Unsatisfied with the current state of poetry and the rules enforced on us, I've invented my own form of poetry: Expressive verse. (The word "form" being misleading because it's actually the lack of form - strict form being replaced with the natural expression of the soul.) You can read about it in my blog. Don't forget to check out "Springtime for Hitler" while your at it!

I have finally uploaded my critque of the new ISU firgure skating judging system. I wanted to get someone who had more knowledge about figure skating to read it over since I don't even follow figure skating that much and only wrote this in response to what I saw during the 2010 Olympic season and the following World games, but the person I asked to do it didn't respond, so I guess what I have will have to do. I think the gist of my qualms with the new system is adequately conveyed even if I was a bit off on some specific facts a more seasoned figure skating fan would have had more precision on. The critique can be found in the "Writing by Me" section.

Sun, Nov, 07, 2010
I uploaded a poem called "Sim World" in the "Writing by Me" section. I don't know how good it is, but I really like it. It's kind of cute. Yeah, I still need to upload a bunch of stuff and blog topics I said I would. I am notorious for putting things off for long long periods of time. :S

Tues, Sept, 14, 2010
As stated in the "What I Am Doing Right Now" section, I won't be able to update my site as often as I have school. Again I know millions of people out there depend on my site for the meaning of their existence, but they will just have to hold on tight and just check for weekly rather than daily updates (or perhaps monthly updates as I am a terrible procrastinator; I am writing this as procrastination from doing other work infact.) Sorry. Look forward to my scathing critique of the new ISU judging system which cost Plushenko a second Olympic gold medal which will be uploaded as soon as possible.

I have finally posted my video game review of Final Fantasy XIII. See my thoughts on the game in the blog section of my website, Lawrence-Lai.ca!

Mon, Sept, 6, 2010
I have finally added music to my site. All of it is from Final Fantasy VII and VIII. The music from these two games are so artistic and georgeous. I feel the music in the FF series has sort of gone downhil from music that is artistic and beautiful and music that really had something to say to music that is now just there for the sake being background music (though Leona Lewis' song, 'My Hands,' for FFXIII was quite an apt fit.) Check out my selected compositional favorites for FFVII and FFVIII by using the drop-down menu for 'Favorites' and then selecting 'Music.'

Lawrence-Lai.ca is back! Yay! And not on Wordpress but on Weebly. I gave up my plans to have two identical websites - one using Wordpress and one using Weebly. Wordpress was too confusing. Now there is only Lawrence-Lai.ca on Weebly and Lawrence-Lai.weebly.com redirects there. But I finally feel like I have a whole website now that I have a website that is fully created with its own domain name. Yay!

Sat, Aug, 29, 2010
Lawrence-Lai.ca has been moved :(. The site using the domain name Lawrence-Lai.ca has now been moved to Lawrence-Lai.weebly.com! Lawrence-lai.ca will be turned into a site with identical content to Lawrence-Lai.weebly.com but will use Wordpress as the website creation platform rather than Weebly. And then I can give review about the pros and cons of each website building tool and the ease of use for beginner website creators and bloggers like me who don't want to learn html code or do the major designing of the site (thought I do have many design ideas I'd like to apply with the tools these platforms have given me.) Stay tuned for more updates concerning Lawrence-Lai.ca and Lawerence-Lai.weebly.com! (I apologize to all my fans out there in cyberspace if this is confusing at all.)

Lawrence-Lai.ca is officially indexed by google today! Yay! Only the blog is indexed but atleast people can find the page if they type the domain name into search. It's definitely a good start and an improvement from not even being able to find my own website using google lol.

Tuesday, July, 27, 2010
Lawrence-Lai.ca is officially launched today! Yay! (Just this morning infact. Not that anyone cares at this point lol.)

Sun, Jan, 1 2012
I plan to add many more pictures to the gallery and a comments section as well. I'm really really slow at doing things so this might take me a while but I'm definitely working on it lol.

I'll also try to uplaod the many pictures I took from my travels to Europe in my blog and also talk about my experience there.

I have finished my review of FF13, my rant about society's professed love, but actual hatred of new ideas, and finished part one of my two part look at classical genius verus society's new definiton of genius - the high IQ genius. I will upload these all very soon. Right now I am working on an extremely controversial (it shouldn't be controversial because it's only about figure skating but people will make it controversial) article about why I think Kim-Yu-Na is ovverrated, why I think Mao Asada was undercompensated, why I think Plushenko should have got gold over Lysaseck, and a scathing critique about problems with the new ISU firgure skating judging/scoring system and my recommendations on rectifying them.

Tuesday, July, 27, 2010
My next blogs will surround the contradictory hatred of new ideas that society seems to have adopted, classical genius vs. this new brand of high IQ genius, and perhaps a review of Final Fantasy 13 (not my favorite Final Fantasy.)

Sun, Jan, 8, 2012
UGH, I start school again tomorrow. WHHYYY?!?!?

Thu, Jul, 21, 2011
I'm currently getting ready to go to Spain. It will be my first time in Europe and my first time outside North America!

Back to School :(
It's back to school now so I am gonna be swamped with work. I apologize to my millions of loyal website viewers who depend on my site as their sole source of happiness in life. I will probably only be able to blog once a week, but will try to get my skating article up which excoriates the new ISU judging system which robbed Plushenko of his second olympic gold, and cost Mao Asada much needed recognition as well.
I hope I can get it up soon...I just need to find someone who knows a lot about skating to read it over for factual errors and maybe edit it too if possible.

Oh yes, and I still haven't made it through John Milton's "Paradise Lost"!

Sat, Aug, 28, 2010
I am slowly getting through John Milton's Paradise Lost (it's even difficult to get through on as an audiobook, I have no idea how anyone could do it actually using their eyes and brain.) I also have no idea what the hell is going on within the poem/story. The language is so dense and so difficult to grasp/comprehend that I don't even bother trying to decipher what's going on which would take interpreting almost every line (forget that!) I rather just not know what's going on.

I have, however made it to Book 7 of this twelve book epic poem which is quite good for someone like me who is illiterate. Okay, I'm not illiterate, but I read about as much as someone who is illiterate lol, atleast out of school that is lol :D.

Right now I am trying to get some reading in before school starts. I hate reading but I want the information and content and to have read certain pieces of work. I always check out tonnes of books from the library only to never read them and my only chance of finishing a book is buying so it is always lying around and I have infinite amounts of time to get around to it.

For example, I put on hold a book called 'Flatland' a long time ago because I thought it would be interesting at the time, but by the time the hold finally got to me, I wasn't even interested in the book anymore, but since it is such a hard book to attain, I checked it out anyway, so now I just have this book lying around that I am not even gonna read and it will be a drag having to make sure it's not overdue.

My new book that I am interested in that I will likely never read/get through is John Milton's 'Paradise Lost.' Apparently it is available as an audio book from the library's website so I can just listen to it, perhaps on my computer or iPod, instead of actually having to read it. Cuz let's face the facts: reading sucks!
