He is my best foreign friend, he is very good, we have a lot of the same idea, but my English is very bad, even though he is very smart, but still misunderstanding. Produce too much misunderstanding, he might think I'm talking, in fact, I just do not know how to explain. If he left China, I will miss him very much.
I gave my imagination duct tape as well as my aggravation towards our secretive government and let it do whatever it wanted today; what it produced in return is this collage that i hope someone can enjoy more than me (it seems I am in fact my toughest critic?)
It actually speaks volumes about some of my views and it would be interesting to see if anyone can pick this apart the way English teachers pick apart classic literature. But of course it will go over some of your heads, especially for those who don't read this rant. :)

"This spring of love, resembles the uncertain glory of an April day
The sun beating against my neck, horizons still stuck in my mind
To the girl that can't forgive me
Take these misunderstandings, return them back where they came from
Take these misunderstandings, it's hard enough to live life as it is
Binded
Hooked on an anchor
All nereids beware, all nereids beware
This spring of love, resembles the uncertain glory of an April day
A shipwreck
Left stranded
A castaway
Coast to coast the high seas echo "it's not you it's me"
If the wind were down, I could drive the boat with my sighs
(I could drive the boat .. if the wind .. were down)
Take these misunderstandings, return them back where they came from
Take these misunderstandings, it's hard enough to live life as it is

This is Banderu Seijin with metallic green highlights on navy blue vinyl base version by Marmit released in 1996. There is a story behind this figure. It came to me by misunderstanding…. I already have a blue one like this (www.flickr.com/photos/51940189@N04/6451626009/ ) but what happened was that when I made an order for the other figure, the guy in Japan, who can’t speak even a simple word of English took this one by the difference of one syllable of Katakana. Each time I make orders to him I use my terrible Japanese – however, which is hundred times better than his nonexistent English…. – but because of one syllable difference (though I used the correct one for the item but he didn’t read it carefully as two items are quite similar in spelling) he sent me something quite different. Well, I don’t mind this one as I like it anyway, but what I hate this time was that he blamed me for not using “correct” Japanese then he cut off further communication completely and no reply to my emails saying that I will take it anyway so don’t worry about what’s happened and so on. Maybe he’s worried that I will ask for the refund. You know, in the world a war can happen because of one incorrect translation of a sentence….. “One small translation error, giant genocide for mankind” kinda thing.......

in other news, it's been noted that mayor mcbigot has been hanging around with neo-nazis (other than those belonging to federal and provincial conservative parties). the white supremacist, true to form, claims that he isn't a bigot, in much the same manner that the mayor makes similar claims. since the magic of the internet is available, though, it's been easily proven over and over that jon latvis is a filthy fucking racist and like all bigots, doesn't have the courage to stand up for his odious beliefs when a light is shone on him. mayor rob ford, similarly cried out that it was all a big misunderstanding that he met with a neo-nazi - twice - and that the big mean media was once again picking on him unfairly.
bullshit. latvis played lead guitar and other instruments for rahowa, a white supremacist band, and wrote many of their lyrics. from 1990 on, latvis was a member of the band, has never divorced himself from their disgusting beliefs (until just now, and only in the form of lying about his history), and wrote many of their most bigoted songs. oh, and he has a tattoo of a swastika, which he claims is really a 'cross of thunder'. sure, kid. and your song triumph of the will is really all about rik emmett rewriting shakespeare.
as for ford, he's a stupid fucking liar, a bigot and like his skinhead buddy, too much of a chickenshit coward to stand up and say what he believes. instead, he expects that the right-wing press will play down the story, excuse his unforgiveable behaviour and make accusations against the people who brought the topic out in the open.
many thanks to anti-racist canada for starting the ball rolling, and to warren kinsella for spreading the story around. now magazine has pushed the news along after the usual assholes at the national post did nothing but claim that kinsella is a liberal spin doctor (no, they really made that a big point in their write-up), that ford loves meeting with citizens (as long as they're also hateful bigots), and restated the ridiculous claim that latvis gave ford and his handlers a different name. yeah, i'm sure that latvis bothered to engage in subterfuge because everyone knows that fuckhead ford would have checked into his background and been very professional about matters. the final claim from the ford (concentration) camp is also ridiculous - apparently latvis wanted to discuss transit with the mayor. no word on whether latvis and ford discussed shipping dissidents and other unsavoury characters to prison camps in boxcars, but i'm sure the mayor's office would just describe that as an improvement on lrts.
it's been interesting to watch the reaction from the city's jewish community. unfortunately the jewish press skews pro-conservative, and the mayor's henchmen were quick to offer an apology to the centre for israel and jewish affairs. cija, of course, quickly restated many of the points that the morons at the national post made, including an attempt to discredit kinsella. it's interesting that cija would brush aside rob ford's connection to a neo-nazi. politics does indeed make strange bedfellows, and i suppose it must just be expedient for a jewish advocacy group to make light of antisemitic hate group representatives when they are invited to meet with local politicians. true friends, indeed.
this fucking bigot ford needs to be removed from office. you might not be queer, jewish, female, a cyclist, a library user, a union member, italian, or a member of any other group who fuckface ford clearly hates, but as long as you're not a bigot, it's obvious that he is not a decent human being or fit for public office.

