im rich bitch...

im rich bitchhh....

at first glance, this seems like a joke, but when you really look at the picture, we can see a much deeper meaning. We may have money, but we are still in shackles. We are prisoners to the system, to consumerism, to society--and the kicker is, we dont even know it. Money and no freedom-- is it worth it?

Powerful stuff.

the world is yours

"A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart."

I have a vision of the future. For the last several days, it constantly plays in my head. When my mind wanders, it finds its way there--in a time and place of uncertainty. I find myself afraid, anxious, nervous, and hopeful. Its there I see my life and its there I see... I don't like to get too detailed and too descriptive about dreams--for they exist in a different reality and they always seem just at the fingertips. able to barely graze its side before it finds its way into the abyss of some inopportune time. I dont want ruin this by telling the world. I dont want to jinx it. I want to cherish it, to pull it close and cover its face so it never has to see the ugly truth, to be part of the system of impossibility.

I hold in my heart ambivalence. I always wait for tomorrow, never understanding that it will never arrive.

this is what writing is about

"My task which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel -- it is, before all, to make you see. That -- and no more, and it is everything. If I succeed, you shall find there according to your deserts: encouragement, consolation, fear, charm -- all you demand; and, perhaps, also that glimpse of truth for which you have forgotten to ask.To snatch in a moment of courage, from the remorseless rush of time, a sapping phase of life is only the beginning of the task. The task approached in tenderness and faith is to hold up unquestioningly, without choice and without fear, the rescued fragment before all eyes and in the light of a sincere mood. It is to show its vibration, its colour, its form; and through its movement, its form, and its colour, reveal the substance of its truth -- disclose its inspiring secret: the stress and passion within the core of each convincing moment. " -Joseph Conrad

the world needs another bruce lee

The representation of Asians in the media have increasingly become more racist and stereotypical. Current popular Asian actors such as Kim Jeong and Bobby Lee have sacrificed their integrity for the big bucks. They have sold their soul to the devil. Movies like the Hangover (dont get me wrong I liked the movie) and any other Kim Jeong related fiascoes ruin the hard established persona of every Asian person alive. I hate it, I mean I fucking despise it when Asians are played as ignorant, effeminate, heavy accented me love you long time fucking chodes. Honestly, people who jump onto television or whatever and perpetuate idiotic stereotypes as bad driving, small dicked, girly, incompetent, nerds should burn in hell.

The age of Jackie Chan and Jet Li are coming to a close as they approach their 50's and 60's. I am going to miss these two guys dearly because they help promote the idea that we Asian people arent weak, that we arent just a bunch of pussies. After they leave, I really dont see a prominent, self-respecting Asian person in the media. Where else do you find such characters who lead action films or box office hits such as Rush Hour? Although they help create the stereotype that all Asians know martial arts, it wasnt such a bad stereotype. Growing up, I heard countless attempted jokes calling me Jackie Chan or Jet Li. Seriously, it wasnt such a bad thing. Those two people are very respected--nothing offensive about them. If you call me Bobby Lee on the other hand, I will be pissed.

I greatly honor the presence of such pop culture hits as Wong Fu, Far East Movement, Jabbawockees, and Quest Crew who have paved the way for Asians in the mainstream. It is not often that we are highly respeceted. I am grateful for such people as Hayao Mizaki, Michael Chang, Yao Ming, Ang Lee, and etc. I send gratitude to Disney for starring an Asian actor in Up. Although all these people are great, none of them compare to the mighty presence of Bruce. America, the fucking world needs another Bruce Lee cause the future doesnt look to bright without one...

cause me dont fucking love you a long time. I am a person, I am an Asian American.
