Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween!!!

Hope you all had a wonderful day

Nujabes

today i would like to introduce you Nujabes
one of my favorite hip hop artist

when people think of the word hip hop
most people think about 50 Cent, 2Pac, gangs, gangsters rapping about sex, money, drugs, guns, and killing
hip hop is bad
but there are good hip hop too

in korea (i can speak Korean) the radio stations doesnt like to play songs about controversial or sensitive issues
when songs are not played on air
its does not receive enough publicity to sell albums
so artists, especially hip hop artists, dont focus on gang life and such

i am sure its same or similar for other asian countries but i am not sure

well back to Nujabes
he is a japanese american DJ/MC
he is well known for composing a lot of music on the original sound track of a popular 2004 anime "Samurai Champloo"
his songs are more poetic than other rap songs
he has a lot of instrumental music with his own style
he mixes different genre of music like jazz and soul with some kind of beat at the background
his music is very soothing
easy listening
but its labeled as hip hop

so if you are looking for new genre of music
check out Nujabes
i have been getting positive review about Aurarian Dance from people i recommended Nujabes to
so anyways check him out

oohh yeah

i posted on tuesday about how i forgot what i was going to post
and how i was trying to remember what and i said i will post it if i remember and manage to stay awake

well i did manage to stay awake till 1 AM

unfortunately i didnt remember what i was going to post

and i still dont remember

o well

i will remember later

anyways

good news is that gas prices are falling like our economy
but there are more cars on the road
which means more traffic jams

True Skillz

i am in to hip hop
but what amaze me is not the tracks in the album
but the freestyle rappers

things on the albums are all written in a long period of time
but freestyle rappers
create their own lyrics in seconds
thats amazing
because it takes me long time just to make two or three lines rhyme

but those guys rhyme 10 or more lines and they dont stop
so awesome

i wish i had skills like that

hmmm

i remember i had something good to write about but i forgot
i dont know why but today was really long and exhausting day for me

i drank a can of Monster before lunch but i felt tired throughout the day
it seems that no energy drink or coffee works for me

i remember i drank about 5 cups of coffee once but i was tired as fuck
same with 2 cans of Monster
damn

if i manage to stay wake and find out what i wanted to write about i will post it later

my tire blew out

today i was on the 60 Pomona freeway
going about 60-70 mph
when i heard a loud pop
followed by banging noises coming from rear of my car

i pull over to the right shoulder to see what was going on
i found out
my rear driver side tire had blown out
my rim was exposed
and the rim did not have any support from the tire

i went back in the car and called AAA
they said they will arrive in 20 mins
after the call ended
a CHP officer pulled over behind me
and walked towards me
he asked "what happened?"
me "my rear tire blew out while i was driving"
officer "did you crash into the center divider? where did you damage your tire?"
me "no, i was in the middle of the freeway"
officer "is any assistance coming?"
me "yes, i called AAA"
officer "i see, i got a call saying that a vehicle crashed into the center divider and pulled over"
me"oh i see, well its not me"

officer walked back to his car
5 mins later a Metro Towing Truck came
and put the spare tire on

when i told my friends about my tire blowing out
they told me i could have died
i didnt know
i just laughed at the whole situation
only thing in my mind was that i had go buy new tire and maybe new rim and how much the repair cost will be
i didnt think it was life threatening

i thought it was only dangerous when front tire blow out
i gotta research this

scary story (real life experience)

alright ladies and gentlemen
Halloween is almost here and i would like to celebrate that by telling a scary story

alright here we go

when i was young, there was a house on a hill rumored to be haunted
so as teenagers looking for some fun and adventure
me and 7 other friends decided to go into the house
piss in the pool in the backyard
and come back out

we divided into 2 groups of 4 cause all 8 of us would make the place bit too crowded
making it hard to make a speedy exit
so me and 3 other guys volunteered to go first
when we tried to open the door
the door wont budge
we could turn the knob but the door just refused to open
so we called the other four guys (who were standing 10 feet away from the house) to help us open the door
there was 8 guys pushing the door but it didnt budge

before we decide to walk away
one of us lightly kicked the door and the door swung opened
then we all had one thought in our mind: What The Fuck is going on?
at first we were all shocked but we decided to go in
after all our manhood was on the line

the four of us walked through the house
with no problem
we were scared although each of us tried to hide it
the house was dark and full of dust and cobwebs
we had two flashlight
other than years old dust the house was in good condition
but it was empty
no furniture

but we made it to the back yard where the poor was located
the pool was empty but there was green moss forming at the bottom
we pulled down our zippers
but before we can relief ourselves
2 left and ran out of the house
so me and my friend swear each to go through this together
we were scared as fuck

after we finished pissing
we slowly waked into the house and towards the front door
half way there in a hallway
we heard something
and it freaked us out
so we screamed and ran towards the door
i thought i was gonna die if i didnt stop
as i was getting closer to the door
flashbacks of all the victims of haunted houses in hollywood horror movies
came to me

when i went out rest of the crew was outside
they were scared by our scream
when i walked up to them
they asked
"where is Tim (other friend)?"
i thought he was behind me but he never came out of the house

since each of us was too scared to go into the house
we decided to wait outside
5 mins passed
10 mins passed
30 mins passed
and no one came out

we were all worried
one of us was so worried that he started to cry
another was about to call the police
but decided not to because if the police showed up
then we would get arrested for transpassing

after an hour later
Tim came out
he was drooling
and his face was pale
his face was so pale that it looked like as if some one sprayed him with flour

he slowly waked up to me and asked
if i had a twin
of course i didnt and when i told him that he sat down
we calmed him down and once he was calm he told us what happened

here is what he told us: (for next segment I = tim, you = me)
when we (me and tim) ran I(tim) fell
i called your name and asked for help
you stopped and helped me on my feet
and we started to walk
you lead me
few minutes later
i noticed that you were not headed towards the door
i thought you forgot the way and tapped you on the back and i told you that you are going the wrong way
and i pointed towards the correct way
you turned around and told me that there is something you wanted to show me something you found

i felt uneasy
but still followed you
i somehow feel that if i didnt follow you, i will die
so i followed you
you lead me into a room
this room looked like the master bedroom
when you opened the door
dust blow and i closed my eyes
when i opened you were not there
i walked into the room calling your name
then suddenly the bathroom door flung opened
and a little boy in dirty clothes came out
he had blue paint on his left hand
green on the other
his clothes were stained with both colors
he looked like as if he was finger painting
he came up to me, grabbed my hand, and said
"you wont tell anyone right?"
then the boy walked to the window and jumped off
then something tapped me from the back
i turned around and it was you
i asked you where you were and you told me
you fell cause the dust
i asked you about the boy and you told me you didnt see anyone or anything
and you lead me into differnt parts of the house
each room showing a child committing suicide or being abused
later you lead me to the door
you told me to walk out and you thanked me for visiting and started to walk deeper into the darkness
i asked you where you were going
and you turned around became a child with white eyes
and told me you were gonna stay here with your family
i was so shocked that i blacked out
when i came to
i was drooling and walking out the door
and you guys coming running towards me

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

now i know that the guy who tim saids it me is not me
because i never heard tim falling down
or tim calling my name and calling for help
and i never stopped
in fact i ran as fast as i can out of the house

anyways

thats what tim told us
we know this was the truth
because his hands were covered in paint and dirt
we asked "if you knew the exit why didnt you run and exit the house?"
his answer was "because i somehow felt that if i didnt follow the thing i was following i was going to get killed"
and after he told us this story
he went through his packet and found a folded paper
when we unfolded the paper
the paper had finger paint of the house and what it looked like the 8 of us standing in front of the house
we were so scared that we ran home

ever since this incident
every Halloween we discuss and recall what happened for fun
and recently we decided to do some research to try to find out what happened in the house and to the previous occupants and owners of the house

