It’s a window into the minds of disturbingly stupid people we have on this planet. Think of it as a massive network of morons typing out their idiocy from all over the world since they like feel it’s their duty to share how stupid they are. Face to face, such stupidity would never come out because those online idiots know that’s it’s better to not say anything at all. While there are those ballsy enough to be idiotic in the open, they have very little friends. So to be free from the reality and the negative repercussions of their improper thoughts, they spend their time on-line sharing how dumb they are to people who care nothing for them. I do take some pleasure in making dumb people know they are being idiots….but thank god, compared to the people with good common sense….they are in the minority and will spend their lives on-line rather than off it. This is a good thing of course, because then all I have to do is turn off my computer and forget such idiots plague the world.

Work is still slow for me….reallllllly slow. Not because business is bad….it’s just the way the industry works. So I just started thinking about a few people I’m indirectly linked to with no real relationship with.

• My Dad’s Uncle’s Son’s daughter is the Aunt of Richard Park, a Korean NHL player I used to idolize back in the day…simply for being a Korean hockey player from California.
• My mom’s friend is the Aunt of Jinu from Jinusean…who gave me an autograph I never asked for.
• *update* My mom’s friend is buds with Ben Chung’s mom…and of course, my mom doesn’t have a clue who he is.
• My mom’s friend’s Caucasian friend is one of the breaksk8 member’s mother. Not sure who because my mom doesn’t even know…and yet was still rooting for them!
• My mom’s church friend turned out to be Mike Song’s mom from the Kaba Modern…whom my mom all of sudden started rooting for despite liking the Jabbawookeez more. Yup, my mom is pretty hip!
• My Junior high school classmate ended up marrying one of Gwen Stefani’s Harajuki Girls, Rino Nakasone.

What does this have to do with anything….absolutely nothing! I just wished my degrees of seperation were much longer…..so I can mock myself about how my dying uncle’s mother’s sister’s cousin’s adopted nephew donated sperm to someone I was related to.

And on that note….a friend of my mind wanted to hit on Mike Song of Kaba Modern at one of their MTV performances, but her girlfriend stopped her. In return, before her girlfriend could hug Yuri Tag, my friend made sure it never happened……who are they?

why should you care? You shouldn’t….nor will I if you think their actions are no big deal at all other than an episode of “emo-cutenes.”

Random Thoughts 1: What’s better than dreaming about flying through the sky and the puffy white clouds? Well, actually snowboarding on top of fluffy white snow while everyone else is at work. With my new Ipod and it’s play-list for snowboarding, I carved the slopes and landed a few jump thanks to some cups of liquid courage I call, Redbull and Vodka. I can’t wait for next season.

Random Thoughts 2: Despite the romantic dramas, dolled up pretty boys who says all the right things, and flat screen technologies, Korean Society is still backwards in many ways.

• Koreabeat: Hankyoreh: Korean Hospitals Failing Rape Victim
• Koreabeat: “More Victims” In Korean Pro Basketball Rape Scandal
  • “when troubles arised from this on the involved team the coach responsible used violence to keep the players’ mouths shut, and the team and the WKBL knew about the problem but did not take any public action and just covered it up. The team denied everything with abusive language and even physical violence when our investigative team asked them to confirm these facts.”

There was a moron on my blog who believes that others countries have these same kinds of problems (Captain Obvious to the rescue), so who am I to judge? So what does he expect me to do, ignore it? His mindset is exactly the same as those who recognizes problems but chooses to “hear no evil, see no evil, and speak no evil” since it’s easier to deal with. How noble of them. In Korea’s case, they need more people speaking out and condemning these acts and attitudes, each time it happens. It should not just be from the rape victims….but from everyone with any sort of common sense or humanity left inside them. The point is, you should not ease on what is clearly wrong just because you’re too lazy to say it’s wrong.

Random Thoughts 1: For the last 2 weeks I’ve been getting paid to do nothing…and for someone like me, I rather go out and do something else that’s unproductive….like drink redbull and vodka and play WOW!

