quotes of the morning, mostly from my lovely wife... and there's more...

dear world,

1. "why don't chinese people have any class"

2. "if you sleep next to mommy, you can't hold my arm"

3. "just because they have money..."

4. "they (the chinese) are buying up estates"

5. "i washed them, boiled them for 5 minutes, (speaking of sanitizing/sterilizing some cookie cutters)

6. "cheese 'namasuh'"

7. "dip dip 'hanunguh'"

8. "i have to go to home depot"

9. "do me a favor, go outside and start my car... how can you say that, i'm touching pork... you treat me like a slave... i can't believe it... if i was lying down, i would understand..."

10. "call smart tuition, find out what's going on"

11. "throw away lexus 'yongujuhm', papa"

the beauty of being able to type anything i want, and posting it... it's so cathartic. i was talking to a wonderful intercultural/inter-racial couple at my church yesterday, and i got some serious nuggets of wisdom from them.

let me do a quick background:
female korean, from the korean hills/sticks
caucasian male, was in the air force

so the two marry and live happily ever after... 14 years would pass before she was allowed to go back to korea. her family wanted to make sure, the elder uncles and family all passed away, before it would be a 'comfortable situation'... i don't know if you can get what i'm tryin' to say, it's just that as a group of people, my culture and history is so freakin' closed minded, i cannot believe what it means sometimes to be korean... as i often tell others... i'm korean when it's convenient... i'm american the same way, i'm also dominican, and chilean, if it will give me an edge...

just another quick note about racial profiling. i ran into a dark and lovely gal at one of my fave hangouts... she is totally excellent. a young woman who is in her first or second year of college. what i want to add is that she had an interview with yale university, her romanized name is something like jane hakunamatata. one of the first questions was 'where are you from'...? her quick answer is "new jersey"... just by saying new jersey she nailed her coffin shut. her parents are from nigeria, and if she used the nigeria card, quite frankly, she probably would have been accepted to yale as opposed to being wait-listed. one or two questions, and the following one or two answers... in your life, can be very pivotal. please young people realize that most adults are trying to help you...

let us help you by your helping yourself... don't be a dumbass, use the system, or be used...

i have to let you all go... time to figure out why i am not getting credit for the checks that i sent to my daughter's school...

all the best,
