Christmas Day 2003

by skyrien

Ayayy.. it’s Christmas day already. I can’t believe it. Christmas 2003 is already here, and I’m JUST NOW getting started on the hardest of essays. Feels good to know that there are a few people (even some incredibly smart, highly respected people) in the same boat as I, but unlike before, I shan’t take comfort and lay back. This is the endgame, either I finish or I don’t, there is no, “we’ll A is still at this point, so I only need to be a step ahead of A.” Competition is all internal…

Heh… it’s been a while since cross country, I almost forgot what it’s like to be fighting against my own selfish desires. It’s just another race… another opportunity for glory, for recognition, for fair… ugh… right now, I desire sleep more than anything else (except maybe for the pain in my throat to go away…). Okay, shall continue this later today… Merry Christmas y’all… may this day be infinitely greater than mine…

If this isn’t motivation, I don’t know what is:

tainanhottie: and i’m gonna smack u silly if u dont get int either
tainanhottie: i’m gonna dish out my kung fu fighting skills on u
tainanhottie: with the chopsticks and everything
tainanhottie: no no…or the bamboo stick
tainanhottie: my mother used to use that on me when i was little
tainanhottie: it hurt like a bitch
tainanhottie: which is WHY
tainanhottie: u have to get in
tainanhottie: or undergo my crazy taiwanese wrath
tainanhottie: i’m not kiddings bout it either!!!!

Lataz…

The Wheaton Complex

by skyrien

Stupid overprotective paranoid Asian parents and their stupid lying American children… what now for innocuous, well-intended people like me…?

Yes I’m so pissed that I couldn’t stop laughing for a good 2 minutes… and YES, the urge to recite names very tempting… but in the interests of privacy, I shall keep this as ambiguous as I can (*altho that has been known to cause troubles..)

To you parents–I wish I could just sit down and chat with you, so that I can blow away your stupid contentions for this pathetic version of blind conservatism. This issue goes beyond race/gender–it’s all you… WHEATON-type people: conservative, overprotective, fearful, freaky, blind, fools. Yet… I still can’t blame you for caring too much the wrong way. Of course there are always dangerous people out there, but you don’t give kids the credit they deserve. They’re more aware than you think they are. I’m sure it’s mostly upbringing–a grown-into cycle of conservatism/ignorance, leading your generalizing self to be quick to anger and slow to understanding–a bad combination.

What are you trying to accomplish? You overestimate the influence of the outside world and underestimate what your kids already know. The ironic thing is, even though you’ve tried so hard to keep your kids pure and ignorant, they’ve likely already grown the defenses they need on their own. Of course if you knew this, your reaction would be to raise the knowledge/protection wall a little higher–which will do no good whatsoever, but still–that’s your natural reaction right?

I’m not directing this message at anyone in particular (though a couple seperate incidents come to mind…), just to everyone inflicted with the Wheaton Complex –the mindset where you believe that change is bad, ignornace is good, and hypocracy is the hidden agenda behind everything. Funny how your own ignorance backfires–expect a new generation of baby-boomer anti-archetypes.

Perhaps I am wrong though… I don’t think so, but at least I leave open that possibility.

Wallet Butt?

Butt Experiment

Hey there! Here’s an interesting experiment–get this: Anubhav claims to have found incontrovertible evidence that wearing your wallet on only one of your back pockets will skew your butt and make that one buttock smaller than the other… I think it’s time we tested this hypothesis…

Any volunteers? (no anubhav not you!)
