By Request: 珊瑚海
I don't really understand Chinese too well, I have to go by translations.  If you can't see the Chinese characters, you should install the full version of Microsoft Office and it will display the characters.  Anyway, Here is the Chinese version of Coral Sea:
海平面远方开始阴霾 悲伤要怎么平静纯白
我的脸上始终夹带 一抹浅浅的无奈
你用唇语说你要离开 (情不在)
那难过无声慢了下来
汹涌潮水 你听明白
不是浪而是泪海
转身离开 (你有话说不出来) 分手说不出来
海鸟跟鱼相爱 只是一场意外
我们的爱 （给的爱）差异一直存在 (回不来)
凤中尘埃 (等待)竟累积成伤害
转身离开 (分手说不出来) 分手说不出来
蔚蓝的珊瑚海 错过瞬间苍白
当初彼此 （你我都）不够成熟坦白
热情不改 (你的) 笑容勉强不来
爱深埋珊瑚海
毁坏的沙碉如何重来 有裂痕的爱怎么重盖
只是一切 结束太快 你说你无法释怀
贝壳里隐藏着什么期待 (等花儿开)
我们也已经无心再猜
面向海风，咸咸的爱，尝不出还有未来

I don't know how well I wrote this in English but I think original Mandarin passages speak some truth about letting go of relationships.

I see a haze in the distance
On the surface of the ocean
How is sadness calm and pure white?
The heart is absent: it grieves then slows down
Like the heavy outflow of the tides
Guided by the sea breeze
Dust in the wind accumulates
Sand drawings disintegrate
Is hope hidden beneath the shells?
I don't want to guess anymore.

Our love has been deeply buried in the Coral Sea

Listening to Space Jam... recalling hyper moments when I was ten... I'm so bored now.  My life is nice, it's just plain.  Sometimes, I wonder if I should drink and party like everyone else my age but even that's boring and self-destructive (well, at least for me).  I just wish I could go on an adventure, but I don't want to do anything self destructive... that stuff is so old and overdone.  People talk like pot is the end of the world and yet they drink and drink... it's the same really, it's just one form of self-destruction is more accepted by society than the other... oh so bored.  ~SIGH~

I have my hardest essay due in two days and I've written only about half of it so far.  Go JSTOR!  It found a good 80% of my sources.  I still can't believe my hardest paper is in a first year Anthropology class.  That's crazy!  The TAs better be marking somewhat generously or half of the little first years will fail.  That paper is more work than anything in my second year classes aside from MIT 201 last semester, and that class was crazy hard.

Despite all the essays I have to do, life has been SO MUCH FUN LATELY!  Especially today.
It all started when I went to Spirituality Cafe.  It was so much fun, but the discussion was really deep and heavy, so Mohammed, Josh, and I sort of went crazy afterwards.  We were acting silly, and singing that Sharon, Lois, and Braham song (you know, Skimamarinki dinkidink?) and then Arman told us to go to the class upstairs, which was the kids class.  We were just laughing and going nuts, and then when Mohammed and I went outside, we noticed the Thames had flooded.  So we started throwing stuff into it and yelling, "SPLASH!!!"
Oh I know this must sound stupid, but it was so much fun.  To top it all off, Arman let Mohammed and I ride on the back of his truck.  Then Arman drove through the flooded Thames in the shallow area and Mohammed and I started screaming!  Then we drove up a hill and Mohammed was so scared, he was grabbing my arm the whole time.  We got to the top of the hill, and Evan and Lucy looked at us like WTF!!!!  It was HILARIOUS!!!

All I have to say is BOOO YAH!!!!   I knew it!   Now all the college and MTP kids are going to lose their money . . . well maybe in the weeks to come.  My mom and I could tell this was going to happen.  It just goes to show you, fate, God, merit, or whatever is on MY SIDE, even if I have to take a couple of life's lumps sometimes (i.e. midterms!).  Now I can just sit and laugh evilly.... buahahahahha.
Well, no offense to the college/MTP kids, I do feel sorry for them.  But I'm REALLY happy I quit that program... less misery, and now less money lost!   You know it's funny, once you decide you're going to live a certain way according to your principles and you stick to them, life just opens up to you.  I feel the sun smiling on me every day =D and I think God helps those who help themselves.  TO be born into a life of middle class, where I'm not too rich but not too poor so I can live my life well, yeah.  It's just a miracle.  Despite the struggles in life, I would definitely say I'm one of the lucky ones. . . and I'm damn grateful!

I LOVE KanYe.  Just LOVE him.  Everytime I see him on TV, I just love him more.
Finally, someone on popular music who gives a shit about politics and the state of affairs in the West.  A rapper who supports homosexual rights.  Someone who cares about religion and is not afraid to talk about it in Western pop culture.  Not to mention he likes white crank, like Franz Ferdinand!  How cool.
Although you can tell KanYe is not quite the reincarnation of Jesus since he is a little arrogant, wow . . . it's just seems to have been so long since pop music has come out with someone really genuine and passionate.  Someone trying to make a difference.  It inspires me every day.
I'm going to meditate (can't fast for Baha'i because of the perscription I'm taking), write my essays, and become a better person, TODAY!  That's how inspired I am.  I hope you are too guys, because despite all the bullshit that's mainstream, one glimmer of truth can inspire one for the rest of their life.  Take care.
Jesus Walks!
