I Love White People Food

So I just had Easter Dinner over at Judo's house and all I can say is I love how White people celebrate their holidays with turkey. I don't understand why us Asians don't do the turkey thing, because to be honest, I think turkey is the king shit of poultry. I love it. I love everything that goes along with it. I love the cranberry sauce, I love the potatoes, I love the gravy, I love the corn, but most of all I love the stuffing. Who knew bread could be turned into such a tasty mush? Asians didn't, White people did. Heck, I love the turkey so much, I'm even looking forward to the "itis". Because that's what turkeys do, give you the "itis" so you can sleep the holidays away.

So yeah, Happy Easter everybody!!

I can't wait for thanksgiving!! (and if YOU are reading this, you'll doubly know why... hee hee hee).

Magaret Cho... Imitates Asians (?)

So the procrastinator that I am decided to watch T.V. instead of doing homework. So as I flickered through the channels I happened to catch a chubby Asian girl on one of the channels. And the big Asian supporter that I am, decided to stay on the channel and watch the rest of her show.

So she was apparently doing a comedy stand-up routine and I had only managed to catch the last bit of her joke, the audience was roaring with laughter. She begins to set up fo rher next joke and she immediately squints her eyes and starts talking with a Korean accent. Again the audience laughs. Anyway, it was all amusing but then I started to think about what she was doing. She was imitating an Asian, even though she already was an Asian? I don't get it. Yeah I can imagine a black or white comedian acting out an Asian. I can even understand her doing the Korean accent, but squinting her eyes? Yeah, that's redundant.

Anyhoo, I got tired of her joke and decided to switch channels. No point really in my entry, I just thought I'd share my views.... ....Asians squitnting their eyes to portray another Asian...that's just crazy! .

The Strike and Other Things...

Holy Smokes!! Has it really been a month since I've put a blog up? That's crazy!! Anyway a lot has happened...well not really...but I think that it's time that I put another one of these suckers up, just to let my fans (haw haw) catch up with my life.

Firstly I'd like to touch on the recent college strike. I'm sure you've all heard about it, so I'm not going to dwell too much about it, but the whole thing has really affected me negatively. Not only have I gained (at least) 4000 pounds, but the strike has put me in vacation mode that I honestly don't think I'll be able to get back into the whole "school crunch time" mentality. I mean right now, I'm sitting in my Pre-press Class and I can't concentrate on the lesson about Imposition and Signatures.

Albeit, the strike did do some good. I finally was able to get some rest and relaxation. The only thing that I had to think about during these past three weeks was to make sure to get to work on time, and out of 16 shifts, I think I was only late for one shift. Yay for me, Employee of the month (haw haw).

Work itself was quite an adventure. I remember dealing with two particular customers, that were very different from any ones, Once was a vegetarian (whom I had to answer questions to about meat) and then other was an igonoramus who had to meet my Scarborough side. I will post about them in a later entry.

Anyway, I'm feeling to read some celebrity gossip, so that's it for now!!

Sir, those are wings

So its been a while since I've added anything to my blog. I've been getting a lot of "Hey what's the deal with your MSN name saying 'New Blog...' when you don't have a new blog?" Yeah well you can stop your complaining. Here's a new one for you. It's about people at my work.

If you don't already know, I work at a supermarket. Yep. I'm a keeper.

So my job entails me to have to deal with people on a daily basis. It doesn't seem so bad when you think about it, but then again you do get your usual "pain-in-ass" customers and having to deal with those people is never a pleasure.

Well today it happened. Not only was this man a pain in the wazoo, but he was so stupid I just had to write about it. It all happened like this:

Man with Mullet walks up to the wing counter.
Me: Hi, may I help you?
Man: Yeah.
Me: What would you like?
Man: What time do you close?
Me: At seven sir.
Man: Then why do you got no wings left?
(at this point I look into the counter, it's quite apparent that we still have plenty of wings)
Me: Actually sir, we do.
Man: Where?
Me: Right in front of you. (I was now pointing). What kind would you like?
Man: Where? I don't see any wings?
(I look at him. He looked confused. So I grabbed a pair of tongs, stuck my hand into the counter and pointed at the different flavoured chicken wings).
Man: Those are wings?
Me: Yes.
Man: No those are legs!
Me: No sir, those are wings.
Man: No those are legs! Don't tell me those are wings when they ain't.
I grew up in a farm!
Me: Really? Was it a chicken farm?
Man: No.
Me: Sir those are wings.

