man, i got a lot of crap coming up this next week.
hope i can pull it all off without a scratch.....on the bright side i know when everything's due. argh. hating school all year long only makes it hader to squeak by when everything comes at you at once. mainly because i've done absolutely nothing so far. however, i did make pasta a few days ago, and i'm planning on trying to eat nothing but fruit today. we'll see how that goes.....haha. man.

sick. we lost in the first round of the playoffs.
i think i have a softball curse on me. thats three playoffs in a row i've lost in the first round, not to even get into our pathetic late game melt down against the oracles two years ago. ARGH. maybe it's time i forgo any pride and just sign up to play for a stacked team.....hm......who's looking for a senior third basemen this summer? haha
so heres a typical tale of how small the asian christian world is in ontario:
i'm driving this girl home from ACF last nite, and she tells me she's in first year med. so i'm like, hey, i know someone in first year med, do you know this girl?
she's like, yea, how do you know her? i tell her shes my friend from church back in toronto. and then she says, "scac? i go to scac".
i was like....huh? you do? who are you? apparently she hangs out with my brothers aged people. how very strange indeed.
i'm starting to think i'm LESS then 6 degrees from all other asians in canada. it's more like....2...or something. i mean, when you walk into a place where theres a large group of asians, isn't your first reaction to scan for a familiar face? i mean, even if it's a place you don't EXPECT to know anyone. and usually, you'll FIND someone you do know. it's so wierd.....it really puts things into perspective when you realize that as a culture we've really grown used to and comfortable with the idea of segregating ourselves. i mean, we don't do it on PURPOSE, but i hear all the time people say "they just feel more comfortable around asians. or they relate to asians more". and i think this is just the WIERDEST thing, cuz i mean.....isn't that mostly due to the fact that by this point in our lives, we've already established ourselves and who we are? naturally if we were raised in an asian-centric environment, we'll be used to asian when we go off to university. i mean, i have an unnamed friend who's comment to me when he got to university was "how do you talk to white chicks man??". i dunno. that just....it's really really wierd that something like that is even a real issue. i mean, i can't RELATE per se......but i know what he means. i don't know if i even have a point. except the whole asian pride thing (er....azn pryde?) bugs me. it really does. why does pride have to be paraded about like a stamp on our forhead? can't it be inside us? it's a thin line between telling someone, and rubbing it in their face. especially when theres no reason to.
maybe we have our priorities misplaced as a generation? i mean, it's obvious our parents have asian pride too. most of our mothers are probably afraid of walking by black people? racisit or sterotypical sentiment isn't what we're trying to accomplish though....it's merely to celebrate our uniqueness. to acknowledge the fact that we have a distinct culture, that we're not willing to, and i personally think - are afraid of losing if we totally conform to western culture.
but like i said. maybe we're taking it too far? i don't see us nodding our heads in approval when somone yells black pride. or white pride. or jewish pride.
these people are labelled as racists, zionists (in a derogatory sense), the list goes on. i just don't get it.....

except infinitely more angy. yes, you read right. angy. on another note, there will be no visitation from friends this weekend. boourns. i'm free this weekend, please have no problems dropping by and bringing food. mmmm...food.....
on top of everything, i haven't downloaded a new album in like.....a week. at LEAST. i'm going crazy here man....although i managed to snag the new foo fighters before
i had to temporarily retire. it's amazing. i suggest it for anyone who's inclined to rock and kickass first, and take names later. SO good....
