chopin isn’t helping
thanks everyone for continuing to leave comments on my lame rigormortis blog entries. they make me feel better.
things have been wildly busy. a million things have happened, all good, some so so. just living life, mang.
i’m HELLA overwhelmed with juggling kettlebells at work. reliable mantras to keep me sane: “stay calm and carry on. also: “try your best, leave the rest.” there’s also the “rock in the river” guiding principle.
this website is infected with invisible, insidious spam. just google thebittermelon.org and you’ll see what i’m talking about. that’s something that’ll have to be addressed.
my sister’s birthday is coming up. she’s a san jose family shelter worker now, which is awesome.
i saw tropic thunder with my dad. can’t say it’s the most comfortable thing having to sit together through at least 50 loud and clear usages of the word “pu$$y.” not to mention explicit descriptions of what pleasurable acts one can perform on another’s genitalia, as well as a rap song whose chorus and refrain is “i love the pu$$y.”
my dad just called me and said, “i saw a really funny movie. way better than that ‘tropical storm’ one. pineapple express. very good.” yeah.
he also told me over the weekend that women cannot be complete without children. after my protests of this being a clearly sexist statement, he calmly warned me: “dan dan, listen to me carefully. everything daddy say will be right one day.”
i’m off to channel a lot of anger and anxiety through kickboxing now.

just imagine – every time your foot lands a kick, it flattens the face of a baby.

He probably meant to say women cannot be complete without invisible, insidious spam.

Can I please meet your dad?

anger & anxiety: begone! easier said than done, i know. battling my own demons here.
funny, my dad wants to see “tropic thunder” with me, too. i did see “lust, caution” with my parents. because we’re ang lee fans. “brokeback mt.” probably would’ve been more difficult to watch together – dad has trouble dealing with gay sex. understandable.
i think my parents probably think the same thing about bearing children, though they’ve never said it in the same words. there’s always the “you’ll see what we mean eventually.”

Your dad sounds like a very wise man. Also, please upgrade WordPress like I keep telling you to do.

Somehow the thought of you kickboxing reminds me of this:
