kill the cac-a-roach...

OK...so i finished the book Twilight...you can call me names or poke your lil fun at me all you want...but guys, if you're reading this...chicks dig guys who read twilight...i read it b/c all my lady friends were telling me how amazing it was...i assumed it was a chick flick with words, and i shied awake from those demands...but i was bored one night so i asked to borrow a copy and i started on my journey through Forks, Washington. The book is an easy quick read...it's easy to get into and it's written well...very descriptive and deep...it's also very sexy...haha...all in all i was into it...call me what you will...i enjoyed 'twilight'...and now, i have an army of girls that will beat your ass down for hatin on me...up next is 'New Moon'

what the hell is going on in India? that's some brutal ish...my prayers go out to everyone over there...but please...the media has to stop...stop calling events like that tragedies...they're not...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tragedy:

noun- a sudden violent event that brings about great loss or destruction

or...

1. a medieval narrative poem or tale typically describing the downfall of a great man
2. a serious drama typically describing a conflict between the protagonist and a superior force (as destiny) and having a sorrowful or disastrous conclusion that elicits pity or terror
3. the literary genre of tragic dramas
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

neither of which are technically considered tragedies...a sudden event would be a natural disaster such as an earthquake, or tornado, or a bear attack...those are tragic events...they're sudden and not planned...there is no agenda, no contemplating methods of destruction...the attacks in Mumbai, India are just that...attacks..they were planned out...if a bear attacked the Taj Mahal Hotel and took hostages and started asking for all American and British nationals...or an earthquake hit the Mumbai Jewish center and somehow held bags of grenades and AK's(which isn't possible b/c earthquakes don't have hands to hold bags)...then i would agree...but i feel that calling it a tragedy is somewhat 'dumbing' down the urgency of the situation...to me, a tragedy is done, the people involved deal with it and it's in the media for 5 mins on a quick story and then everyone forgets...those groups are still out there after this event...once the media stops covering it and the effect of the word 'tragedy' withers, we'll all forget about the people responsible...they'll lay dormant until we forget and then they'll bomb and murder another city, looking for Americans...do you feel safe with them still hiding somewhere?...you can agree or not..but it's not really up for discussion...this is my blog...go start your own if you want to talk ha ha...but seriously...even in India we're being targeted by these terrorist groups...so tell me...who wants to travel the world with me...?


Jae's a hero!!!! I don't know if you all know this about Jae...but the other day Jae was coming home from dinner and we saw some flames billowing out from his neighbor's garage...he ran to his house and yelled for someone to call 911...and then his dad and he ran into the burning building...his dad with a fire extinguisher in hand fighting the fire...Jae had another weapon of fire destruction...he started throwing, what some would say to be, the fastest right left punching combo with the occasional left footed roundhouse kick...ever...if there was a measure to how awesome it was he would have been in the record books...Jae's punches didn't actually put out any fire as he though they would...but the real firemen got there and put em out, saving the rest of the house from burning down...and although it wasn't Jae's punches that got him the victory this time...it was his quick thinking to get some to call 911...he did put on quite the show for the other neighbors with his lightening fast hands and thunderous kicks...Jae, we thank you for keeping out streets clean...you deserve a medal brother...he was in the paper...headlines read "Local Drummer Boy, Fast Hands, Quick Thinking Saves a Westchester Home from Fire"...

Yay for the Twilight love, but Breaking Dawn may make you throw up. Just giving you a warning.

I think the media has mangled all sorts of words. Tragedy now means "really really sad event."

Tell Jae to be careful. If his moves are indeed lightning fast, he may catch on fire too.