I used to have a friend that gave me the silent treatment every time she was mad at me. Of course, at the time we were both 12. Was going to see if racquetball on Sun would work, but am now kind of glad I hadn't gotten around to asking yet. If you plan to continue being a needy little drama queen, please let me know as I should start giving you back all the stuff I never asked for.
We've talked since and agreed it was a simple misunderstanding though I still feel kinda singed. It's been a tough week.

Owing to a spouse-related misunderstanding, we discovered at half past midnight that the only Easter Egg in the house was one that Jacqui had bought for me. And one my folks had bought for Tara.
So, at an unsociable hour this morning, I was up and pacing the streets in a largely fruitless hunt for Easter Eggs. I seeked them here, I seeked them there. Everyone had sold out, except the newsagent near the Workshop, who didn't sell them to begin with. Even the Green Grocer had sold out, despite having a blackboard outside advertising their stock.
I eventually had a sort of success in.. *shudder*.. A Tesco filling station. Ye Gods.
This is a shot of me at Earlham House, having just discovered the reality gap at the Green Grocer's, and pondering whether to wait nearly half an hour for the Co-op to open.
I didn't.

In 1564, Spanish explorers led by Miguel López de Legazpi sailed from New Spain (now Mexico), and arrived on the island of Cebu on February 13, 1565, establishing the first Spanish colony in the Philippines. Having heard of the rich resources in Manila from the natives, Legazpi dispatched two of his lieutenant-commanders, Martín de Goiti and Juan de Salcedo to explore the island of Luzon.
The Spaniards arrived on the island of Luzon in 1570. After quarrel and misunderstandings between the Islamic natives and the Spaniards, they fought for the control of the land and settlements. After several months of warfare, the natives were defeated, and the Spaniards made a peace pact with the tribal councils of Rajah Sulaiman III, Rajah Lakandula, and Rajah Matanda who handed over Manila to the Spaniards.
Legazpi declared the area of Manila as the new capital of the Spanish colony on June 24, 1571 because of its strategic location and rich resources. He also proclaimed the sovereignty of the Monarchy of Spain over the all the archipelago. King Philip II of Spain delighted at the new conquest achieved by Legazpi and his men, awarded the city a coat of arms and declaring it as: Ciudad Insigne y Siempre Leal (English: "Distinguished and Ever Loyal City"). Intramuros was settled and became the political, military and religious center of the Spanish Empire in Asia.
The planning for the city was commenced by Governor-General Santiago de Vera, and was approved by King Philip II's Royal Ordinance that was issued in San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Spain. The succeeding governor-general, Gómez Pérez Dasmariñas brought with him from Spain the royal instructions to carry into effect the said decree. Construction of the walls began on 1590 and continued under many governor-generals until 1872. Since the construction was carried on during different periods and often far apart, the walls were not built according to any uniform plan.
Gov. Juan de Silva executed certain work on the fortifications in 1609 which was improved by Juan Niño de Tabora in 1626, and by Diego Fajardo Chacón in 1644. The erection of the San Diego Bastion (Baluarte de San Diego) was also completed that year.

