• Friends are great, don’t you agree?  They can really make your day brighter just by being around them

  Not a whole lot going on lately, except for my internship (which is going very well, especially the pay heh).  Hopefully with the money I make I can save around 4 grand for tuition and vacation money (for China).  What to do w/ what’s left (which should be a good amount)? Hmm…well I guess I’ll make a wish list for myself:
  
  Wish List:
  -Wii (for my brother really; he’s been aching to try it out for the longest time so I think I can help him out…besides, I can play with it as well haha)
  -2 new tennis rackets (probably the new K Factor rackets)
  -new stringing (for my old rackets)
  -box of balls (just for me to use )
  -new cellphone (my phone has been alright for the past 2 years…but it’s time for an upgrade)
  -Flat screen tv (for my single next year, so I would have more space.  Hmm, anyone wanna buy my old 20 inch TV?  )
  -Tickets to Legg Mason and US Open (because I looooove tennis)

  Check out this new act going around (from angryasianman):

  n*gger wetb*ck ch*nk
  

  
  Three words: N*GGER WETB*CK CH*NK. Before you get all bent out of shape, be aware that N*GGER WETB*CK CH*NK
  is a provocative, critically-acclaimed, smash-hit three-man stage show
  blending theater stand-up comedy, slam poetry, and true-life stories to
  take on racial slurs, stereotypes and the concept of race itself in a
  90-minute stage production. Here’s a recent article on the show: Show’s unspeakable name opens dialogue on race. And another one here: Trio gives personal, funny look at racism. According to cast/co-writers Miles Gregley, Rafael Agustin, Allan Axibal:
  

  “The
  show traces the origins and evolution of three derogatory terms that
  shaped our lives and took the place of a genuine understanding of our
  distinct cultures. In doing this show we hope to depower these words
  for ourselves and for our audiences.”

  I’ve
  heard a lot about this show, and have been wanting to check it out for
  a while. It’s been touring at colleges and venues all around the
  country for the last couple of years, and is landing back in Los
  Angeles—where it all started—this week, starting tonight. Seven
  performances a week, running June 7th through July 29th at at the Ivar
  Theatre in Hollywood. For more information about N*GGER WETB*CK CH*NK, go here. Also check out some cool video clips here and here. For ticket info, go here.

  
  
  Man, sucks that t’s not being shown in this area….you know I would have wanna checked that out
