Preparing for Vietnam 2008-09-08 14:07:32 I bought my tickets.From Sept 21st to Nov 9th, almost 2 months. I will be in Saigon, the city that I fell in love with when I traveled with my family in 2006. I vowed to return, but didn't realize that I would be coming back so soon and on my own.Why?Because I'm not motivated or inspired here. The obvious next point in my life here in San Jose is to find a job, but as I haphazardly "search for Read more:Vietnam

I was satisfied.I checked my bag and they forgot my mashed potatoes. I was already on the road and very upset!!I texted GOOGL for the KFC phone number and told them I was upset. They told me to come back tomorrow.I went in today an Read more:Service

Community Service: Last Day 2008-08-30 12:47:53 Last day was fun.By this point I made some friends and conversations were less forced.I learned that grand theft auto boy actually just borrowed cars in the Cupertino area, because the affluent retards leave the keys in their car at night. He would take them for a joy ride and return them with the gas that he used and in "better condition."Then he got caught. What a hobby.==We had an interesting Read more:Community Service

Community Service Day 4:Flirting with Danger 2008-08-28 21:36:33 Back folding clothes in the basement of the Jail in inmate services. Endless I tell you.The first day I arrived at the main jail, I immediately noticed this really cute guy. It wasn't until today that I had the opportunity to flirt with him. I purposely folded shirts next to him while he sorted the bins in the basement of the jail."Are you part Korean?" I asked because he made a comment that made Read more:Community Service

Community Service Day Three: Kitchen 2008-08-27 23:00:05 The Kitchen
"I need 4 volunteers in the kitchen," announced the overweight cop who was married to a person that he met from "the orient." (He was in the army before being downgraded.)My arm shot up despite the fact that I was tired and cold from biking from my cousin's place in only a tshirt at 6:30am. And I was selected. Score. I was done with orange and tired of staring at the man's belly, curio Read more:Community Service

I would crash at my cousin's place and conveniently take the lightrail in the morning then back.I biked and got lost, but found my way.Ridiculously Unclear RulesMy cellphone was confiscated."Didn't you read the rules and regulations?""Yes, I don't recall seeing 'no cell phones.'"

Community Service Day Two: I Never Want to See Orange Again 2008-08-27 00:49:24 Orange 7am-3pm. Apparently the inmates at the San Jose Main Jail wear a lot of orange. My job the entire time was to roll up clean orange underwear, socks, and a t-shirt in an orange towel.I discovered that they have size 10XL. These shirts were just made wider not longer, it was sort of amusing. The "big boy" underwear was also amusingly huge. There were no mediums or smalls and the larges seemed Read more:Again

The Milpitas Jail!Shoot me.============At the pool I over heard these girls comment about this guy wearing a speedo."OH MY GOD! There are children here."They weren't humored, they were disgusted and offended.The guy next to them tried to defend the poor man, "It's a cultural thing..." but he ended up being judgmental too i Read more:World
What's MY Secret?!?! 2008-08-24 22:44:07 I showed a picture of my Ex to Michelle and she said, "WOW Chris, HOW do you manage to date such cute boys?!?! What's your secret!?!"

Defeated 2008-08-20 19:12:50 I'm really trying to make the best of this.I got a bike, I bought a bike lock... I'm trying really hard.All junior colleges are 1.5 hours away from me via public transportation.Yesterday, I felt like a superstar- biking 3 miles to the gym, swimming laps, lifting weights.Diana's in town and we biked around the city visiting friends at night. I finally got Whey protein powder for my all healthy sm
I've Been Feeling Blah 2008-08-18 15:18:29 Ever since my night out on the Castro I've been feeling blah.You know the feeling you get when you eat too much oily foods? Yeah, it's not that I feel self conscious about my body (I do), moreover, I feel unhealthy.I've also been feeling really ugly since my skin has been getting worse and my quest to find my soul is hitting a dead end.This Saturday, I went to this house warming party.

Door to Door 2008-08-13 19:24:53 This cute lady who looked to be in her mid 20s was selling strawberries door to door."They are fresh, just picked today!" Her voice we young and high. She wore a large hat to protect her from the sun. She was polite, persuasive, not pushy."How much are they?""20 Dollars for the box, 10 for half." I couldn't help but fall in love with her gracious charm and her slight Spanish accent."I'll take
Empowered and Embarassed by Asians 2008-08-13 13:02:37 18 Year Old Park Tae-hwan Win's Korea's FIRST Gold in Swimming (400M Freestyle) was rooting really hard for this kid. Especially when he got DQed in Athens for an embarrassing false start that sent him "hiding in the bathroom for hours." He had one goal in mind: Win Gold in 2008.Look at this image. Pure victory.

CA CA CA CASTRO! 2008-08-11 03:14:48 Castro... where everything is GAY!I was singing this "song" while waiting for the bus. Friday I went to the Castro to see my Ex, Ryan. I got really wasted and I talked to whole bunch of strangers. Have you ever been so drunk that you only remember bits and pieces of the night? Geez. Of course that comes with consquences: losing shit, making a fool of yourself and feeling nauseous the next day. G
JAPANESE FOOD, NONSTOP MADDNESS! 2008-08-10 15:05:20 Thursday: Sushi Factory "All You Can Eat" Sushi LunchI was getting all sorts of testy because people at the bar got their rolls before we did sitting at the table. We ordered 8 Rolls. And got our money's worth.The strategy: Don't accept the complimentary salad and miso soup. That's just a ploy to fill you up! And... this is dubious: the red paint from these bowls has been chipped away.I hope
Find Yourself 2008-08-10 14:41:11 This is cool and takes 2 seconds: Wally!================================Chris,You are a very sensitive person and you try hard (perhaps a little too hard) to make favourable impressions and to be recognised by your peers. But you have that inherent need to feel appreciated and admired and you are easily hurt if all of your endeavours go by unappreciated or not acknowledged. Stop trying so hard. Yo Read more:Yourself