I didn't think it was a big deal. Just a small communications issue. I told them I'd take care of it. Everything would work out fine. I told them I knew sign language so it wouldn't really matter. They didn't listen. At least they let me keep it. I have it in a jar by the side of my bed. Really, the only drawback is that I can't taste my whiskey anymore.

hey,
don't get me wrong in misunderstandings, but I want to say something. I
don't mean to be a negative nancy or anything, and so this is the first time
I've addressed any member of the public/private persons I know of in life on
this issue, but I want you all to realize something: Some people, me
included, were born into a world where dudes and gals dressing in the style
this man's style is characteristic of, was a normal thing- if not THE NORM.
Yeah- and you all remember those shorts that men were asked to wear about by
fashion trends back then? the yellow ones with thick, white seams that had
an almost V shape on the sides of the thighs? The part of the thighs,
actually, which were almost the hip? yeah- the ones where, if your penis was
bigger than .02" in length at any time, it would basically be plainly
visible to everyone? and people wore those outside, you see- and well, i was
born in love with women immediately, you see- and that, to me, that trend,
was kinda a form of child abuse- and then you have douchey-looking
mc-douchey-looking non-douche (because George Harrison can NEVER be a
douche) (especially now dead), but ... you have these guys right? And I am
supposed to look up to these people? (think morgan freeman in batman dark
knight saying 'and your plan is to blackmail these people?') so... yeah...
all i am saying this for is for the reason to say, "Nobody has apologized to
me for this reality yet, bringing me into the world with this .... this....
utter, complete, shit. It is SHIT. All living before my life began are SHIT
for allowing it- unless like me, they too were born into SHIT like that
goddamn shirt and those fucked up glasses, and guys running about the
elementary school with yellow shorter-than-necessary shorts but NO WOMEN
doing it---- SHEESH. In fact, while we're witnessing this, can we not all
admit that A. it's OBVIOUS this stuff has caused me undue emotional harm and
B. it's a sign of my excellent breeding I can explain this and also not be a
convicted criminal- as it is my reality this SHIT- and C. Sorry about this,
but not as sorry as all of you alive before me will always be to me in my
heart, mind, thoughts, and imagination, forever.

