Hope you all had a great Christmas and got great gifts. I just remember there were a string of Christmases where all i would get were unknown books found on clearance section at sam's club, over-sized sweaters and jackets, or just gift-cards.

although i never made a list, so my cousins had no idea of what i wanted. i mean all i wanted were useful things such as pokemon cards or a ddr mat

either way, had a great Christmas so hopefully you guys got some cool presents that you won't trade in or return for cash and spend on other things....



-djbk

perfect gift

so i'm going through some websites on the internet (yes, the internet) on tips/advice on what to get for my parentals this Christmas....and yes, I still have yet to do the shopping but, hey, look at it this way i still have 2 more days....

but here are some of the suggestions they have given me to give to my parents:

a) love poem picture fram
b) carved family tree
c) tool kit for Dad
d) Chocolate bucket for Mom
e) Herpes and Chlamydia Dolls....

that last one would make the perfect gift.

i mean, c'mon its cute and its contagious, how can you go wrong with that???

anyways, hope everyone is having fun shopping and all, i'll post a Big Korea wish list soon so all 3-5 of my readers can mail me presents.

Happy Holidays!

-djbk

Merry Christmas....

so, i just realized a few min ago that Christmas is NEXT WEEK!!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS, WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN. alright, calm. but yea, i am in no way mentally (or physically) ready for it to be Christmas so soon. I need some type of buffer zone after finals end.

Anyways, hope everyone's finals are going well.



anyways, big korea loves all things asian: such as rice, rice cooker, rice cake, rice booze, rice pants, rice toothpaste, rice water, rice sofa, rice computer, rice 25 piece-dining set, rice heely's, rice end table, rice music....yea.

peace,

haha, so check out this story.

http://www.tmz.com/2008/11/23/mcdonalds-sued-over-womans-naked-buns/

my question now is: how did they even find these images online? i could just imagine the conversation, "honey i was checking out naked pics of other women because you are not as sexually attractive anymore so i have to find pleasure via other sources, and i stumbled upon you...."

then sue mcds.

home.

i'm bored.

tool box.

people on this campus have been annoying me lately. a lot of them are just douchebag, but most of them are just dumbasses.

for instance. there are certain people in my human sexuality class that are both douchebags and dumbasses. both of them involve some sort of sport that involves a bat and a ball. usually i can tolerate them, but the dude thinks he's some sort of hilarious, know-it-all, jock who tries to portray this image that he's modest about his God given talents. c'mon dude. oh and today he went on this mini-rant on "fuck obama" and "i'll take anyone on this topic." hahahahahahhahaha, cool dude. and his broad-shoulder softball sidekick who is on her knees for this kid it seems, backs him up by saying, "i voted for mccain, but i don't even know him...." wow, and to think that our generation was not hopeless. i mean, i don't care who you voted for, but back up your decision.

that is for my mini-rant on how certain people on this campus annoy me.

GO DO IT.

TODAY IS THE DAY.

djbigkorea.com officially endorses: Barack Obama


i know all 5 of my readers are going to go out and vote now. thanks.


AND NOW WE WAIT.

i gots the caffeine

so congrats to miss clair walkington for pulling her first ever all-nighter. i mean to think that just a week ago i didn't think she could make it past 2am, she has proved me wrong once again.

i'm going to blame her awakeness to the 2 sips she had from my full throttle, which is pretty intense for someone who never consumes caffeine, haha.

but yea, this is probably my 5th all-nighter for this semester and i'm loving every hour of it. ever since high school, i have grown accustomed to this pattern before exams and do not feel like i accomplished anything unless i forfeit some hours in sleep.

some may call this unhealthy, but whatevs it's my body i do what i want.

mmm....coffee

I NEED A BEACH BALL.

so i'm making my halloween costume right now, and i need a beach ball asap.

does anyone own a beach ball, or know where i could obtain one???

