| Why do they have to adopt a kid from Vietnam? They can adopt me! Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have filed paperwork to adopt a boy from Vietnam, according to press reports. The pair have three children -- Maddox, 5, Zahara, 2, and Shiloh, 9 months. A source in Vietnam tells US Weekly the couple have filed papers with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration services to adopt a boy from the Tam Binh orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City, which they visited in November. The pair have long been vocal about their desire to raise more international children. Their son Maddox was born in Cambodia, while daughter Zahara was born in Ethiopia. Jolie said recently, "If we're going to have 10 kids, we'd like to raise them while we're young." | | |
| well you all know that i don't write a lot of sentimental and emotional
shit...i usually leave that for my brother, but as the new year begans,
i look back at the previous years and think of my mama...a lot of shit
has happened to her.
so a week ago i picked her up from work,
which i have been doing for the past 7 years. but this time it was
different, it was the final time. see my mama got laid off from duke
energy, the job she has been working at for 29 fuckin years. those car
rides home are the rare times me and my mom were alone. i can't even
start to tell you had many heart to heart, funny, enllightening
conversations we have had during those thousands of car rides. looking
back, i can honestly say i'm happy my mama can't drive.
everyone
who knows or have met my mom will tell you that she is the most
warm-hearted, generous, loving person ever. well her biggest brother
was the same way, and now he's almost gone. you all can read it in
Ryan's notes. You know how when a person passes away, you tend to
remember how great and good the person was, even though they really
weren't??? well my uncle was an amazing person in every sense. he was a
good man, too kind to say anything bad to anyone.
so yesterday,
when David picks up the phone and hears the terrible news, all i could
think about was our mama. watching her cry is the most grusome,
agonizing, gut-wrentching ordeal ever. it always has been. all i could
do was cry with her. well mama, i know it's been tough lately, but i'm
gonna make it big in this world for you, make you proud of me. in the
past, my goal in life was to become filthy rich and own this and that,
but i have changed my values in the last couple of years. i'm gonna
single-handedly (well maybe w/ Ryan's help) move my family out of this
house we've been living in for God knows how long.
my pops may
love my mom as much as me, but no one in this world loves my mama more
than me. who else would have a tat of the word mom on his chest or
write "Hi, Mom" on his graduation cap? for all the things that you've
given me in the past 24 yrs, all i can give you is my unconditional
love.
love ya mama! | | |
| as you may know by now me and my 3 fellow opt classmates (vince lam & kris patel) were held at gunpoint yesterday at their condo by the 610 freeway...laying face down on the floor i thought to myself is this it for me? it was the first time in my life that i was praying to God to save my life...here's how it started...
vince dropped me and kris off first so he could back his car into the garage...me and kris went upstairs to relax...as vince is closing the garage, two black guys go under the garage door and point a semiautomatic at his face. they tell him to lay down on the floor with his face down. kris walks downstairs and they make him lay down also...i was still upstairs at this time, i heard someone scream and instantly knew something was not right, so i sit up on the bed...then this young black kid about 16 yrs old walks upstairs and finds me...skinny, about 5'5" with an assault rifle...i'm thinking his gun can not be real...he tells me to follow him downstairs and i'm thinking should i?
at that moment, i made a decision that probably would have affected the rest of our lives forever: i listened to the young kid...i was thinking, i could easily take this kid, no doubt, i mean he was not really even pointing the gun at me, he's like swinging it back and forth, i could just turn around and beat his ass down...but there must be other accomplices downstairs...what if i ended up fighting with the kid and it made lots of noise, the hoodlums downstairs could kill my friends...i just needed to be with my friends...so i listened...doesn't matter if i'm not scared of dying, i should not take crazy risks b/c there's lots of people in this world that care for me too much. imagine what my mom would do if i had gotten shot.
so all three of us, face down laying on the ground...we were all quite calm actually, surprising vince did all of the talking...me and kris layed there praying...the 2 thugs were the16 yr old and a large man around 40...possibly his dad. to be honest, i wasn't scared at all, probably b/c everything that was occuring was soo surreal. just pray i thought, and everything will turn out ok....vince did well though, he talked to those guys very calmly telling them multiple times that we didn't have much, we're just students.
FORTUNATELY, they left...they took my gucci wallet and my new phone (about $600 worth of stuff)...they took vince's wallet, phone, and his backpack with ipod all his school stuff for the whole semester!!! kris suffered the worst lost, they took his labtop, $500 phone, wallet, and his new ipod which he just bought exactly days ago! oh yeah they also took his old ipod...sucks i know.
the worst part??? this all happened the night before one of the biggest exams of our professional careers....competency.....but it could have been MUCH WORST...MUCH.....so God, I owe you everything. thank you.
everyone please be careful this winterbreak, know your surroundings, and look everywhere you go, like the cop, who we filed the police report with, said, "Even pieces of shit like those 2 guys need a Christmas too." God Bless and Happy Turkey Day.

| how did my 2 little brothers end up so different??? david: http://www.myspace.com/daveknockwin mark: http://www.myspace.com/mrkymrkwynn i raised those two boogers exactly the same...one ended up exactly like me and the other ended up...weird. | | |
| Houston Sports Update: NBA: possible starting lineup for the '06-07 rockets: c- yao ming, pf- shane battier, sf- bonzi wells, sg- t-mac, pg- rafer alston sick lineup...well that's what i said at the beginning of last season after we acquired stromile.
MLB: pujols vs. astros's inescapable destiny, who will prevail?
NFL: Is it just me or does anybody else notice that david carr seems extremely happy after each blowout lost? He smiles as if he has clinched a playoff berth. Why is he content with losing? I would be ashamed if I lost so many games like the Texans did last year that I would run like hell straight to the locker room after a lost. Instead he's going around smiling and congratulating the other team for sacking him 10 times. Carr is not only a joke, he's just a plain loser. At least he enjoys what he's doing. | | |