While driving home from the chapel last week, I was praying the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary. My plan was to pray the Sorrowful Mysteries in the afternoon and the Glorious Mysteries in the evening before going to bed. For many years, I had simply prayed the five decades designated for the day in order to fulfill Our Lady’s request at Fatima that her children pray the Rosary every day for the Consecration of Russia and the peace of Christ in the world. At least I thought that was the nature of her request. More on that misunderstanding will be clarified momentarily.
Then, one evening in December, one of our parishioners in Southern California mentioned to me that he prays the whole Rosary every day because if Our Lady said that Francisco would go to Heaven only after praying many Rosaries, and he died at the tender age of ten, then how many more would we have to pray to get there! That struck a chord with me.
I now believe that it is good to pray the entire Rosary daily for three reasons.
Our Lady asked for the full Rosary
The first reason is that when the Virgin Mary asked us at Fatima to pray the Rosary every day, she was not asking for five decades. She was asking for fifteen. When Our Lady says “Pray the Rosary,” she is speaking of what has been termed her Psalter, a word referring to the Book of Psalms, which contains one hundred and fifty Psalms of David. From the time of St. Dominic, “Mary’s Psalter” was the 150 Hail Marys. In 1569 St. Pope Pius V, himself a Dominican, issued an apostolic letter establishing the fifteen-decades as the official Church-authorized Rosary.
Pope St. Pius V established the 15-decade Rosary in 1569
For some, if not many, it may seem like too much to ask, given so many other daily responsibilities, to pray the whole Rosary. They will say that even one of the Mysteries, that is, a set of five decades, is difficult.
I would respond that each one of us is awake at least fifteen hours of the day. Some are awake a few hours longer, but for the sake of argument, we will use the figure fifteen hours. Yes, it would be very nice to get nine hours of sleep at night! If each of us prayed one decade of the Rosary each waking hour, which amounts to five minutes out of every sixty of our day, we would pray the entire Rosary every day.
Oh sure, some days we could get tied up for two to three hours at a time at work and subsequently “fall behind” in this commitment. But then there is always the ride home, which for most people is more than five to ten minutes, so decades can be made up for in the drive. It does take a little bit of planning ahead and at times those unexpected circumstances do arise. Hard working mothers who are home with their children also face varying circumstances. But, as the old saying goes, “Where there is a will, there is a way.”
A special efficacy in praying the 15 decades
This leads to the second reason why I believe this is a very important commitment for us as Catholics to make. Our Lady said that she had obtained from God a special efficacy to be attached to the praying of the Rosary so that there was nothing that we could request from her that we could not obtain through the daily Rosary. If we believe our Mother when she speaks to us, then this statement alone should fill us with great confidence and the desire to ask Our Lady’s intercession for our spiritual and temporal welfare by praying the Rosary. It is like what Jesus said to His Apostles on the night before He died, “Whatever you ask for in My Name, it will be given to you.”
The Virgin Mary at Fatima was God’s last olive branch for peace in the world today. Is it any wonder that there is such an overlap between the generosity of Jesus and His Mother Mary? In fact, Jesus revealed to Sister Lucia in the 1930s that He wanted Mary’s Immaculate Heart to be honored alongside His, and hearts that love the same things share the same dispositions towards others. In fact, His request simply reiterated what Our Lady herself had already revealed on July 13, 1917: that God wants to establish devotion to her Immaculate Heart in the world.

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead"
I said to him
You can't always get what you want, no!

Question
Hi--
Not really a question--more of a correction. I saw that you told someone who asked about the origin of "You can't always get what you want" that it has no ties to Excelsior, Minnesota. Not so!
On 6/12/64, the Stones played a concert at Danceland in Excelsior, Minnesota during their first ever US tour. At the time they were a little-known band, performed poorly and drunkenly, and got booed off the stage.
During this visit (in fact, the next morning), Mick went into Bacon Drug Store, an Excelsior store with a soda fountain, to get a prescription filled. Jimmy Hutmaker, a.k.a. "Mr. Jimmy", a "local color" guy who had met Mick at the concert then night before, and who has some mental difficulties (although is pretty lucid most days--he still wanders the streets of Excelsior every day visiting with everyone he meets, he's now around 75), was in the store in line in front of Mick at the moment, ordering a cherry coke. Problem--they were out of cherry juice. So the guy behind the counter gave Mr. Jimmy a regular coke. Jimmy shrugged his shoulders, turned around to Mick, and commented that, "You can't always get what you want"--and a mega-hit was born.
This version of the song's origin is confirmed by both Mr. Jimmy and the pharmacist who made Jimmy the soda. The references in the song to Mr. Jimmy, Mick's prescription, a cherry coke, and others, are all believed to refer to this encounter. In fact, most people familiar with the story believe that there is no reference to Chelsea Drugstore in the song--it's just a misheard reference to Excelsior Drugstore (the middle two syllables of "Excelsior" sound a lot like "Chelsea", hence the misunderstanding).
If you're wanting to learn more, come visit Excelsior and do some research!

