Hey look at this, a blog! Back in a country where it's allowed...
I've decided - I'm not a good blogger. I don't do it enough and then I suck at it. I can put other people's stories into words, but I can't do mine.
Anyway, back from China in NYC for a month and then I'm back out there again for who-knows-how-long. It's amazing what life can give you, the twists and turns...
Random thoughts...
1) If I ever have a kid, will I join the "cool" name craze? I'm kinda real tired of parents these days who name their kid something not normal. Whatever happened to the good ole fashioned stuff? Then again, I guess if I name my kid Brian or John, I'd hit myself in the head too. But Apple, Pickle, Pocko, Endo, Asso, can people try any harder?
2) Crazy what's going on with the Laurie Ling and Euna Lee situation in N. Korea. I put myself in their shoes and I'm just terrified. Please go to a vigil/do something/or just be aware and think good thoughts for them.
3) I am getting sick and tired of airplanes.
4) It's nice to have high speed internet again and access to blogs and youtube here. (I love my boy Tom).
5) It's nice not having to think about being Asian when I'm in Asia. In America, regularly, I think about Asian American issues. There, that doesn't exist and I just live. I could probably delve deeper into this topic, but this is why I'm not a good blogger. I can't "talk" it out on this thing.
6) An article on what I've been up to in China recently: Talk!
7) I could live in Hawaii. Really.
8) Gene Yang rocks. I'm listening to him on public radio right now. I went to jr. high, high school, chinese school, and college with him. My Mom used to call him twig and the host just called him a "heavyweight" (for his drawing skills). He just said no one has ever called him that before and I agree. Boy was thin!
9) My song of the moment. I hope to catch her show end of this month:
Missed you on this blog, B. I think you're a great blogger. You've had some deep "discussions" with yourself on this platform. It's nice to peek in the head of briflys once in a while.
Hope you don't think Ben, Jr is a lame name. I think Brian, Jr would be awesome!
Great "Talk" article!
Love this new Zee girl that everyone is talking about. This is my fave so far from her.
