My Chinese Blog

I set up my Chinese Blog today. 
 
It now contains a recently written novel which depicts badminton stars like acient greek heroes. I am gonna write an entry about a on-line game cheater I just finished ----- including least squres linear regression, pattern recognition and simulation annealing algorithm applied in that program, which is also the first Java program I have ever written.
 
What I am planning now for the blog is:
 
1st, no politics. Politics is a highly exclusive game that only a few in the clique know the rule. Ordinary others like me, when we talking politics, we don't even know what are we talking about. You can't tell a policy is correct or wrong because you cannot see the hands under table.  And you are not qualified to judge a government is good or bad because you cannot see the invisible strings attached.
 
2nd, I don't think I am gonna write emotional feeling like most bloggers do.  Like, no prose. Emotion needs to be expressed, but not like this. It's privacy, so it's embrassing to be posted on interent. This is also because I don't like being seen as a whiner. I want people remember a passionate, positive, free and easy me. After all, I am a man, so I don't have feelings. Wink
 
I don't like things above because, after years, when I look back my old writing about personal emotion and politics, I feel myself stupid and naive. Well, pershaps I am naive on way or another. Blogging itself sounds naive enough.
 
What I will write, however, could be: I am gonna publish my novels. I am gonna revise my another novel and put it on this blog. And I will try to finish the novel based on my previous life in China.  And I could write technical things, like the cheater program. Further more, popular science articles also seem realistic.
 
I write those things cuz they interest me. And it's also interesting for others to read (hopefully). I like writing novels and making up stories. Especially when I am low, writing novel really alleviates my negtive feelings, cuz, I kindda express them through stories. And I like writing cheater programs. Cracking system is challenging intelligent people, which is hard, that is why it's so much fun.  
 
Now, ladies and gentlemen:

I Got Soul, But I'm Not A Soldier

   

All These Things That I've Done

The Killers

I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know, you know - no you don't, you don't
I wanna shine on in the hearts of men
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand

Another headaches, another heartbreaks
I am so much older than I can take
And my affection, well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection, no no no no

Help me out
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the blackburner
You know you got to help me out

And when there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
These changes ain't changing me
The cold-hearted boy I used to be

Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the blackburner
You know you got to help me out
You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down

I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
...

Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the blackburner
You know you got to help me out
You're gonna bring yourself down
You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the blackburner
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down

Over and out, last call for sin
While everyone's lost, the battle is won
With all these things that I've done
All these things that I've done
If you can hold on
If you can hold on

Confused Confucious

In my co-op course, the instructor quoted a proverb saying "Tell me and I will forget. Show me and I may remember. Involve me and I will understand." And she said it is from Confucious.

Confucious? Highly doubted. I cannot figure out what Chinese words are for the proverb.

Writing Calms

 
It has been reported that writing helps people to ease emotions. Both negtive and positive feeling. So in the next time, share sorrow with loved ones, and hold happy moments to yourself.

I Can Be Better

Sometimes, it sounds too good to be true. But it is very true. I can sense it. I can feel it.
 
Just ... my world view has been blown away. I have to get myself re-organized and re-motivated.
