Crack heads

Living in the city, you deal with many different elements. A Crackhead is a special kind of element. Its something you don't love, but meh you have to deal with them. Since they are already there, you have to take the good and the bad with them.

Lets start with the bad. They will break your car window to steal the change out of your car. Good: you might be able to buy a Rolex for a hundred dollars from them. Bad: They will steal from your house. Good: You can buy someone else's stolen material cheaper than on Craigslist....Thinking about it now, it seems like the first good thing and the second is basically the same thing. Bad: they smell like piss most likely because they pissed on themselves. Good:You can get them to fight each other or is that just the Bums who do that.

My favorite experience with a crack head was at Checkers at 3 in the morning. He yells out to me. I say "What?" He tells me that he has something for sale. I am always intrigued by crack head sales. I ask him what he has. He says The Internet. I say What? He says he has the internet. He has my full attention now. I go up to him and he shows me a dial up modem from the 90's. I bust out laughing.

Favorite Crack heads in movies and shows.

Fails

I am prone to Fails in my life. The other day I was in New York City and someone said watch out for the dog poop. I didnt hear them and I stepped into this juicy piece of crap. People were laughing at me and I started to laugh with them.

I remember I was in highschool and I was going down this big hill from the bus stop. The bus stop was a couple blocks away from school. I was talking to this friend of mine and we started to cross the street. I think I fell over my own feet or tripped across his. I was laying in the middle of the street. I look at one side and then the other. It seems to me that the cars are coming faster. I think that they see a fat asian kid in the street and someone wants to hit me. So my body instictly just started rolling. It felt a ages before I got to the other side and was in the clear. I started to look around and I just see people laughing at me. It felt like the whole school was laughing at me. I brushed myself off and started laughing as well.

We fail. Plain and simple, we fail. We fail from the beginning of our lives. It takes a couple of times to get out of our mother's womb. I don't think babies make it out there in one shot. Isn't that the best part of life. Failing and then learning and laughing. Laughing at your self is probably the best medicine. I fail all the time. I laugh at myself all the time. Life shouldn't be so serious all the time. So go ahead and fail. Laugh at your failures, but take pride in your success and it is so sweet.

ME Stepping in DOG CRAP!! FAIL!!

Trip to NY

So a friend of mine thought that I would have blogged about my trip to New York by now. Reluctantly, I am doing so. No, I really do want to.

I think on every road trip you learn little things about yourself. Ive learned quite a few things about myself. I think that learning the deficiencies in your character is a great thing in life. Its like sports, when you know you need to work on something. You work hard to improve your game. You cant be the same person when there is glaring weakness in your character.

 I learned that I can be a decisive person. I think in my head it translates to an impatient person, who doesn't want to compromise with anyone and just wants to get his own way. Although, I don't think the person who was calling me that meant it that way. Hopefully... I know that being decisive is good sometimes. Also, it can make a person look like a dick.

I also learned that I can be a person who contradicts people. Example, there was a car that kind of cut us off or we cut them off and she said"oh that car was close". I said, "No, not really that close." I also realize that those comments make me look like a dick or sound like one. Im not even sure why i do it because in the grand scheme of things its not a big deal at all.

Don't get me wrong. I think these things are good at times. Key words are "at times".

Its funny how these trips can either split people  or ensure their bond with each other. It definitely did the latter for us. We ate, and ate, drank and just shared life. We had our fail moments, met with friends, seen somethings that we haven't before(sparkly pants) and things that reminded me of the past. All of those things make a good road trip.

Few of my favorite Things

Sitting in my house, I was just wondering what my favorite things were. Also the song kinda came in mind also.

Favorite Ice cream= Breyers Strawberry Ice Cream; I love that it is creamy and it has the chunks of strawberry. I remember as a child, my mom would buy it at the grocery only for special occasions.

Favorite most recent read biography: Pistol

Favorite Movie of all time: Pulp Fiction

Celebrity I would Like to get a beer with: George Clooney(mostly because of spill over)

Favorite Ninja Turtle: Michaelangelo

Favorite Athlete of all Time: Randall Cunnigham

Favorite Cheesesteak: John's Roast Pork

Favorite Cake: the korean cake with fruits on top of it

Favorite Wu-tang member- Ghostface Killa

Body Pillow

So the other day, I bought a body pillow. Man, I have missed the support and embrace of that wonderful device. Put it in between your legs and arms; it will give you the support my body has longed for in a couple of years. I remember the first time I had a body pillow.....

I heard some guy in Korea married his body pillow. What the hell is wrong with people. I just shared my love for body pillows, but I would never go that far....or maybe

Random

Koreans are weird!

Wolverine cant catch a break

Girl is off the hook.


Girl is off the Escalator.

Things in between

What I love about life is that we are constantly learning. This weekend I learned the space between your genitail and anus is called the perineum. Slang terms its the grundle or gooch.

It got me to thinking about the things between all of us relationally. The obvious is always the sex thing. Billy Crystal said, " Man and women cannot just be friends because of the sexual tension." (that is not an exact quote). I always found that true. We could be friends like lets eat dinner and stuff, but not everyday talking on the phone or meeting up all the time. We can't be close friends. I know there are exceptions, but I think this is a general statement.

The other relationship that has intrigued me is the heirarchy at work. We really can't have be friends with our boss. We always have the separation of "damn, this guy pays me therefore he kind of owns my life." Its a good separation. Bosses shouldn't be like Michael Scott from The Office. I see one of my bosses at work. He is nice and friendly, but he has the aire of distinction. Personally, I would never want to be friends unless we were equals. Plus he seems like a dick sometime.

Can we ever get past those things in between us? Should we try? Do I even know what the hell I am talking about? Probably not.

One of my favorite songs

Shut the FACE!!!

