Now, having a blog is like getting married.
At first you're all exited over it,
then before you know it,
you're hardly perfroming your task over it,
you just constantly visiting.
And finally you're blog are counted as lucky if you perform your duty over it once a month.
Ok, I admit, I was never married( duh! ); hence, I do not know what I was talking about..
But from what I heard, I figure they're pretty much the same.
What do couples do when their marriage is going downhill?
As the great wizard of television would answer us,
they visit the marriage consultant.
Now, who in the right mind with advice anyone to go visit marriage consultant for blog trouble?
The answer still lies with the great wizard, television the square,
as we have seen many times the standard answer from marriage consultant is usually "spice it up". So, why pay the money to see consultant when you get the answer for free?
Hence here comes "the word of the day".
This is meant to be as a topic to perform the regular task while learning some good word. Blog Five!
Today's word is: euphemism
euphemism means a substitution of a phrase or expression.
ie.
1. "I need to take a nature call for my quick bio requirement." is a euphemism for "I need to take a leak", which is a euphemism for "I need to pee at that bush over there". (heh, pee at the bush)
2. With a pervertic mind, a person can make almost all of everyday saying into a euphemism of sex-related expression, although that would occur natually without a pervertic mind if a person has trouble at limiting the context of his/her words.
Enjoy~
People often ask me:
"Mark, how do you stay so psyched so often over the long (and rigid) hours of car-riding or car-driving?"
Here comes the answer to your prayers, allow me to introduce
"Mark's Van-SF Get Psyched Mix!!!"
As many of you know, the idea of "Get Psyched Mix" originated from a charactor named Barney from a sitcom show called "How I met your mother"
Hence as a tribute to Him and the show, I had dedicate the first song of my first get psyched mix series to the awsome song of his picking.
Now, be prepared for the Psych-sensation of your LIFE!!
(the real sensation will occur,
right after i figure out the music player play-list code.
In the meanwhile, enjoy the song: 500 miles)

couple extra points about my get psyched mix:
- my basic standard for a song to be defined as psyched is that it must rise within 10 second the song started.
- the first and second song doesn't seem to connect as well in comparison with others, which is unfortunate since i insist "Shoot through the heart" (nick named) to be the first song
- "我要飛" start it's psych-ness at the 9th second, which let it barely make the list.
- I personally believe 張震嶽 has tons of other psyched songs; however, I was only very familiar with these two at the moment.
- the three Utada Hikaru songs are in truth, only "mini-psyched". To my defence,in my perspective, they have similar impact as other songs, if not more.
- the song "Dani California" plays its ironic side on all of us since half the time when this song is played, we are, in fact, not in California.
- now, most of us will know that "Trip" is in fact, not psyched, but a love song. I made this mistake at 3 am when I just figure the group Hedley yell through most of their songs, and forgot the fact that they are capable of yelling slowly to produce a love song. The immediate solution is to replace this song with Hedley's "321" right after I come back to Vancouver
- originally "Best damn thing" was to be replaced by "Girlfriend". However, duiny request the usuage of "Girlfriend", and leave me with "Best damn Thing", which is just as psyched.
- "Scottie doesn't know" is easily considered the most psyched song through out the mix.
- green day...... well, you know it, green day is a must
Coming soon:
"The sudden finish of a Get Pscyhed Mix will leave people an emptiness feeling. A feeling of unwilling to end and the urge to continue. It's like being push to the top of the rollar coaster and suddenly there's no track, and all you're facing now is, a cliff. Will, worry not, I had personally prepare a smooth tracks for my fellow get psychers not to go cold turkey. Introducing, the 'Get Calm Mix~'."
