| why do they make faucets with two handles when one can do the job? it's probably really annoying for people with only one hand.
i get soap in my eyes all the time and it BURNS! so my nephews left for florida and left behind some of their shampoo. this stuff smells like a strawberry smoothy, detangles my hair (which doesn't need detangling), comes in a soft squeezie bottle, while being gentle on my skin and eyes...why would i EVER want to use another shampoo/conditioner?
had a little too much to drink on saturday (it's what happens when you're at the tables in vegas at 4 in the morn), decided to take a potty break. walked into the bathroom and spent 3 minutes trying to find where the urinals were. it dawns on me that maybe i wasn't in the right room. hmm...too clean...no one puking in the stall...and no urinals...duh...i was in a ladies room. i'm not allowed to gamble alone and DEFINITELY not drink alone.

| Swan's over in Cambodia doing a tour of the motherland and Southeast Asia. That leaves me with 3 weeks of readjusting to life without my significant significant other.
So how's it been since the absence of my other half?
It's Day 15 and I think I've cooked 3 times (we used to cook almost every night). I do miss home cooking...but with only me to cook for...it's kinda hard. I've really taken the opportunity to go out and reconnect with old buddies and meet new ones. Nice.
I've begun to see all my friends more. It's funny how everyone seemed available to hang out and meet up since Swanny left. I feel like she called everyone up and told them to look after me. Normally I work, eat, and sleep. Maybe I'll have something going on once a weekend...but since Day 1 I've been getting invitations to hang out left and right. I either have friends over or am out almost every night now...is that how single people do it? I'm getting tired :).
I've also become a single father. My two babies, Donut and Abby, are constantly on my agenda and mind. They're like shadows that follow me around everywhere I go. We run, we play, we eat together, and we sleep together. We visit my family in SD together and even went to a party tonight together (Happy Bday Stitch). I'm trying to make up for all that good lovin they used to get with Swanny and Linda around. They've become better walkers I think. I've been employing my Dog Whisperer skills on them. They don't seem to bark much at night whlie I'm out either since I run them to death before I go out.
So yeah...I'm catching up on tv and movies, books and games. I thought this would be a rough 3 weeks but it's been good. Of course I wish she were here...but it's nice to know that I could handle a long distance relationship...albeit a temporary one.

| Hi everyone. It's been a long time comin'...but another one bites the dust. Yes...I've finally taken that step that celebrities seem to find so easy to do every other month, I've gotten engaged.
It only took 10 years and 364 days but I did it. You're probably thinking..."Great Vinh! Congratulations!" and at the same time thinking "Wow, finally". Haha. I know, I know. It's a little anti-climatic since it's been so long...but come on, I'm Vinh. If you know me, then you know I am carefree by nature. Stressing itsn't my thing...and boy, working up the courage to make that commitment is crazy stressful.
Proposing has to be one of the top three most stressful experiences in the world for any man. Here's how it ranks:
1) The #1 most stressful words anyman can hear come from a woman. Women are great, but if you're not married and not sure about it, "Honey...I'm pregnant," is the last thing you wanna hear. That's for sure number one.
2) Next comes those famous last words (as an independent entity that is), "Will you marry me?". I know it's only natural for us to come together as couples and all but there's all these choices and rights we give up or have share now. Then there's that badass rock we gotta buy with our video game money...comon' I was saving up for a copy of Star Craft 2!
3) And the third most stressful thing a man can hear is, "Daddy...I'm pregnant." Of course you'd have to be a father to get this one...but damn...I bet life makes you go through the first two stressful events just to get you ready for this one.
Darn...I gotta run now. I never got around to telling you why I chose "NOW" to pop the question. I guess this segment on my proposal will have to be continued. It's gonna be time for the Chargers-Patriots game soon so...GO BOLTS!!!

| I just finished watching about 20 minutes of Miami Vice. Yeah..the updated movie with Collin Farrell and Jamie Foxx.
The movie may be crap but I realized a few things while watching it.
Drug dealers are NOT happy people. I guess when you're surrounded by guns and the DEA all the time it's not so fun. But what good is all that money without a little fun? We didn't see a person smile in the 20 minutes I watched that movie. Isn't Jamie Foxx a comedian!? People were so sad that during one of the sex scenes the chick starts crying. Please...no crying during sex.
Speaking of sex...that was the only reason why I ended up watching 20 minutes of it! If it were any other scene that I accidentally stumbled upon it would have been a 2 minute perusal...max. Why is it that sex is so fascinating? I don't know but it seems like a good sex scene can make a lame movie AWESOME! Wait...that's what porn is isn't it? A really lame movie made awesome by sex.
