This blog is one that possesses no coherent theme but serves as the plate for my food for thought. And the most wonderful thing about that metaphor is that I do not have to do dishes. I hate dishes...

Working on my thesis paper where I speak about the relationship between the development of Chinese characters and Chinese vernacular/contemporary architecture in terms of construction and aesthetics.


I think i drank like 6 Dr. Peppers while I was writing it, which cant be good.


And btw, I can only listen to Nujabes or Miles Davis when I do design Work, even if it is writing.

Last Friday Of Vacation

Today last day of work till Chinese New Year. So vacations coming to a close, bout to hit them books again, party hardy, and rock out with my cock out. Anyway, long day today, but it ended, and I'm sad to see it go, and mad that my Tham Tham rain checked on me, but i hope papa Tham is quite alright.

So heres a rant i had a couple of days ago, but never blogged it.

I was on an illegal van back to Queens, and theres this fucking Chigger talking on his sidekick LX was talking really loud. He was discussing how this bitch did this and that as if he were hot shit. I tried seeing if i could see his face and what this chigger looked like. I usually would just put on my headphones and listen to my music, but the driver had the best of Jacky Chueng on, and of course, when one of the heavenly kings is on i had to listen to it. But this chigger was ruining my listening to Jacky!!! Later on he gets a phone call from his mother, and hes like "wai? mut see a?" he was talking to her with no respect, man this woman carried u in her for 9 months and then popped u out of her vagina which is probably one of the most painful things i have witnessed!!! (Knocked Up) Then he's back on the phone talking to some bitch about going to a party and shit. Asian parties, yes dancing is the female rubbing her ass on your crotch for a few songs, yes real dancing. So as people called out their stops, this chigger says "a sook, (his stop)" very fucking disrespectful. Wtf man what happened to manners didn't this chiggers parents teach him. As I got off i took a look at this guy to see what he looked like, he grilled back at me, and i was like man u want to start shit come outside fuck ill beat your ass and steal your steeptech. fucking chigger, no manners whatsoever.

Anyway back to the news, heres a photo of one of my students who is in the boy scouts!
Yea, i call him big head boy, he's a good kid though, gets on your nerves sometimes, but you know hes good at heart.
















After work chilled around, was trying to be rushed by Hooters McGee, but just chilled, in the end she didn't even chill gosh. But took some cool photos.

This is Louie's Silhouette.








This is Untitled. But w.e. haha you can dl the full versions from my flickr.

Long Day

First off, I would like to say, R.I.P. my man Heath.

Alright, so I had a 9 A.M. driving lesson. I showed up early so I found a place that made a really good lemon tea with honey.
Walked towards the driving direction, saw this. I was like damn I have a knack for finding Dead animals. This one is more gruelsome, than my dead squirrell. This got blood and shit, someone hacked this rat, or something fucking bit it, maybe a hobo. Anyway, I finished my driving lesson, did good, SiFu was like gotta practice more and try to remember steps, going be drifitng in no time.

After my lesson headed towards Babies R' Us up at Union Sqaure, as always I take the walk so i can save 2 dollars! As I walked up Lafeyette Street I started seeing all these satellite dishes, then I was yo they over at Heath's, so I was like why can't they leave him in peace. So as I walked by Broome Street where I use to party with Heath.

Fucking Media FUCKING FRENZIE, leave Heath alone, man, he was just not happy, it is hard, he just got divorced and lost his daughter in the settlement, and now you guys are just piling outside his pad. So I was taking this photo, and then the camera man on the left pointing, pointed at me, i thought i was in trouble and i was like fuck, hightailed outta there and went my way to go towards Union Square.













Along Lafyette they have this one block where its full of as you guesed IPOD ad's wooo IPOD!!!









On my way to Union Square, i saw this shop called Pie i should try it out one day, but it was just the chairs outside, that were pretty cool. Yea soo then After i bought the baby shower gift, i sat round in Union Square park for a while, It was pretty, i also bought a photography magazine its pretty cool, it featured the top images of the year 2007 it was awesome. Went to work, fucking shitlings 5th graders man. Anyway, I'm watching this "The Moment of Truth" on Fox, and it's pretty shitty, its just invading on people's lives to give them money, I would totally go on that fucking show, they ask me something like "If you could cheat on your wife without getting caught would you?" HELL FUCKING YEA!!!!! man i'd be honest 500,000 dollars is bread. Anyway, till next time, my negros.

