after more than a year long hiatus...

i'm back!

you're my angel

waiting on an angel
one to carry me home
hope you come to see me soon
cause I don't want to go alone
i don't want to go alone

now angel won't you come by me
angel hear my plea
take my hand lift me up
so that I can fly with thee
so that I can fly with thee

and I'm waiting on an angel
and I know it wont be long
to find myself a resting place
in my angel's arms
in my angel's arms

so speak kind to a stranger
cause you'll never know
it just might be an angel come
knocking at your door
knocking at your door

and I'm waiting on an angel
and I know it wont be long
to find myself a resting place
in my angel's arms
in my angel's arms

waiting on an angel
one to carry me home
hope you come to see me soon
cause I don't want to go alone
I don't want to go alone
don't want to go

I don't want to go alone

classic rock tuesday night

tonight i stayed at home and listened to classic rock ballads. my room mate and his girlfriend mentioned that i need a girl. do i? i already have a girl, just that she's in oakland right now serving a mission.

it was really good music. if you want to give classic rock a try, i suggest bread. soppy love songs of the classic era sure beats soppy pop love songs of the 90s and 2000s? (is that the way to say it--2000s?, oh well)

recommendations:

bread - i would give everything i own, if, i wanna make it with you (not in the disgusting sense you pervert), aubrey

...give it a shot, you'll enjoy it

9 months

has it really been this long?

不要停止,你們的堅忍和忍耐,應當加倍...

you know that place between sleeping and dreaming, that's where i'm waiting...

how many teeth are in a horse's mouth?

ladies and gentlemen, hold your breath and brace yourself for the suave, heartbreaker... mr francis bacon:



well, here's an interesting story i read in my history of psychology textbook, written by the man above:

"in the year of our lord 1432, there arose a grievous quarrel among the brethren over the number of teeth in the mouth of a horse. for 13 days the disputation raged without ceasing. all the ancient books and chronicles were fetched out, and a wonderful and ponderous erudition, such as was never heard of in this region, was made manifest. at the beginning of the 14th day, a youthful friar of goodly bearing asked his learned superiors for a permission to add a word, and straightway, to the wonderment of the disputants, whose deep wisdom he sore vexed, he beseeched them to unbend in a manner coarse and unheard-of, and to look in the open mouth of a horse and find the answer to their questionings. at this, their dignity being grievously hurt, they waxed exceedingly wroth and joining in a mighty uproar, they flew upon him and smote his hip and thigh, and cast him out forthwith. for, said they, surely satan had tempted this bold neophyte to declare unholy and unheard-of ways of finding truth contrary to all the teachings of the fathers. after many days of grievous strife the dove of peace sat on the assembly, and they as one man, declaring the problem to be an everlasting mystery because of a grievous dearth of historical and theological evidence thereof, so ordered the same writ down."

so much for philosophical wisdom!
