Category Archives: Friday Five

1. What was your biggest accomplishment this year? My graduation from college after MANY, MANY, long years.
2. What was your biggest disappointment? The breakup of my relationship with Suzanne. It was really unexpected and it really hit me hard.
3. Will you be making any New Year’s resolutions? **sigh** Still thinking about it; I got 3 days left to decide.
4. Where will you be at midnight? Do you wish you could be somewhere else? I was suppose to attend a party in Napa with my friends. However, I am thinking about flaking out and just staying home. I really don’t have a reason to celebrate this year. I wish that I could hang out with Suzanne, but that’s not going to happen.
5. Aside from (possibly) staying up late, do you have any other New Year’s traditions? Not really. I try to have some champagne that night, but that’s about it.

1. What holiday or holidays do you celebrate this time of year? This year, just Christmas and New Years. In previous years, I also celebrated the end of the school semester.
2. What was the best gift you have ever received?
3. What was the worst gift you’ve ever given? My mom got me this ugly shirt.
4. Where will you be celebrating the holidays? Are you hosting? Going away? I am taking a 22 hour Greyhound bus to arrive in Tacoma on Christmas Eve to be with my parents for a week.
5. If you could spend the holidays with someone who isn’t around, who would it be with? Why? I kinda had a ulterior wish that somehow I would have to come back home and I would somehow spend Xmas with Suzanne, but that delusion was defy shatteredand the record was set straight for me. So now, I just want to flee into the arms and the safety of my family.
Happy Holidays!!!

1. Fuckin A, it’s Friday finally. Whatcha drinkin, cause we all know you are a slobbering lush. I wish I was drinkin… Being the poor mo-fo that I am, the strongest drink that I will get is Mountain Dew if I’m lucky. Probably just water all day.
2. Are ya getting any this weekend? Who’s the lucky bastard? Another strike-o there. Unless the ex-girlfriend shows up on my doorstep in her “Fuck Me” red pants and nothing else. But I think that she has a wedding that she is in, so no go there.
3. Tell Heather you fucking love her in a creative way. Watch your tongue and be nice, or I will hunt you down and cut it out of your filthy mouth. “It’s not yo booty, it’s your beauty that I’m lookin at.” O.K., O.K….. I was checkin out her booty too.
4. Think these questions are fluff? Go fuck yourself. For the rest of you, what’s the best fucking movie you’ve ever seen? [I mean, the best movie, not the best movie with fucking in it, unless you wanna share that too.] Best Fucking Movie: Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back; Best Movie That Fucked With My Mind: Magnolia. Best Movie With Fucking In It: Debbie Does Dallas.
5. So what the fuck are you doing this weekend? I am fucking going to see fucking Harry Potter and his Fucking Chamber of Fucking Secrets. Also going to do some fucking grocery shopping at Safeway;do some fucking laundry at the fucking laundromat; and maybe goto the fucking gym to fucking work out. Oh yeah, will also spend time being fucking depressed and missing my fuckingly fine ex girlfriend.

1. Did you vote in your last elections? I did not vote this year. I left my wallet in the company van and was too lazy to walk to the van to get it. It was cold!!!
2. Do you know who your elected representatives are? The President is George W. Bush, Governor is Gray Davis, Mayor is Willie Brown, Senators are Barbara Boxer and Diane Fienstien(sp?) I think that Nancy Polasi(sp?) represents me too. Not sure though.
3. Have you ever contacted an elected representative? If so, what was it about? Nope.
4. Have you ever participated in a demonstration? Well, one time I went to see Al Gore. While waiting to get into the auditorium that Gore was speaking at, I hung out with a friend who was with the Republicans protesting outside. Talk about a bunch of crazy folk. Un training facilities in Arkansas using real people for target practice. Yeah, they were a little loopy.
5. Have you ever volunteered in an election? What was the result? Never volunteered.

1. Were you raised in a particular religious faith? I grew up Baptist. That meant that every Sunday, you got really dressed up, you got you hair done, and went to church where the pastor stood on his pulpit and put on a show for you. Being Baptist meant that when the pastor spoke his sermon, it would get into you body and soul until you had no choice but to stand up, wave your arms in the air and yell, “Hallelujah, Praise The Lord. Amen.” It was also where you heard the soul of today’s black music in the gospel choirs, singing on the side in their robes, filled with the love of God. At one point, I was one of those voices, singing in the youth choir. My mother was also Baptist, however Korean Baptist are a little more subdued than their African-American counterparts. Still, they were livelier than say, their Presbyterian or Protestant brothers/sisters.
2. Do you still practice that faith? Why or why not? Unfortunately, I am a stray sheep from the flock. It’s a source of confusion and frustration for me. I can’t pinpoint the exact date of when I lost my faith; I just know that I have been looking for it or for something to replace it ever since. I declare myself has an Agnostic, which comes the closest to labeling what I believe in now. I still go to church with my family when I go visit them or when they come down here. And I have gone to church with friends and ex-girlfriends. In both cases, I am more a guest visiting the church than an active parishioner.
3. What do you think happens after death? I have been told by friends, families, and ex-girlfriends that I am going to go to Hell. Me personally, I haven’t given it much serious thought. I joke that I would like to get a nice office job in hell; maybe somewhere in the 200’s levels of hell. If I’m bad enough, maybe I can get a corner window cubicle where I could see the new arrivals getting tortured on their way to sentencing. I think it’s kinda funny, however I’ve been told it’s not and that I shouldn’t joke about something serious like that. So to go back to the original question, I don’t know
4. What is your favorite religious ritual (participating in or just observing)? I’ve never participated in it, but I think that Catholic Confession is the greatest thing. You live a good life, but along the way you commit some sins. We are not perfect you know. So you go into this little room and you spill your guts to a priest. He make you do some Hail Maries, and all of your sins are gone. The Catholics that I knew in High School hated going to confession, but I think that if I was a Catholic, I would love it.
5. Do you believe people are basically good? Hmmm. I wish I had my paper from the Lord of The Flies, cause I don’t know how I answered the question then. According to the rules of society, we are born bad. When we are young, we have to be taught the difference between what’s right and what is wrong. We are taught that drawing a picture is good but doing it all over the dining room walls is bad. So we are born bad, not good.