Nakhon Pathom is a small province located just 56 Km's. from Bangkok. The province features an ancient religious structure called Phra Pathom Chedi, the first religious landmark that signified the influx of Buddhism into Thailand. Nakhon Pathom is also renowned for its abundant fruits varieties and famous dishes. Phra Pathommachedi or Phra Pathom Chedi is a Stupa in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand. At 120.5 metres ( 395 ft ) it is the second tallest stupa in the world after Jetavanaramaya in Sri Lanka. The Stupa is located in the Wat Phra Pathommachedi Ratcha Wora Maha Wihan a temple in the town centre of Nakhon Pathom, Thailand.
The name Phra Pathommachedi means the first holy stupa, given by king Mongkut. Originally the Stupa named Phra Thom Chedi means the big stupa in ancient Khmer language or the royal stupa in Northern Thai language. One of the common misunderstandings about this stupa is that Phra Pathommachedi is the oldest and the first stupa in Suvarnabhumi, an ancient name of Southeast Asia. Modern Historians believe that the stupa was one of the principal stupas of ancient Nakhon Pathom, the largest settlement of Dvaravati culture in Nakhon Pathom area together with the nearby Phra Prathon Chedi during the 6th to the 8th centuries.
Nakhon Pathom was situated by the sea, the city prospered during the Dvaravati civilisation. According to archaeological findings, Nakhon Pathom was the first city to possess influences of Buddhism and Indian civilisations. From the Phra Pathom Chedi and other remains discovered in the city area, it is believed that the city was a centre of civilisation in that era. People of different races settled in Nakhon Pathom. However, a change in the course of the river caused a draught that forced the people to migrate and settle on the banks of river, and these communities developed into towns. The new town was called Nakhon Chaisi or Sirichai, leaving Nakhon Pathom deserted for hundreds of years until the reign of King Rama IV. While His Majesty was in monk hood, he travelled to Nakhon Pathom and found the Phra Pathom Chedi that he regarded as the largest pagoda of all.
When King Rama IV ascended to the throne, he commanded that a bell shaped Chedi be built to cover the former Chedi. The surrounding area was also renovated and improved. He also commanded that a water canal be dug to ease commuting, which was called Chedi Bucha canal. During the reign of King Rama V, the construction of railways to the south began, at that time Nakhon Pathom was still a heavily forested area. King Rama V also commanded that the town be relocated from Tambon Thana, Amphoe Nakhon Chaisi, to the Phra Pathom Chedi area as it used to be. Nakhon Pathom has been there ever since. During the reign of King Rama VI, a palace was built at Tambon Sanam Chan as a temporary residence on his travels and many roads were constructed. A large bridge was also built over the Chedi Bucha canal, which His Majesty named “Saphan Charoensattha”. Later, he commanded that the name of Nakhon Chaisi be changed to Nakhon Pathom, but the name of the prefecture was still called “Nakhon Chaisi” until the reign of King Rama VII when the calling of the prefecture was ended. Nakhon Chaisi is now one of the districts in Nakhon Pathom.
Nakhon Pathom covers an area of 2,168 square kilometres or 542,081.6 acres. It is divided into seven administrative districts or Amphoe, they are: Amphoe Muang Nakhon Pathom, Amphoe Buddhamonthon, Amphoe Sam Phran, Amphoe Nakhon Chaisi, Amphoe Bang Len, Amphoe Kamphaeng Saen, and Amphoe Don Toom. Most of the areas are plains with no mountainous land, plateau are found in the west east of Amphoe Muang and Amphoe Kamphaeng Saen. The plains along the Tha Cheen River (Nakhon Chaisi River) are the location of Amphoe Nakhon Chaisi, Amphoe Sam Phran, and Amphoe Bang Len. These fertile lands provide agricultural area for people, thus most of the residents earn their living from agriculture; plantations, farming, growing food crops, and fruit orchards. Moreover, Nakhon Pathom is well known for pomelo, some call the Nakhon Pathom the sweet pomelo town.
Sampran Riverside, Km. 32 Pet Kasem Highway, Sampran, Nakhon Pathom 73110, Thailand
About one hour drive from Bangkok is the Rose Garden and Cultural Centre. It is situated at Sampran in the Province of Nakhon Pathum. It is a 70 acre site designed to give you a full day out. There is so much to do here. The Restaurant sits on the lake and the food served here is first class you can eat what you like - until you are full, very good value if you are a big eater.The Rose Garden and restaurant were started over 40 years ago and has now included the Cultural Centre and show, a hotel and other restaurants and a spa. Tourist buses usually arrive around 2.0 pm in time for the Thai Cultural Village show at 2.45 pm.
This attraction is usually taken in along with the Damnoen Saduak Floating market trip which is around 1800 Baht by taxi from Bangkok, but do check first, prices do vary. But the Rose Garden is worth a trip on its own, because there is so much to get involved with during the day. In the mornings you can take part in the Living the Thai Culture, an art and craft activity and cost around 500 Baht per person. These included Dancing / Musical Instruments / Garland Making / Fruit Carving / Bamboo Dancing Rice Farming among others.
The Gardens have many exotic flowers and there are some traditional Thai houses. One is used for weddings and another used for a spa centre. Most people go for the Thai Cultural show, with highlights of Thai Martial Art display, and a Traditional Thai wedding display. There is a cast of about 120 people that take part in this display and it is well attended. It is very colourful and impressive to watch, in all around 40 minutes.
The police presence wasn’t insanely out-of-proportion, but it did betray a complete misunderstanding of this respectful, peaceful march which included people of all ages.

