New format, a new direction.  A new life?  We shall see…

I was sick the whole bloody weekend and
missed any opportunity I had to do my Critical Issues in Journalism Take home
Exam. Now it is due Tuesday afternoon, and I have done any of the three
assignments… and to top it off, my Wikipedia assignment and my advanced writing
assignment. Man I am not sleeping tonight… shit.

I was trying to drive home from Kowloon this morning and spent a good hour in traffic. I tried another tunnel;
the most expensive one, thinking that there would be less people cause the
other two were full, but hell, that was hard to get to. I need to stop driving
in the morning…

I hate this life sometimes. I just want get out and just scream… I want to
yell and fight. I want to stand up for what’s right…

and speaking of writing, I wrote a song today… sort of… no lyrics yet and
just came up with kinda crap melody. It is acoustic and has no words… we’ll
see what happens

Jonathan Out!

I have a fucking intense headache… and It doesn’t look like there is
any chance of it letting up.  I am in the middle of class and
there is nothing I can do about this pain that is fucking with me.

I am very tired, I am very hungry and I am pretty pissed off. 
Sigh I wish that I could be doing something else right now, but right
now I am stuck in this class room and I do not know what to do.

So far I have taken 4 Panadol ActiFasts in the span of 6 hours and
still I do not feel better.  I think this maybe can be atributed
to the fact that I do not have a jacket today and I was outside for a
small part of the time.  And now I think it is affecting what I do.

I went by to see the progress at the studio the other day, and It is
pretty cool.  So far the main and basic structure has been done,
and now the plastic covers for the cables have been done. 

It is great.. I am so excited.  there is still dust and all this
crap all over the floor, but it seems it is going pretty fast.  I
think within this week the wires and everything will be done, and maybe
after next week, we can start moving shit in.  Which will be super
exciting.

Alright… ahh someone just went and bought me a Chrysanthemum tea
Drink which makes the Panadol much easier to go down and be
absorbed.  I swallowed two with spit, and I don’t think they were
doing anything…

Hopefully I should be feeling better, so that when I get into the band room tonite, I will not suck…

Cheers,

Jonathan Out!

Helloo…
alright enough of the journalistic stuff and back to real writing.

Over the weekend I did some cool stuff. Instead of going to school on satruday morning, the class went to Cyberport in Aberdeen to a video studio. They did some news type programmeing. it was a full set and everything. Quite cool.

We were all here not just to look at a studio. If life were only that simple. we were there to do a mock standup for class. and it was completely nerver racking.

But I gotta tell you it was fun and I love being infront of a Camera.

Here is what happened… So we were supposed to be there prepared with a story we were all going to talk about. but somehow I missed that detail so I was completely unprepared. I was sweating and starting to freak out. Peple were going up and they were all doing great jobs, and I was like Damn I’m gonna suck I did nothing I have nothing.

I was going to have to think of it on the spot and that was scaring. It is not easy to think on your toes like that. You have to look convincing and look like you know what are talking about. But sigh… I had nothing I could talk about.

Someone had brought a news paper to the studio and I was flipping through it frantically to see if I could find something to talk about.

then I thought, what do I enjoy talking about. Music, Movies, films, sports… and I had my head eventually settled on two news items. Roy Kean leaving Manchester United or Harry Potter premiere. I settled on Harry Potter…

And my standup was done, as a reporter talking from the premiere redcarpet. I did the best to make it exciting… And I think I did ok. But not to sound insanely arrogant, I gotta say I love being infront of a camera. I couldn’t get used to looking into the Camera, but I still liked it.

What we did, was I told Jim, (my prof.) that I was going to talk about harry potter.. and then we did this whole moke thing. he asked me questions like a anchor would ask a on locaton reporter some questions.

It was fun. A DVD will be made of our screen tests, and based on how much I like you, you may see it.

English sport savours treble triumph

For English sports fans, Saturday, November 12 was a day like few
others. Not only were the England national rugby union, soccer, and
Great Britain rugby league teams all in action – itself a rare
coincidence – but they all won.

A familiar refrain is that England’s greatest contribution to all
three football codes was to invent them and then watch while the rest
of the world showed them how to play the games they’d created.

But, for one day at least, the patriotic English sports follower
could ignore the taunts and, if they had access to satellite
television, sit back and soak up the success.

Following a season where their cricketers had beat Australia to win
the Ashes, England’s world champion rugby union team defeated Australia
26-16 at Twickenham as the Wallabies suffered a record-equalling
seventh straight loss.

Meanwhile, in Geneva, England’s soccer side came back to beat
Argentina, one of the favourites for next year’s World Cup, 3-2 thanks
to two late goals from striker Michael Owen.

Capping it all-off, Great Britain – in a match they had to win to
keep their hopes of reaching the Tri-Nations tournament alive – beat
New Zealand 38-12 in Huddersfield having been an incredible 26-0 ahead
at half-time.

