The God MC is bringing back “Hip-Hop.”

I stuffed myself with spring rolls again. Four rolls were all that I intended to have, no more no less. The fresh greens, hot peppers, shrimps, pork and savory dip (apple sauce, hoisin sauce and mixed fish sauce) were so damn irresistible, maybe just one more roll. But then again, I only get to eat and hang out with mom once in a while so one more just to keep her companied. Then a quarter of a red-hot chilly pepper is still waiting to be bitten so one more won’t hurt. Still there was some dip sauce left. Can’t waste that one away because mom had made it. So make the last roll to clean up the sauce. Before I could put my bowl into the sink, mom yelled, “Only a few shrimps, meat, greens and sauce left, finish them up.” The final roll was so big that I had to double wrap it. Now I am sitting here regretting and disgusting as if I have just put a big rock inside my body.

Obama’s Change: A Font We Can Believe In

Thank goodness, the sun has finally come out. The gloomy weather was fucking me up, as if I had been riding an emotional rollercoaster. My mood was swinging up and down. I was struggling with anxiety, worry and uncertainty.

I wanted to tell myself everything will be fine and the sun will shine again, but I didn’t listen to my own voice. The more I tried to think positive, the opposite effect occurred. At time I felt down, way down like I had nothing to look up to. My mind was tired, stressed out and unmotivated. I had written many personal entries, but nothing was posted. I had plenty of thoughts on my mind, but nothing to share. I had a voice, but couldn’t communicate.

Fortunately, I have someone to keep me sane. Thank you for keeping your faith in me. Your effort is deeply appreciated.

Nguyen Khang has recovered.

Our man HML had a crush on Co Hang Cafe:

I was always envious of the men who drank your coffee, smoked your cigarettes, talked to you. Didn’t they have some place to go, work, school, wherever, whatever? I was secretly glad that–even though you answered them–you were never really talking to them.

What a lovely memory, bro!

Nguyen Khang was checked into the hospital for overdose. The motive was still unclear whether he took too much drugs by accident or tried to kill himself. His close friends said Khang is in a relationship problem. Hope he’ll make it through. Hold on and stay strong, bro.

Top 10 Quotes Against Work: “One of the saddest things is that the only thing that a man can do for eight hours a day, day after day, is work.”

Although the weather is cold and the ice is still covering the concrete, I went out jogging. To be more accurate, I was out to listen to Ornette Coleman’s Sound Grammar the winner of Pulitzer Prize for music. That way I don’t have to feel guilty lounging in my bed. It turned out that I wasn’t the only fool out in the park early in the cold-ass morning. There were a couple hand-in-hand strolling as well as a man walking his dog. Whenever I see someone walks his dog with a bag on his hand, I can’t help but wonder what if the dog has diarrhea. How would he pick that shit up? As much as I like dogs, just thinking about that makes me not wanting to have them.

I didn’t quite understand why people love dogs so much I until I lived with them. Back when I first started working for Vassar, one of my roommates was a basketball coach assistant and he had two dogs. Even though he always kept them in his room, the dogs knew when I was coming home. They would bark until I opened the door. When I let them out they would run straight into the kitchen for there favorite meals: leftover Chinese takeouts. I always had to left half of a portion for them or I had to buy some for them. My roommate usually came home really late and when there was a game, he would ask to take them out for a walk. I didn’t know what I was suppose to do, so I took them straight into the bush so that they could do whatever they had to do while I was praying no one would walk by.

I remember the first few days they barked at me, but once we’re cool, they just jumped on the couch next to me and fell asleep while I watched TV. Thinking of them once in a while makes me want to have dog, but thinking of curbing after them and all the work to devote to, I still am not ready.