The "massacre of Gorla" or "little martyrs of Gorla" are the names under which it is known the result of an allied air raid that hit a primary school in Milan, October 20th, 1944, during the Second World War.
On that morning, 36 B-24 bombers of the 451º Bomb Group took off from Foggia, commanded by Colonel James B. Knapp, with the task of destroying the Breda factory in Sesto San Giovanni. Due to a misunderstanding, most of the bombs reached the urban district of Gorla in Milan. One of the bombs, fatally, fell in the central stairwell of the primary school "Francesco Crispi", reaching the underground shelter of the building and killing 184 children and the entire faculty.
On the ground where the primary school once was, granted by the City of Milan to the relatives of the victims, a monument was erected, called the "little martyrs of Gorla". It was created by sculptor Remo Brioschi and inaugurated on the third anniversary of the massacre.
In the crypt, in subsequent years were transferred the remains of the dead children and their teachers.
In memory.

La "strage di Gorla" o "piccoli martiri di Gorla" sono le denominazioni con cui vengono chiamate le conseguenza di un bombardamento aereo alleato che colpì una scuola elementare di Milano, il 20 ottobre 1944, durante la seconda guerra mondiale.
il mattino del 20 ottobre 1944, dall'aeroporto di Foggia decollarono i 36 bombardieri "B-24" del 451º Bomb Group, al comando del colonnello James B. Knapp, con il compito di distruggere gli stabilimenti della Breda di Sesto San Giovanni. In seguito ad un errore, la maggior parte delle bombe raggiunse il quartiere milanese di Gorla. Uno degli ordigni, fatalmente, centrò il vano scale della scuola elementare "Francesco Crispi", raggiungendo il rifugio sotterraneo dell'edificio e causando la morte di 184 bambini e dell'intero corpo docente.
Sul terreno dove sorgeva la scuola elementare, concesso dal Comune di Milano ai parenti delle vittime, venne innalzato il monumento ossario intitolato ai "Piccoli Martiri di Gorla", realizzato dallo scultore Remo Brioschi ed inaugurato nel terzo anniversario della strage.
Nella cripta, durante gli anni successivi vennero trasferite, a gruppi, le spoglie dei bambini morti a Gorla in seguito al bombardamento e dei loro insegnanti.
In memoria.
