    Even in this age of jet travel, we still rely on trains for much of our transportation needs. However, they often (even in The United States) run on time…

    A train is just leaving the station when a young man comes running up, throws his valise inside, and jumps aboard just in time. As he stands in the doorway, huffing and puffing, trying to catch his breath, and older man who had been watching says to him, “Youngster, you’re out of shape! When I was your age, I could have run to this train and jumped aboard without breaking a sweat.”

    “That may be, old man,” the youth replies. “But I’ve been chasing this train since the last station!”

    Poor little Curtis…he was separated from the womb early, probably put into a PREEMIE tank and had little interaction for months, and no mother’s heartbeat to keep him company.

    Curtis ZY-Keith Means got his first facial tattoo and released rap CD under the name “Little ZY” 21 weeks and two days after conception. Later that day he announced his engagement to a Kardashian. Yo, yo, yo.

    In one form, the actors perform on stage and follow a script. In another… well… it’s about the same, they use a different script, the scenery changes, the actors may or may not be the same. In another… We have something similar here in the Western World, it’s called “Broadway” :D

    In an effort to stay on topic, Kwanzaa was started at CSULB while I was a student there.

    One time when I was in Taipei (Taiwan), I watched what was billed as Chinese Opera which was more of a circus/variety show than the “opera” that Westerners expect.