SRYSLY GUYS

this will make or break my costume.

that is all.

i got something yummy....

alright, so i have to be honest, when i first saw the trailer to this movie my initial thought was, "oh man, here we go again with the same old cliche sex-teen comedy movie that is trying to feed off the recent hit of superbad..." so i never gave this movie a second thought....that is until now. i just saw the first 10 minutes of the movie over at /films, and i have to say that i am officially convinced. so check it out and let me know what you think. and let's go see this.

Sex Drive Movie - First 10 minutes of Sex Drive movie (red-band)


....and that giant donut would make a great halloween costume, if i hadn't already committed to something even more amazing.

1 0 0 0 +

so dj big korea has finally breached the coveted 1000 mark for hits.

i assume that 450 of those are me, 445 of those are bgebs, and the other 95 were confused, drunk kids who accidentally clicked on the link on my facebook.

but woot. thanks to those that has kept up with my nonsense.

i've been slacking

so i'm sitting in the union right now for campustown challenge shirt sign-ups. i will be here for another 3 hours, but my computer only has 1 hour and 42 min remaining and i have no where to plug it in. this blows.

bgebs thinks i'm obsessed with this thing. its more like devotion to a great cause. grainger is more likely to be an obsession if you want to label things in that manner. it's almost unhealthy. but i'll save that rant for another post.

seriously, one of my pet peeves has to be a lack of outlets when i'm in a room. especially, one the size of the union. how could there be such a few number of these things when everybody in here has a laptop.

anyways, i think i found my favorite movie of the year that is about to be released. many of you will hate it, few will love it. it is a new documentary on the world of mac lovers. it's almost looks like it's going to be a mix of jesus camp meets computer nerds. how could that not make a great film? check out this link for details and the trailer:

http://www.macheadsthemovie.com/

back to sitting here doing nothing and waiting for more people to come and sign up.

maybe it's the alcohol talking but i get jokes...

hahaha, so i don't know if its teh booze in my system taking over but i found these hilarrrrious....

and so it begins.

welcome to october.

anyways.

so i don't know if anybody else has noticed this, or maybe i just get more distracted and like to stare at other people and judge them, but i have noticed that there is still an alarmingly high number of popped collars on this campus. seriously guys.....i thought the only people that did that were the cologne-soaked mannequins inside american eagle or abercrombie. But sadly I have noticed it all around campus. I really don't see the point or the purpose with popped collars.

a) they don't keep your neck warm
b) some people who have short necks and pop their collars look like a turtle....only a douchebag turtle
c) the only purpose i see in them is that you can hide a nasty birthmark, hickey, tattoo, or just an ugly neck.

how does one even get that many shirts on

how does this kid not get laid

word.

Also, i'm sad to say this, but i noticed that the majority of the people walking around with popped collars, are those of the asian race. I don't understand it, asians in general should know better than to succumb to that level. I see them all over the place, such as grainger where i have seen all sorts of popped goodness.

i hope this isn't a long lost cousin of mine

so point of this post, popped collars only look good on mannequins. and that's because mannequins don't care if you judge them. oh and everytime i saw mannequins sporting this look, i would be the one in the store fixing the collars. yea, sorry to those that worked in those stores and had to keep on re-popping the shirts. I was trying to save whatever dignity those mannequins had left. can you blame me?

-djbk

still holding on...

so i lost the button to my pants about a month ago, it wasn't because the pants were too small for me, in fact they were a little too big. but since that day, i have been wearing these pants and holding them up with my belt. so far it's been going good, no major problems yet. I'm still waiting for that day when i'm running down the quad and my pants fall down.....i mean, like that's ever happened to me before.....

but i think my button-less pants represent my life on how i am trying to hold onto something that I am slowly losing my hold on as it slips through my fingers. I have no control of some things, like these pants, unless i can learn to sew on a new button....but moral of the pants is that I have to learn to move on and forget about those button-less things in my life and let them slip away (or off) and go find some new pants that have buttons


deep.

oh and i found this while googling images for buttons.


haha, i never thought i would live to see the day these were invented. no more XYZ jokes for young kids to torture their insecure friends with.