Although a predominately English side must still beat Australia to
qualify for the November 26 final, Britain coach Brian Noble
justifiably said after Saturday’s result. “We were terrific tonight.”

The England rugby union team were in a different position.

Since beating Australia in the 2003 World Cup final, they’d slipped
sharply from the summit and had won just four out of their previous 12
matches before Saturday’s fixture.

But they came good and England captain Martin Corry said: “Rarely do we deliver on great expectations but we did today.”

England-Argentina soccer matches became charged contests following
their 1966 World Cup quarter-final, where the South Americans’ captain
Antonio Rattin was sent-off.

England manager Alf Ramsey, whose side went on to win the tournament for the only time in history, branded Argentina “animals”.

But come the 1986 World Cup Diego Maradona’s ‘Hand of God’ goal
helped Argentina, who went on to beat West Germany in the final, knock
out England.

Then, in 1998, Owen made his name with a brilliant World Cup goal
against Argentina only for England to lose in a penalty shoot-out after
David Beckham had been sent-off.

However, three years ago Beckham’s penalty gave England a 1-0 World Cup win over Argentina.

“To come back twice was great,” said Owen after his latest exploits.
“Cracking excitement, you can see our fans going mad at the end.”

And what of the nation’s cricketers, once such an embarrassment it
was frequently suggested the phrase ‘England batting collapse’ was all
one word?

They too were in action on Saturday, where Pakistan raced to 161 for one on the opening day of the first Test in Multan.

But England, minus injured captain Michael Vaughan, fought back as the hosts slumped to 244 for six at stumps.

Could the day get any better for an Englishman?

Well seeing neighbours Scotland struggle, for most England fans, no
longer provokes widespread rejoicing although there remains a hard core
north of the border for whom England failure will always be welcomed.

But Saturday was not a great day for Scottish supporters, whose devotion to their teams has rarely been repaid by results.

In Glasgow, the soccer side drew 1-1 with the United States while in Edinburgh the rugby union team lost 23-19 to Argentina.

So guess what, I almost pulled an  all nighter last night cause, I suck as a writer.

Really, I went to this talk last Monday and we had to write about it
and hand it in today.  This perosn who I respect and have met on
many occasions, and somehow I couldnt’ figure out what to write about
what she was talking about.

this time around she spoke on the famed west Kowloon project, and the
lack of Culture in Hong Kong.  Now I totally agree with her. 
that hong Kong is losing it’s cultural identity and that is basically
what she wrote about.

If I can state it so clearly here, how come I couldn’t write a damn
think about it.  It was pretty annoying. I spent the good part of
my week trying to find an angle and I just couldn’t  In the midsts
of meeting my Professor for my final project and doing my two group
projects.  I couldn’t find anything.

So last night, I sat down at my desk and proceeded to try to write this
article. And I thought and I thought for a long time.  And I still
couldn’t find anything… Finally at about 1am I ended up writing
exactly what she said.  Hong Kong lacks culture and and doesn’t
need a West Kowloon to have it.

That was it, It was over in two hours and before I knew it… I was in
bed. What the hell happened in the week that I attempted to write
it.  Don’t know.  I think I owe this to the fact that this
person spoke on her topic but she also was all over the place and never
staying on one topic for longer than the one powerpoint slide.

In the end it became so broad of a talk that there was no way to really pin point her specific points… and that made it hard.

I guess this is one of those things in Journalims, you either get it or you don’t.  There’s no middle ground.

Man I am hella tired…

I need sleep and I am in a class right now on a  Saturday
morning… I have not had a good day for weeks now.  Since school
started I have been hounded by work and I just have not really slowed
down and rested.

I am so glad that atleast I have a few days during reading week in
Beijing, but once I got back I got straight back to work, and that was
it.

Recently, I’ve been getting more pressure from me mum and pa to just do
well, and not screw up…  It scares me just cause I guess I got a
reputation to keep.  Well their reputation… But so far I’m ok
with that…

On some days it does get to me and it puts me on the brink but I
usually do fine afterwards.  I was pushed to the brink last night,
but I’m ok now…

just tired.. I was late with my homeowork last night and I kinda got yelled at today in class.

I was asked to read my script in class today and it was pretty
crap.  He said I had the right idea, but it was ok… but still I
was not happy with it, and I just didn’t nail it well..

I don’t think i am well cut out for pre written work.  I am good
with improvisation, and commentary.  I can think off the cuff more
than I can just write and read my own script.  Man I really have
to work harder next semester so that I can get good. Or else I am going
to fuck up this course.

I have to do well for my feature too.  And that will be cool.  Atleast I get to do it on a subject that is cool…

Triad Films.  I get to combine the two coolest aspects about Hong
Kong’s culture, and I am pretty excited about that… Now I just have
to do a good job…

Man I love watching fights happen… Once I see a fight going on, I am mesmerized.

