Inspirational video
got this from captain jonathan. it touched my heart, i hope it touches your’s. i’m just copying and pasting.
This is probably the best video I have ever seen on youtube (or any other video sharing site) Its about this father and son partnership. Dick (father) and Rick (son) Hoyt from america. Rick was partially strangeled by his umbilical cord when he was born so was brain-damaged and cannot control his limbs. But He can communicate by tapping a computer key with his head.
After he told his father that he wanted to run in a charity run for a paralysed schoolmate, his father agreed and ran the race carrying him.
Rick said that he did not feel paralysed when he was being pushed in a wheelchair by his dad… so from then on, they enter marathons and triathalons together. They cant enter as a singel runner, or as a wheelchair competitor so Dick just runs so fast pushing his son, that they qualify within the regular race qualification time for regular runners. (the young man qualifying time not the senior category!)
Its amazing! and they are only 35 mins off the world record marathon time! Because of the races, Dick (the dad) even managed to survive a heart blockage simply because he was very fit. So in some sense the son even saved the father:) While I still don’t think marathons are the way to go for optimal exercise, but hey if its for and inspirational use like this its alright (just this time hehe)hope you enjoy the vid. If I’m not wrong the story first came out on Sports Illustrated the sports magazine.
A fathers’ love can be an amazing thing!
video games
i’ve got grand theft auto san andreas, max payne 2, swat 4, the godfather, manhunt, rugby 2006, black and white 2 and need for speed most wanted.
these games are all loaded onto my desktop and i’ve yet to complete them. oh yes, kal too. haven’t played that in a long time.
after the exams. video games everyday. i’ll try to clock 8 hours of gameplay everyday.
dang, this holiday is seriously going to be off the hook! totally awesome!
can’t say legendary because it’s a one man thing but what the heck, awesome still sounds spectacular.
P.S. if any of your want the games, just let me know.

i apologise
to all who i’ve insulted/hurt/whatever.
i apologise. please forgive me.
bed of nails
i like to be in the know of things. especially the bad part.
i don’t want to live or think of my life as a bed of roses.
i want it to be a bed of nails constantly poking, reminding me that this is life and not some dream.
i hate to think that everything is going well and all of sudden, news flash, there was something bad that i did not know about and i’m on stage with the audience laughing at my ignorance.
i hate build ups. cause it will either escalate or mellow down. thus the final reaction might be inappropriate.
if encountered with a problem, i generally like to take it head on. unless i’m stalling for the right time to inflict greater damage.
dear friend
nobody can get you down, bring you up or get to you unless you let them.
you are your greatest enemy.
you are your greatest achievement, you are your greatest fault.
if someone does that, your the one who allows it.
My dear friend Davio,
it’s time you, accept your mistakes, learn from them and change.
i think
instead of spending so much time analyzing and perfecting your plans, just implement them and go ahead.
right now, your all think and no action. you day dream far too much. move your butt and do what you planned to do weeks/years ago.
note to self
———————————
i don’t believe that a diploma will bring me happiness in the future.
i don’t believe that a degree will bring me happiness in the future.
i believe that me will bring me happiness in the future.
i don’t need a big ass car/house/whatever to get me happy. i’m a really simple man.
i rather be average and doing something that i love than rich and doing something that i hate.
i don’t think the extra year i spent in secondary school was a waste. i don’t think i’m behind people who spent 4 years in secondary school and graduated from a junior college.
i think it’s fucked up to tell someone that i can be happy go lucky now but in 5 years time, i’ll regret.
i think that only 10% of what i learnt from school will be used when i work.
i think that being a people person is better than being a person who does his job very well.
i think that it’s sad how more and more people are sucked into the system.
i think i should shut the hell up, go play hide and fuck myself.