alright ASB LOCK-IN TONIGHT

peace out

out with the "old" and in with the "new"

i can't believe that there are people out there still complaining about the "new" facebook. seriously guys, you know who you are....i keep on having to see your status pop up complaining on how "new" facebook sucks, and getting invitations to groups on "how to change back to old facebook" with some new application. honestly, this "new" facebook is not so different from the 5 other old versions that have come and gone. Literally, seeing the amount of time one spends on facebook daily, you'll prob. get used to within the first few hours.



so quit bitchin.

here are the things i noticed about "new" facebook:

-can't check wall-to-wall count (bgebs, we will never find out how much we have now 5 years from now)

-everyone has a status saying how much they hate "new" facebook and want "old" facebook back....even though back in the day they were the same people complaining that "old" facebook sucked too....

-lost the ability to scroll down ppl's profiles for hours....ie. bumper stickers don't take up the whole page

-i love the new groups directed toward Mark Zuckerburg asking for him to return us to "old" facebook

-in about 6 months or so, a "new" facebook will pop again, leaving this current "new" facebook as the "old" one everybody is complaining to get back

-this "new" facebook is somewhat more convenient since you can see the wall right away, and not have to deal with the 40 other applications some ppl tend to have...including the 5 different walls some people have, even though they are all the same thing. one wall will suffice for me.

- this is just dumb: http://www.new.facebook.com/group.php?gid=27504362262

http://www.new.facebook.com/group.php?gid=38092477536
really now?

there's a petition now.

so my advice to all you guys that are complaining about facebook....go suck it up. you are still using it about 85% of your time online so why do you care. it hasn't stopped you from signing on.

that is all.

-djbk

if only i could grow an afro...

so has anyone done this yet?

this is way more fun than it should be, haha. mal and i spent a good hour doing this a couple of days ago. let's just say that i looked pretty hot in any decade, and mal, well, let's just be glad she wasn't raised in any of the other decades, haha. although, her style didn't really look different from year to year.

also, everyone's profile pic on facebook is turning into this, i was confused at first where all these pictures were coming from. good to know the source now.

IT'S GOAT CHEEEESE

so last night was pretty interesting. many things happened and saw a lot of people.

1) never eat a bagel off the sidewalk while waiting in line for brothers....people will judge you


2) apparently the goat cheese bagel does not look that appealing....i mean i don't remember much of what it looked like. but here are some things that people have said about it: "first trimester bagel"; "bagel on a period"; "disgusting shit bagel"; "abortion bagel"

aside from the rave reviews this bagel got from the brothers line, i can't help but say this bagel was amazingly delicious. and to think i was willing to share it and asked if the two girls behind me if they wanted a bite. they refused multiple times. their loss.

3) i ran into MOUNTAIN CAIT and grumpy bear. cait was in a ridiculous outfit...naturally. she looked like a yodeler/dorothy hybrid only drunk and sluttier. haha. jk cait, jk...i kid.

also, i proceeded to do the robot inside pita pit...to which one of gbear's friends asked, "is he doing the robot?" yes kid, i was in fact doing the robot. gotta always be ready for a spontaneous dance party.

4) i lost my place in line, and i was the next person that would've been sent in by the way. So in order to make up for lost time, i just cut the whole line, and went straight to the front. I then proceeded to join the random barn dance dressed party in the front. it was clearly obvious that this asian in his gray t-shirt was not part of the flannel wearing, cowboy hat crew. yet, i still managed to get into brothers in about 5 min.

5) i pretty much spilled my whole beer on davis progressively through our time at brothers. he just noticed this morning that his jeans were soaked...

6) made friends with girl at one-world, who i will designate as "pizza box girl." she and i clicked pretty well by trying to build a door stop with empty pizza boxes. apparently she was watching over an un-locked bike outside of one-world. the bike did not belong to her nor did it belong to anyone she knew. strange. but our short time together was abruptly ended when our respective friends teared us apart. someday, i hope to see her again. maybe at one-world. the place we fell in love....

this is what i assumed she looked like based on my memory

7) yea anyways, i then proceeded to eat some old pasta at big and paul's place. no idea how long or old that dried out pasta was sitting there for. then i remember singing along to "lollipop (remix)" in big's car as he drove us home....over and over and over and over...