Random Thought 2: When it comes to free information, some people learn about it sooner than others. So when I bring up a topic that’s new to me, I really find it irritating when those I’m sharing it with say “yeah, I know.” However, it’s not the welcoming “I know, go on”….it’s the “I KNOW” contest tone. The only reason I bring up topics is so I can discuss it with others. It’s not to see who heard it first like as if it was something to stake claim on. Sometimes I just want to grab whomever I’m talking to at the time and just slap them around so they can get over themselves.

Random Thought 3: I was also having a discussion with a friend about Breaksk8. She said they were really good and I told her they weren’t as good as the other groups. She said “what do you know, you can’t dance.” I said “true,” I can’t play basketball like the pros either but that doesn’t mean I can’t tell when a player isn’t as good as Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant. Just because I can’t dance well doesn’t mean I can’t tell who’s better. Then she responded with, but all the judges said they were really good. In response to that I said, “I disagree with them” because I care just enough to understand why I don’t think they are that great.

Besides, I think one of my guilty pleasures in life has been dance choreography which all stemmed back to when I started following K-poppers like Roo’ra, Young Turks Club, and even H.O.T. So I may not be expert on dancing but I do enjoy it enough to be able to judge someone’s ability fairly. If anything, if I said “they suck”…only then would I be comparing myself to them like a douche and I would never do that. I’m only comparing Breaksk8 to their competitors. Then I told her “breaksk8 sucked” just to annoy her.

Random Thought 4: One more hour until freedom!

Sorry foolio, the only two who can cuss and make cooking looking cool is Anthony Bourdain and Samuel Jackson (if he had a cooking show). Your show has the production value of a rap artist trying to do porn and humor that Aaron McGrude mocks. Nice try Coolio….but I’m sure the only people you are reaching out to are your fellow mile high fliers….so more power to you for finding your niche.

Do these ladies ever age? Last time I saw them was when I was in High School…..

cute…

…..I’ve seen…

Red Bull may give you wings but Red Bull and Vodka makes you aware that you have certain needs. It’s quite the aphrodisiac…so be careful if your partner smells too good when your intoxicated by this stuff. It’s rather potent….

Gluttony should not be a form of contest…besides, it’s sushi for gawd sakes…not aspirin pills!

Competitive eating should be banned….and all the food that would go into those contests should be donated to me! or those barely making it on skid row.

How do you know when something is good? You don’t have to think about it…you just open your mouth and say “wow…that’s good.”

How do you really enjoy something? Ignorance. The less you know, the more you’ll appreciate what’s not in your vocabulary or what you’re not capable of doing.

“It’s/she’s/he’s…. overrated.”  This common comment means absolutely nothing. Just because you, the overrated perspective, doesn’t understand why others enjoy something and you don’t…does not mean a song, film, or celebrity is not worth the praise. It just means you don’t understand why others get it and you don’t. It would be better if you just admit you don’t enjoy it because it’s not your cup of tea.

“Do people like this $hit? ” Do People like chocolate ice cream? What’s the point of even asking that? Just because you don’t like something a million people do, doesn’t mean it’s a puzzle or you have better taste.

“Get a life.” What does that even mean? Get a life like yours? How does that constitute as a life? Wouldn’t “fock off” be better?

“No one cares.” Unless the population of the world equals one, there are plenty of people who care. Just because you or people like you don’t, doesn’t mean jack.

Asian Fetish according to Gen the Angry Asian Girl

So the other day, I went out on a date with a man. A White Man. THE MAN for my revolutionary brothers and sisters. So anyway, as I’m out on a date this man, he’s telling me about his ex girlfriend, and he prefaces it with saying “so my ex-girlfriend, she’s Korean.” …and so on and so forth. It starts to hit me, and I’m trapped, and I don’t know what to do short of, throw my salad against the wall to cause a diversion and run for the door.Genevieve, I say to myself, because that’s my name, you’re with a Rice King. Stay Calm and try not to act overtly Asian and inadvertently getting him aroused.

Rice King see Asian Fever, see Yellow Fever, see Asian Fetish, see G.I. Joe.

After he drones on about his car, a new convertible beamer with some type of flecked paint and expensive rims (strike one,) about his job as a radio promo guy for a record label, I’ve got the best job in the world!, (strike two,) about his ex-girlfriend, she’s Korean, if you didn’t already know (strike three) he begins to tell me about his LOVE of Asian culture. YOU’RE OUT!

