2012 - May God Bless Us All !

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Lady Gaga commenced a New Year. This is my first entry on the New Year so I try to make it perfect. Happy New Year to everyone and thank you for the emails and messages/text sent to me.



Start spreading the news, I’m leaving today
I want to be a part of it - new york, new york
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it - new york, new york

I wanna wake up in a city, that doesn’t sleep
And find I’m king of the hill - top of the heap

These little town blues, are melting away
I’ll make a brand new start of it - in old new york
If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere
It’s up to you - new york, new york

New york, new york
I want to wake up in a city, that never sleeps
And find I’m a number one top of the list, king of the hill
A number one

These little town blues, are melting away
I’m gonna make a brand new start of it - in old new york
And if I can make it there, I’m gonna make it anywhere

It up to you - new york new york

On the way to NYC.

Christmas Eve

I made spaghetti, a cake and banh tom chien. I watched the video to make sure that everything was set for the cake before baking. Don't have to cook anything for a few days just eat the left over which it is great, free time for shopping after Christmas. Now I am watching the movie Band of Brothers, it is about The story of Easy Company of the US Army 101st Airborne division and their mission in WWII Europe from Operation Overlord through V-J Day. World War II fatality statistics vary, estimates of total dead ranging from 50 million to over 70 million. 6 millions Jews were murdered in Nazi camps. United States lost 400.000, Soviet Union lost 110.000.000, Germany lost 4.200.000, United Kingdom lost 336.000, France 250.000...
"We would never enjoy the world without war" is it true?

Thinking, Drinking vodka...next will be the New Year than I will go to Paris then Thailand and VN. Que sera, que sera.

Christmas delivery: FedEx Guy Throwing My Computer Monitor

BE a good citizen, now you never know that you have been watched by million views like this Fedex guy. If he did not get fired he would be very embarrassed by his action. It will not be easy for him to find the next job.

"I want you to know that I was upset, embarrassed, and very sorry for our customer’s poor experience," said Matthew Thornton, a FedEx senior vice president. "We have met with the customer face to face and they already have a replacement monitor at no cost to them. They have accepted our apology and say they are fully satisfied with what we've done in response to this unacceptable delivery."
The clip has racked up more than 2 million views. In the video's description, the poster writes, "The sad part is that I was home at the time with the front door wide open. All he would have had to do was ring the bell on the gate. Now I have to return my monitor since it is broken." The footage appears to come from a surveillance camera.

There is no word on what sort of disciplinary action will be taken against the employee. However, a spokeswoman for the company told the U.K.'s Daily Mail, this won't be his best day.

You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice

McCain vs. Putin via Twitter

I think Putin was good during his term as president of Russia but now he wanted to come back again to bring Russia to go back the old day of Soviet Union. Putin is a patriot but a dictator leader, this is what I think...

Sen. John McCain has been having a little fun over Twitter with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, goading the Russian into responding to his mocking tweets.

Earlier this month, McCain, R-Ariz., an avid Twitter user, tweeted: “Dear Vlad, The #ArabSpring is coming to a neighborhood near you,” linking to a news article about the allegations of fraud after Russia’s parliamentary elections.

Last Saturday, McCain tweeted, “#ArabSpring comes Moscow ‘Russians rally vs Putin, election fraud,’” linking to a report on anti-government protests in Moscow.

Today, Putin responded, calling McCain, “nuts.”

“He has a lot of blood of peaceful civilians on his hands. He must relish and can’t live without the disgusting, repulsive scenes of the killing of Gadhafi,” Putin said, referring to McCain’s role as a pilot and prisoner of war in Vietnam, according to the Associated Press.

“Mr. McCain was captured in Vietnam and they kept him not just in prison, but in a pit for several years,” Putin added. “Anyone [in his place] would go nuts.”

McCain mocked Putin back, tweeting this morning, “Dear Vlad, is it something I said,” and taking to the Senate floor to read, for the record, Putin’s comments.

Chasing Freedom


Chasing Freedom (2004) by m0vietrailerpark

“Chasing Freedom” tells the story of a young Afghan woman (played by Layla Alizada) who is persecuted by the Taliban for running a school for young girls and the pro bono attorney (played by Juliette Lewis) who reluctantly takes on her asylum case after the woman is detained when she arrives at a U.S. airport in search of refuge.

The film was inspired by a real asylum case handled by a team of dedicated pro bono attorneys for the Human Rights First at Debevoise and Plimpton. It is a sobering depiction of the nearly insurmountable obstacles that asylum seekers face when they arrive in the United States.

Tombe la neige
Et mon cœur s'habille de noir
Ce soyeux cortège
Tout en larmes blanches
L'oiseau sur la branche
Pleure le sortilège

Tu ne viendras pas ce soir
Me crie mon désespoir
Mais tombe la neige
Impassible manège

Tombe la neige
Tu ne viendras pas ce soir
Tombe la neige
Tout est blanc de désespoir
Triste certitude
Le froid et l'absence
Cet odieux silence
Blanche solitude

Tu ne viendras pas ce soir
Me crie mon désespoir
Mais tombe la neige
Impassible manège
