uncle joe

you gotta check it... uncle joe is an incredible hk indie band... great music, and a great group of guys.

weatherpeoples (in my pc efforts)... confusing...

HO made me write this..... i've never understood hk's typhoon rating system. i mean - why choose a 1,3,8,9,10 scale? what happened to 2,4,5,6,7? i've actually never seen a 9 or 10 come up. but right now, we are at a 1, with typhoon imbudo coming from the fils. then you have the yellow, red and black rainstorm warnings, scaling bad, badder (shaddup), baddest... i mean.. how racist is that? being that this was prolly devised by some anglo-saxon white supremist - i'm not surprised. the implications are clear: yellow=bad=asians are the least bad of the non-caucasion lot; red=badder (shaddup)=indians (of the native american variety) are slightly badder in that they just drink and gamble (according to the caucastion american propaganda); and black=baddest=isn't it obvious?????? why isn't there a white rainstorm warning???? i smell an opportunity for a spike lee movie here....

tongue me

this guy in america just got a tongue transplant. the wonders of medical science... i'm very impressed...

growth...

i'm challenged to really start to grow in my capabilites and potential. what exactly that means i don't know. i just feel it. it's kinda like that feeling you get when your opponent hits you a short ball, just at the service line, and you charge, already planning your shot - short angle cross-court, deep down the line, hard drive straight down the middle to eliminate angled return, drop shot.... it's that kind of rush. another analogy could be kobe bryant - you know... seeing that fresh high school grad - he's in colorado, wife's back in cali; he's rehabilitating after knee surgery, and wife not there to comfort him; he's big bad basketball player, why should he be held back by such things as morality or decency... ok - well - that's judgemental, but still - it's just a confirmation that even the best of characters will come up strongly against temptation, where the godless are likely to fail, but at the same time, the godly are not necessarily immune...

working in any capacity is a good thing. i've recently been led to do more than just be an example through work or deeds. going to church, volunteering my time to help out w/180, going to plus group/bible study, attending church functions like alpha, fellowship w/the peeps, making that effort to get more involved... that's all fine and dandy. but that doesn't define holiness. james talks about faith vs. deeds. that would be one thing that separates us from say the catholics or muslims, or any other religion. many people will go to church, do 'good deeds', more so that they can feel good about themselves - like the weekly cleansing ritual... then on the off-days - they be free to do watever they wish. god knows hearts, and therefore motives. there's no hiding from that. that's why i've been re-thinking what it is i want to accomplish through my association with church (a church, the church, )... again - i have no idea what it really means yet, but i just know that something great is in store for those that want to ride god's wave.

it's kinda cool cause this has taken me outta my recent funk... so easy to be critical about everything - and judging by my past posts - i been venting A LOT! well - must-try-to-reeesist! hehehe i love jabbing at peoples, especially the hk govt/peoples. oof - it's gonna get me in trouble someday.

yeah... stevie... just remember kobe.... remember kobe....
