A Couple Jerks Writing Obscure Articles On The Internet
“Playing on this team and seeing what is happening around me, I feel that something is beginning to fall apart. But, if I was not in this situation, and I was objectively watching what just happened this week, I would probably be drinking a lot of beers and booing.”
You’re new here, aren’t you? Ain’t seen a new face around here for years.
Sit down, let me buy you a drink. Thirsty? No? Well, it’s refreshing to see a dry sailor now and then. If there’s one thing consistent about the docklands, it’s the healthy amount of drunks.
So what brings you around these parts, son?
Ah, a government worker. No doubt here to fulfill your patriotic duty of staring at cargo crates for hours. Can’t say much excitement goes on around here, at least not anymore.
C’mon, let me get you that drink, it’s the least I can do.
Hello world!!!
Oh my gosh, it’s soooo exciting to be alive and enjoying a evening. Too bad I’m not on the 99th floor of a tall building with the lovely night breeze whipping my hair back as I stare nonchalantly at the speeding cars down on the street below me. Of course, the picture wouldn’t be complete without jazz in the background! I suppose sitting in front of a laptop at my cooped up desk is alright surrounded by yellowed dorm walls is rather fine & dandy also.
I’ve always wanted a pet, and my top three were monkey, penguin and dog. I wonder if they’d be friends? The unfair thing is all throughout my childhood, I whined and tried every trick to get my parents to buy me a pet and they never agreed. But then yesterday on a whim, my mom got my brother a fish tank, and they’re off to find kindred fish spirits at the store soon! That’s okaaay though cause I love EATING fish not PETTING them.
Too bad, tooo bad. Too bad I’m not actually a pessimist.
Oh, are you a pen & pencil type of person or an eraser & whiteout type of person? I think those happy little scented erasers smell so nice and and and I love how they come in all different shapes and sizes and oh jeeepers, I really must check up on my eraser collection. Hopefully it hasn’t melted into a puddle of rubber. Ewww, that’s what the wicked witch must have been like after Hansel and Gretel got her stuck in her oven. But pencils can quite awesome too what with the colored lead and pretty designs. Mmmmh, you be the judge.
Dum, dee dum. I’ll be back!
Before I get to the meat and potatoes, I just want to point out that the title of this post could have been misconstrued to hilarious effect if I had missed the hyphen.
Alright, so I don’t know how many of you folks follow the “Whales and Dolphins” section in your news outlet of choice. For amateur whale biologists and whale enthusiasts, keeping up-to-date on current happenings in the marine mammal community is a matter of some import! Earlier today, whilst perusing the latest headlines (ignoring the tragic yet somewhat irrelevant whale shooting of the coast of Washington), I noticed an interesting headline concerning the evolution of sonar in whales.

On my way into the office today, I was listening to some NPR, and there was a story on how Asian Americans are starting to send their children to swimming instruction in droves. There are a bunch of swimming teachers in the US now who were once Olympic swimmers in China. The reporters played it up like swimming is some new Asian past-time, but I remember, growing up here in a Plano, how my parents (and those of other fellow Asians) would line up at 5-in-the-morning at the rec. centers across the city to sign us up for swimming lessons. I mean, every summer, I’d be in a swimming group that was at least 75% Asian! I think that when I was a kid, the Asian youth ‘blueprint’ called for piano lessons, swimming instruction, and art classes. Every Asian kid I knew went to each of those things at least once.
