Oh man....I haven't been on here for a loooooooooooooong time that I almost forgot my password!  I've got so many passwords that I easily get confused.  Just the other day, I met someone who works for the Austin American Statesman and she said I looked like a famous movie star.  I asked her which one and she said the obvious Jackie Chan.  Look lady, I don't have a big nose like he does and my English accent should tell you that I'm not Jackie Chan.  Hmmm....if I had an American name, I wonder if I'd get use to Jackie Tang?  Nah....sounds too feminine.

Good news.  My sister got engaged.  Congratulations sis!!    Nearly all the women were balling their eyes when her 7 year boyfriend proposed in front of everyone.  I held my tears in.  If he got me a ring, I'd probably ball my eyes out.  So yeah, a new member to our family.  I've also noticed that the school I work at, nearly half of my students are somehow related to me.  They're all telling me..."you're my cousin so you can't give me homework"....I don't buy it since I sooooooooo am NOT related to them.

During our Christmas get together, I had a debate with my uncle.  We were both enjoying heinekens and debating away.  He out drank me; pretty good for an old man.  He was trying to convince me to move back in with my parents.  I told him that he's from a different generation and that we're living in America, not Vietnam.  My parents are still young and healthy and why would a 27 year old, move back in...wait, did I just say that I'm 27??  OMG......anyhow, yeah, so why would a 26 year old move back in with their parents?  I can see only if this young 25 year old did not have any $ or lost his job, then moving back in would be reasonable.  Or if the 24 year old parents are ill/disable, then yeah, he should move back in to take care of his parents.  But you see, I'm 23 and need my own space.  My Aunt Thuy saw my point of view and agreed with me.  I've graduated from college, have a professional job/business, and can survive on my own.

Just bought a new diesel truck for my moving company.  I guess she's my new girlfriend for now until another biped hominid comes into my life.  I think I'm gona go back to Vietnam someday.  Not to find a wife or anything but to see what all the hype is about.  I keep hearing people telling me to go back because it's fun and because I was born there.  Nah....I'd rather go and teach in Japan first.  Actually I think I am within the next 2 years or so.  No wait, I can't....*&*^!!! 

Did you know shaving cream works great to wash your face???  I tried it the other day.  It's more affordable, cleans it well and the entire day, no FLAKES!  I was using Neutrogena and Oil of Olay but that gets expensive and quite nerve wrecking for a guy walking down the make-up aisle; why don't they make an aisle for just facial wash?

Well, time to go...my eggs are burning.  Merry Christmas & Happy Thuanakuh everyone and have a joyous New 2007 Year! 

(Moral : Never shave your back or a kitty cat)

So I have a myspace account now.  I'm not much of a fan because there's just so much crap on there that I don't like and can't get rid of.  On the other hand, it allows me to play my Dixie Chick song (Not Ready To Make Nice).  Yes, I like the Dixie Chicks.

Well, I'm getting ready to move into my new place next week.  It's such a pain in the buttcrack to move (packing sucks).  After one year of moving out, I finally told my parents that I have my own place; they didn't take it too well.  My mom keeps nagging me to move back in to save $.  My dad was speechless but I can tell he's somewhat disappointed in me.  They thought I was living with a friend down @ UT all this time and wasn't paying rent.   

Once you've moved out and can support yourself, moving back in is not an option.  Besides, it's too crowded and I'd have to share rooms with my brother again...yuck.  Don't get me wrong, I still love my parents but I feel like by living with them, I'd never get to experience life.  It felt weird but I drank beer in front of them at our family picnic last weekend.  I've drank before in front of my dad but not in front of relatives.  Yup, I'm growing up.

Happy 4th everyone.  Stay safe and watch out for bottle rockets comin' at you.  Time for Houston again...damn, it's raining now.

So I've decided not to get a bike after all.  My friend nearly got killed two weeks ago on his new bike.  About 5 years ago, I nearly lost another close friend to one.  But man....they sure look fun. 

Hmmm....what should my next car be?  Oh yeah....here she is....

Does anyone know where I can find her?

So I saw Scarface for the first time. Awesome movie. My $150 van is finally running and off the apartment property; stupid managers. I hate these people. They won't let me:

1) Tint my windows to my place to keep the sun out
2) Hang tarp over my balcony so that I can have a shaded porch area
3) Put a couch on my balcony so I can just sit and chill
4) Fix my van so that it can pass inspection

I can't wait to move out of here. Only 45 more days. I think they're watching me like a hawk. I want revenge; I feel like making a trail of bread throughout the parking lot to feed the birds that wake me up in the mornings. Perhaps putting some shrimp shells to help fertilize the dying bushes will tell them to leave me alone.

I hate stupid drivers.  My car experienced ANOTHER hit & run last night.  It happened between 8:00 pm-12:00 am @ the Marquis Apartment on Metric Blvd.  If anyone witnessed this or know anybody that has and your statement leads up to a fine, I'll give you $50.

I'm so samad (sad + mad...+ = )...need to think positive happy thoughts...
