It takes two to reach a point

What makes life tough? When you don't get something you think you deserve. As I age, I fear more and more things. I want less and less. But, it turns out my life becomes tougher and tougher. I don't know why. And I don't know if I will figure it out one day. Some unwelcome events came to visit me these days. I am like a scared child who just wants to escape from these events and be alone. I could not justify these events. But, today, when I heard someone said it takes two to reach a point. I suddenly understood. It takes two to make something tough or smooth. You give and take. But when only one gives and one stops giving, it never been able to reach that point.

It is the second time in this month. First time was on Martin Luthur King Jr. day. At that time, the rate got cut by .75%. This afternoon, the rate got cut second time. This time, the cut rate is a half percentage.

The key Federal Funds interest rate now stands at 3 percent. The new low.

Qtrax - free music download service

What a wonderfu day it will be if everyone can download music legally and freely from internet? In addition, no ads. Nice. Qtrax announced 75% of the big brands have agreed to provide contents to Qtrax a month ago. But, today, big 4, BMC, Universal, Sony, and Warner, together denied that they had any deals with Qtrax. It seems we have a long way to go before we can have free and legal music downloads.

Guitar Hero 2 - Freebird

Band: Lynrd Skynrd

My all time favorite. I post this in memory of yesterday, the day Totof passed Freebird in expert. I don't have the picture to show his success. So, I went to YouTube to find a similar match.

Leroy Jenkins

A classic to the World of Warcraft fans

Any one knows the world of warcraft should hear this name - Leroy Jenkins. For those who has no ideas about this video, let me give you a brief. This group was going to enter a room filled with dragon eggs. These eggs were highly sensitive. They would hatch immediately when they were touched. All magics would be invalid (not able to cast) in this room (maybe due to the presence of the dragons). This group had failed before. So, before their second attempt, the leader gathered the team in front the room and constructed a nice strategy. Through the conversation, you also hear someone jumping with statistics (see how serious these people are). This group planned well before they acted. But, a person named Leroy Jenkins destroyed all the plan because of a chicken sandwich. The yell, Leroy Jenkins, made this joke classic.
