Talking2mirrrors and nhuchi both suggested in my “Who I am” section that I write a bit more about myself. Writing about yourself is always a bit of a complicated business because it’s hard to know where to start and where to end. You also don’t want to be too vague and leave people bored and [...]

Why do we drink milk?
Posted in milk, thoughts, weird food on February 25, 2007 | 5 Comments »
Growing up in Vietnam, milk was not a normal part of our diet. I had goat milk once when I was visiting my relatives who were farmers, and the thought of drinking that warm, freshly squeezed milk completely weirded me out. So when I came to America and was told to drink milk every morning [...]
Two things you must do right now.
Posted in Blogging, Internet, starbucks, the best page in the universe, the dirty cha cha on February 24, 2007 | 5 Comments »
1. If you’re book-inclined, read “The Alphabet of Manliness” (the Bible for masculine men). If you’re web-inclined, check out, The Best Page in the Universe. The same writer of the book posts on this site. Trust me, you’d thank me for it.
2. Go to Starbucks and order the “Dirty Cha Cha.”
Ok have fun! Report back [...]

My first lesson in Love
Posted in Identity, love, parents, past on February 14, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I grew up fortunate enough to like my parents. Unfortunately, I never actually grew up with them. And so, like many parentless children, I spent much of my youthful imagination obsessing over who my parents were, how did I come to be, what would I be like if I had grown up with them. Mostly, [...]
Some specifics about me that my “About Me” didn’t quite cover…
Posted in Identity, Introduction, philosophy, thoughts on February 12, 2007 | 4 Comments »
Ok, so if you’ve read my “About Me” section, you’d probably find that it’s just a little vague. But don’t you find that the more closely you get to something or the more deeply you observe a detail, the more vague it gets? Mainly, I think it’s the problem of linguistics. The essence of [...]