8) and as every night should end....i passed out on the couch of 706 while blaring the sound on the movie "i am sam." a great movie to watch to reflect on a drunken night i think.

anyways, off to the graing now.

-big korea

upgraded.

special thanks to ktina for the new look.

and somehow i am still functioning with only 30 min of sleep....

woot.

this is my forte

so i'm pulling my first all-nighter of the semester.

which signifies the beginning of the new semester really, 'cause if anybody that knows me well knows that i am pretty good at functioning throughout the day without any sleep....well most of the day that is.

things that were witnessed at the graing:

1) real grainger party tonight.

2) tbell trip.

3) the new volcano taco is not what it is hyped to be...their special "lava" sauce is weaker than the fire sauce they have there.

4) they jipped us a chulupa. and gave us 3 mountain dews.

5) the new big bell box = not the best diet for an all-nighter...

6) i just figured out how to add friends to my bloglist...so if you have a blog and want me to post it on the side there let me know.

big's jokes of the night:

"that's your blood"
"POOPER SCOOOPER"
"wait........STORED"
"say honest to god that you don't do each other..."

so overall, it's been a pretty productive night. now just few more hours to go to cram all this chem in.

-big korea

reply all

so if anyone is in starcourse you probably got an email from me.

and to think that i used to make fun of all the kids that accidently replied to the whole groups.....i am now that person, sad.

anyways, seeing how everybody got the email, clair and kristina should be in my group now, haha.

here is a video to leave you with so that you forget about my embarrassing email.



this shit is hilarious. if you haven't seen the first one, i suggest you do it now 'cause i know you have nothing better to do since you are reading this blog.

"Mistaken For Strangers" blog debut

so here's the film that marc, sarah, and i made last semester for the Apple Monumental Film Festival. Sadly we didn't place anywhere, which i still think was a scam. seriously, those weren't legit judges.....how would the manager to the apple store be a legit judge.

anyways, here's the film:

oh and special thanks to all my students that helped make the classroom scene possible.

-big korea

nutritiously delicious

so does anybody remember go-gurts when they first came out? they had those awesome, badass commericials where the kids would be skateboarding, yet at the same time sipping on some calcium-rich yogurt.....EXTREME.

but yea, i just thought of it randomly. it may be due to the fact that i am starving at the moment. apparently, they still sell these things....so next time i go food shopping they are going on my list....MARK IT. (that one was mine big egypt, so suck on it)














-could yogurt get any more appealing...and this knock off version of gogurt fails in every aspect. not only does it look messy, you have to use 2 hands to squeeze it. c'mon, how do you expect me to do a frontside 5-0 stall into a nose grab when i have to use two hands to eat my yogurt at the same time. fail indeed.

























-that's right kid. go-gurts are number one.















-3D GOGURT IS INSANE. who doesn't want to be visually tricked into thinking gogurt is splooging on their face when in reality it is actually happening. now that's some legit 3D glasses.

through the eyes of an asian...

this is what i saw today:

1) asian girl WITH an umbrella standing in the bus hut waiting for the bus to come....while there were many, like me, who lacked water protection. she was hogging everything, seriously asian girl? seriously? and you wonder why people complain about us sometimes

2) kid in my discussion class today laughing and chuckling at our TA every time he spoke because he had a foreign accent. seriously dude, you are in college now, and at u of i of all places which is filled with many non-english speaking kids. either you are from the south and have never came in contact with anything other than a farmers tan, shirtless white dude who barely knows english themselves. so i know whenever he couldn't pronounce "appreciate" or when he said "caught" it sounded like "cock" it's hilarious and all (the last one is funny i guess, haha) but lay off of him dude, unless you think you can go teach the class.

3) over sized umbrellas. seriously unnecessary. when you're umbrella can fit a whole midget family underneath it, you are obviously overcompensating for something.


4) teacher-grandma-jean skirt at murphys the other night. okay, lady, i don't know if you were really an elderly, but c'mon....you were wearing a button jean skirt that came up to your chest. You also had on your stylish hipster, flannel shirt with your black rimmed glasses. also, watching you dance in that wasn't the most exciting thing either. ps. you stepped on jaclyn's foot and she was about to beat some ass. way to go.

