Sea Voyages.........

The treasured sea, churning, calm and placid. A skyline ever more expansive, ever more aleatory...and somewhere they both meet. This rendezvous is am alchemy for love and romance. Painters spend hours to capture this beautiful scenery in their canvas, photographers travel miles to take the right picture, sailors find adventure here, while a fisherman earns his daily bread from here. An aged couple tries to recall their whole life that passed by in that expanse and the little ones would built their mansions by the sand. The oceans have experienced it all.....

In the noon the Sun colors the sea with Gold. The fisherman takes their boat into the sea to catch fish. The glorious waves whip at the fogyish rock, a newly wedded couple seek their love behind. Teenage girl play with these notorious waves; while the teenage boys love surfing the tides. On the other hand adventure enthusiasts dive deep inside the sea looking for treasure of various species of fishes and shells. And as the stars appear in the sky, a sailor shelves his compass inside. Soon the sun comes out and its all new all over again.

Life's little curve balls

It's funny how life throws little curve balls at us. They are usually pretty easy to handle although we may be left off balance for a short while as we catch/dodge/deal with them as they come. Sometimes we get lots of little ones chucked at once and that is quite unsettling and you wonder what the fuck it's all about and why we even bother. Of course occasionally the little curve ball us replaced with a bloody great medicine ball which completely flattens us and knocks us for six (or more). Thankfully for most people the medicine balls never come.

I guess life would be boring and we would struggle to develope if we didn't have our little curve balls every now and then. Unfortunately, whether they turn out for better or for worse, they still suck when they come :o(

LINCOLN, NEBRASKA—Part of the whole leaving-the-country thing is having to liquidate all our worldly possessions. I've spent much of my time these last few weeks selling off everything I possibly can on Craigslist: a dresser, a bed, my TV/sound system/Playstation 2/entertainment center combination, my fiance's engagement ring washer and dryer, and now, my beautiful 1999 Honda Civic. I didn't get quite what I wanted out of it, but I got enough that I could pay some bills and buy our plane tickets for Taiwan. Here's the ad:

Let me first say that I love this car and I'm completely heart-broken that I have to part with it. I just got a job working overseas for 2 years, though, and that's a little too long to let a car sit in storage, so I must sell it. Kelley Blue Book prices my vehicle at approximately $5,165, so I would like to get $5,000 out of it--I'm trying to pay for college, a wedding, and an overseas move--however, I am willing to negotiate a little bit.

This car had been listed at $6000 (because I accidentally looked at the wrong Kelley Blue Book entry--I put it down as Retail and not Private Seller), so this is the corrected posting--sorry!

Only two owners ever--the first was a professor who drove it just from home to his school, the second is me (no accidents or major issues)--so it's a safe vehicle. Wonderful for a first car.
