This weekend while running errands around Chinatown NYC, I was fortunate enough to see the Lion Dances celebrating Chinese New Year. I must admit I miss the fireworks that went on when I was a child, before they were banned by the city. I remember the loud bangs and people's excitement but the lion dances are still fun and full of wonder. They come store to store bringing good luck for the New Year!
Hopefully a good New Year it will be!
It's been a crazy couple of months, and I thought I'd post so as not to seem like I perished in a blaze or anything like that. I'm very much still kicking and playing flip flop with various temp jobs and internships just to land that full time gig!
After watching the State of the Union address, with Barack trying to be hopeful for the future, I can see that his demeanor has changed to a more cautious mood towards his fellow Americans. I can't say I blame him nor can I say that I've ever had full confidence that he will make things better. I remember the election campaign when everyone had such high hopes and friends would look at me incredulously when I said I was not a Barack fan. (Nor a McCain fan either) They boosted about saving the economy, pulling out the troops, and reforming health care. Yet I had failed to see a plan of action to any of these, from both men. And after a year, more and more Americans started to loose their confidence in Obama's administration. Poor guy. He's inherited a lot of the burden that was leftover. I don't blame him not having reforms so quickly. But I do blame his overbearing confidence during his campaign, steering everyone with such unrealistic exceptions. That's what I have to say for the matter since, I've never had any sort of national crisis effect me more then this.
