Final Destination

I have been cheating death, I think.

First, there was that 5.4 earthquake here in southern California.

Following the earthquake, the school found a gas leak. Apparently, our class somehow missed the call to evacuate the buildings and move to the field. I think it was because some very heated discussion about Christian Bale or Bail what's his face and whether or not he was bad man for abusing his mom and sister. Whatever the case, it really brought out the rage from the girls.

Then when I was riding home, I somehow found myself in front of my bike. Thing was, I didn't get there in the orthodox way, such as by getting off the bike and walking around. Instead, I somehow gone over my handlebars, crashing into more or less everything along the way. In the end, my groin felt like the Balls of Fury. I walked for a block before daring to get back on the bike.

Later, during tennis, I almost tore my pink off with my watch in some clumsy maneuver and gave myself a dead leg while serving.

Today was definitely not a good day.

WALL-E

So yesterday I went to the the theater to watch WALL-E with my cousins, neighbor, and brother.



According to a friend who quoted another person, "WALL-E is cute but has no plot."

I beg to differ, at least from the second part. WALL-E was "cute", and there were some pretty hilarious moments where you can't help but laugh.

However, there's something deeper to the movie than just it's spectacular graphics and animation.

Perhaps the movie will lend some thought to attempting to save the Earth's environment. It might just happen - our world will be filled with mountains of junk. In WALL-E, the entire Earth is surrounded by a perpetual layer of assorted space junk. So pick up your trash.

Then there's the question of obesity. In the future, everyone is fat. They can't get around anywhere without going in an automatic, motorized comfort chair. Even babies start their lives in hovercribs. All they have to do to get something to eat is snap their hands and some robot will deliver. They don't even know that their luxury space liner has a running track. In fact, their jaw muscles are probably not much stronger than their hearts. No chewing involved when your cupcakes come in cup.

Not only are they fat, but they are illiterate. If they want something defined, it has to be by pictures and video clips. All instructions are accompanied by graphics. And when it comes to the point where an Earthling doesn't even know what Earth is, then ... well, I don't really know what to say - I've already used up Bush's No Child Left Behind act once, so I'll just stick with the classic "all hope is lost".

Jack of All Trades

Some people might consider me talented. I can cave paint and play the violin. I can also play tennis and achieve a decent mile time. I can sometimes pull of an A without studying. Give me a computer and I could find my way around it, virtually or otherwise, and I can write a blog.

But while I perform all of these things, and possibly perform some of them well, I am not extremely good at any of them. I'm never going to be a Monet or van Gogh, even after I've died, whether by suicide or otherwise. My musical skills are probably never going to be among the likes of Mozart or Beethoven. My tennis skills are inconsistant at best, and my mile time isn't exactly enough evidence of a star athlete in the making. Heck, my grades don't even live up to the lowest standards of Asians, especially in math. I may know computers well, but when it comes down to the nuts and bolts I'm clueless. As for my blog, well, you be the judge, but my page views don't skyrocket*, nor can I make a living off of it.

According to my mom, I need to find something I like and be good at it, becuase colleges don't want a well-rounded person. Apparently, they want someone with a rounded bottom and pointy tip, although more than one tip doesn't hurt. I suppose if I really tried I could become the equivalent of a Jack-in-the-Box.

But being as lazy, although the preferred term is efficient, as I am, it's really hard for me to put effort into something. Nor can I really choose which area because I all like them equally - which can be alot if I'm doing well, or not very much if I'm not doing well. It fluctuates alot with me. I also have a time devotion issue. I like to play the violin, but after playing everything once, twice, or thrice through, I get bored and no longer want to play it for the day - so where as I should practice for an hour, I get in twenty minutes, or if I'm really diligent thirty minutes.

I really got to shape up. When I'll do it, I don't have the answers - ask yourselve.
