I have 1 thing to say:
IM AWESOME!!!
Dear Mr. Creepy Bum Man,
You: Creepy bum with a cardboard sign.
Me: Driving home from work, waiting at a red light.
It would have been enough for you to walk by me with your cardboard sign begging for money. Which, by the way, is highly misguided. NO ONE is going to give you money when you have a sign that says “VIET NAM VET” in Little Saigon. TRUST me on this one. I’m Vietnamese.
No, you didn’t stop there… You decided to not only walk to my car and stare into it while I was looking away… But decided to get off the sidewalk and hold your sign up to my window while saying something unintelligible at me through the window.
Maybe I looked like I couldn’t see the sign when you held it 5 feet further away. ON THE CURB.
Well, I just got home Mr. Creepy Bum Man, and I realized. Maybe I was wrong about you and should give you a second chance. I’m sure you have some great stories about ‘Nam, and are actually very well groomed under that smelly grimy-looking exterior.
So, next time you decide to walk up to my car, why don’t you just hop in and go for a ride with me! I welcome you Mr. Creepy Bum Man… We can have dinner and a movie even.
It’ll be fun.
BTW, remind me to lock my car doors from now on.
I’m nicer to people I don’t like
and meaner to the people I do like…
Have
you ever noticed that it’s a lot easier to say really mean/nasty things
[in jest] to the people you love? And yet, it’s really hard to be that
same funny bitch to people you don’t like?
I attribute this phenomenon [at least my case] to two main reasons:
Which, you know, kind of sucks for the people I DO love, because I can be a complete ass sometimes.
So, here’s a question:
Is it fake to be nice to people you’re not sure you really like because you don’t want to cause waves?
Not
being nice to try to get ahead or gain anything — or even so that you
can make fun of them behind their backs, but just playing nice because
you don’t want to deal with the drama that would ensue if you decided
to speak your mind?
Or is it just as bad as the Plastics in Mean Girls?

I’m a dork.

I like to look at pussy

I have a weird little obsession
with watching videos about kittens on
youtube.
Kimwipes kick butt.
I particularly like
sleepy kitties.
Munny:
An act of self-expression.
Surprisingly, there were quite a few people interested in knowing more about my munny and how she came about… So here’s a short explanation:
A Munny is a blank Decorate/Do-It-Yourself vinyl doll produced by awesome toy company KidRobot. I purchased my Munny at Urban Outfitters, but you can order yours easily at the Munny website or from Ebay.
To view munnies better than mine such as the examples you see above you can go to VinylPulse.com [gallery], or the KidRobot Munny Forums.
First things first, I had to disassemble my munny.
Then I sanded each piece down with sandpaper to make for a better painting surface.
After that I primed it with Gesso, a primer for acrylic painting.
Then, I opened up the handy-dandy coloring book–
Lucky for me I got the one drawn by my favorite artist, Simon Legno!
There are 3 versions, and I was just happy I got the one I wanted.
I then proceeded to draw what I thought would look cute on my munny while the Gesso dried.
Then came the hard part: painting. Apparently I suck at it.
I also hate waiting for paint to dry.
This is the end of Day 1
My Munny out to dry with Brent‘s.
He can actually paint. It makes me mad.
Begin day 2.
What in the world am I going to do with this dismembered mess?
And I still hadn’t decided on a color.
I decided to go ahead and make my girl a watermelon head…
Since her hair color reminded me of a watermelon.
But… once the eyes were put onto the hat, it looked too much like…
Ugly.
So I had to wait for the damn white paint to dry and sand it down to smoothness as much as I could.
In the meantime, I sculpted and began to paint some friends for my gal.
Hear no evil. See no evil. Speak no evil
Kim style.
Penis shroom and vagina plant.
Religion.
Yes, even I think of things like that.
So, I’ve had a gripe about religion lately:
I
REALLY like the idea of belonging to a church or a temple or some place
of worship because I think it’d be really nice to have a place to go
weekly that not only does stuff for the community [a requirement of
mine if I did join], but also gives one a gentle reminder of the morals
and values we tend to forget in our day to day — add in the feeling of
belonging to a close-knit group… and it seems like a really ideal
situation.
With maybe the exception of the consistent ‘reminder
of morals and values’, my group in college [Circle K] really fulfilled
that for me. However, now that I’ve grown out of the group and the
people that I joined with are now gone off to their own post-college
things, I find myself searching for something to fill that space… and
with something that will last more than four years.
Sure I
could join the Kiwanis, Red Cross or some other non-profit
organization, but lately I think I’ve been feeling the need for some
spiritual fulfillment as well.
The only problem is: I can’t bring myself believe in God
Not
God, not a god, not any god. I’m not denying that the existence of God
or any of the gods in this world are possible. It might be. I just
can’t bring myself to believe in any religion in a way that one would
call it my ‘Faith’.
So I guess it’s better to say that instead of not believing in God, that I have no Faith.
Born
and raised Buddhist, I like to think that I try my best to follow the
rules of my raised religion. However, ever since I was a child, I
always had problems with the ‘praying’ part. Who am I praying to?
Taught
that Buddha was a normal man that reached Nirvana [the mental/spiritual
place where there is nothing and everything and there are no wants and
no needs], I always had trouble grasping the reason for which we prayed
to him every week.
Afterall, if he’s in Nirvana, why would he hear us and heed us at all? Same with all of the other Buddhist dieties
In the end, I believe in Buddha’s teachings… But not Buddhist religion as it’s developed into right now.
As
for an all-knowing, all-seeing God, I have a lot of issues with the
idea that an all-seeing all-knowing sentient being that I can’t see can
have an effect on my life.
It’s wholly possible that one exists, but I just can’t really envision it.
Where in the world can one go to find a nice group of people that are willing to:
Any suggestions?