5) amazing cookies that our neighbors baked for us. seriously, you girls are amazing. even though i forgot your name and you remember mine somehow. way to be selfish like that btw...but really, cookies are awesome and anytime you need to transport your television somewhere, the greek and the asian will be there. also, everytime i run into you in the hallways, i feel bad i don't know your name, so during our conversations i try to think of ways i don't have to refer to you by name.

6) final fantasy 9. yes, i said it. the game is seriously underrated. i know a lot of gamers out there are saying that it was one of the worst ones to come out of the series. but honestly, i think its enjoyable, complex, and just straight-out kickass. the characters are developed well, it has a very simple interface, and the battles actually involve some sort of strategy. i mean i know there are better final fantasy games out there, but don't hate on this one just because you don't think its up to par with the later ones that were released. okay, i don't know how much more nerdy i could sound now, sooooo i should probably change topics right about now. oh and kenny is playing the game right now as we speak....he's at level 48 with freya and it's still only disc 1

this guy knows what i'm talking about

7) hurricanes. c'mon mother nature, if you are going to rain, why can't you keep it at moderation that we can handle. we get that you are pissed at us for destroying this world, and i should know since i did make that awesome movie on recycling....right guys....but yea, i completely agree with you here and that there are a lot of dumb people out there, but don't punish those that actually care. that is all.

8) chem 360. this class does not really have use of the professor. she may have lectures and teach us the material, but she does not incorporate what we learned in class to the homework that is usually assigned to us. although i do have to give her some credit because the last homework was not as bad as the previous ones. that still doesn't change the fact that her test will most likely blow.


9) sorority recruitment. i love how you all have the same looking umbrellas ladies. i mean, you all looked very lovely today and i'm sure you all are pissing your pants about which house you are going to get into. the day is looming ahead which will decided the fate of your whole collegiate career. many of you will be ecstatic about the house you end up in and create countless memories at bomb night at co's or classying it out at station. sorry for those that don't get into my favorite house, the ADPi's. they have a special spot in my heart. shout out to sabs, mal and all my other sisters, haha. but yea, nice umbrellas. keep up the good work.

10) joke-tarts. amazing as usual.

that's it for now, since i have nothing more i can think of that i saw.

enjoy and stay out of the hurricane.

these kids are cool

and people are complaining about not having enough role models these days

and i love the cocky, open-arms walk and the slow-mo in the end

there are many more videos online of the same and some with even cooler soundtracks to them:



i don't know which is cooler so i can invite them to all my parties

baby what is your call number, so i can check you out?

oh yea, library themed pick-up lines always work.

soooo case race is tonight.

i expect all of the grainger kidlets to be there. but seeing as how my team has won the last 3 case races.....i don't expect much of a challenge whoever is on my team.

oh and bk made a huge rubber band ball.

we are going to make an extreme rubber band bouncy ball video that will be very similar to that extreme beer pong shots video

awake.

thus ends this terrible declining week.

i apologize to everybody that my first post in a week has to be a pretty emo one...but yea, i can't wait for tomorrow, 2pm, when this week will officially be over.

seriously though, it annoys me when people get things they do not deserve.

hopefully, i'll have a new joke-tart for you all tomorrow, when i am possibly in a better mood.

this was my first lolla experience, and overall, the whole thing was amazing which was partially due to the unbeatable lineup they had this year. Serioulsy, I have no idea how they are going to follow this line up for lolla 2009. (unless they get third eye blind, right bgebs? haha, you know its true)

anyways, i wanted to go into what the typical lolla experience was like for those who couldn't be there.

sights:
-lots of bros and hipsters, some areas it seemed like a walking abercrombie ad

