Tai Shan gets to stay until 2009! The Chinese Government decided to let us keep him for two more years!

(I’m writing this on the 21 around midnight, but I have a lot of posts coming up so I time-shifted this to the 24th)

If you’ve read my blog long enough, you know that I believe in events transpiring when they should. In other words, God places things in our lives at the right time. If you call it luck, what is luck, but another name for God? You’re still ascribing it to an unexplainable force.

Don’t forget to be careful of what you write in your blogs, myspaces, etc Express your opinion and interests, but be careful not to give away enough information that criminals can use it against you. Don’t talk about vacations ahead of time or what time you get off work normally and other such things.

Apparently there aren’t too many other blogs/sites out there talking about it or I wouldn’t get so many people coming here looking for it. The above pictures are probably responsible for the 32 people coming here looking for cosplay. (The second top search term) Another one that brought about 20 people here is the Order of the Engineer, which I blogged about the day I got it. Since then I haven’t mentioned it until today.
