Hey guys, this is an odd question, but I figure you can answer it best. I'm 16 (amost 17) years old, going into 11th grade, and it's about time to figure out what I "want to be when I grow up." I have a little bit of web design and programming experience, am VERY good with computers (making them do things, fixing them), and have done a bunch of stuff in linux (compiled a kernel, yadda yadda). I just like being around computers, and discussing them. What kind of job do I want?! Have any of you guys seen The Screensavers on TechTV, where they just research new programs, help people fix their computers, and talk about computing news and new hardware? I think that would be the perfect job for me, but that's shooting a big high... Help! What should I look for? 2. was six years old when my father bought me a home computer. It was Commodore 64, the legendary thing. I mostly played games with it. Sometimes my father typed in some programs from computer books, and I was thrilled to try them. When I got bored to just playing, I began to write programs of my own. It required quite a lot of concentration and nerves, and usually I never finished my programs. At times my parents tried to cut down the time I spent with the computer. Some days I woke up, turned the computer on, and sat next to it until it was evening (I didn't even bother to change my pyjamas to day clothes). But on the other hand, my parents said that I seldom complained about dullness. The computer always kept me entertained. In addition, I think that my English skills are very much derived from it. Sometimes it was necessary to read a manual of few hundred pages to completely understand how to play some complicated game. Also much of the computer programming literature is available in English only. And what comes to future, I expect a computer-related career. All in all, I think that the computer has been a very significant thing in my life. 3.And now we have this wonderful, versatile machine and a word processor that keeps writers sane, more or less. Certainly for a writer it is -- to borrow from the younger generation -- awesome! I go merrily along, typing thoughts, having occasional inspirations, throwing them out, retyping them, being sure there are no split infinitives, counting the words, adding some more, moving them around. In fact, I have moved this paragraph three times and may decide yet that it belongs someplace else. And when I need to know a date, I switch over to the Web and ask Google. When I need to know the history of pencils, I ask Google. When I need to know who said what in Congress, I ask Google. Google knows everything. Google is at the moment, the leading search engine. E-mail is a gem. It keeps scattered families in touch. I check my e-mail in the morning before I have my coffee to see what my kids are doing. E-mail connects the whole world. For a little while I was corresponding with a person in Scotland. I had no idea whether it was a man or woman, but he/she was quite surprised to learn that Colorado was part desert. Nothing is perfect, including computers. But I find myself agreeing with Marshall McLuhan that, "The computer is by all odds the most extraordinary of the technological clothing ever devised by man. Beside it the wheel is a mere hula hoop." 4.My Family My Family Originally uploaded by mrswonderful. One of the fabulous things about "getting things done" and decluttered is that you run across old photos. I love these people. I am not sure who they are exactly. But they are my people. I think I know, and there is someone still alive who is in the photo so he might know. But what a grand mystery... what a wonderful day that must have been, and what is behind all those different expressions? Which one would die too young, which one would die an old lady who "bequeathed" her 150 Harlequin romance novels to me during the summer I had surgery and was on crutches? I love this photo, and these people. 5. The Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people and is when all family members get together, just like Christmas in the West. All people living away from home go back, becoming the busiest time for transportation systems of about half a month from the Spring Festival. Airports, railway stations and long-distance bus stations are crowded with home returnees. The lively atmosphere not only fills every household, but permeates to streets and lanes. A series of activities such as lion dancing, dragon lantern dancing, lantern festivals and temple fairs will be held for days. The Spring Festival then comes to an end when the Lantern Festival is finished. China has 56 ethnic groups. Minorities celebrate their Spring Festival almost the same day as the Han people, and they have different customs Chinese traditional holidays: Celebration of the Dragon Boat Festival Origin of the Dragon Boat Festival Officially on falling on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the Dragon Boat Festival is also known as Double Fifth Day. While many stories regarding its origin abound, the most popular and widely accepted version regards Qu Yuan, a minister during the Warring States Period (475 - 221 BC) Legend of the Dragon Boat Festival's Origin At the end of the Zhou Dynasty, the area we now know as China had fallen into a state of fragmentation and conflict. While the Zhou dynasty had ruled for several centuries, several other states, originally feudal domains, tried to carve out their own kingdoms. The state of Qin would eventually emerge the victor and unify all of China under one rule for the first time in history. Qu Yuan served as minister to the Zhou Emperor. A wise and articulate man, he was loved by the common people. He did much to fight against the rampant corruption that plagued the court-- thereby earning the envy and fear of other officials. Therefore, when he urged the emperor to avoid conflict with the Qin Kingdom, the officials pressured the Emperor to have him removed from service. In exile, he traveled, taught and wrote for several years. Hearing that the Zhou had been defeated by the Qin, he fell into despair and threw himself into the Milou River. His last poem reads: Many a heavy sigh I have in my despair, Grieving that I was born in such an unlucky time. I yoked a team of jade dragons to a phoenix chariot, And waited for the wind to come, to sour up on my journey As he was so loved by the people, fishermen rushed out in long boats, beating drums to scare the fish away, and throwing zong zi into the water to feed braver fish so that they would not eat Qu Yuan's body. The Modern Dragon Boat Festival Starting from that time to this day, people commemorate Qu Yuan through Dragon Boat Races, eating zong zi, and several other activities, on the anniversary of his death: the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Dragon Boat races are the most exciting part of the festival, drawing crowds of spectators. Dragon Boats are generally brightly painted and decorated canoes. Ranging anywhere from 40 to 100 feet in length, their heads are shaped like open-mouthed dragons, while the sterns end with a scaly tail. Depending on the length, up to 80 rowers can power the boat. A drummer and flag-catcher stand at the front of the boat. Before a dragon boat enters competition, it must be "brought to life" by painting the eyes in a sacred ceremony. Races can have any number of boats competing, with the winner being the first team to grab a flag at the end of the course. Annual races take place all over China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and other overseas Chinese communities. Zong Zi The traditional food for the Dragon Boat Festival, Zong zi is a glutinous rice ball, with a filling, wrapped in corn leaves. The fillings can be egg, beans, dates, fruits, sweet potato, walnuts, mushrooms, meat, or a combination of them. They are generally steamed. Talisman and Charms Another aspect of the Double Fifth Day is the timing: at the beginning of summer, when diseases are likely to strike, people also wear talisman to fend off evil spirits. They may hang the picture of Zhong Kui, guardian against evil spirits, on the door of their homes, as well. Adults may drink Xiong Huang Wine, and children carry fragrant silk pouches, all of which can prevent evil. It is said that if you can balance a raw egg on its end at exactly noon on Double Fifth Day, the rest of the year will be lucky.
