Last Christmas
Though today (technically yesterday) was December 29th, I’ll always treasure it as a great Christmas. My relatives that I haven’t seen in at least 4 years, along with my immediate family, gathered at my grandparents’ house to celebrate Christmas late since this was the only date that we were all available. In all honesty, we didn’t do anything particularly amazing: we ate...

I. There are approximately two billion children (persons under 18) in the world. However, since Santa does not visit children of Muslim, Hindu, Jewish or Buddhist religions, this reduces the workload for Christmas night to 15% of the total, or 378 million (according to the…

Before cross country, Walnut Canyon Rd. was Walnut Canyon Rd.
But then I ran Brad’s Hill. Instead of seeing just the road, I saw everything around it. All of a sudden, the road and the houses seemed so small.
There was so much more, too.
And at the top of hill, you could see Walnut again. This time, from a completely different perspective.
It’s a Walnut that I never...

“Beat them into Peking University”
This is sickening. Honestly, if your goal was to beat your kids into submission, why bother having kids in the first place. Why would you give birth to someone, just so you can control every aspect of their life? Sure, they’ll get into a good college, but college is just a checkpoint. After that, then what? You’re screwing them...

On Reading.
I’ve been really slacking off on my reading lately, and I need to get back into it. The last good book I remember reading was “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” by Stieg Larsson, and that was almost a month ago. It’s easy to forget about it since it’s not a concrete “assignment” like my schoolwork, but I should place it higher on my priorities. Reading...

There is so much in life that we just tolerate. Some of it we have to deal with (taxes, bad weather, traffic). But there’s a good portion of stuff that we tolerate even when we don’t have to. We step around things, overlook irritations, and mindlessly accept energy drains. Perhaps we’ve become so immune to these tolerations that we don’t recognize the...
