I completely agree on how this language combines art and writing. It's pretty amazing even if it IS confusing. And I always disliked the stroke order of things, but my teacher said people would think I were crazy if I did it any other way.. Doesn't 兄 technically mean older brother? Cause I think there's another character for younger brother. Correct me if I'm mistaken. PS: your interpretation of Cradle Song is awesome. Makes me want to read it lol.

Thank you very much for reading and writing. Its a cool feeling having somebody read your stuff and actually talk about it. As for 兄 , I admit I know little on the subject but, from what I know 兄 has more used in connection with a brother. It was actually a book I saw at Borders that started all of this. It and a neon sign on the cover and it had the characters 兄 弟. I read the sign as zhǐ dì, To me it said only brother. The title of the book is actually brothers. I asked my teacher as he guessed at the character was xiōng instead of zhǐ . 弟(dì) or 弟弟(dìdi) means younger brother. It seems that in Chinese you double things like younger/older brother, mother, father, thank you, ect. Now what I learned is the 哥(gē) or 哥哥(gēge) is older brother. I don't know if these are the only way to say older brother, im sure there is other ways, but it is what I was taught and what is in the text book.
Ok Im dead serious, this is so cool to be talking about something like this on the forums. It makes me all giddy! ;D

No problem, it's interesting to read! Well what I know on the subject all comes from my Japanese class really. And I guess that's different from Chinese, although all of the Kanji in Japanese comes from Chinese characters sooo I'm not sure. But then again, this one guy I go to school with saw my Japanese book and all the Kanji and according to him everything meant the same thing. In that case, 兄 strictly means older brother and 弟 just means younger brother, I don't remember if there was an actual kanji that just meant 'brother'. But I could go ask my old teacher about it, maybe there's a difference when it comes to Chinese that I don't exactly know about.

LEAKED PHOTOS OF DANNY'S SECRET ART PROJECT IN DEVELOPMENT!!!! SUPER PYRAMID!!! Seriously though, deep post...and I look forward to seeing the evolution of the VIP!!! ^Nice Anyway, while I can't say I know how you feel Danny, I may have some idea. Especially the "change" part. This hellhole known as Beecher IL. is a testament to that. The bad part of change that is. Seriously though bro gimme a call soon. I barely see you or Justin anymore. I know you've been busy though. And we'll be seeing a lot of each other during the re-shoot in about a week. Looking forward to having the whole crew back togehter! ;D