I kno Im a lil Late but...


Why? (The King of Love Is Dead)
by Nina Simone

Once upon this planet Earth,
Lived a man of humble birth,
Preaching love and freedom
For his fellow man.

He was dreaming of the day
Peace would come to Earth to stay,
And he spread this message
All across the land.

"Turn the other cheek," he'd plead.
"Love thy neighbor," was his creed.
Pain, humiliation, death he did not dread.
With his bible at his side,
From his foes he did not hide.
It's hard to think that this great man is dead.

Will the murders never cease?
Are they men or are they beasts?
What do they ever hope to gain?
Will my country stand or fall?
Is it too late for us all?
And did Martin Luther King just die in vain?

But he had seen the mountaintop,
And he knew he could not stop,
Always living with the threat of death ahead.
Folks you'd better stop and think,
Everybody knows we're on the brink.
What will happen, now that he is dead?

He was for equality,
For all people, you and me,
Full of love and goodwill,
Hate was not his way.
He was not a violent man,
Tell me folks if you can?
Just why, why was he shot down the other day?

But he had seen the mountaintop,
And he knew he could not stop.
Always living with the threat of death ahead.
Folks you'd better stop and think, and feel again
Cause we headed for the brink,
What will happen, now that the King of love is dead?


Thinking of the great late Rev. King

Let's Talk About?

So I am into that stage of my single hood, where i am like what the fuck, where are all the women? BAHHH! Haven't been doing much with my life. Going to work, doing my thing, sleeping, dreaming about things i can't have. you know the same ole' same ole'. Ok so here's a pretty cool story. (Well not cool on my part)

My friend he(or she, whichever he/she prefers) goes to art school, he meets this girl, who i guess say is an alright measures on the looks part, but nothing to call home to mom about. So lets say, this sexual gender ambiguous friend, decides to go to a big digital gathering at the Jacob Javitz center and invites my our two other good friends and partners in life, but I do not go. then the 2 1/2 of these chinamen tell this girl that i had never met before, lets call her "sam" so let's say "sam" never met the golden nigz rong, and then my 2 1/2 chinamen go off and tell this "sam" somewhere along the lines that i rape and pillage on a horseback. "Sam" gets creeped out especially, when my sexual gender ambiguous friend, lets call him "Allen", "Allen" then calls me and says "AN RONG THERE'S A HOT KOREAN GIRL HERE, AND SHES MY FRIEND AND I CAN'T BELIEVE YOUR NOT HERE!" and "sam" hears this. Then before i ever met this "Sam", "allen" shows "Sam" the music video I Ran, the reproduction made by
3 1/2 Chinamen Productions




So then the first time i actually met this "Sam" she had already predetermined in her head that i was a freaking pervert.

Few weeks later, this girl comments on a photo of mine, and calls me pervert, i get offended, but being a gentleman i was like w.e. let her be.

Few more weeks pass, then she goes and does it again, calls me pervert. So i sent a very not nice message on facebook that may have had a racial slur. soo she sends a smiley face. I get more angry, eventually i decide if i want to set things straight, i should speak to her myself. I do so, and i explain everything i do not rape and pillage on a horseback.

Moral of the story is, bitches will be bitches, and i guess do not go to anything ur friends are all going to and their bringing a friend uve never met.

P.s. I bought a beanie from Paul Frank today, soo here is a photo dedication to Ariella

Working at Play, Playing at Work


Im reading a amazingly interesting book for my Writing for Design Seminar class. Its called The Working Life by Joanne B. Ciulla. Despite forewarnings about how boring this book is, I am enjoying it so far (this is probably so because I am a dork but thats off topic). These are all just thoughts, just exploring how weird us humans are and trying to kill a hour before my class.

