Dear 2007,
Well. We both knew this was coming. It’s our thing.
This was your year. The year of the pig. The year of wealth and prosperity and good things. There’s been a lot of that together that we’ve shared. […]
When the sun comes up in just a few minutes,
every second I become more warm and receptive to
the simple joys
that come from being completely loved
and loving completely.
… responding to fear.
This has been an abiguous and awkward topic for me to approach for quite some time. I’m feeling a hankering for getting out of my shell and writing again.
Personally.
And not for any specific audience - in fact, actively trying to ignore the potential audience of the future anonymous masses out there. […]
So my coworker KC was telling me about this new geneology site. Geni.com
One that’s a social network for families.
With the latest news on Myspace, sexual predators, and etc etc, I had to take a moment to still my head.
After all, rolling one’s little Asian eyes that far back into your head can cause bystanders to […]
We are a country still at war. And the rest of the world doesn’t really like us too much right now.
People die every day. You will too. Memento Mori. (Which by the way, is also the title of an awesome korean lesbian horror flick. I kid you not.
You did, in fact, turn the stove off. […]
You know what I love about traveling this time around?
Being in chill mode. I don’t have a panicky hectic pace. I’m not in a rush to see people. I’m able to have marvelous and intimate conversations with people without the distraction of urgency or some facade of being accessible and seen in […]

In as many moments of the day where I am able,
Please remind me daily, Dear God,
Of the capacity for joy that you’ve given to me,
The strength, confidence, and comfort of safety that I always have with you,
And the humility and grace that knows that
my existence is a product of your love,
and that only […]
Hey!
Listen to some dudes in Chicago who are drunk/stoned audio & video blog!
With several horrendous mispronunciations of my name!
For those who only read my text and have never heard my name spoken, here’s a few notes for you.
Min - as in miniscule … like some guys penises that i know
Jung - Not like the fucked […]
By recommendation from a friend of mine.

Desiderata
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations […]
There are a lot of voters guides out there but my pal Jeremiah has been kind enough to put the following together.
Jeremiah’s Voter Guide:
This election is very important. This special election is a direct
attack on the working people of California. If you live in California
you should vote and don’t let anyone turn you away. You […]

But I think I’ve finally done it.
I’ve hit my wall.
And it hurts. (Because, afterall, walls are quite hard)
And there will be some hiding & hybernating until I get some things figured out.
I think I’ll dub this my 100DayPlan.
Henry David Thoreau
“How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.”
Try to learn poetry. (Extra points if it’s in another language)
Either reciting others, or having the confidence and reasonable skill level to write your own.
You will immediately gain the reputation of being quite a good kisser.
Trust me on this one.

I’ve been pulling the adult thing at work.
Coming in on time. Addressing and escalating projects, putting out the professional communications, and wearing the adultlike shoes and avoiding wearing my hoodies in the workplace. I even brought a plant in to the office.
But inside, I still really feel like a kid. […]