Yesterday, we had a meeting at work to go over somethings. This guy lets call him Jimmy. Well Jimmy is a who does have experience and is good at our job. Hes not the best, but certainly not the worst. He is also a pretty good guy. Heres the problem. He just will not shut the hell up.

This guy in our meetings, where we have no where to run or hide, will keep talking. The managers do interupt him, but he has advice to give us everyday. At one point your like, "Shut the Fuck up!" (sorry for the vulgar language, but I feel its appropiate)

I got kind into it with this guy yesterday in the meeting. He says something and I was like no your wrong. The manager takes the approach of "well your both right". After about five minutes, Jimmy tries to defend his point he said earlier. He asks me a question. I say "Are you asking me?" He nods. I basically told him, "I dont want to get into an argument. Let's keep this short"(in a condescending way, people laughed and I made him look stupid. By that time, it was already an hour into the meeting.) He was quiet the rest of the meeting.
This morning a co-worker asked me "Is it just me or do you feel like shooting yourself everytime Jimmy talks?"

Shutting the face is hard for all of us. Many times we go a little too long. We need maybe a shot clock sometimes or  the wrap it up box.......

New Music

Adele has come out with a new album. She is a white girl from England, who sounds like a black girl from the South at least when she sings. Her last album 19 was pretty good, which included an incredible cover of Bob Dylan's Make You Feel My Love . He new album 21 is better. No sophmore slump for her.

 I listened to the album a couple times in the car and her voice echos through your soul.By far my favorite song is "He Won't Go", She paints a vivid picture of a man and a woman needing each other. Almost brought me to tears, but Im a Man and men dont cry or have feelings.

This album is well crafted and worked. The production is great and I really enjoyed it.

Heres the lyrics to "He Won't Go".

Some say I'll be better without you, 
But they don't know you like I do, 
Or at least the sides I thought I knew, 
I can't bear this time, 
It drags on as I lose my mind, 
Reminded by things I find, 
Like notes and clothes you've left behind, 
Wake me up, wake me up when all is done, 
I won't rise until this battle's won, 
My dignity's become undone, 

But I won't go, 
I can't do it on my own, 
If this ain't love, then what is? 
I'm willing to take the risk, 
I won't go, 
I can't do it on my own, 
If this ain't love, then what is? 
I'm willing to take the risk, 

So petrified, I'm so scared to step into this ride, 
What if I lose my heart and fail the climb? 
I won't forgive me if I give up trying, 
I heard his voice today, 
I didn't know a single word he said, 
Not one resemblance to the man I met, 
Just a vague and broken boy instead, 

But I won't go, 
I can't do it on my own, 
If this ain't love, then what is? 
I'm willing to take the risk, 
I won't go, 
I can't do it on my own, 
If this ain't love, then what is? 
I am willing to take the risk, 

There will be times, we'll try and give it up, 
Bursting at the seams, no doubt, 
We'll almost fall apart and burn the pieces, 
And watch them turn to dust, 
But nothing will ever taint us, 

I won't go, 
I can't do it on my own, 
If this ain't love, then what is? 
I'm willing to take the risk, 
I won't go, 
I can't do it on my own, 
If this ain't love, then what is? 
I am willing to take the risk, 

Will he, will he still remember me? 
Will he still love me even when he's free? 
Or will he go back to the place where he will choose the poison over me? 
When we spoke yesterday, 
He said to hold my breath and sit and wait, 
I'll be home so soon, I won't be late, 

He won't go, 
He can't do it on his own, 
If this ain't love, then what is? 
He's willing to take the risk, 
So I won't go, 
He can't do it on his own, 
If this ain't love, then what is? 
I'm willing to take the risk, 

Bi-Winning and other things

Charlie Sheen is amazing. I love that he is just telling it how he thinks it is. Hes winning.

Thought this painting was cool. Its called Venus Envy. I guess its saying that women have the privilege of giving birth.

I saw this article and thought, "Man, even this guy could get married!"

A happy ending to farmer's anus woes Source: Global Times [20:27 February 27 2011] Comments

 A farmer from Jiayu county of Hubei Province has lived 55 years without an anus, after being born with congenital anal atresia in the Wuhan Union Hospital. But now doctors have reshaped a new fundament for him in January.


Wu previously endured a 0.5-centimeter diameter surgical hole, or stomas, near his urethra for excrement, through which he could squeeze stools out with his hands. Wu had to pay attention to the food he ate, avoid constipation and was a frequent user of laxatives.

The dilemma left him very thin but it did not prevent him getting married and having children.

As his economic situation improved, Wu went to the Wuhan Hospital at the end of last year, where Dr Li Zhibiao examined him and framed operation plans. Wu accepted an artificial anus, and three days later, could excrete like normal people.

Hide behind the E

We have become a nonconfrontational society. It is taboo to confront someone especially in public. We have become a society where men are not men anymore. Men have become a shadow of what we use to be. We have become people who are afraid to say no to someone.

The computer has placed a big part in this. The computer is great for most things like looking up an address, seeing who that guy was in that movie, stalking a girl and etc. It has made us scared and we are not able to express our emotions in public as well as we use to.

E-mail has hurt us. It has made people more cowardly. I got an Email one time from this guy saying he didnt appreciate what I did to him. I apologized, but I had to ask, "Why couldn't you just tell me in person?" With our friends especially, we should be able to express our feelings in person. We should have a bond that is deeper than Facebook Chat.

It has made me more timid. I feel like I shouldn't tell a person this because it might hurt their feelings. Should we live that way....Probably not.... We have to live boldly and not be afraid of confrontation. Many times it will hash things out and make us stronger people.

Real talk: Maybe we should just have some intestinal fortitude. Another word: Grow some balls.
