So, lately I don't watch that much television, with the exception of two shows. The Office and How I Met Your Mother (thanks ben), been meaning to get caught up with It's Always Sunny but haven't been able to find the time.
Anyhow, it made me realize how lame Asian last names are. I'm watching these shows and it sounds great to be referred to by your surname. Halpert, Beasley, Mosbey, etc etc. The only time I got referred to by my last name was in high school football, by my coaches and it was hardly cool. Mam, has to be the one of the worst last names to have. However, I've got nothing on this poor bastard.

So, this past weekend I went to my mom's company party. It was probably one of the most horrible parties I've attended in my life. It was very awkward also, my mom's coworker/friend was shaking my hand as we were introduced and with her other hand she sized up my bicep by squeezing it like she was checking a piece of fruit for ripeness. That sounds like it might be cool, but she had to be in her late 50s or early 60s. Additionally, my mom tried to introduce me to this girl. I'll never let her do that again.
It seems like everyone and their mom's, or my mom rather, wants to set me up these days. Even the lady who cuts my hair is trying to get in on the action. I must come off as being a pathetic, lonely, young man. Don't comment on that...

Work has been ridiculously busy, I had my first 14 hour day here and I thought I was having an acid trip. Words were dancing on my screen, the fox from the mozilla browser logo was telling me to do horrible things and my sanity was severely compromised. But now that all the rollouts are complete, I'm looking at a relatively less busy schedule... I think... oh God, I hope....
My cube neighbor has a hernia of some sort, and I wish to God that I could be at least a little sympathetic. BUT, whatever sort of hernia this is, it's been causing her to burp loudly and almost uncontrollably. It's pretty disgusting because sometimes I can smell whatever she recently ate and funny sometimes when she burps mid sentence/word.
"Well according to this re-BELCHHHHHHHHH-port it seems like the break even BURP point is at 12 months."

i just went to my company christmas party and i had a blast!! it was at the house of the founder of cinemark. very nice. the band was so entertaining. i got to dance with my CEO to 70's/80's music. AND, last but certainly not least - i won, not only the employee prize (which was a $50 gift card to the restaurant Macguires/Mcguires), but i won one of the grand prizes!! two free plane tickets to ANYWHERE American Airlines flies plus $1000 spending cash. is that not insane? i never win prizes, but sheesh. was i happy.
so, not to rub it in or anything, but... i had fun. surprisingly. maybe i should have asked you to be my date!! i did not know who to ask for a while. anyway. hope you're doing well. sorry that i'm so unreliable as a friend, but i still think about you and wonder how you are. really, i do.
okay.. this comment is so long it might as well have been a blog entry.
that said, i close with a glad Gnite! gnite!
Mike and I wanted to make a blog that was focused on solely bashing your posts. Hahaha.
This is a good one. Speaking of... I've had this girl in mind for you. She's not quite 50.
Although Asian names may not be hilarious, they can be good for one-lines or short guffaws, especially Viet names: Dang, Dung, Phuoc. And can't forget the "Nguyen-Nguyen situation."