new type of TV show

in asia many TV shows have celebrity guests and celebrity hosts
these shows are called celebrity variety shows
there are many types of variety shows
1) celebrities play games/challenges (ex: Hollywood Square)
2) celebrities come together to discuss current events and there opinion
3) the host celebrity plays prank on another celebrity (ex: punk'd)
4) reveal celebrity history or home (address not revealed)

there are more but these are the ones i can think of off top of my head

here is my reasons why these shows exist in asia but not in U.S
first is lack of fame and money
asian celebs are not internationally known, if they are then they are only well known in near by countries but not in U.S
celebs like Brad Pitt and such gets royalties from all over the world but asian celebs get royalties from countries like China, Korea, and Japan
so to make more money they do guest appearance in variety shows
its also beneficial to both audience and celebs
celebs get royalties and audience get to see other side of celebs
and get to hear their opinion about social and current issues

these shows do exist in U.S but the guests and challengers are everyday people
also in asia there is no shows like TMZ
there are similar shows but they dont downgrade celebs

here is a reason why i think asians dont downgrade their celebs like people here
in asia if you want the audience to respect you, you must finish college or at least have higher education except child actors
there are some asian child celebs who stopped show biz to go to school or military
there are also few celebs who graduated from University of Standford, University of Los Angeles, and other highly known universities
and of course there is culture differences asians are more uptight and more respectful of each other

so i would really like to see these celebrity variety shows in U.S as well
it would bring more respect to celebs and be entertaining to audience

child sponsor

you know those TV commercials about sponsoring a child in 3rd world countries?

all the organization say a dollar a day can provide things like clean water, education, food, housing, and etc

a dollar a day so its about $30-$40 a month
so my parents decided to sponsor a child
they did half a year and stopped

now before you curse at me and such hear me out

all the ads makes people believe that sending money order of $30-$40 will be the only thing sponsors had to do
but no
its not
the organization asked my parents to do so much stuff like write letters, send gifts, etc

my parents are middle class workers
they work day and night
so they could not find time to do all the things they were asked to do
also the money order was not just $30-$40
my parents ended up paying $500 for the 3rd month because the organization keep asking for more money for events and such
when the bad economy hit and gas rose to $4+ per gallon
by parents could not spend extra $500 per month
so they had to stop sponsoring a child
but before they called to stop sending money orders
they got a mail saying
the child moved to different place 2 month ago (2 month before the letter was sent)
so what did they do with extra payments, i dont know
but the point is that
sponsoring a child is not for middle class work force
they require so much things that people who work full time wont have time for
plus payments increase every month

so if you are going to sponsor a child
be sure that you can make payments up to $500 a month (thats half of monthly rent for a 2 room apartment)
and you have time to do all the things the organization asks you to do
so that you wont end up like my parents and feel bad for stop sponsoring

my love story

falling in love is a great feeling
knowing that someone will be by your side
and you being by the other person's side is a wonderful thing

i too had loved someone but my love was, is, and maybe will be only one sided

i saw her only once a week, on sundays at church
she was very kind and had a very outgoing personality
she was a type of a person that had infinite amount of energy
she was a dancer, member of her school dance team (never found out how good she was)
she was also a great singer
she was everything a guy can ask from a girl and she was single

unfortunately i thought she was too perfect and that she wouldnt date a guy like me
it was my lack of self esteem and confidence that lead to my own doom

i was in junior year in high school when i first noticed her and when i first noticed that i had fallen in love with her
she was there and might have been signaling that she liked me back but i was blind and stupid to see the signal

i didnt see the signals, she might have given 200% of her effort but it was useless against me, my thick skull blocked all the signals and efforts she was presenting to me
later i would commit a great sin that sin is
breaking her heart

i didnt see the sign so i didnt know she liked me, it might sound like an excuse but its true
i asked her about another girl
"hey i like this girl you know, do you know if she has a bf?"
she answered me "yes she does, sorry"
i made a bad move
i deserved to be bitch slapped till my face fell of my head
i deserved the most painful method of dying
i left a deep scar in her heart

after this i lost all communications with her
she didnt respond to my comments on myspace/facebook
and she stopped coming out to church for awhile

few months later i was thinking back in my life
and thought about her actions
i decided to ask people about my situation online at sites like yahoo answers
i told people about a girl i liked but thought she was too good for me
i also told them about her behavior after and before the incident
i asked for advices
i was desperate
i wanted to know the answer the to question
"did she have feelings for me?"

