early 1900's

Breakfast at Tiffany's by Capote, All the men are sad, The Great Gatsby and The curious case of Benjamin Button by Scott Fitzgerald.

I had no interest in the works of this time called "Lost Generation." But maybe it was just a silly prejudice coming from my ignorance. Once you get to know the background of this time, those books would be worth much more. It could apply to any kind of art works such as movies, music, paintings, and more. For example, if you know the background of the book, you would see different aspects of the story and that would give you better understanding of the story. I have ignored art history, music history, and all kinds of history classes in college, but now I can see how much they are interesting and important, and regret that I didn't take classes seriously.

Full of Life!

I've been thinking of what the happy life is since I saw the video uploaded on the last post. The guy with curly blond hair, I know him. He is a very happy person. At least he looks so to most people I know. He has a great sense of humor and widely-open mind. He is always laughing and do the silly stuff with a serious face. He takes everything positive. I don't know. Maybe his mind is just so free. There seems to be nothing that would keep him from anything. Thinking of what he has been through, I feel like I can do anything. In his video, M.I.A.'s Paper Planes is used as back music, and actually the song is used in the movie Slumdog Millionaire. I took a peek at the trailer and seemed like a great movie. Something not related to our daily life. Something we could only imagine if we choose so. And something we could learn from a lot. The song, the video, the movie. I have some up-coming strong feeling for life. For happy life. It's just a matter of time to get the obscure imagery into shape.

Uploading Pictures and Lamebook

I've been having a hard time to upload pictures on the blog. It says the capacity is taken up to maximum, but I have uploaded only few pics so far. How does it happen? Does anyone know?

And recently I've been into this website called Lamebook too much. It's hilarious. Some article bring good laughs. However, it also shows too stupid things or not appropriate jokes and pics, which I don't agree with. It shows unawareness of being in public and stupidness of American youths nowadays. I'm amazed that so many English-as-first-language people cannot spell correctly. Many cross a line because of their lack of conscience. Lamebook is warning us the profound social problems which is considered getting worse.
