It's been a while since I've logged on to LiveJournal. Sadly, I haven't done much since then, so there's still not much to update. I've been busy, but not productive. I've been doing well, but not great. I'm surviving, but barely living at all. When will it finally click and life is all of a sudden... good? Not that I'm in anyway bitching about ( Read more... )

This might be a crackpot and narrow minded thing to do... but I've really enjoyed reimmersing myself in Asian contemporary culture the past couple of months. I call this reasianifying. Or maybe reaffirming Asianism. Or what other people call reexploring my roots. Whatever it is, I have been doing that, partially because I have been gradually ( Read more... )

Guys.. Take a look at this article. How can someone who professes to be so American, surrounded by the most American of us Americans, propose something so unAmerican? Where would America be had there been no immigrants ( Read more... )

YAY! This is soooo cool. So... since I don't exactly have AIM on my phone, I found out that there is a way to do AIM by Text Message! I am permanently online with my phone! Granted, if you knew my number... it would be as easy as messaging me at +1917XXX-XXXX. This way, however, I can actually reply back! Sweet! IM or email me if you want the new ( Read more... )

Rest and relaxation is something that is not considered a luxury in everywhere but corporate America and in Japan. In France, people have 30-35 personal holidays and can eat more fat, drink more wine, smoke more cigarettes than anyone else in the world. Yet, they live longer than we do. Here, we work 12 to 13 hour days, we stress out about our ( Read more... )

Thanksgiving is different this year. Perhaps its the fact that I am finally coming to terms with the fact that its no longer a one week/super long weekend vacation. Instead, it is now reduced to one day of gorging oneself to the point of exploding and returning to work the next day. And of course, it happens to be that FISCAL YEAR END is ALWAYS the ( Read more... )

Have you ever looked around you and realize that you live in a pigsty and you want to clean everything up and start with a clean slate? Have you ever tried to start chipping away at that mess and then realize that its futile to do it in piecemeal fashion and then you leave it where it is, a bigger mess than it was to begin with? And then, have you ( Read more... )

What a good five days its been... an absolute getaway from the hustle and bustle of New York. Spent 5 days chillin incognito on the South Beach strip in a dinky 2 star hotel/hostel going out for drinks as early as 12 noon. Despite the shortcomings of Miami and its cracked out native population, had good company, good laughs, wish most of the rest ( Read more... )

Hell's yeah... time to chill the fuck out and relax properly. I'll update again in about 5 days... DO IT DO IT DO IT!

You know... I've been planning for days now to put together the ultimate first journal... just to kick things off on this site with a nice bang, awesome layout, meaningful shit to say, maybe even a poem or two. That was days ago. I realize now, that if I don't take these rare inspirational moments to write, I will never get things started. Now that ( Read more... )
