It's been a long time since I wrote in this thing. I think it's because I eventually got tired of writing in this thing every single day. How do I change that? I can't. I'm just going to see what I can do about writing more. Because writing more helps me develop. I don't know what. But it usually makes me feel better.


I just came over from Jack's page and read what he wrote. What I wouldn't give for some patience and skill to work on my page. What is my obsession with making a good page? Well I guess my thought deserve a good presentation. This page is nice, but it isn't me.


I wrote this to Kim last night.


Ask Amanda


Her name is Amanda

I see her from across the room almost everyday

A stern look on her face as she scrutinizes the monitor

I like her slender figure wrapped in yellow sweater

Her legs covered in tight bluee jeans

Her demeanor rarely falters as her work goes by

The low hum of office equipment encircle the air

Whenever I brush past her

Her long black hair falls limp on her tired shoulder

Not glamorous or styled, just straight and true

"That's so embarassing," I heard her giggle once in

Cantonese

I always envisioned my first words to her would be "Ni hao!"

Now those fantasies are falling into place

Whenever I see her blue Civic Si parked out front

My heart would twitch alive

Something about a girl who can manage a man's car

You know, one that requires manual gear selections

She had a little cartoon character sticker on her gas door

Mirroring the red Pochacco on mine

Everyday I wish I could get the courage to talk to her

To ask her out, to get to know her, to be her friend

Why can't I do it?

Does she even see me?

Does she even know I am there?

"Amanda, my name is John."


Today I made little headway on the road of life. I did my work. I came home and I rested. Freddy Vs Jason is a huge disappointment. Not the movie, but the quality of what I downloaded. I didn't call anyone today on the phone.