The idea in one of the chapters is how we incorporate work into play. Even in areas and activities of leisure we find traces and evidence of work. Basically we make play sound like productive work. Terms like "Working Out", "Playing Golf to woo clients", "Basketball to unwind" "Jog for cardiovascular health", and the list goes on. We tend to justify why we play, forgetting that play is in fact illogical and inefficient. Just think of little kids. They get so much pleasure out of the stupidest things. Like jumping. My little cousin can jump all day, for no reason, and she gets so much joy out of it. I remember the scene in "Knocked up" where the little girl is chasing bubbles, and the two guys are amazed at how fun she is having. Work is Work, Play is Play. Stop trying to mix those two up in a laboratory to create a hybrid, wlay or plork or any other stupidness like that (lol plork, good stuff, no?) But in fact it is natural for humans to flip flop work and play. When playing football I tend to forget to have fun, as the inner competitiveness comes out and all I care about is work to win. Think about just the nature of football, the point is to but the ball over a imaginary endzone. But we make that task difficult putting 11 defenders with helmets and pads that try desperately to stop you. The example used in the book is Golf.
"...if your job required you to put a little white ball in eighteen holes, you certainly wouldnt do it by hitting it with a thin stick over lakes, hills, and sandtraps. The point of golf is to make it as difficult as possible to get the ball in the eighteen holes. Getting the ball into the hole is important to the player, but having the golf balls in the holes serve no purpose whatsoever outside of the game."

Ans then conversely, we try to make work into play. I dont have to tell you, you know everyone attempts to "enjoy their work" make it "not seem like work" Offices, firms and business try to "create a playful atmosphere".

So we "work in hope to play" and "play in seek of work" instead of letting "play be play" and "work be work".


Say that 6x fast.

Why did the chicken cross the road?


DR PHIL:

The problem we have here is that this chicken won’t realize that he must first deal with the problem on THIS side of the road before it goes after the problem on the OTHER SIDE of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he’s acting by not
taking on his CURRENT problems before adding NEW problems.

OPRAH:

Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I’m going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.

GEORGE W. BUSH:

We don’t really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.

COLIN POWELL:

Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road.

ANDERSON COOPER - CNN:

We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.

JOHN KERRY:

Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken’s intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.

NANCY GRACE:

That chicken crossed the road because he’s GUILTY! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.

PAT BUCHANAN:

To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.

MARTHA STEWART:

No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer’s Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.

DR SEUSS:

Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I’ve not been told.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY:

To die in the rain. Alone.

JERRY FALWELL:

Because the chicken was gay! Can’t you people see the plain truth in front of your face? The chicken was going to the “other side.” That’s why they call it the “other side.” Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like “the other side.” That chicken should not be crossing the road. It’s as plain and as simple as that.

GRANDPA:

In my day we didn’t ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.

BARBARA WALTERS:

Isn’t that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its life long dream of crossing the road.

JOHN LENNON:

Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.

ARISTOTLE:

It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

BILL GATES:

I have just released eChicken2010, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook. Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken. This new platform is much more stable and will never cra…#@&&^( C \ …

[reboot]

ALBERT EINSTEIN:

Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?

BILL CLINTON:

I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of “cross the road”?

AL GORE:

I invented the chicken!

COLONEL SANDERS:

Did I miss one?

DICK CHENEY:

Where’s my gun?

Waxing Poetic...




Of the many reasons why Obama should become president, I feel this is his greatest strength: When he speaks, people not just listen but actually take it into their hearts and minds. Here is a little of what he said at the NH primary:

We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.

But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope. For when we have faced down impossible odds; when we've been told that we're not ready, or that we shouldn't try, or that we can't, generations of Americans have responded with a simple creed that sums up the spirit of a people.

Yes we can.

It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.

Yes we can.


If you look back at the all great leaders in modern time the one thing they have all shared is articulate, emotion stirring speech. To get more specific, the greatest of our presidents have been gifted with speaking to the people. The greatest of them all arguably, Abraham Lincoln, had the ability to transfer his words into hope.

"We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men's labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name - liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names - liberty and tyranny."

Address at Sanitary Fair, Baltimore, Maryland" April 18, 1864

The gift of mediation, to effectively communicate while at the same time connect with the audience.FDR and JFK also shared his invaluable gift. I think it is impossible to lead without the seamless communication between the one individual and the people. Mind you, the people are a group of over 300 million in America's case. The greatest speech's of all time don not share a single theme except the ones of oppression, hope and change. Martin Luther's "I have a Dream comes to mind. The theme? In times of oppression he gave gave and enacted change. Winston Churchill's "We shall fight them on the beaches" during the second World War where a surrender of England seemed imminent.

we shall fight on the seas and oceans,
we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be,
we shall fight on the beaches,
we shall fight on the landing grounds,
we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
we shall fight in the hills;
we shall never surrender