Today I am coming home from a late dinner and some moving stuff from my
old home, and I get this hear this screaming and a crowd of people
hanging out by my building.

You gotta understand there are bunch of old drug addicts with who love
dogs who usually hang out at the base of my apartment, who I have grown
quite fond of over my stay in Wan Chai.

Anyway, so there are more people than normal this time around and I’m
like what?  So I go check it out.  There by the mane road, I
hear yelling and screaming, but I don’t see anything.

Then I see this weird gweiloh, on the phone walking holding a camera
tripod.  And I was like right, crazy white guy near my
house.  That is just what I need.

So as I look on, I’m like wait, he’s yelling at some guy he’s
following… Soon as he approaches me and the rest of the crowd, he
starts yelling and pointing at some guy.  We see he’s on the
phone, and I presume he’s talking to the police, cause he’s yelling at
the dude. “You’re going to fucking Jail” over and over again.

Now the guy looks severely pissed.  Not the drunk kind but still
he was mad… So he takes after the guy and the crown disperses leaving
the lone guy who is being chased.

Anyway… so he continues to yell his treat and it starts getting exciting cause Crazy white guys is still at it.

So he ends up running towards the Chinese guy holding his tripod. 
Then somehow in a pure moment of brilliance, the Chinese guy turns
around and the White dude… stops.  His friends, presumeably, the
rest of the drug addicts kinda stare him down… No fighting, but the
“victim” as I see it (gotta be positive towards my people), starts to
walk toward him, and all of a sudden, Crazy white dude backs away.

And this white guy is huge.  Bald and just a large man.  This
Brad Pitt tall, and The Rock fit… not a small guy, yet little drug
addicted China man scares him….

He conitunes to yell his threat and Chinese dude walks away.  White guy makes chase.

They get up to the MTR station, and he’s telling the Police where they
are and he’s chasing him.  And the last I saw… The Chinese made
the same move and the White dude just kinda crossed the road and
continued to yell his threat.

I had to come home to do my homework, but before I began I had to write this first since it was so fresh…

Now off to reporting on Bart Simpson being shown in Arabic…

Cheers

Jonathan Out!

Ahhh Much better… Finally.

Man Utd 1-0 Chelsea

More Old Trafford photos Darren Fletcher’s first-half header ensured Manchester United ended Chelsea’s 40-match league unbeaten run. Fletcher appeared to be trying to head the ball back across the goal, but his effort looped inside the far post. Early in the second half Ruud van Nistelrooy should have made the game safe but he blazed his shot over. His miss meant United had to live on their nerves as Chelsea desperately sought the equaliser and Edwin van der Sar bravely denied Frank Lampard. The win saw United climb six places to third, leaving them 10 points behind Chelsea, with a game in hand on the league leaders. On the 19th anniversary of his appointment as United manager the win provided Sir Alex Ferguson with something to celebrate in what has been a miserable week. In that time United have been humbled by Middlesbrough, have lost to Lille in the Champions League and Roy Keane has questioned the calibre of some of the club’s recent signings. Fletcher was one of the players singled out by Keane for criticism but, with the Irishman watching from the stands, the young Scot produced a storming performance. It was his cross that provided that gilt-edged chance for Van Nistelrooy in the second half when the Dutchman thrashed his shot over the bar. Late on Wayne Rooney might have snatched a second goal for United, but his goalbound shot was deflected for a corner by Paulo Ferreira. This was only the second Premiership defeat Chelsea have suffered under Mourinho since he took over at Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2004. Following their midweek Champions League defeat to Real Betis it is the first time Chelsea have lost two league games in a row under their Portuguese manager. Ten minutes into the second half Mourinho replaced Michael Essien with Eidur Gudjohnsen to try to provide Didier Drogba more support. Gudjohnsen’s introduction prompted Chelsea to lay siege to the United goal for the rest of the half. The Icelandic striker quickly made an impact, passing to Damien Duff who, with the goal at his mercy, miscued his shot. Van der Sar’s courageous block to thwart Lampard – the Dutchman threw himself at the Chelsea midfielder’s feet – was the save of the game. If the game’s closing stages were frenetic, then its opening exchanges were equally frantic. Drogba tried to lob Van der Sar but the Chelsea striker was unable to get enough power in his shot. Asier Del Horno also had a glimpse of the United goal, only to volley wide a Joe Cole free-kick. In the opening half-hour Ronaldo had a succession of opportunities to cross from the left, each time failing to provide a worthwhile delivery. But he finally got his angles correct to pick out Fletcher at the far post. Fletcher headed the ball back across goal and his flighted effort took on an altogether more deadly trajectory floating over John Terry and landing in the back of the net.