results came in really fast
total of 15 answers 4 were bullshit answers
11 out of 11 answers said she had feelings for me
5 of them told me to try confessing my love to her
2 told me to move on
4 did not give me any advice

i did not believe this
she like me, i liked her
yet i screwed up
and because of my stupidity someone else had to pay the price

"11 people cant be wrong right?"
i asked myself numerous times

not being able to face this truth
i became very depressed
i thought about suicide
i hated this cruel twist of faith
my heart ached every time i heard a love song
or watched a tv show with happy couple(s)
"is this love?"
"this is too painful"
"i give up, i will never love someone else ever again"
these are few thoughts that came up in my confused mind

holding my aching heart
every night i prayed that time would some how rewind to that day i broke her heart
so i can prevent myself from breaking her heart

its been a year since the day i broke her heart
she seems to have moved on
she is still single
i still havent found out if she had feelings for me or not
i think about her everyday
hating myself for not having the courage to tell her "i love you"
and for making the wrong choice

my perfect girl, if you read this
just know that i loved you, love you, and will love you
and i am sorry for all the things i did to hurt you
it wasnt intentional
please forgive me and my stupidity

i wish i can say
"if you loved me or still have feelings for me, forget them and make happy memories with a guy who can take good care of you"
but i am not yet ready

i am sorry

assault with deadly weapon

recently OJ Simpson was found guilty of assault with deadly weapon, kidnapping, and 10 or 12 other charges and is now facing up to life in prison

this news reminded me of another article that i read few months ago about a case on assault with deadly weapon
here is the summary (I couldnt find the article)

there is a motel in somewhere middle of the the United States
unfortunately employees there were using the motel as a base for dealing drugs
a big sting operation by the cops ended the drug dealing
a reporter who was covering the story wanted to interview the owner of the motel who is a chinese immigrant
apparently the owner did not want anything to do with this story and refused interviews by the reporter
but reporter was persistent and kept pressuring the owner to be interview
owner refused few more times this time getting little violent by pushing away the reporter and blocking the lens of the camera with his hands
but reporter did not stop
so the owner grabbed a gardening hose (without pressurized spray thing) and started to soak the reporter and the camera man
they retreated cussing and telling the owner that he gonna get sued

the owner was sued and charged for an assault with deadly weapon

LOL hilarious
scientists and scholars always stated that water is source of life
yet in this case water was deadly weapon

also does this mean that in that state I can sue the cops for spraying me with a water cannon during a protest or a riot?

here are two stupid laws that should not exist in California
1) law that says if there is an incident where a person was injured in someone's home then the home owner is responsible
so if a thief fell and broke his arm while attempting to rob me and possibly kill me then i am responsible for his injuries (great law, why are we paying these politicians for)

2) in a car accident the vehicle in the rear is responsible for the damage
this law is perfect for fraud
its like giving "get out of jail" card to all serial killers and terrorists

so i thank you law makers
for taking our money and making bogus laws to take more money away from hard working and tax paying citizens

azanknight signing off
have a good week guyz

uber epic failure

ladies and gentlemen i now like that say that
we are more doomed than ever
government failed to pass the bailout plan
now they must think of a new one

i think passing this plan was important for Bush
think about it
past presidents had something good on their presidency but Bush doesnt

people are going to remember Bush as a president who brought war, death, more death, economic failures, and didnt to anything about it

Bush probably decided to take a gamble and get something passed
if the bill was passed and economy was back to normal then people are going to remember him as President who fixed collapsing economy

well since it didnt and it seems that congress isnt going to pass something soon
Bush failed to leave a good record in his presidency and we can for now
stamp him as
UBER EPIC FAILURE