(http://djbigkorea.blogspot.com/2008/07/yo-broseph.html)

sounds:
-music
-and lots of dumb people trying to act like they knew about music and the band they were about to see
-lots of clapping

diet:
-does pot count?
-oh and water, lots of it
-other peoples' bodily fluid, seeing how we were constantly in a giant orgy in grant park it seemed....all part of the experience

wardrobe:
-shirt OR no shirt?
-if yes, do i wear my favorite shirt with that witty comment/drawing OR that tight, brightly colored shirt OR my concert t-shirt stating that i went to bonnaroo/lolla '93/insert-any-other-band-here concert tour shirt OR anything from american apparel?
-hipster glasses OR shutter shades OR aviators?
-bandana OR sweat band?


who i saw:

day 1:: started at manchester orchestra, then rogue wave, yeasayer, part of duffy, the black keys, one song for Your Vegas, one song for Grizzly Bear, then onto Bloc Party, into Radiohead

day 2:: does it offend you, yeah?, dr. dog, waited about an hour for MGMT, then EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY, okkervil river, one song for uffie (only for bgebs), lupe fiasco, then closed it off with rage

day 3:: what made milwaukee famous, the whigs, john bulter trio, newton faulkner, g.love & special sauce, blues travelers to listen to 'run around' haha, THE NATIONAL, then long trek back to see kanye

anyways, i'll have to post more on lolla later, i just wanted to get a quick post in here about the basics of what lolla was for me

i'll post on the disaster that was friday night later, and post some of my favorite pictures of the weekend

now i must go do nothing in naperville

in other words, i really have nothing to look forward to for the rest of summer now

peace out

big korea

hiatusness

sorry for the lack of updates kids

and by that i mean sorry to bgebs 'cause i think she's the only one that checks up on this haha

i'll try to get something in tonight

when worst gets worst...

soooo i prob. had one of the most randomest/most frustrating nights of my life....


let's just put it this way: clair remember when i told you bad news bears last night and how we were terribly lost....well, being lost in downtown chicago for an hour was prob. the most comfortable we felt all night. From that point on it just went from worst to worst...

i'm sure i'll laught about it tomorrow, not today though when i only got 4 hours of sleep last night and have to stand for 9 hours straight today in 90 degree sunshiney weather.

woot. all part of the experience i guess.

off to lolla day 2.

will update you guys on lolla, taste, sound, and sights later.

(didn't know there were so many different combinations available...and why does the chick get naked if you get the sun tan lotion...not complaining though)

http://www.addictinggames.com/goodnightkiss.html

(easiest and by far the most realistic game i have ever played)

http://www.addictinggames.com/magicfingers2.html

(this game showed me that mal sucks at giving massages)

http://www.addictinggames.com/IPQ.html

TOASTY

Quote of the night: "that's not a horse, that's a centurion"

wooow, my bad

BAMF

kenny and i got a tattoo

i wore it to work

and i think i intimidated some incoming freshmen that were touring grainger at the time.

bad day for them to set foot in here

who wears short shorts

Dear potentially pregnant girl out on the corner of green and sixth last night,

I am not sure if you aware of this, but your dress code last night was not the most pleasing image we wanted to see as soon as we walked out of the bars.

Your striking red flannel top that was tied up above your protruding, spherical abdomen section as it gently rested on the 2-size too small daisy duke jean shorts was a very bold choice, one i'm sure you may be regretting right now.

Perhaps you were pregnant and wanted to wear something a little more revealing because you have been self-conscience about your growing body. However, I do not believe that to be the case becuase my friends said that there was no way your were preggers based on their analysis.

Or maybe you do not own a mirror thus had no idea of knowing what situation you were getting yourself into that evening.

Whichever the case may be, i think you need to reevaluate the people you call friends because if the people you were out with last night were your true friends, they would not have let you step foot outside into the public eye in the state you were in last night.

I am sure you are a nice - perhaps even a little funny - person, however you did not make a very good first impression last night.

Let's hope that we meet again under different circumstances.

Thank You

Sincerely,

Various members of the student body on Green St. around 2am last night

::rap::

Rap is a music genre.Its hated by many people that believe in the stereo type that only blacks make rap and its always about shooting cops, drugs, money and sex. Which leads to another stereo type that says all blacks like rap...

