I don't like your speech, I love your speech. :-) May I have a copy of your speech (both Chinese and English version)? I'd like to see them post in <a href="http://www.fjsnow.com/bbs/list.asp?boardid=48" rel="nofollow">http://www.fjsnow.com/bbs/list.asp?boardid=48</a> if you don't mind. With that speech, I think I could get you 300 some votes no problem. If you want to post them directly, please let me know. You may contact me at y10601@speakeasy.net. Are you coming home in Chinese New Year? Best regard. --- yee Hi Brian,

I haven't got it typed up yet - actually, I'll have to go look for my draft - but I'll do so tonight.

I wish that I could've thought of something like that when I had to do speaches back in high school. That speach was seriously great.

Really. Did you write it out in Chinese? E-mail it to me if you can - my wife would get a huge kick out of it. Bravo! Brilliant. Really. Did you write it out in Chinese?

Sounds like it was hilarious. Thanks also for your kind words about my site. It's gratifying to receive such praise from someone who's own work I greatly admire.

Maybe even see you actually performing it. I was laughing right with you. Good stuff. Thanks for the mention, but there's just too much out there to call one good. Wish I could triple vote, personally. Can’t wait to read the text. Maybe even see you actually performing it. I was laughing right with you.

I haven't even changed the design from the Movabletype default, for Chrissakes! I actually am planning to whip it into shape - I need to find a good way of integrating my English and Chinese blogs, and Kun's blog, and a general non-blog content section, all in one page design, and it's a lot harder than you'd think. For my design-challenged ass, at least. As for 'Essayist' - if I wrote better and more often, I might be a good essayist. As is, I'm just trying to steal the title from people who deserve it more. Oh, and as for the text of the speech - I'm going to post it as soon as I can get my hands on a copy of the VCD that it got recorded to - hopefully in a week or so. That way I'll be able to get the exact words; I suspect there are some inaccuracies here. I might even compress it and upload it, although I don't want to be the first of the China Blog Mafia to put my miserable Chinese on display for all the world to see. How about we have a deal (an assignment?) where everyone posts an audio or video clip of themselves speaking Chinese for a minute or two on their websites all at the same time?

I would love to hear it in Chinese! Did it get recorded? You also need to post the text of the speech on your Chinese blog. Seriously. As for blogs, thanks for your support. Some Chinese blog has already run away with the Best Mainland Blog award, I think. And you truly are a great essayist. I'm more of a slap-dash blogger, myself, but I've got stuff to say, less eloquently. As for Chinese as a second language, it's Alaric all the way! My Chinese blog is so half-ass it doesn't deserve any votes. What makes Alaric's blog so impressive is not just his Chinese level, but also that it represents an enormous effort on his part to continue his Chinese education outside of China. I daresay I would seriously suck at that. Man, that speech was great! I would love to hear it in Chinese! Did it get recorded?
