"Happy life not equal to simple one”, “Simple life = irresponsible one”. I fail to catch your point here.

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛If its all what they make it out to be, I'd like to be a Maytag Repair man. You know the commercials? The Maytag Repair man just sits around in a smart uniform, because no one needs to call him (apparently because all their appliances are working--not because their appliances have electrocuted and killed them all). Hey sitting around do nothing and getting paid for it? I'll do it! I'll just spend the time surfing the web and dump some more crap on this forum.

But like all dreams, you gotta eventually wake up to reality. I bet that Maytag repair man works his ASS when he's off camera....And I bet he gets paid less than a 12 year old girl working in one of those sweatshops.

Life sucks. Thats why you dream about to be like someone else. How do you know that sucker Xu ZhiMo told the trues or just his imagination?

Trying to improve your life make it sucks even more. When I stormed my first 15 years old Chevy through the downtown street many years ago, I fell like I was the one and only multi-billionaire in town. And now my houses getting bigger and cars getting better but that billionaire-like feeling could never be found anymore. (well, I’m still stick a piece of paper on the wall that my monitor sit against, with slogan like “Break that million mark before 30” on every birth day, but its become more like a family laugh stock than spirit lifter.)

Okie dokie. So what this tells me? Want a happy life you got to keep it simple and appreciate the few sparkling moment in any given day. Things like:
A hot shower.
No lines at the Wal-Mart and Dominion.
Lying in bed listening to the rain outside.
Walking out of my last final exam.
Finding the sweater I want is on sale for half price
Finding a $20 bill in my jacket from last winter.
Midnight phone calls that last for hours.
Laughing for absolutely no reason at all.
Waking up in the night and realizing I still have a few hours left to sleep.
Making eye contact with a cute stranger….woo… that just makes my day.

…Jeesh! What happen? Am I suppose to make some point that life sucks? I'm confused here… I'm tired …更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

It depends on your mind set. Less desire, loneliness gives you the chance to re-think about life; strong desire, loneliness makes you crazy. -sw989(Londoner); 2001-1-31 (#23487@0)

so, which side do u belong to, Londoner? -rolia(rolia); 2001-1-31 {67} (#23507@0)
I guess you will say you belong to the former, hehe, da yan bu can!

don't know why, but i start to enjoy being alone recently, the more i think of, the tranquil i become. -pisces(pisces); 2001-2-9 {525} (#25406@0)
people is always saying that a true life is not a complete one unless you walk down the aisle, give birth to your child. Then what? watched "Apirl Rhapsody: a story about the poet Xu ZhiMo" today at work, a sad, classic love story, a love only passionate abnormal people as poets will pursue, will it fall on us? or am i willing or ready to take it while it happens? or after a long journey of wandering and seeking, it is proved to be better off for normal people to take ordinary routes, especially when it comes to love.

唉，又一个不幸的小伙子要打光棍了。 -rolling(Rollor); 2001-2-9 {66} (#25407@0)
我很欣赏你的情调。况且，由于还不知道那个小伙子是谁，用不着同情他。
I listen Howard Stern every morning.The thing I like is that it tells me don't be too serious about anything, ordinary or extraordinary,one day we all gonna end up in that little box.God will get us out of this shit hole if you believe there is a God. -guest:Jian; 2001-2-10 (#25475@0)

disagree. existance appears for reason. To live a happy life is not equal to live a simple one, non-responsible one. -pisces(pisces); 2001-2-12 {235} (#25869@0)
certain things need to be treated seriously in a meaningful life, as that is where happiness belongs to. Invididuals can weight those things differently at different stages. confusion, or complains occur whenever the scale unbalances.

life does not suck! -pisces(pisces); 2001-2-13 {3386} (#26051@0)
本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛at least you could appreciate a few sparkling moments every day,your heart is not as old as you thought it is. looking back into 2 or 3 yrs from time to time, aren't you satisfied with the 1000 more days of existing? aren't you kind of praying for the coming one become better, and different?

life is given without choice, but we have the choices to make it yours.

have time to listen to a story a friend of mine told me the other day while we were chatting on the phone? nothing special, it was a midnight, a quite phone call, and this story:

Many years ago, he represented the school to play soccer in a
highschool tournament. That was early January in Hangzhou. Hangzhou is a weird place in winter. It snows once or twice each year. But, always very heavy for that once or twice. One of their match was just after a heavy snow.

Officials went through a lot of pain to dig out a rarely seen soccer court of orange color for the match.

The field was looking solid before the match. A couple of icy spot everyone would like to avoid. But, it turned out that the field was actually a
swamp. they were literally steping into inches of icy water all the time. If
you have seen the rice field in spring time, that it is. The difference is the
water is just zero degree.

He doesn't remember how many times he stumbled into the ground (or, the mash). It would be even harder for him to search out the meaning of the match. All 20+ players over there were so easily exhausted by running over the mash back and forth. Plus, they had to play the game and kick every of their opponents. A couple of times, he was face-down to the ground and hurting himself everywhere.

his limbs were getting dumb, letting him feel much less pain. For
moment, he thought he was gonna die there. Couldn't be more chilled when you were sweating all over, running in icy water against brisky wind. They don't know the word of "wind-chill factor" in Hangzhou. Otherwise, school officials should definitely be charged for committing crime as they had them playing under that kind of conditions.

After all, they finished the game. he has to doubt the meaning of
this kind of crusade, because there wasn't even an audience for the game. The only thing they could expect after the game was some sweet ginger soup.

But, no matter how meaningless or stupid was the game, he told me that he really misses the spirit of that game from time to time nowadays. For the moment that you don't see any fear or doubt on those chilled dumb
faces. And, not mention the joy of kicking someone behind but not
getting any penalties.

I am not sure that growing up and beign educated sophisticatedly sometimes has to be compounded with more fear and doubt about the world and ourselves.

Certainly I hope not.

Certainly i hope my friends don't pay for the price of growing up neither. Life could be as simple as it is, yet, there are feelings and moments that only a sophisticated person can appreciate. enjoy it or rather not having it, it is up to every single man now.

I would not complain for my life being too hard or too boring, it is the one i made and lived. Centainly, i have no rights to criticize others', only wish to have my joys shared by those who enjoy, and if i am lucky enough, i could also have my sorrows spread over those shoulders who love to bear.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

I think the main point is to have a job in Canada, after that, you will really can have a good life in Canada. Even you have parties oppertunities everyday, I do not think you want to attend these parties before you find a job. -guest:mike; 2001-2-8 {75} (#25190@0)

After you have a job, you can get a car, buy a house, attedn the parties...
