Bonin Posh
Wow. I would have thought taht David Beckham would have a manlier voice, considering he makes the ladies faint for him. He sounds like me but more nasal. Poor guy.
Fuck i banged my hand up
my hand hurts. yes this weekend was shitty. even though i got to see jon stewart who was amazing. first of all, i didnt get to exercise. second of all, i cant spell exercise for the life of me. third of all, i got too messed up on thursday and now i cant pull the "i've never thrown up" card. fourth of all, i wasted friday night watching movies. fifth, i hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate clubbing. sixth, my friends depress me when im drunk. i just cant handle them. they dont even do anything, it's just that i cant look at them and i need to run away. sometimes i do. and i stumble home by myself miraculously or, just as miraculously, find sam. elventyith, the fucking cab driver fucking tried to rip us off and i am not stoked about this at all. 2408093w854th i hate clubbing. BLUth, thxgiving is going to suck, i feel it in the air. i feel it in my bones. i've analyzed it and i now know that notihg good will come from this. just me feeling shitty. sideways8th: i am so fucking sexually frustrated. it really sucks having yoongi so far away. not to mention that im horrible at phone convos, and lets face it she is too, so i dont get much consolation from that. other people have long distance bfs and it doesnt seem to bother them. the guys got out of their relationships though, which seems paridoxical because some guys have to stay in relationships if there are girls staying in relationships, right? wahtever. yoongi's not going to be here for a good portion of thxgiving and thats what matters. sucks. 2093580329850348-63840683240860348603486093484603486093840968th: i FUCKING, HATE, CLUBBING. IT SUCKS HARD. IT SUCKS A GOLFBALL THROUGH A GARDEN HOSE.

I was going to write about this, but i feel shitty. Yay facebook.
I come across as an asshole alot. It kinda sucks, but i try not to mind because i really do think that things are true or funny. But then i realized that other people can tell the truth or be funny and not be considered an asshole for doing so. I think alot of it has to do with my generally uneducated nature and my ability for being extremely inarticulate.
Sometimes, in order to not feel stupid, I back a side of an argument or whatever. Doesnt matter what. But generally i have no idea what im talking about. when people think i sound stupid, which i am, i have to defend myself so i dont seem even more stupid when its revealed that i have no idea whats going on. that usually leads to me making irrational arguments or me just being an asshole. theres number one.
when i finally do know whta im talking about, i speak too much like a 4th grader to communicate my idea properly. case in point, the last two entries. i upset a couple people with those posts, and even though they sound really horrible, i think alot of the things in it tend to be very true, especially here in sb. but the simple fact is that im too inarticulate to get these ideas across to you guys. its really too bad.
i thought about it, and the only times i can present a viable argument in which i dont sound like a dumshit or an asshole, is when i talk about myself or running. i can tell everybody what i feel, the way i see things, the way i process information etc. that is, if my mind allows me to put the correct words together. and then running. i think after 4 years of running nonstop i have a bit of an idea what im doing and what other people are doing. so fuck prutz his workouts are bullshit. and so is his overall coaching. but yea.
so my point is that if you want to argue or communicate your idea, you gotta be knowledgable on the subject and you gotta be articulate if you want people to a)take you seriously b)not get offended c)not kick your ass.

Like a Summer Rose
I dont believe in protecting my blogs from other people because i think that defeats the purpose of an online journal. But I got a message from May Chen, of all people, yesterday. Here's what she said:
"hey it's been a long time since we last talked. how have you been? how's ucsb?
ok, enough small talk. the reason why i'm writing to you is because steven told me the other day that his boss likes to google his employees' names. so out of curiosity, i googled steven's name and your blog popped out. it was not pretty.
i don't know if you can tell or not, but i like steven. take a look at my facebook pictures. i don't want him to get hurt by something you posted a year ago. he's been having a hard time adjusting to life on the east coast and he doesn't need this shit right now.
i realize that you and steven had a falling out back in high school. you are entitled to your own opinions but please, i'm asking you to take down that post (google steven's name, you'll know which one i'm talking about) not only for his sake but yours. it reflects pretty poorly on you.
speaking of things that reflect poorly on you, i saw your post about asians. not cool. i used to think pretty highly of you, but now i'm not so sure. again, you are entitled to you own opinions. but how does writing something like that resolve anything? aren't you just segregating people more? that post just makes you sound like the ignorant one. i'm surprised you still have asian (i'm sorry cantonese) friends. are you trying to renounce all your old asian friends or something? because that would do the trick.
sorry, i do think you are a good person.i'm just a little upset right now.
hey, if you're ever in the boston area, come visit me at wellesley. all women's college, you know. a lot of horny babes. you'd like that. about a quarter of them identify as some sort of asian, but hey, that means 75 percent of them do not. :)"
i thought about it for a bit and decided that she didn't know what i meant. upon thinking further on this however, i do realize that i at least need to clarify a bit more when i write stuff online. lemme take a second shot, may.
first of all. with the steven thing. i really do regret knowing him, not necessarily because of who he is, but really because this whole thing is a mess. because somehow we ended up hating eachother. thats what really gets me. i'll say it one more time, i would rather never have met him than have us hate eachother like this.
second of all. the asians. i was pressed for time and came off sounding a bit harsh and all encompassing. i really didnt mean all asian people, because there are so many asian people who are nothign like what i said. what i was really angry at is that the many asian people that i observe here in sb fit this stupid generalization that i described. i was lucky to go to lowell because there were so many types of asian people who went there. many many of them who didnt fit the generalization. but there were many many more who did though. it wouldnt be so bad if it didn't have such a bad connotation. it meant that everybody who fit the generalization was necessarily afraid to break outside their boxes. afraid to leave their comfort zone. as somebody who was forced to break out of his comfort zone many times against my will, this makes me angry. why should other people get to have happy, ignorant lives while i get to rot in these stupid, hateful emotions which i am not articulate enough to explain. thats how i got may upset at me.
if i was really a good writer, my point would have been made already. but im not. so i doubt i really accomplished anything here. lets see if i can sum it up. "many second generation asian americans (or at least the ones in sf/sb) are too successful at alieviating the pressure to break outside their comfort zones. they do this by hanging out exclusively with other asian kids. it really shows here. this makes me angry."
if it makes anybody feel any better, i really hate white people too. especially white girls. i think the only race that i really like are eskimos. they're too rare to allow group think. because that's where this all stems from. people think they're different, and think that they have to hang out with their like, and that just really makes people more separate.
whatever. im probably just ignorant too.
sorry may, but this really is how i feel.
