As we approach the second inauguration of Barack Obama, I’ve been hearing a revived debate over whether or not he’s really our first African-American President. The argument is usually that he’s “only half Black”, so it doesn’t count. Our first African-American President is yet to come”. (There are also debates that we already had African-American…

“Average Asian”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnlkVP7MaB4 Haha, someone else who knows how I feel sometimes.
To all my left-handed friends…
I heard today is LeftHanders Day. Hope you’re having a good day. I know the world was not designed for you. I always kind of wondered if my life would be different if I was left-handed. I bet if you’re left-handed and you’re a pianist, you’re good at the bass parts 😉
I had to turn off America’s Next Top Model Cycle 7
Last night on The CW network, they had an America’s Next Top Model marathon. They were showing some episodes from Cycle 7. I saw part of two episodes and I had to turn it off. I was getting so disgusted! The show is flawed for various reasons. I won’t get into that right now. The…
Candlebox – Saturday, July 14. Winger fans getting a hard time.
A week ago, I saw Candlebox perform at the Recher Theatre in Towson, MD. To be honest, I wasn't their biggest fan. I didn't hate them, either. I was going because my boyfriend (Joey)'s birthday was that week. He loves them, so I bought us tickets. Well, I'm glad I went! I didn't realize just…
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…
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…
Earbuds don’t fit!
Am I the only one that has this problem? No earbuds I have ever tried on even come close to fitting. Everyone I tell has never heard of this. Are my ears really that small? It’s just kind of annoying because nowadays, the electronics that come with headphones/earphones now come with earbuds, which are useless…
Vote for the Worst
Original entry and comments: http://cherryteresa.greatestjournal.com/2007/03/28/ Based on all the “controversy” over Sanjaya, I decided to watch a few minutes of American Idol last night to see what all the fuss was about. This was the first time I’d seen part of an episode of AI besides the bad audition episodes. Sanjaya wasn’t nearly as bad…
Valentine’s Loser?
Original entry and comments: http://cherryteresa.greatestjournal.com/2007/02/13/ I’m not the type of person that’s like “Oh my god, I can’t live without a boyfriend”. I actually think I’m too comfortable being single sometimes and that I might not ever want to get married because I like being alone and I might be too picky. I’m not extremely…
