Chinese Dogs
I was re-reading the book Thick Face Black Heart by Chin-Ning Chu when I came across this (unintentionally) funny sentence:
These simply rules of discrimination are common among the world’s businessmen and political leaders, as well as among Chinese dogs.
Apparently the author doesn’t think very much of businessmen and political leaders!

A Song
there couldn’t be a sadder day
than the one that i am in today;
the life that i once knew is gone;
and all that i have left is this song.
i couldn’t believe my eyes
when i saw you with another guy;
i thought i was mistaken
but it seems your heart was taken
and i thought, i’d just stand there — and die;
but the rage inside of me
broke out, flew up and soared free;
without knowing anything
i stormed toward him
and his balls met my knee.
the scream he let out –
more a whimper than a shout –
made me feel like laughing.
but as his eyes met mine a-staring,
i suddenly had my doubts.
i’d seen this man before,
standing at your door
asking you to come out for dinner;
he is your dad! and i am a goner!
blasted away into folklore.
there couldn’t be a sadder day
than the one that i am in today;
the life that i once knew is gone;
and all that i have left is this song.

Finding Faults
One of the most important things I’ve ever learned about life is that we should look for faults within ourselves.
I mean really look for faults.
In that way, we will know what we can improve on; what to change.
If we find that we procrastinate too much, we should learn to be more action-oriented.
If we are greedy, we should learn to be generous instead.
When someone finds fault with us, we may feel upset.
But shouldn’t we, instead, thank that fault-finding person for making our job easier?
Faults are opportunities — opportunities for improvement.

Kissing
My wisdom’s tooth almost healed already. Although it still gives me a little discomfort, I’m pretty sure that within the next three days, especially after the stitches are removed, I shall be able to do almost everything that I have done before. Including eating sushi.
And kissing.
