If you could only see

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do

If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

Well you got your reasons
And you got your lies
And you got your manipulations
They cut me down to size

Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do

If you could only see how blue
her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

Seems the road less traveled
Show's happiness unraveled
And you got to take a little dirt
To keep what you love
That's what you gotta do

Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
You're stretching out your arms
to something that's just not there
Sayin' you love where you stand
Give your heart when you can

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do

If you could only see how blue
her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't

Sayin' you love where you stand
Give your heart when you can

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about or love
And what I must do

If you could only see how blue
her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

Life, Death, and Taxes!


So tonight I finally got done doing my taxes online, like I do through H&R Block's service. Hopefully I will actually see some of my refund. But probably not, as I am being audited by the IRS for tax year 2005, and they are trying to say I owe them almost $4,000.00! But tonight I also finally got word from the IRS on how to counter-claim that claim and hopefully I can only see half on my expected refund taken by the IRS this year. Which reminds me, RON PAUL '08!

The Spring Festival Ends Tonight…


… so happy Lantern Festival! According to this blog post, the origin of the festival signifying the last day of the Spring Festival (Chinese New Year Celebration) way have its origin in Chinese Folk Religion, Taoism/Daoism, or Buddhism, even though like Christmas in the West, it has become a fairly secular holiday now.

Flight Paths


I thought this was a great idea. FlyerStats.com is now online. It lets you enter a flight path, like KDEN-KORD-ZBAA-ZGCS (Denver International to Chicago O’Hare International to BeiJing Capitol to ChangSha Datuopo and back), and see the approximate path you’ll fly. It also calculates total and per-flight mileage and cost per mile too. But then it allows you to use Great Circle Mapper to see your flight, in addition to Google Maps, which is less impressive in this situation. Looking at the world this way makes you realize why so many international flights do not fly directly over the oceans, which would look more direct in standard maps that we are used to seeing like Google Maps.

HaoJie and WuYa in China


I have the tickets, so it is guaranteed to happen! This time we will fly from DIA to O'HARE then O'HARE to PEKING and finally on to HUANGHUA but unfortunately O'HARE to PEKING and back is on UNITED rather than on AIR CHINA, but at least PEKING to HUANGHUA and back are on AIR CHINA, my favorite airline. But luckily I do have frequent flyer programs with both UNITED MILEAGE PLUS and AIR CHINA COMPANION. Unfortunately, I am not traveling First Class this flight. Those seats sure do look comfy and very sleepable!

The Waking, The Dreaming, God, and Me

It.

Happened.

Again!

(And not the stigmata pictured in the comic to the left! LOL!)

Except this time, the return to the dreaming corresponded with a return in the Awaking (Or is it the Waking [World]?). While the one that left the Dreaming has left the Awaking for me again.

Why has God given me this gift, if indeed it is even a gift from Him?

Yellow Dog Linux 6.0 for PS3 and PPC systems ready

Version 6.0 of Yellow Dog Linux (YDL) represents a change of direction for Terra Soft Solutions. Fedora has been largely replaced by CentOS as the basis for the distribution. This should make it easier for the distributor to maintain the distribution for Power Architecture, as the CentOS development team maintain their distribution significantly longer than Fedora, which is more focused on new software.

Ultimately this about-turn changes little for YDL users, as the packages from CentOS 5.0/5.1 which form the basis of YDL 6.0 are derived from the same version of the commercial Red Hat Enterprise Linux distribution which is in turn based on Fedora Core 6. The software included in YDL 6.0 is thus only a little more recent compared to YDL 5.0, which was based on Fedora Core 5. Terra Soft Solutions has therefore in some instances included packages from more recent version of Fedora.

YDL 6.0 is suitable for PPC systems such as the Playstation 3 (PS3), Apple PowerPC G4 and G5 and IBM System p (JS2x, 510, 520, 540). In addition to GNOME, the resource-saving E17 desktop, which copes better with the PS3's modest consignment of RAM, is also installed. The distributor has also integrated the Cell SDK 3.0 for the PS3 and other systems equipped with Cell processors. Initially the new version of YDL will only be available to paying customers. It should be available to download for free in about a month.

Electronic Sheep Conclusion


Last night, I could not sleep well at all. This morning I realized I had plugged in an AirPort extender to test and had forgotten about it. This leads me to believe that it was indeed the electronics being absent that led me to lack of sleep.

Rewired Sleep


Another night of long, uninterrupted sleep. I think maybe it really is the lack of wired and wireless items that I had in my room that prevented full, relaxed, uninterrupted sleep before this weekend!

What a Change!

Yesterday I "unwired" my bedroom a bit more. Having received my free KyLin TV box, (use FAF/promo code: NS8B1C if you sign up for the free box and free 15 day trial) I needed to switch things up, or use a splitter, which is never a good choice.

So now my cable, instead of running in to my bedroom, stays in my living room. There it is connected to my cable modem which connects to my wireless router. The router is connected to my Nuvio VOIP phone, my Sony PlayStation3, and my KyLinTV.

Oddly enough, having moved the VOIP box, the phone, the wireless router, and the cable modem to my living room allowed me to get a much more restful sleep last night. Maybe it is the new lack of electronic signals in the immediate area? Maybe.

It is Later than You Think!

While Orthodox Christians associate this quote with Father Seraphim Rose of Saint Herman Monastery in Platina, California, U.S.A., people from China will recognize it as an ancient Chinese proverb.

Perhaps Blessed Seraphim of Platina had picked this up, when he was in his Oriental Mysticism phase as Eugene Rose?

You can see his famous Orthodox Christian teaching of Father Seraphim (Rose) on the icon of him to the right.