He then proceeds to tell me that it’s not that he has an Asian Fetish, per se, (Insert image of overly-tanned, beamer-owning, Radio Promo Guy, with Asian Fetish doing the universal sign for quotation marks here.) It’s just that I LOVE Asian culture SO MUCH, I mean, I even bought a 6 hour special on PBS about Chinese History. Do you know the oppression that the Chinese have been through with (so and so) and (so and so) and then (something else) happened. It’s so rich. I just really need to be with someone who understands it. I mean, I probably know more about Asian History than the average Asian American but it’s important to me that Asian history is something the person I’m with wants to learn about.

(Me. Gaping open mouth. Inability to contribute to conversation for the first time in the history of Asian Man.)

Here the clincher. Also I just don’t find your typical American White or European woman attractive. Asian and Latin women are soooo, you guessed it, the E word, Exotic.

Me: Wow, look at the time. It was nice having dinner with you. Lets talk sometime in say, the year of the dog.

Ok I didn’t really say that, but how great would it be?

So then, I go out on a date with a whole other different guy. Yes, white. Who’s really great so I’ll try to not rip on him so much. He’s a divorcee and he was married to a Japanese woman. They met while he was teaching ESL (English as a Second Language.) Six years later they divorce. Why did they divorce? Because she never bothered to learn English. She always spoke a badly broken form of English.

So I’m trying to figure out if I’m attracting Asian Fetishists because I am Asian or is Asian Fetishists are attracted to me because I am Asian. What came first, the chicken or the egg? Or am I a White Boy fetishist? Or maybe I have Asian Fetishists Fetish. And is it only an Asian Fetish because the man is not Asian himself? I don’t know.

What I do know is that I just really hope this whole Asian-thing is a phase. Like Trucker hats and Ugg Boots.

But for you Asian Fetishists out there, here are some guidelines:

1) Don’t blow your entire knowledge of the (Insert appropriate Asian dialect or language here) on us. We are not impressed that you know how to say “Hi, I Love you and you’re beautiful” in Cantonese or Tagalog or Japanese. Those are the phrases you need to know if you’re propositioning a prostitute in their country or origin. Guess what guys, we speak PERFECT English. In fact, we speak Engrish BEDDY GOOD. PLEASE TO TALK TO US IN ENGRISH.

2) Don’t tell me you love (reading of menu from a Chinese restaurant here) but give me the only American-friendly options like: Chow Mein, Fried Rice, Won Ton. We have a lot more than three dishes guys. And no, I won’t cook for your ass. So don’t ask.

3) Don’t give me a history lesson on my culture. I don’t go around telling you about the Revolutionary War and the Declaration of Independence.

4) Please don’t call us EXOTIC. I’ll hurt you. I swear I will.

5) Please don’t get tattoos of our words and phrases on your body. If you want to eternally communicate Strong Bold Persevere or what have you on your body, Old English letters and cursive is so nice. Plus half the time, SURPRISE! You’ve actually just tattooed something stupid on yourself like HARD LARGE or SUSTAIN. ALSO, guess what?

YOU’RE NOT CHINESE!

6) Its not special that you know how to use chop sticks. Over 1 billion people in one country alone know how to use chopsticks and they learned them at about the time you were using a sippy cup.

7) Don’t advertise your Asian Fetish by telling us about your Asian exs. We WANT to date you, but it makes it hard when we can’t help but feel were taking part of your geisha girl fantasies. It’s a free country, you can have your Asian Fetish, and I can have my choking fetish and we can all live together side by side. Just don’t tell me about it. If you do we can’t help but be conflicted. Does he like me cos I’m Asian? Or does he like me because of me? Does he like me because of my slanty eyes? Or does he like me because of ME? Is he trying to figure out if my slit is sideways? Or is it ME? Guess what guys, if I’m out with you, chances are you’re well on your way to laidville. Half the battle is already won. You don’t need to make me feel special by expressing your love of my culture. And you’ll increase your chances of me and you doing the funky monkey dance ten-fold if you keep your Asian Fetish where it belongs. In the closet.

Love,
Gen the Angry Asian Girl.

Someone Emailed me it and I thought it was pretty funny. I don’t know where it’s from….
