if only my kids know how lucky they are. their apathy is so deep-rooted that even if i show them your well-taken shots, it would be taken as mere urban legend.
The Pampered The television set, the movies and the myriad conveniences and distractions of modern life all lure our young people away from the strenuous physical activity which is the basis of fitness in youth and in later life. – President John F. Kennedy
Junior needs the car tonight (His date’s a mile away). Sister’s staying home from school (It’s going to snow today).
Billy’s sprawling by the set, Shirley’s by the phone, Eddie’s on his second Coke, Jean, her second cone
Soft and white the daily bread, Crustless for our youth, Gooey-smooth the caramel For tender tooth.
Sheltered from the elements, Shielded from the air, Watch them palely loitering On sofa, bed, and chair :
Children of a way of life, American, unique, Where Comfort is bequeathing them The freedom to be weak.
This blog will present stories related to my personal life in US or China. So it is a look at China from the west and a look at US from the east.A negative story in life is absolutely a "tip" to better life to me.
I am a serious writer. If it doesn't make sense, just email me. Thank you!
