| Soo..it's been about a year and 2+ months since I've updated. It's 7 in
the morning and I'm gonna drive to nyc and boston in another 5 hours so
I figure what better time to do this than now. I realize probably
nobody reads this anymore but I'm gonna do it anyway for the cathartic
release of just talking to xanga.
This summer was fucking awesome. I loved nyc! You know how much I love
cali and hk but this was definitely an experience. Everything about the
town is amazing..the whole metropolitan atmosphere, the weird deranged
ppl, the way you fucking bleed money. AWESOME. The people I worked with
were great. They took the time to help out the dumbass intern who was
fucking everything up. And my buddy was the chillest guy ever. Can't
ask for a better mentor. Outside of work I was NEVER bored. It's hard
to describe what exactly made this summer so memorable but I'll try. I
met a 6'7" Polish monster who downed beer by the pitcher and was
confused about his race. I went to all-you-can-eat wings only to throw
it all up on the subway (and an unfortunate brown friend). I devoted my
life to a game that involved tossing a tiny ball in a cup. I road a
grown man like a racehorse on the street. I learned to school people on
the basketball court with no help but a 6-pack of heineken. I partied
with a couple girls who I was convinced were strippers in another life.
I refused to sleep just to prove I could beat two girls in a stupid
card game called spades. I discovered what a $4000 dinner tastes like.
I got drunk at a company party on a lavish garden roof tho neither I
nor any of my friends knew anybody at the company. I went to Yankee
Stadium to boo them and cheer for the other team. Above all else, I had
an awesome time with some good old friends and met some new ones too. I
only hope next summer and those years in the city after college will be
as exciting and memorable.
The last week or so I've been indelibly attached to a particular game.
I know I've given up playing games but I have so much time on my hands
I couldn't help but get sucked in. So as I conclude this long overdue
entry, I thank you Blizzard for once again making me whole.

| ok..started out as an i-love-korean-movies post but started getting more and more angry as i wrote. I'm calm now..prolly cuz this really cute girl was standing in front of me on the subway ride home. I couldn't keep my eyes off her for the whole half hour..man, i got no self-control. But even tho i'm calm and thinking clearly right now, i still almost entirely agree with what I wrote below. Seriously..I think north koreans can make better movies than us at this point. At least they'd have interesting things to talk about..hardship, poverty, famine, despotism, nuclear weapons. Arrite, i'm gonna go before I anger myself again. peace.

I hate to say this but i cannot keep this in. It needs to be said. Korean movies rock HK movies hardcore. It pains me greatly to accept this fact but the quality of the films coming out of the HK movie industry has reached such a deplorable state i can no longer bear to watch them. We had Goo Wak Zai, Hero and Infernal affairs, and since then a buncha movies I wouldn't watch if you paid me to. Has anyone seen Shaolin Soccer?? That was frigging embarassing to the Chinese race. It doesn't take more than a quick glance at our society to single out the root cause of the industry's demise. Back in the 80's and 90's people everywhere welcomed HK films because there was a clear standard of professionalism and ingenuity in everything we made. We pioneered the martial arts film. And then we paved the way for the asian triad genre. But with a little taste of success the HK movie industry fell into a decadent lethargy thinking that since no one else in asia is making good movies we can just chill at the top. That seems to be our attitude towards everything. Well we're not at the top anymore dumb fucks. I just saw Tae Guk Gi and I think that was probably the best movie I've seen this summer. All In was playing two nights ago on a local channel. I had a conversation with my mom last night about Korean movies/dramas and Korean actors. That's right..my LOCAL FOB mom! She was throwing out names I've never even heard of. And SHE bought the Tae Guk Gi dvd..not me!
This doesn't just go for the movie industry. It's about HK entertainment as a whole. From the recent rise in popularity of teenie bopper pop artists emerged a wave of singer turned actors who are quite truthfully good at neither. Fucking groups with gay ass names like twins and boyz...wtf. The only group i'll ever like that starts with "Boyz" ends with "II Men." I can't stand this indiscriminatory defacing of my people any longer. HK entertainers really need to start going about their work with a little more dignity. I hope they understand that when they make the kinda crap that's been common in recent years, they're not only misrepresenting themselves but they're misrepresenting us Chinese as a people. Please shape the hell up or I'm gonna have to start writing my name like this o| . | | |
| my life has gotten boring to the point that i turn to my long-lost friend xanga. so..how are you friend? long time no type. work's been a drag. I'm so tired of code that doesn't work..i'm so tired of sitting on my ass in an office. when i'm not at work, i sit at home and watch bad dvd's that i bought only cuz they're cheaper than underwear. i can't even find a decent game of ball..I dunno any courts around here and i'm stuck playing w/ a buncha old guys at my hs every monday night who freak out at me if i play at all physical. only ppl who seem to ever wanna hang out with me are ash and jess. jon turned me down when i suggested drinking friday nite AGAIN. dunno what's happening to my friends...my world is falling apart in every way possible. i don't like computer games no more, i don't club no more..what else is there to do??
on the brighter side of things.. the lakers are getting their asses kicked! that always makes my day.  i'd bet with elaine just to shut her up once and for all but i'm scared of losing another dinner. seems like those dumb games we bet on never end up in my favor.
hmm..what else..i got to play mj today with my fam and imma play tennis tomorrow with my dad..so i guess really this weekend wasn't all too bad. i love my dad's pets..the dog's so happy and funny all the time and the chinchilla's just a big lump of fur that runs around smacking into walls and stuff. the dog's always chasing him, and he always gotta stop and wait up for her cuz she can't keep up with him. haha..they're so funny.  i'll post up pics if i ever get the chance.
aiiiight, i'm out from tha H-K-G. shoutout to the peeps in pitt, nyc, jersey, murrrland and my beloved 415. i miss you all.
