hmmm. it's been awhile. haven't done much. just been enjoying summer break and what not. well okay that's a lie. i haven't been enjoying summer break. i've been workin my butt off....tryin to pay for a bunch of ish. HOWEVER, this weekend, my frenz and i threw a pretty phat bbq/bonfire =). it was a celebration of the beginning of summer combined with me saying goodbye to most of my LA frenz....(a few were missin...dennis..sue...jen...susan....louie..hope......we missed u guys :( and anyone else i was lame enough to forget...we missed you too :( ). but anyway..it was fun..had about 20 ppl or so come out and kick it. (if u didn't know..i'm goin to hawaii for 6 weeks this saturday =) ).
i also saw "the fast and the furious" last night.
okay. so i take issue with this movie for a couple reasons.
1) what's up with the stereotyping of asians in this movie? (not to mention african americans and latino's too...) For a movie that focuses on a scene that was primarily started and continues to be basically run by asian americans, there was a disturbing lack of them in this movie. the only Asian American actor who got any real screentime in this movie was rick yune, who played the stereotypical vietnamese (nevermind that he's korean american) gangster.....ruthless, personality-less, and worst of all..SHALLOW. The only time we get any real insight into his background is when the cops bust down the door in his suburban (probably hacienda heights or west covina or somethin) home..and put him in cuffs as he eats dinner with his distinctly oriental (yes...oriental..not asian...) family. and what's up with that race in the beginning...where they cut to a shot of each of the four racers....an italian(i think) guy...a white guy...a black guy....and an asian guy. now I want to know....why the F*ck was the asian guy the one playing video games in his car???????? seriously. that pissed me off. This movie is a prime example of hollywood thinking that it can walk all over the asian american community....come on now...we were severely misrepresented in a movie that was supposed to portray a culture that WE STARTED.
i'll write #2 later.....that's a whole nother story.
in fact...i'm tired of writing, so i'm gonna end this here. peace. :p
ps. you notice how there's not ONE LINK in this entire WEB-log? i'm losing my touch.

this friday is national justice for janitors fast day. i think that rather than fasting, i'm going to wear my j4j t-shirt =)..wOohOo. really though, i think that this is an important struggle, and while it is an issue that predominantly affects latinos, it is important for asian americans and other minority groups to support and validate their struggle. i once heard that "oppression is oppresion, is oppression." meaning, if you are going to join the fight against oppression in one form...you must be down to fight against oppression in all forms. you can't only fight against the oppression of Asian Americans, or lgbt's (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender), or African Americans, or janitors. you must be down for, and supportive of the struggle to fight against ALL of these forms. United We Stand, divided we fall. =) If any of these struggles are going to succeed, they must have to support of all the other struggles.

what up everybody..im back..*soRtA*...
summer is here and i'm happy. finals were crazy like always, but i'm done, so it's all g-double o-d.
anyway...hRm...okay so some of you may know, and some of you may not know that when i was in high school, my cousin tommy passed away.
it was really kind of a shock, since he was only 16 and perfectly healthy. needless to say, it really shocked my family..and was kind of hard for me, personally, because i really looked up to him.
but this post isn't a sad post, it's a happy post. I was talking with a friend of a friend today...and we discovered that she was good friends with him at the time of his death.
anyway, to make a long story shorter....we had a really good conversation, and it's awesome, cuz i've never really had anybody to talk to about tommy's death. i mean, of course, family has always been there...but it's nice to have one of my peers that also knew him. =)
oKay that's it for now..i'll write more later when i'm at home.
peaCe.

i am watching j00 =)
