Black Male Masculinity

One, two, three, four, five black boyz humpin’ around. Poor little ottoman.

The sequel: White boyz humpin’ the couch and laptop.

A Realm of Return

Haven’t listened to Thu Phuong’s Nhu Mot Loi Chia Tay for a while. Came back to it yesterday and stoned myself in her narcotic rendition of “Mot Coi Di Ve.” It must be that big, throaty, bad-ass voice and the heartrending violin that bring out the melancholy. Life sure is much lighter when you buried it in your sleep because sleep is the cousin of death.

Hom nay ta say om doi ngu muon
De som mai day lai tiec xuan thi.

Dear Mama

When I was sick as a little kid
To keep me happy there were no limit to the things you did
And all my childhood memories
Are full of all the sweet things you did for me.

Dem khuya thon thuc
Yeu me trong toi
Mo ve nhung ngay tuoi au tho bay
Ben me toi con mot diem phuc nay.
Dieu Huong
