summer

Summer needs to end now. Please?

I find it quite sad that I want autumn to begin. Something about just a state of stagnancy and the hot weather. Let's get things going.

drug free?

Lately, I've been thinking about this particular subject. I suppose it's because July is the month of the Tour de France and my dad watches it everyday, and I feel obliged to watch it as well for some bonding time. I find it absolutely insane for a person to willingly submit to participating in that bike race. It's like running a marathon everyday for a month, with two rest days. To top it off, the salary never is equal to that of a star NBA player. So, I never really quite understood. I took it to mean the love of the sport. However, with years of controversy surrounding doping, I'm starting to become very suspicious of professional cycling. Last year's winner, Floyd Landis has allegations surrounding performance enhancing drugs, and the result as to whether or not he will keep the title is pending. Lance Armstrong's 1999 victory is still being suspected because of drug use. It's quite sad, really to hear these things, and despite the recent measures to prevent doping, it most likely is still continuing. How can a man crash very hard one day and within 24 hours is practically tearing up the field and winning the stage? I find it quite strange, no? I will try and keep optimistic this year, though. I just can't subject myself to cheering on one man and then weeks later discover he's cheated. Then again, the use of performance enhancing drugs is not exclusive to cycling- it's everywhere. Whatever happened to the days when athletes were so celebrated and skilled by their own talents and efforts, not because of the amount of drugs pumping in their bodies?

Oh All the Drama!

LOL. Not real-life drama!!! No wayyyy. I've realized I don't wanna get involved with people like that anymore. Just unnecessary baggage, no? I feel like an absolute geek lately!!! I've been catching up on all the anime I haven't watched in a long time, and I'm watching Taiwanese dramas again!!!! *sigh* I really do miss those days when I would get all excited when I would watch Meteor Garden and squee when SanCai and DaoMingSi were getting all cheesy and romantic. Poor Lei! Then again, he was my favorite. And now that I'm out of school and needing something to occupy myself for a while, I decided to rewatch that drama. Excellent stuff. But I've lately gotten into a new drama, Silence, which gets me just as emotional, if not more. The theme song gets me all sad when I listen to it, but it's such a great song. I find myself in the middle of the drama, and I really don't know what I will do with myself when I watch the last episode! I am such a cheeseball! LOL

Maybe it's Anime Expo. Maybe it's the fact I went to an abandoned insane asylum just for kicks. Who knows, but the fact of the matter is, I'm obsessed with Death Note. It's ridiculously morbid sometimes, and sometimes I don't necessarily like where the story is going, but wow so addicting. It's not necessarily a drama, but I think it has to do with my love for mystery, detective work, and suspense. I do love CSI. So something like this is very appealing to me. I'm still at episode 28, but a part of me doesn't want to finish it... because I don't know what anime I will watch anymore! It's been such a long time since I've been an avid watcher... has it really been that long since I was watching Rurouni Kenshin around 2001?! Wow.

Below is the video to one of my absolutely favorite songs. Completely unrelated, but I've recently added it to my music playlist. I never really thought about it very much for a while, considering as it was Pam and Ricardo's theme in high school. But after cruising around one day, it came up on the iPod, and I fell in love all over again. I know, it's a ridiculously old song, but it's still excellent nonetheless. This live version absolutely gets me every time. Bono's face is filled with emotion the entire time he sings this. It's just amazing. Not to mention, I love the extra verse at the end. So uplifting.... Plus, now that I'm watching Friends again, I can't help but think, "it's Ross and Rachel's song!."

The end is near!!!!!

No... I am not trying to promote the apocalypse and repenting and all of that. LOL But just a few minutes ago, it really started to sink in that Harry Potter is ending... It saddens me because this is the Fantasy series that is part of my generation, the one I took part in, and it's eventually coming to a close. Sometimes I wonder what it must have been like if I had been alive when CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien were alive and The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia were being released.... Amazing I bet. (And to be honest, I sorta like those more...) So I want to savor the moment, and remember I took part in something huge.

In regards to the last entry, I was angry, emo and probably getting a new batch of hormones. I plan to not be that angry, really. I just wish people weren't on my case about it all the time. It would make things a lot easier for me, as to not get down about things. GEEZ. THANKS.

By the one, this is one of the absolutely best Harry Potter cosplayers I have ever seen. I honestly think this guy looks more like Harry Potter than Daniel Radcliffe. Seriously. <3>
