adsense's finally making a li'l sense.

±Ý¿äÀÏ ¾Æħ: this morn, i did hit up the sunnyvale skate park, so it was a better morn than others this wk.   i even took sooni 4 a decent walk b4 going to the sunnyvale skate park.   furthermore, 'twas a pretty good morn @ the sunnyvale skate park: 1) 'twasn't 2 sunny or hot, 2) 'twasn't 2 crowded but also not lonely (thus neither crowded nor lonely), 3) i had a pretty good sesh/session, pulling off decent (altho' still not beautiful) rear axle grinds n' even some grind that sort'f resembled backside smith grinds.   i got there a li'l after 720a n' left 'round 820a.   i guess 'twas only an hr but a good hr.

last nite, i went to taekwondo black belt sparring praktice n' then taught the adult beginners class w/ mark afterwards.   it's diff now that the adult beginners class is after the black belt class on both tues n' thurs.   b4, it was after the black belt class on tues but b4 the black belt class on thurs.   now, when i teach the adult beginners class i'm all sweatty n' well... maybe even a bit sore n' bruised.   'sall good tho'.   we have 3 new students in our class.   it's funny tho'... or 'least interesting: they've all got previous martial arts experience (n' plenty'f it), so they're all progressing really fast.   they'll all be joining the rest'f the class soon.   on tues, mark werked w/ them, while i gave the previous 0.25's students sort'f a mock promotional exam (½É»ç shimsa).   last nite, i took the new students, while mark werked w/ the previous 0.25's students.   man, we're really proud'f all our students!   it's great!

well, i came home after praktice, but 'twas already really late.   this new skedule really gives me flashbacks to our cal taekwondo days.   we used to hafta werkout so late back then.   man, back then, we'd sometimse stay in the µµÀå dojang till 1100p or later!   crazy, huh?   *sigh* neway, i hope to keep up doing taekwondo.   it's fun.

have u ever cheked out the google adsense ads on my archive page?   well, i wish u would n' wish u'd click on the ads cos s'pposedly i earn $$$ if u click on'em.   u know the routine.   after all, many ppl ('specially many bloggers) have google adsense on their blogs or "xangas."   neway... 4 most'f this yr, i'd been kind'f annoyed cos the ads weren't relevant to the content'f my site even tho' they're s'pposed to be.   u c, i started out this yr's edition'f the beno journal talkin' 'bout the beautiful kaela hwang's n' my trip down to ³²°¡ÁÖ namgajoo (the southern part'f this state) over the christmas / new yr's holiday brk.   cos'f that, google adsense was giving my wacked out ads 'bout that region'f this state.   next yr, when i start out the 2007 edition'f the beno journal, i've gotta talk 'bout the things i care 'bout in this world in order to get ads that r relevant to the content'f this site.   i might just start the aktual .html page early n' post a bunch'f wurds that'll generate the rt kind'f ads.   well, i dunno why, but recently - all'f the sudden - i have been getting ads that r relevant to the content'f this site.   i've been getting ads 'bout asian.am stuff, skateboarding, christianity.   well, heck; just 2day, i got an ad 4 christian skateboards!   check out http://www.dodgethisco.com.   i mean, it's a li'l silly to have this term "christian skateboards" cos how can a skateboard be a christian?   does the wooden plank itself surrender its life to jesus christ?   eh... whate'er.   what this site sells r skateboarding produkts that have logos w/ a christian, bible.based msg instead'f some'f the negative msgs that some (only some n' not all) other skateboarding produkts have.   that's kewl.   i mean, shoot; i dunno why, but skateboarding nowadays is such a spiritual experience 4 me; n' yes, in a christian sense, not in some "feelgood," new age sense.   sure, sure, sure; i know to some'f my readers, i sound like such a frickin' ned diddly flanders... ned diddly fiddly flanders! ÇÁ·£´õ½º flanders   whate'er, dood.   flanders's a li'l wack, but he's also really buff n' fit n' looks good 4 his age.   'member?   he's aktually a sr citizen!   ha ha ha, am i saying flanders's my hero?   ha ha ha, no no no.   *sigh* i know, to many woman, lisa simpson's a hero.   i dunno... yah, she's smart... but is she all that?

[later] i did notice 2day, while riding the small pool that i do lean way 2 much into the pool while i'm trying to grind, whereas i guess i really should be getting more'f my weight up n' over the coping n' almost out'f the pool, eh?   pool or bowl?   which should i call it?   did i mention that, the other day, i tried to ride the big bowl.   wow, it really feels diff: the transitions much steeper.   aktually, it felt 'lot more like the 0.5pipes i ride on a snowboard.   after all, i ride much bigger 0.5pipes on a snowboard than i do on a skateboard these days.   i felt 'lot more like i was being launched up.   ha ha, this morn, when i arrived @ the sunnyvale skate park, there was this 1 other yuppyish, asian.am dude there that looked 'bout my age.   i was interested in cing how he skates; but soon after i arrived, he left.   'twas like i took his place or sumpthin', as if there can only be 1'f us in the park @ a time, as if there were some kind'f quota or sumpthin'. ha ha.   funny.   he drove off in a honda accord coupe, i think; which in some ppl's eyes makes him more "asian" than me w/ my subaru forester.   *sigh* dude, i must bring my car into ¾ÖÀ̽º ÀÚµ¿Â÷ Á¤ºñ ace jadongcha juhngbi.   *sigh* must!   i might end up doing that on the morn'f my b.day, eh?   i dunno how long it'll take him to fix either.   maybe i'll hafta leave the car w/ him 4 a couple'f days?   then what?   i'll be riding my bike everywhere?   that's fine.   i'm just glad i have my bike! *sigh* aktually, 1 bad thing's that if i hafta ride my bike in the morn, then i can't hit up the sunnyvale skate park.   like, i could easily strap my board to my boarding backpack n' ride my bike over to the park.   however, i don't wanna be bringing my board into my office afterwards.   there's aktually this 1 well.respekted engr in our office that keeps a longboard skateboard in his office; but i don't think i've ever cn him ride it.   altho' i did c some1 ride a longboard skateboard 1 day @ lunch.   also, i did c some1 ride a normal skateboard in the parking lot'f a diff bldg 1nce.   that's a software bldg tho', n' software ppl r kind'f diff from other engrs, not as uptight; i guess.
