--- The open eyed rebels ---

Was in church last Sunday for the first time in years. ... I kept my eyes open while the prayer was going on. ... I used to do this as a kid too. ... Usually it was cause I liked looking around the room to see everyone and what they were doing. ... But then when I hit puberty, it was to stare at girls without them noticing ... And still later ... I found that I was not alone, and I would look for these open eye rebels around the room ... And if I did happen to catch another person's wandering eye, I'd smile or nod or open my eyes really wide or stick my tongue out or something ... It's sad when listening to Sufjan Stevens in the dark becomes a more spiritual moment than going to church. ...

On another note, I miss having roommates. ... Try these tricks on your roomies, if you get the chance. ... I think some of em will go over pretty well. :) ...

Lastly, I've added two new links on the main page to two new music blogs that I now must read on a daily basis, to accompany my already-daily reading of pitchforkmedia.com:

I had a conversation with a Japanese girl at the market the other day. ... There's tons of Japanese people in London and you can't really miss em cause they dress ... just ... like ... Japanese ... people ... would. (y'know, like Anime characters.) ... Anyway, our conversation ended with her telling me that I was a gentleman, and that she thinks all Korean men are gentlemen. ... I found that really weird because a) I'm not a gentleman. haha ... and b) Most of the Chinese and Korean girls back home know that Korean men are actually jerks.

And then it dawned on me ... It's cause she's Japanese. Her perspective is completely different. ... It inpired me to create the following ladder. ... This is the Asian Gentleman scale. ... It lists all the important Asian races and how gentlemen-like their men are. ... I know what you're thinking ... this is a fairly racist and stereotyping rant. ... But it's okay because I'm being racist against my own kind ... right? ... right? ... nigga WHAT? ...

The Asian Gentlemen ladder
1. HK men - They easily top this list cause they're totally whipped ... which pretty much makes them the most gentlemen/jellyfish like.
2. Taiwanese guys - They come a close second because they're also whipped, but at least they know how to leave the gf at home from time to time to play Tro-Dai-Dee and drink Coors light with their other rich Taiwanese ganster-wannabe friends.
3. Filipino men - From my experiences, Filipino guys are pretty gentlemen like, and they always seem happy. ... Unfortunately, they're all poor so they can't give their gfs expensive LV bags like the HK and Taiwan guys can. ...
4. Mainland Chinese - I consider the mainland China guys like taller, paler, non-smiling versions of the Filipinos. Pretty happy and normal. But I know there's a few mainland brothers who beat their wives and aren't afraid to throw a drink in a girl's face cause she made the tofu dish too spicy at dinner ...
5. Vietnamese guys - Viet guys are definitely loyal to their gfs. ... So much so that if you so much as look at their girl, the Viet guy will beat you with a lead pipe while 80 of his short, Prelude-driving, switch-blade carrying gang-homeys watch and eat Vermicelli noodles. ...
6. Korean guys - Complete assholes
7. Japanese guys - Complete assholes ... and perverted.

So there you have it. ... That Japanese girl I met at the market was probably only with Japanese guys ... so for her, Korean guys are actually gentlemen. ...

--- Tuesday night ... boredom sets in ---

I just downloaded "Beauty and the Beast". ... The Disney movie, not the really lame daytime soap that aired back in 1987 and actually starred Linda Hamilton during her Terminator days. ... Anyhoo ... Beauty and the Beast is my Christmas movie. ... I know everyone has one, and hard as it is to admit ... Beauty and the Beast is mine.

From a bird's eye view, Beauty and the Beast really is that timeless classic about inner beauty overpowering physical beauty. ... Love is more important than big boobs or white teeth, etc. etc. ... It's cliche, but we all pretty much know it's true. ... But if you look at this innocent Disney movie on it's most surface level, it gets a little frightening.

- Belle is held captive by a beast.
- They hate eachother and the beast refuses to feed her or tend to her needs unless she does as he tells her.
- They eventually fall in love and live happily ever after.

Isn't it sick? ... This movie teaches young kids that it's okay to kidnap people and hold them captive cause if you keep them long enough, they're going to end up loving you. ... I suppose the time has come for me to go out there and abduct the girl of my dreams. ...

Updated Jack Kim's blog site. ... I didn't realize that the link I had was directed to his political discussion blog. (It's really really boring to anyone without PhD, MD, MBA or some other length of letters after their name ) ... So here's Jack's new and fun blog, which I just discovered yesterday.

Added Monica Harvey's MSN spaces site. ... MSN spaces has not yet become the new Xanga. ... But I still hate it and should refuse anyone who has a site on that shit portal to share space on my webpage. ... But alas, I did eventually cave and put xanga sites on. ... So I guess I can do the same with MSN Spaces. Besides, I don't think Monica's reading this anyway and I only go to her site when it's good.

Lastly, I think I need a new look on this website. ... Anyone have any ideas? ...

--- Now that I'm older ... my heart is colder ---

The above is an excerpt from the Arcade Fire song "Wake up". Many, if not all, or perhaps none of you know that it was my birthday last weekend. ... I got to thinking about what I was doing with my life and where this new year would take me. ... The quote from this song rings true to me on so many levels. ... ... How callous and sarcastic and cynical have I gotten, especially in these last 2 or 3 post-University years? ... How much colder do we all get as the birthday candles get blown out again and again? ...

Aww crap. ... Alright fine so I didn't really think at all about any of this during my birthday. I did, however, get really drunk, then really baked, then really unconscious.

... I honestly didn't want to do anything ... until I decided it would be best to go watch hockey at London's only Canadian bar and get really drunk off numerous pints of Sleeman's and the consecutive downing of 5 straight Tequila shots in a span of 3 minutes. ... But I survived. Yay me. ... On a whole, I give my birthday weekend 7 brutal hangovers out of a possible 10 brutal hangovers. ...

Hey look! ... Go see the pictures from my trip to Paris. ... They're a bit old, but I finally put em up.

Y'know, there's really no difference between being 26 and being 30. ... I turned 26 last weekend, which is really no big deal. (God I wish I was 18!!!) ... But the way I figure it, I'm going to spend this next year thinking to myself: "Geez I'm gonna be 27 soon." ... And let's face it, when you turn 27 you stop counting age completely and just round up. ... Basic grade 5 rounding rules will tell you that you can't round 27 to 30 ... and that 27.5 or higher is the ACTUAL age that you'd use to round up to 30. ... But my rule is more like the Price-Is-Right, where your bid can't go over the actual retail value of the item you're bidding on. ... Or something like that ... So basically with my rounding rule you just round up to the nearest multiple of 5. ... And there you have it, last Sunday I turned 30. ... But I'm not bitter. Not in the slightest. ...

This morning my cell phone ran out of batteries, so I had to make a call from a phone booth. ... Standing in that cramped space made me wonder ... why the hell did Superman change in phone booths? ... A phone booth is essentially a big ass GLASS box. ... Last time I checked, glass was transparent and didn't quite offer the most cover for doing things like pre-heroic-rescue, alter-ego transformations. ... Furthermore, the large majority of phone booths are in public places like BUSY street corners. ... I don't get it. ... Don't even get me started on Clark Kent's disguise...