1.Not all blacks like rap.
2.Rap's not only for Blacks.
3.Not all rap is about money drugs and sex...
4.Not all people who like rap are black

People who don't like rap, usually say
"Rap is crap that has artists like 50 Cent."
These are people who know nothing about rap, and judge it by what they see on TV.

If you REALLY know what rap is then you'd know 50 Cent sucks balls and isn't a good rapper at all.See the people who like rap, and actually understand rap know 50 Cent is not a good rapper.

Rap is poetry, despite what any other person says. Rap is like poetry with attitude,poetry with a bit of gangsterism. Look at Mos Def. That is a real rapper. Somebody like 50 Cent or Cassidy has nothing on somebody like Mos Def.

Most people say that rap degrades women. I don't really think so, because people need to realize..

A bitch is a bitch.
A hoe is a hoe.
A whore is a whore.
And a lady is a lady.

Rap has something called a beat to it, something that sounds catchy and something you can dance to.For instance Tupac's California Love is something you can dance to. And anybody that tries to say thats not a good song...well isnt there a rock song that goes "I've got 2 tickets to paradise, pack your bags we'll leave tonight."

Some people say rap is senseless and doesnt talk about anything.

Wake up people thats what music is.

The ability to say express yourself, and it just so happens rap expresses itself more than others.And anybody who doesn't like rap, thats fine, but dont talk shit about it when you don't even know about it.


word.


and even if you didn't read the whole post, the main idea to get out of this is that:

A bitch is a bitch.
A hoe is a hoe.
A whore is a whore.
And a lady is a lady.

i could not agree more.

clair, while you were napping...

so i am assuming that most of you are aware of the gorgeously sexy bowl cut that i used to wear on top of my head during my crazy years as a youth. Thus, i thought this would be an opportune time to go back and venture through the various haircuts that i sported during my awkward road through life and the various transformations that led me to who i am today.

this first one i call: pre-bowl cut/mullet if i let it grow out/little-asian-kid-who-has-yet-to-realize-asians-don't-play-basketball-unless-you-are-7ft tall

-i think i'm punching myself to show my mom how miserable my life was at this point, i think it was mainly due to the fact i was missing something significant in my life, which was:

i call this one: sexyness at its peak

-damn this one is sexy...i wish i had more pictures of my youth so i could give you the full picture of how insanely cool i was. i don't know which speaks louder: the bowl cut, the bowtie, or the glasses, or better yet the serious stone-cold expression found on my face....tough call

look how many bowl cuts are in this picture, haha

oh and i'm trying to bring this one back and haven't cut my hair for a month...we'll see how it turns out

So after wearing the bowl well into my late junior high days, i moved on to what was known as the "clooney cut." I did not know what the clooney cut was when i requested to get this style; all i remember is that my friend dj told me to get it so i told the great clips lady to cut it in that fashion and the rest is history

Moreover, this cut goes by the name ceaser cut
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar_cut

the next thing i did to my hair was probably the worst mistake in my hair history. As with most asian kids getting the bowl cut, a lot of them also thought it would be a good idea to get highlights.....yes, highlights.

Sadly there are no pictures of me when i used to sport it, but to help create a visual, this is almost exactly what i would've looked like if i still had it today...


yes, just soak it in while you can...and let it sink in, baste it on yourself if you have too

and this next one isn't even a haircut, but yea...

i call it the douche-cut:

no explanation required.

soooooo yea, there you go, and now you know some useless information about me and probably some things you could have prob. cared less about, but deal with it and use it to embarrass me in front of your family and friends.

anyways, i must be off, come to 88broadway tonight.

peace,

mallory's job is a heartbreaker

a little warning for anybody that uses the beloved grainger:

for any patrons (guy/girl) coming into grainger when mal is working

you will most likely have your heart broken in her hands

i just witnessed it last night. and it was brutal.

she may check you out that cool RSmeans 2008 edition book, but she will find a way to tear your heart in two during the process.

there are complaint cards at the circulation desk if need be.

thank you.

and stay safe.

ps. she hates it when you call her MALLORY.

i look more asian when i wear glasses

so this is what i do at work:

http://www.addictinggames.com/totemdestroyer.html

btw i just beat this game.

finally a game that i can beat dillon in...that is if he hasn't already done so

i get jokes.

i went and bought a new type of pop-tarts.

they have jokes on them.

i call them joke-tarts.

for instance:

Knock knock!
who's there?
Shirley
Shirley who?!










