My Dragon Fly and Me
If I could be a Dragon Fly and wing my way through the sky I would never be shy just me and my Dragon Fly!
By moonlight we ride the wind chase the comets tail for fun by day we would hide from the sun our fragile wings would come undone
On darkest nights we would use fireflies as our guide we would dip and we would glide through the heavens open wide and scatter diamonds in the night sky my Dragon Fly and me...
And we would wing past our lovers silent in the night... to kiss their face in our flight much to their surprise and delight my Dragon Fly and me in sight...
Such a view do we share away up here in the air of breezes soft through our hair my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

You got Jet Lag?
To: Soaring Feather
...your arrival in the Lair, it was April 2, 2006. See how things go, you have been around Taiwan, Thailand, to the USA and now headed back to Taiwan.;)
Yes, and don't forget India too. I sure run around a lot, but that year I spent when I started Freeping (2005) in that small Taiwan town, I didn't leave Taiwan at all! Remember that's when I used to go to that capital city on weekends? Ah, seems like it was yesterday.
In fact, I had planned on living in the mongo capital of Taipei, which actually has a lot of international characteristics, before I left Taiwan. But I hatched my plot to get my technology certifications in India, then cut this short and that short, and so it wasn't meant to be.
However, I spent the first 5 weeks here reading about and programming in all the new language changes. I'm ready to take two tests for the certification, but there are 3 more I also have to pass, and I just didn't budget the time to do all that without doing some manual labor type job to keep the lights on till I finished the certifications. I didn't assume I would get the snotty push back from immature young people controlling the manual labor jobs, which I erroneously thought I could just jump into without any problems.
Though yesterday I did bump into some young lads who were clearly from a red state and were here on their spring break. It was really refreshing to meet some youths from the red states, the difference with the calculating little Future Communists of America that pass for youths in these blue states is really, really striking.
They were asking about hotels in this town, and just their bearing was so commendable. Remember all our troops in the military are just such young fellows and fellowettes.
I'm 100% sure I could have done my blue-collar-work-while-transitioning-into-white-collar-work plan in a red state, where the people aren't so snaky, but here, forget it, better to go back to Taiwan.
I'm taking all the study books and software with me, so this time next year I'll have those heavyweight certifications, and I can decide then if I want to carry on in Taiwan, or come back and do software again. I think that's the wisest course of action.

Morning Has Broken
As sung by Cat Stevens
lyrics by Eleanor Farjeon
Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the word
Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day
To: starbase
LOL great picture and I did crashed. We had lots of rain in the night.
To: All
My Star
by Robert Browning
All, that I know
Of a certain star
Is, it can throw
(Like the angled spar)
Now a dart of red,
Now a dart of blue
Till my friends have said
They would fain see, too,
My star that dartles the red and the blue!
Then it stops like a bird; like a flower, hangs furled:
They must solace themselves with the Saturn above it.
What matter to me if their star is a world?
Mine has opened its soul to me; therefore I love it.
To: Soaring Feather
Good morning,
