new century things are changing, and the potential is being realised. With the exception of Cuba and Haiti, democracy has flourished, almost everywhere.
Latin American voters have thrown out their governments and - often - given a two-fingered salute to Washington. That is their prerogative."

"There already are [Chinese] military exchanges and hardware being sold - or given to Latin American countries. You can rest assured the US is going to do everything it can to make sure this hemisphere is safe."

" Virtually anyone paying attention to events in Venezuela and Nicaragua in the north to Peru and Bolivia further south, plus in different ways Mexico, Argentina and Brazil, comes to the same conclusion: there is a wave of profound anti-American feeling stretching from the Texas border to the Antarctic."

"And almost everyone believes it will get worse."

commie power ftw!

i can see a little bit of myself in it.

actually, more than i would like to see.

another reason to fight off the incessant urge to reinstall the fucking game.

but in reality, WoW isn't the problem...

i am.

but quitting WoW is a step toward the right direction.

with my health at risk, gpa already in the shithole, and friends/family neglected, it's a good time to start a healthy lifestyle today.

$180 squandered...

92 days played...

92 fucking days, that's

1/4 of a year
3+ months
2208+ hours
132480+ minutes
7948800+ seconds

......

and one huge fucking waste of my life.
