Lost in Translation, Imo.

Found on a popsicle stick:

"What kind of door never closes?"
"A soccer goal."

"What kind of book can't you find in a bookstore?"
"A secretary."

Apparently these jokes are funnier in Chinese.

Take A Picture, Vol. One

Here are some awesome pictures from China.


Here we are being awesome at the Great Wall of China.



Here we are at place where badminton is played.



This is Bruce looking awesome in Shanghai.



This is Shanghai looking awesome and smoggy.

MORE PICTURES TO COME.

OMG Canada. Anna Rice

I high-fived THE Anna Rice today.

For those of you not in the know, she is an Olympic badminton player.

However, my good vibes were not enough to help her overcome her opponent.

Anna, if you are reading this, you are the shit.

Big Bird In China

Whoa. It is almost time for China.

Grapefruit Diet ... DIET!

McDonald's should never be given a dedicated left turn.

It is ridic that people make it so easy to be fat.

Waiting on the World to Change

This John Mayer song is interesting.

For any other artist, I would take the song's lyrics as they are; in this case, standard, jaded, anti-war teenage angst.

However, considering that John Mayer is much, much smarter than your average musician/lyricist/comedian, I'm tempted to believe that he's thinking on a higher level.

The lyrics to this song feel tainted with double meaning. E.g.:

It's hard to beat the system
When we're standing at a distance

I think most would assume that the "we" he refers to is standing at a distance not by choice but because that's as close as "we" can get. If he wanted to be more explicit, he should have said "When they keep us at a distance", or something along those lines. The fact that he uses the word "standing" connotes a feeling of inaction by choice. That's weird to me.

Also, e.g.:

One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population
So we keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change

These lines also seem to imply that "we" have a sense of entitlement to inherit the world, despite lacking the motivation or interest in making a difference.

Also, he could just be super-high all the time.

Things Just Ain't the Same for Gangsters

It's ridic how there are people at the amusement park who look visibly unhappy. I find it hard to believe that you can go to an amusement park and be angry.

Also, this little girl dropped her ice cream cone and it faceplanted onto the pavement. I have never seen someone look so thoroughly disappointed.
