Two fortune cookie quotes:
luck is coming your way
don't let friends impose on you
My comment: not true and no comment
Just like some Chinese dishes were invented by people in America, I believe fortune cookies were invented in America. Acutally I am not sure, but it could be true.
The Chinese built the railroads in California during the 19th century.
Sometimes I feel like a chinese railroad worker in the 21st century.

Thomas Carlyle quote
Here is my once a day quote. I am getting a little tired of this once a day quote thing, but I will keep going.
Thomas Carlyle is an historian. He said: "a stammering man is never a worthless one...It is an excess of delicacy, excess of sensibility to the presence of his fellow-creature, that makes his stammer."
My comment: good quote, I always wondered why I DON'T STUTTER when I am ALONE and talking to myself???

Nobody showed up at the meeting tonight
I am disappointed, but I was not surprised.
Nobody showed at the meeting tonight. What do I say, the East Bay chapter of the NSA is not doing well (nobody shows up).
Maybe I will call a few people and see what's up.
I think I will start becoming a part time vegetarian, it is too hard to be a full time vegetarian. So 50% of the time, eating meat is okay, but try to eat no meat the other 50% of the time.

famous people who stutter
Because this is a stutterer's jouranl, I should mention that Winston Churchill and James Earl Jones were mentioned at TM training.
James Earl Jones does TV commercials and he is of course famous for doing the voice of Darth Vader in the Star Wars movie. He has a book called Voices and Silences. That would be a book on my future readings list. Winston Churchill is a famous speaker, known for his speech on the Iron Curtain and for rallying the British during WWII.
There is some dispute whether Churchill was really a stutterer. Because how can he be a great public speaker if he stutters? I don't know because I never heard Churchill speak, but definitely check out www.stuttersfa.org and http://www.stuttersfa.org/celebrit.htm.

my so called stuttering life and I can't turn back the hands of time
A stutterer's journal is about my life. My life is not just stuttering, but my life is pretty sad and really boring. Stuttering is one of my ten biggest problems, but it is not my biggest problem. I guess my biggest problem is facing my own future and forgetting about the past. My biggest problem is that I cannot turn back the hands of time. I like to think about the past and see how much I can remember. I dream about lots of people in my dreams, but when I wake up, I remember very little about my dream. I wish I remember more about my dreams.
Everyday when I wake up, I have to face the reality and me. I look in the mirror and see me and remember the past. I really don't know what to do, I wish I had amnesia and don't remember anything about me. That would be nice.
Anyway, I got a crew hair cut on Saturaday. I don't need a haircut because I already have very short hair. I wanted a haircut because no hair means no worries. I worry a lot. I worry all the time, and I am afraid I will go bald soon. I guess I will go completely bald when I start losing hair.
I had salad with french dressing for dinner today. I had cereal and french toast for breakfast and lunch. I slept and watched some sports in the afternoon. I have been renting dvd's from ehit.com for about three month. I watched phone booth and I am watching the sum of all fears right now. Phone booth was okay, Forrest Whitaker is old but you can still see his baby face. I used to watch Dawson's Creek. Katie Holmes played Colin Farrel's mistress. I thought Katie Holmes was really cute, too bad she is engaged and getting married to Chris Klein. I used to like girl who is a lesbian.
I stuttered on Saturday and did not stutter on Sunday.Saturaday was a busy day. I wanted to wake at 7:30 AM, but only got up at 8:30 AM. So I was late. I was late for TM training. It was my first training, and I am glad I was there eventhough I was late for the first class. It was better that I attended rather than missed out (avoidance?) The training was held at Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hills. I thought it was funny when they announced that the TM spring conference in May is going to held at UC Berkeley at the People's Republic of Berkeley. Whatever....
At TM training, I recalled learning that making a speech in front of an audience is 70% body language, 20% voice, and 10% content. I guess when you talke on the phone, it is 70% voice, 30% content, and 0% body language. When you instant message online, it must be 100% content. I think I can always improve on my body language, even if I can't improve my voice. I realize that my stuttering can sometimes make communication with others difficult for me, but I always remember that you can become a more effective communicator even if you do stutter once in a while.
I don't know if I can enjoy finishing watching the sum of all fears. Ben Affleck is definitely worse than Matt Damon. Today was a beautiful day and tomorrow is Monday, the 12th of January.

fortune cookie quote
I eat chinese fortune cookies and I am always interested in the message inside:
"You must learn day by day to broaden your horizon."
This is an okay quote.