-Shirley you don't want to hear more jokes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(that's the one i just ate)

sars, you were right, i am having a lot of fun eating these..... it's like i'm trying to eat a pocketful of laughter with every bite.

deliciously amusing.

i really should be reading seeing how i have a book open right now

i'm bored at work again, so i decided to post two more application reviews that i never got to post in yesterdays discussion.




-i refuse to add this one (or anything similar to this) and also refuse to acknowledge this when i see this on other peoples' page. Seriously, how many different walls does one person need when they are all the SAME thing.

-and i love it how no one actually posts on these things other than the "creator" themselves welcoming you to this innovative, new, crazy FUN application





-there are so many to choose from, why can't i just be all of them....but really, what purpose does this application have other than knowing that i equate to being a "fucker", "shitbag", or "cunt"...all great qualities that i could add onto my resume letting future employers know that i'm a keeper.

-oh and this is from their tagline: "Answer 8 short questions and find out instantly!" haha, what 8 questions could they possibly ask to narrow you down to a respectable swear word....that must be the 8 most intense questions ever found on a quiz.

anyways, more from me later

-big korea

this one is dedicated to bgebs...

so if anyone has ever been on my facebook homepage, you will have most likely noticed the extensive application requests off to the right side of the page. Now i know most of you might have 2-3 requests they haven't bothered to look at, buuuut mine has accumulated over the year that facebook applications have been in existence.

At first i was just too lazy to look at what requests had been sent to me, but in a short time it was getting out of control on the number of requests i would be getting for the most random/pointless applications.

now bgebs has wanted to "fix" my facebook for the longest time, and before i let her do that i'm going to go through and analyze all the different requests i have gotten:

oh and btw, i have 180 requests (and counting...) and this is what it looks like when you open up my page...


click on it to enlarge to get the full picture and why it pisses bgebs off so much.

These are some of my favorites though:





-honestly, i'm flattered that someone saw a 1950's pinup and thought of me, i now don't have to walk around in shame that i am not worthy of being pinned up on some sailors shack




-if you wanted to be my best friend, this is probabley the best way to approach me about it since its such a touchy matter, this will automatically win my heart...and according to clair's "rule" i'm only allowed 5 besties so the next 4 to send me an invite gets the spot




-someone obviously has some beef with me




-i've never been violated through facebook before...and i think i like it




-truthfully, i don't want to watch real hobo's fight it out so why would i want to watch them fight via facebook....unless they are fighting for their spot on the corner of green and sixth...'cause that almost happened before and i was there to witness it if such an event occured. Apparently all the green st. hobo's have their own respected areas and corners, but on one particular night one intruded on the other's territory and all hell almost broke loose. Then afterward, the hobo explained to me which hobo owned which respective corner. Moral of the story, hobos have a very extensive territorial system.








-seriously, what's the difference???




-it think it's quite obvious what my sexual personality is guys...no need for an application request. but seriously, it's timid.




-i'm offended that someone had to send me this one....this person is not getting a mybestfriend application request





-if i was interested in you, you would already know, haha...although, apparently 2 people are curious though, hope they are not offended that i never got back to them right away...




-the tag line on this one was, "I just bought you as my pet. Find out how much you cost!" Nothing says true friendship to me when you let me know how much my time is actually worth to you.




-this just ridiculous, haha....most of the groups here are pretty pointless as well...so i'll go through these at another time


So overall those are some of my favorite requests that i've gotten up to this point, and i kept everyone's identity secret so no worries there in case you are embarrassed. But hope this doesn't deter anyone from sending me more, so i can maybe create a pt.2 on this topic. My goal is to reach 200+ requests people, so send away.

Anyways, i have one more hour of work, peace out brosephs.
