Internet Squabbles

My advice to keep things drama free on the internet..


Keep it cool, calm, and collected. Don't jump to conclusions on what a person is asking or saying about or be quick to judge a person's integrity and intellect.  This is the internet, you cant assume a person's tone unless of course they are cursing up a storm or decides to write in all caps and use a bunch of exclamation marks.

So quit flaming people for those that flame, that is all. :)

Love at First Sight

Love at first sight would be more than likely equated to pure lust, you're physically attracted to that person... but that alone can't make a loving relationship, looks will only make u feel so much for a person.

Their personality is what drives your love for the person, think of what they look like as a brand new shiny car... it being driven is like love, the driver would be their personality... a bad driver or poor personality will crash in a sense. lol

Habitual Criminals

Tired of seeing cronic criminals continue to commit crimes... ok, they messed up once, make them do the time to think about what they did wrong, if they come out and become outstanding citizens, are able to positively contribute to society... then awesome more power to them.

But I have some major problems of repeated offenders that are able to walk freely to only do wrong again... I say lock them up for good, if not forever, but til they're too old to be able to terrorize innocent people who live a normal law abiding life. SMH come on judicial system get it together. -_-

Social Networking

With the rise of Facebook and other social network sites, it has made it easier for many people to be able to network and make connections with new people they would otherwise would never knew existed or be able to come in contact with.  This new medium can be used for many things like spreading news, marketing campaigns, networking, and friendships/relationships.

I've personally been able to establish friendships with people of similar interests from all over the world, which wouldn't be possible otherwise without these social networking sites.  They have become so big that it's now part of our everyday lives.  Facebook to be more specific is everywhere.  Everyone who doesn't have one may be looked as if they're an alien from another planet.

The internet and technology is the future, and the future is now.

Foreign Flavors

A co-worker had brought in a box of desserts from his recent vacation to India.  I've noticed that most people looked at the box and said no thanks.   I mean not even a nibble to try before totally rejecting it?  Being that I to try new things I tried a piece.  Although the flavors were different and something I'm not use to, it was by no means bad or would make anyone want to spit it back out in disgust.  I think there are cultural reasons why a person chooses to step out of the box of what their taste buds may be use to.  Me being a first generation Asian-American, I grew up having raised to always try this or that and if you didn't you would be looked at poorly.

To me most Americans only want to eat what they know and what they are use to.  I say "man-up" its not going to kill you to taste something new.  Maybe you will even enjoy it and open up you tastes senses to a whole new flavor.

But I guess for now just means more for me to enjoy. :-)

Asian Males in Mainstream America

It's almost non-existent.  My title is an oxymoron, Asian men are not mainstream in America at all.  Well, not portrayed as normal citizens to say the least.  In movies especially, there are no lead Asian male roles unless he knows how to fight or is a ninja.  We're here in America too and do normal everyday things all other American males do.  It's like we're forever boxed into of this category of unwanteds.  This definitely makes it harder in the dating scenes as well, since there is a lack of positive media for Asian males to make us as manly as all other men.  Asian men can be just as manly as any other type of man....

I don't know if it's ever possible for a complete change, I do notice small advances, so I am hopeful.

Pursuit of Happiness

You're as happy as you want to be.. if things aren't going right for you, I think you would have the right to feel down in the dumps, but the best thing to do is to think on the positives and tell yourself, "tomorrow is another day, a brand new day to try to achieve what I need to achieve that I didn't manage to accomplish yesterday."

Set some small goals and build up to where you want to be, live in the current... 10yrs from now will get here soon enough, you'll cross that bridge when you get there.  For the sake of one's own sanity, just think about the next 10 days instead, things seem a little less daunting when you take some "baby" steps.

Happy pursuit readers.