England, June 4 1940


Again in times of oppression, hope is given that promises change.
How can a nation not be uplifted when their leader speaks of courage during abominably hard times? Although words can be hollow the effect it has on people should not be minimized. JFK's inaugural speech also comes to mind: "Ask not what your country can do for you, but but you can do for your country." Hope and change. Also does FDR's many radio broadcasts during the Great Depression. He went on the radio everyday to speak to the people. Now do not think I am comparing these men's achievements and accomplishments in any way to Obama, who has yet do anything. But in this society where the President is a figurehead and representative of 300 million people and an envoy for the world, an individual must have this gift. And in my lifetime I have not witnessed a president speak where I took the time to respectfully listen. Maybe it's because I am grown up now. But I do not think its that.

Yes we can

A New York City Story

Before I begin my New York City Story, here is a photo which will lead me onto the rest of my story. I was walking down Lafeyette when I saw this. Parents are just treating their kids like their pets, like wtf, what happened to loving and caring for your child and teaching them the right thing.

I was with a different group of kids today at work, and I was told i was working with a child who called the po-po on his grandpa because he was being mean, wtf is that shit man. So I was told not to be authoratative because he might call the po on me. Fucking little shitling, the whole time I'm thinking how the hell does his parents teach him, cause obviously this kid is just doing whatever the fuck he wants because no one has taught him correctly. Ok yea alright so, here comes the story.

I'm on the F train Queens bound with my co-worker the llama. We were talking sharing our thoughts on our day at work and such. I was seated against the wall, so to the right of me was the train doors. The F train goes through some of the richest and some of the poorest neighborhoods of New York City. One of the poorest being the neighborhood of Queensbridge, home of Nas and many of the poor inner city youth who have to do horrible things to survive and try to make it "Big". Sitting perpendicular to me was a middle-aged African Amerian male who looked like he had a long day at work and just wanted to enjoy his tunes on his mp3 player. The F train stopped at 21 Street Queensbridge, the train was stalling because the dispatcher had given a red signal. There were 2 African American children walking on the platform, they peeked in and saw the male sitting perpendicular to me walked in and grabbed his head phones along with his mp3 player and started running. Then all of sudden the entire train started talking about what had happened. Then I thought to myself what a bunch of apathetic fuckers, including myself, I should've done something to stop these fucking shitlings from robbing another person. But I just sat there when I could've just tripped the kid or pushed him or something. The man chased after them. The train started moving
and the entire train was discussing it. I felt horrible. Then as I got off the train, I was moving towards an exit, and I saw the man who had been robbed sitting on the train. I feel horrible for not doing anything. But as they say anything happens in New York City, I guess that's true except for others helping others.

Some Racist Shit

damn target yall mad racist what the hell kwanza just ended too damn!!!

Watching It like It was the Superbowl

Election season is underway. I been watching it like it was the Superbow. American Politics interest me in the wrong way, not the issues, but the numbers. It is a sports race to me. So much has happened in the past week, Barack Obama and Mike Huckabee both won Iowa, both a surpise. There are a few things that I am weary of...

1) Anyone out there know where exactly each candidate stand on issues?
2) Anyone out there know what the issues are?
3) Hiliary Clinton cried, is it passion or just breaking down because she is trailing?
4) Will Barack Obama be assignated if he gets elected because after all, we are not advance of a country when it comes to race.
5) Can you really imagine yourself saying "President Huckabee?"
6) Is Ron Paul really the worth the hype? and come on, he's not going to win. So people give it up.
7) I think John Edwards is going to be the Vice Presidential candidate for the Democratic party no matter what happens.
8) anyone care whats going on with the Republican Party?
9) Aren't all the candidates hypocrites by attacking each other?

With that said, "a nation under God, indivisible" well the political parties are divided, let alone the country and no knows whats going to happen when the race is down to two? Well stay tune, for the primary tomorrow.

Bill Gates > Steve Jobs...

Intel quits One Laptop Per Child


I wont get into the absolute stupidity of this program. And if anyone has seen the commercial for this program with that dumbass Korean from 'Heroes' , with him saying 'help a child... buy them a laptop...' (well im paraphrasing), its hard not to laugh at this program.

