My review of "Be good Johnny Weir" Episode #2

I would like to say thank you to Johnny, and David and James, Patti, Paris and also all the people who helped to make this documentary series. This becomes my favorite TV program right now. I don’t watch TV much, and also recently I was getting less interested in movies since I haven’t got big impression for a while. This “ Be Good Johnny Weir” not only the story of one talented skater’s life, but there are a lot of humor, plus his unique character is just fun to watch. My favorite part of the episode #2 may be the scene he was modeling at the studio for the cover image of “ be good Johnny Weir”. The director was laughing, because of Johnny’s humor, while filming him. I thought it’s fantastic ! I can imagine the director's feeling, and he said that he thinks Johnny will be a pop culture star. I think not everyone can have this kind of impact on a film director. Creative besides his artistic beautiful skating talent . His acting and posing is great.    There are many p

My review “ Be good Johnny Weir” episode #1

Johnny’s documentary movie “ Be good Johnny Weir” episode #1 was on Sundance Channel last Monday, on January 18. Also episode #2 was on January 25. After getting the information, we were applying the new package which include Sundance channel at Comcast a few days before Monday. The movie was fantastic and already watched several times ! What’s so wonderful about it is because it’s about my favorite skater’s documentary. I can enjoy Johnny even when he’s just crossing the ice. I don’t know why but I just love how moves on ice.   Beginning part of his mimicking was already up in trailer, but still it was hilarious to watch, we laughed a lot. And also the hotel maid who is a figure skating fan started preaching to him about how to relax and not be nervous, this scene cracked us up. Especially Johnny’s reaction, patiently listening , nodding, politely. LOL. What she was telling him is good advice though, it’s just hilarious to see she’s trying to teach one of the top

Olympics season, skater’s mindset. US Nationals is just around the corner

OMG.. It’s already almost time for US Nationals figure skating events. Every season, ( since 2007) It’s hard to focus anything else and my mind is full about men’s event with nerves and I’m anxious, besides excitement. Especially this is Olympics season, and the result of the Nationals influences to get the spot for the USA Olympics team. However , it’s always “ mindset ” comes to my mind first before the competitions. I’ve heard that Japanese skater Miki Ando was thinking about the Olympics while she was competing at Japanese Nationals, and lost podium. She was already locked as an Olympics Japanese team member since she won Gold at two GPS events and won Silver at GPF this season. And now she sounds very nervous from pressure, and her memory of the last Olympics made her even more nervous. And I started thinking, this kind of feeling may be happening to all the other athletes, especially, Johnny Weir from USA, Brian Joubert from France, Carolina Kostner from Italy,

Happy New Year 2010 to everyone !

Time flies so fast !  It’s already 2010 !!! Our 2009 was like a roller coaster year, and we learned how timing is very important as far as helping things go smoothly. When you do something at the wrong time, everything may get worse and worse from that point then. We just need to know when is the right time.  Ray thinking There are also signs which may point out whether it’s right time or not when we pay attention for it and things in the beginning of the day. We felt like we were in a twilight zone for a while. LOL. Anyway, Ray and I are fine, both keeping healthy and have been staying in good relationship, no matter what happened around us. Life is like an illusion , why not achieve all the goals we want in our life ? ~ Everything in heaven and earth is connected to everything in earth and heaven. ~ ~ Everything in heaven and earth is the reflection of everything in heaven and earth. ~ ~ Everything in heaven and earth contains the pattern of
