I can't think straight - fairy tales for LES



When this movie came out, it was during the time that California is in the vote of California Prop 8. Finally, I got this movie.

First, I really like the color - blue at the beginning. Blue seems to be everywhere in this movie, especially two blue dresses of the two heroines.

Actually, felt kind of disappointed, after watching this movie, cause it is too perfect and smoothly. That's not reality. It is great for the fairy tales, but....

Two families, especially in religious and high social status, might not be easy to accept this.

Anyway, as a movie for fun, it might be a good choice.

collective subconsciousness





Collective subconsciousness is the kernel theory of Carl Gustav Jung, a famous psychologist. As one of the part of society, most people will have this subconsciousness, even he is a quiet person. The collective subconsciousness will make people feel relaxed, safe and even happy, just like the people in the video, while they are in this kind of informal collective activity.

However, nowadays, because of high technology, people would prefer to use the indirect communication, part reason of that is because indirect way sometimes makes people feel safe for themselves. But according to the nature of this collective subconsciousness, we need this kind of collective activity to make ourselves feel less lonely and find our identities as a member of the society. I hope I were there.

As for the song, I really like it, I remember I wrote a poster about it long time ago. Hope you like it. Thanks to zhuzhu to share it with me.

Life is sharing :)

Into The Wild


Long time ago, ZhuZhu recommended  the movie Into The Wild. After the mid-term week, finally I can watch this movie. Although I had some preview of what kind of movie it is, still feel so sad at the end of the movie. I do quite agree that we should go back to the wild some time, because we lost ourselves inside the so-called civilizaiton and technology, but as a human being, we suppose to live in a society. We suppose to share our feelings and inspirations. We suppose to love each other and forgive each other. Life is so short and vulnerable. Don't make ourselves regret of saying "I love you" to the people you love, especially your parents, brothers and sisters, friends and lovers. 

contradiction between local government and central government

While walking toward compus, I heard some ridiculous news from China. In Wubei, one of a small city, local government announced a regulation to require local people consume a certain number of cigarettes including school and enterprise and public institutions, because the annual tax revenue of the local government has been dropped for a long time, and 10-15 percent of which comes from local cigarette company. Therefore, they just forcely published such ridiculous and foolish policy to promote the badget for local government. 

Even ludicrously, government official will patrol randomly the institutions, to check their trash and ashtrays to find whether there are some non-local cigarette butts.  If found, the institution will get a fine or be cut the financial budget next year. They even require school to consume certain mount of cigarette without any specification who has to consume them, no matter teachers or high school students. 

Even central governemnt warned their citizens smoke would be dangerous for their health and try to ban the cigarette advertisement in TV. But it just keeps silent to this absurd policy from local government. What a kind of world it is!!!

Although, local governments have their authority for their tax revenue, this kind of local protect policy will just distroy their cigarette industry. The reason why local people would like to choose other brand is because they have better quality not because they want to give their contribution to the revenue of other local government.  

Even I believe that maybe some the governemtn official have any sense of ecoomy would not propose this policy. Where are those so-called experts and economists?  

Snow Patrol - Run


I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear


Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Light up...

Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
