I love it when business people treat me like I’m one of them. Some guy I met at a party last night nearly creamed himself when I told him that I graduated with an accounting degree. Because you see, he and I understand how the economy works, and how the inner mechanics of a company…
Fast Food Humor
Carlos: FUCKING DAVE THOMAS DIED? Francisco: Yeah dude, like a year ago. Carlos: Man, that sucks. And I loved those frosty chocolate frosty things. What were those called? Nichole: Frosties? Kevin: Yeah, and you know what else? The Hamburglar has colon cancer. Carlos: I hate you.
Full Circle (Yet Again)
With so many things in life that are perpetually changing, it’s surprising when you rediscover something that never seems to change, no matter how many times you accidentally stumble upon it and toss it aside. Robert Frost laments that “nothing gold can stay,” and I’ve always been inclined to believe him. I still believe the…
Still, They’re Nifty Shirts
Kevin: wow blogger shirts are only $9 Kevin: should i be lame and get one? Tara: i dunno that’s awfully pathetic Kevin: lol thanks, i can always count on you to fill in for my absent sense of good judgment Tara: =O)
In Search of Normality
Lately I haven’t had much to say. Most of what comes to mind is hardly worth committing even to the virtual page, and the thoughts that are actually worth sharing are probably better left unsaid for the moment. You could link this mental drought to a handful of things. Sometimes I wonder if I’m simply…
Random Complaints (The “Things That Suck” List)
Oversleeping on a weekday and then subsequently hauling ass in order to attend a class that bores the hell out of you. 50 Cent. Seriously, he’s the most overrated thing since sliced bread. “I love you like a fat kid love cake.” Wow man, profound. I guess I can throw out all of my 2Pac…
Irony Behind Iron Bars
So I’m driving in a residential neighborhood. In a window on a particular house, I notice a sign that reads, “United We Stand.” It’s a trite sentiment, but it’s true. I almost couldn’t read the sign as I drove by, though, since there were protective anti-theft bars mounted over the window. And who says there’s…
Lost in a Desert, But Still Rocking Out
You know what’s great about that movie The Ten Commandments? When the Israelites are fleeing from the Egyptians through the split waters of the Red Sea, the Jews are depicted as a bunch of old guys with bent backs and old mothers with small children. But later on, when they’re all partying and praising the…
Nitpicking
I’m no cartographer, nor am I a computer programmer, but I do know a thing or two about local geography when it comes to city streets. I just referred to Mapquest for driving instructions to my brother’s work, which seem straightforward enough. So long as I drive my hydrogen-powered, emission-free flying car, I should have…
Redefining What it Means to Be an American
I’m an American. I’m also Chinese. But don’t think for a second that I’m a second-class citizen. And for that matter, nobody should feel that way about themselves, either. The other day, while in conversation with my mother, I learned that one of her Asian friends “married an American man.” In other words, some oriental…