Hey, I have a idea in all seriousness; how about one toilet per child?

In Kumasi, Ghana, a country which privatized public toilets in the 1990s, private toilet use once a day for a family costs 10% of the basic wage.

In Kenyan slums such as Mathare it costs 6 cents (US) for every visit to a privatized toilet: this is too expensive for most poor people, who prefer to defecate in the open and spend their money on water or food.

Well.....

Well, lately, I've been thinking about her a lot. Her chubby cheeks, her squinty eyes, her laugh, the way she just finds everything I say funny. But this is so long ago and I just keep playing the tape of my time with her over and over again. Why? Because I am in love with the idea that I could love her. When I'm with her, my worries go away, but I never even got to spend so much time with her. But have you ever felt that feeling like man I know there's something special going on here, and you just don't want to let go? Areum Han if your reading this I just want you to know, I think it's about time I forget you and move on. Because I just can't wait for you anymore, and give up my happiness for a few moments. I'm not going to call you anymore and just get the voicemail, I'm not going to try, I'm gone. Sae Rang Hae Yo.

dammmmmmmm....

good thing alicia keys writes her own stuff ya catch my drift???

Link to U.S. News Most Overrated Careers




My Reaction:
This article hits home for me as an aspiring architect. Much like most of the 'overrated careers' the passion factor is so huge. The fact a career is overrated is the perception of individuals that are not in the field. The outlook of whether the job is glamorous or not has nothing to do with the overall satisfaction of a job. The missing element and the the most important is PASSION. If you have passion for whatever your endeavor is, it can never be overrated. And yes I will concede being an architect is very overrated. The long hours, the unlikelihood of ever being recognized, the years of school, and the low pay all factor into the equation. The the fact of the matter is, I love it. Case closed.

I Think Im reaaalll late With This But,....

who cares...

Ahhhh... the satisfaction...




Its funny... this is Mike Hart's and crew first bowl win. After the Appalachian State loss I felt this season was over then the blowout to Oregon further cementing that fact. But this is probably the most satisfying season the Wolverines have had since John Navarre was throwing to Braylon Edwards. And with Rich Rodriguez on board we even have a bright hope for the future.

I will sleep very well tonight.... =)

Happy New Year!!


Hope everyone had a blessed 2007 and even more blessings for 2008. Today I ate "duk gook" which is a traditional Korean rice cake soup simmered in beef marrow broth. In Korean Restaurants they give you a free bowl of duk gook for free. Patrons just walk in sit down, and receive a delicious bowl of duk gook then leave to go about their daily business. The restaurant hopes the free blessing upon the people will be returned ten times over onto them in the new year. Funny thing, I didn't even know this traditional until this year.

The Upset that Almost Happened-Playoff Predictions

I am a three days late with this but I am proud of the New York Giants' fight against the New England Patriots. I go to school in Boston, and I get a lot of shit of being a Giants fan. I boldly stated that the Patriots will go into the season finale 15-0 and lose to the Giants. That was back in October and it almost happpened. The playoffs lie in the arm and brains of Eli Manning. When he plays well, the Giants can easily be the best team in the NFC and when Eli plays like Eli, well...I don't know. The Giants had the best makeup to beat the Patriots, strong aggressive front 7 and big running backs. I don't know why we ran away from it in the second half but somehow I felt the change in momentum in the 3rd quarter coming. Whatevs so here is my Playoff Predictions:

Wild-Card:
Giants over the Bucs
Redskins over the Seahawks

Chargers over the Titans
Jaguars over the Steelers

Second Round:
Giants over Green Bay
Cowboys over Redskins

Colts over the Chargers
Patriots over the Jaguars

Conference Final:
Giants over the Cowboys
Patriots over the Colts

Superbowl:
Giants over the Patriots

come on you really think I was going to root against the Giants??? haha...well give me an unbias bracket because I can't since the Giants are in it.

Blogger Spotlight

If there is something I enjoy, its a well written opinionated blog. I'll be spotlighting some good blogs that invoke some thoughts and reactions whenever I get the chance.

Andrew Jones is a student that attends Boston College who is from Bed-Sty Brooklyn. I went to High School with this dude and played football with him also. He been had (excuse the grammar) a sharp tongue and his thoughts are never lacking in grounded intelligence. His topics vary widely but articulate writing always remain constant. Hit him up.