Anyway it went on for another 5 minutes. I finally managed to make him understand that the wings we sell were split wings, meaning that the wings had been seperated along their joints, resulting one to look like a miniature drumstick. So after all that he decided that he wanted a box of potato wedges instead. Needless to say it was the highlight of my night.

Geeks Revisited

In my old, old blog I had this entry that categorized geeks into their different subclasses. But seeing as how I decided to delete the damn blog, I also deleted the aforementioned entry. Well, after much consideration (and nagging from Tall Guy) I decided that a new Reader's Digest version of the old blog is much needed.

GEEK
Pronunciation: 'gEk
Function: noun
Etymology: probably from English dialect geek, geck fool, from Low German geck, from Middle Low German
1 : a carnival performer often billed as a wild man whose act usually includes biting the head off a live chicken or snake
2 : a person often of an intellectual bent who is disapproved of.
- geeky

So that's what the Merriam Webster Online Dictionary has described what a "geek" is. I'm not too keen on the first definition; I think it's rather creepy, not to mention gross. Thus, I'm going to stick with the second definition. So a geek is a person of intellectual bent who is disapporved of. Why they're disapproved of, I have no idea because I'm a self professed geek and people just LOVE me! HA!

Anyhoo... I present to you the Geeks!

1. Alpha Geeks: a.k.a. Nerds. So these are geeks who are very intellectual but really that's all they are. They're like living books. Sure they know everything, but really they have no substance to them. Kind of sad.

2. Beta Geeks: I like to think of the Betas as the younger, way more fun version of the Alphas. They're the smart ones who are just way too cute to be geeks. They're basically like everyday people except they can recite you the periodic table of elements in order of weight.

3. Artsy Geeks: The Artsies are geeks who are very culturally inclined. Yeah they're smart too, but the arts seem to be their forte. Don't know the difference between Manet and Monet? The Artsies do. What about the difference between a Sauvignon or a Merlot? Yeah, the Artsies have the answer. How about the difference between a Bachata and the Merengue? They'll answer "song or dance?". Yeah Artsies are the shit.

4. Jock Geeks: The Jockies are the geeks who can really give you a run for your money in the Honour Roll standings, while acually running a marathon. I consider these geeks to be blessed. Not only are they smart but they can actually follow through form-wise when shooting a basktball. Yeah I wish I was a Jocky.

5. Freaky-Geeks: Do I even have to explain? Can't you hear the cheesey porno music in the background?

6. Cling-On Geeks: Yeah these guys aren't really all that in the brain department. They're basically the type of person who seem to cling onto a geek and is then in turn is perceived to be a geek by the rest of the population. So really they're nothing but parasites....JOEY BARBA!!

So that's all I can remember from the last BLOG. if anyone else can remember it...and can add something, just tell me then I'll add it in.

Cools

All this trouble...and for what? God we're dumb

So I come into work today and realize that the full timer Kimbo and our manager Olley-oxenfree were pretty moody. So I ask Kimbo what was up. Needless to say, the two had been arguing over some petty power thing that I couldn't care about. Anyway what intrigued me about this whole situation was how Olley handled the situation: he gave Kimbo a day planner. And this act has basically opened my eyes at how dumb we all are as men and women.

Consider this: An argument ensues between a couple. The man gives the woman a gift in hopes to reconcile. The woman accepts. The man thinks everything is hunky-dory. The woman is still upset because the man would rather give her soemthing rather than talk about the problem. The man finds out that the woman is still upset and again becomes upset over the fact that he actually got her something. Thus the cycle continues.

So I say:
Men: forget about getting the gift. There's no sense. Spend it on a 2-4 and drink yourslef to happiness and should you actaully buy her something, get her something cheap, so then you won't feel so used.

Women: Just accept the fact that us men are blind when it comes to doing the proper thing. We buy things because its nice, and nice equals good, and good equals happy. But should we not get you anything, it will just be one more thing for you ladies to bring up in the next argument, so really it's not you losing, but rather us men.

OR YOU CAN BOTH JUST TALK ABOUT IT. and sometimes it can be a good thing to have someone be "outside looking in", then u can get a whole new different perspective.

Booty Shaking Songs

My buddy at work and I were talking about certain songs that girls seem to love, and when I say love, I mean they take their little girly friends and run across the room to the dancefloor body-checking anyone in the way.
I've compiled a list:

1. "Crazy In Love" - Beyonce Knowles
2. "Dirrty" - Christina Aguilera
3. "My Neck, My Back..." - Khia
4. "Milkshake" - Kelis
5. "My Humps" - Black Eyed Peas

So that's all we thought of. I know it doesn't seem a lot, if any of you guys have any more songs... you can recommend it, and maybe I'll consider it.
