Thanks for the recommendation and I’ll continue to use this again and again.. Although one thing, other than the internet, Rewind is hard to find, any chance your going to go to the local stores?

Besides I’m an asian and not a nerd, however I never thought of owning a CG because I find it ugly, I don’t hate CG owners I just don’t think CG is my style. I never blindly follow any trends, whatever I’ve gotten/followed is solely because I like them

But seriously, I usually rant on about the types of Asians that exist in Toronto, because I see tons of them everyday on campus. This article basically sums up every single Asian male/female prototype that I have seen thus far. A very fun read. Thank you.

Layering up is the best way to keep warm.

Sorry to break it to you, there’s more to life than looks.

Norbis is better then Canada Goose

This article does have some direct observations though, like how asians who have settled down (ie white washed) seem to look down upon FOBs. I am a white washed asian (according to this article), I admit sometimes I look upon FOBs with dislike. Then I realize, these are people who know more about their culture than I do. They are proud, they maybe gangsta or whatever, but they are just trying to display a culture in a way that doesn’t make them look “weak” or “second class”. I realize how little I know about my culture, and at the end of the day, I’m not a white man. I suck being a fake white man, so I don’t even try. I’m not a asian either, even though my apperance is definitely an asian. I’m in nowhere and I belong nowhere.

To the soulless asians trying to be white, don’t. Just let things be, and it will work out. You just live and adapt. In the north american society, in the end, people will only look at what you accomplished, how much money you made, etc , etc. Race is arbitrary, it doesn’t matter.

Let me tell you a story. I once saw some kids playing at a playground. One of the kid was black and the rest was white. They get along mighty fine. They are having fun. And they started to talk about somethings, like kids do, they don’t mean no harm, They just made some comments about skin color, I don’t remember what it was exactly, but the black kid just said, “no, I’m not black, I’m totally white. No I’m white I swear”. And so they played on, the conversation they had seemed forgotten. the black kid playing and marching like he knew where he was going, but he was lost, trying to run away from his own shadow.

To the asians who refuse to urr… shall we say, to be assimilated to a certain degree, you have walked in the welcoming arm of new countries which grants you the right to work, the right to pursue your happiness, and the right to prove yourself. But you are in a country that is willing to share that all with you, you need to give something back. I frown upon dual citizenship holders who only hold canadian passports to gain benefits from it while never really contribute to Canada.

Having a cultural identity is fine, but don’t wall yourself in. It creates misconception. What ya gotta know, you are in North America. Don’t walk on the magical land with fright and mistrust, embrace it.

I love my PJS. =D
