I changed my ethnic background on Myspace
I decided to tweak my Myspace profile under the ethnicity category. Although I am more Asian than anything else, I just didn’t feel totally honest having that as my official race on my profile. I feel like I am excluding other parts of my close family who are also a big part of who I…
When I finally wasn’t broke, this happened…
Last week, I had to drop over $1200 on my car! I had to get the brakes done – but not just the brake pads and shoes. Oh, no. I had to get the pads, shoes, calipers, rotors, and the master cyllinder done. And get this, it was only the back brakes that I got…
10-year sentence for teen sex thrown out
Many of you have probably seen this article on Yahoo! News from a few days ago. I just think it’s sad this kid’s life is screwed up because some judge wanted to prove a point. He’s lost some of his most crucial years to this crap. I do believe that sex crimes are horrible. But…
Good looking people in grocery stores
Has anyone else noticed that more good looking people shop and work at Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s than at regular grocery stores? Maybe it’s just my weird taste. The one downside to this is that I usually go grocery shopping after rolling out of bed and so I don’t particularly look my best.
Kiss my bumper, just kiss it
I love when people kiss your ass like there’s no tomorrow when they want something from you, then pretend like it never happened when they don’t need you anymore. Edit – May 31, 2007 8:42 PM: I realize now that the statement “kiss your ass like there’s no tomorrow” doesn’t make any sense, haha. Why…
This past Memorial Day weekend
Most of the memorial days of the past several years, I have had to work. This year, I had the day off. So I was all excited. The times when I had to work, there were always great parties, cookouts, shows, etc. going on. It seemed like I was missing out on the “party of…
Lullaby versions of rock songs
This may sound weird, but there are these Rockabye Baby! CDs I discovered by accident on iTunes that are really good! They do lullaby versions of Radiohead, Coldplay, Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, Bjork, Metallica, Queens of the Stone Age, Tool, and more… and then traditional rock bands like the Beatles, U2, The Rolling Stones,…
Allergen Calendar for Northeastern U.S.
Click on the images to read them better. Taken from http://www.hycorbiomedical.com. According to this, I should be feeling a little better next month, and a lot better in July. But I’m allergic to ragweed, so August/September is never a fun time for me allergy-wise. I don’t think I’ve ever had allergies in the Spring. And I…
Women in Rock, Groupies in Rock
Wow, I was looking through my computer and going through old files. I came across this long “editorial” or whatever you want to call it. I don’t think I’ve ever posted this, so here it is. Keep in mind that while I still feel the same way, a lot has changed in my life since…
