For Saturday, June 11: Xing Fu De Bao Zheng (The Promise of Happiness)

Vic Chou is a boy band member.  He sings in Mandarin (in case you are wondering what dialect you are listening to!) and he is Taiwanese.  He also is an actor.  I think he might be kind of a big deal but I don't know for sure since I can't read, speak, or understand Chinese and all it's various dialects! ;) 
So here's the deal.  I feel completely uninspired for today's song and one of my unspoken goals for this 365 experiment is to get at least one song from each letter of the alphabet on there.  So I googled "songs that start with x" and all the ones from rappers, etc were going to obviously be really inappropriate and disgusting so I focused in on the Chinese ones!  :) That's how I landed on Vic Chou. 
He has a very nice voice and from watching the video he tells a good story in his songs.  I have absolutely NO CLUE what the song is about because when I googled the lyrics they all came up mandarin so...I kinda have to go by the video and his demeanor to guess that in the song he is telling of a promise for happiness with this girl and he keeps hoping and he keeps leaving her messages but she never comes and yet he still holds on to the promise of happiness.  ??  Watch the video for yourself and tell me what you see! 
Ha!  A song that starts with "x".  Happy day!

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
