Wednesday, January 31, 2007. AO Scott's reviews are incredible. But, he might be dealing harsh cards to someone who doesn't deserve it. Sarah Silverman seems harmless enough, and from what I can tell, means well. I haven't seen "Jesus is Magic" but I like the title, and the trailer's are a good indication. You need a sense of humor.". Some laugh at everything. To think life is at all serious is to ask for a lot of heart ache and dissapointment, because, life is nonsense! Is this laughter madness? Yes we ...

The Idiosyncratic Pragmatic
http://thegreatopenbook.blogspot.com/2007/10/i-feel-like-i-need-to-travel-world.html
Sunday, October 7, 2007. I feel like I need to travel the world. See the world's poor and feel compassion again. These days, I can't keep other people in my mind for more than a couple of hours. I do the motions, joining groups, being interested in books, but none of this sets me on fire. I feel like I need to recentre myself, such as structure the way I am, my identity - to see what I'd like to achieve for the future. I watched "Shake Hands with the Devil". And that the people to respond will not respond.

Thursday, May 31, 2007. A: This is unacceptable! A: I won't take it any longer! I demand a refund! Is this where they keep the telephones? But they won't give a damn, if you ain't got a dime! B: I've brought some change. A: Have you got a dollar? A: Then they won't let you talk. B: I just need to call my son and tell him. A: Tell him, Robert Kang needs another chance. A: Tell him, Robert Kang is sorry. A: But I'm still mad! Beat) You see, there, see that phone? B: I'm sorry, that must be hard. B: Hey....

Monday, July 24, 2006. You were meant for more. Photo, Ian Park. Thursday, July 20, 2006. Everything in its place. The books for that story are over there, on that shelf. To find my masks, look inside the sliding doors, on the right wall. This is my center. This is my space. This is where I have placed what I own as an extension of my history, my future, and my present. Tuesday, July 18, 2006. There is a very special spot in my heart for Alanis Morissette's album Jagged Little Pill. That's my improv,.

Saturday, June 30, 2007. Evening Thoughts: What time is it there? If there were a single theme I could muster from the past few years of my life, it would be " displacement. All this movement is really interesting in that it's like a sifter. You shake it from side to side, and the more vigor you exert the more you:. Vsift·ed, sift·ing, sifts. 1 To put (flour, for example) through a sieve or other straining device in order to separate the fine from the coarse particles. Tuesday, June 26, 2007. Give me mor...

The Idiosyncratic Pragmatic: Deliberately insensitive
http://thegreatopenbook.blogspot.com/2007/08/deliberately-insensitive.html
Saturday, August 4, 2007. There seems to be growing numbers of those who pride themselves to be unfeeling and callous. I am currently recoiling from my unnerving experience yesterday. I was prepared to work with boring people, the politically incorrect, etc. But nothing could have prepared me for my partner. I tried to ask him what major he was in. And then he hostilely responded "why do I always have to answer these awkward questions during walksafe shifts? I don't even know you". And he said "ya, someo...

The Idiosyncratic Pragmatic: Fathers
http://thegreatopenbook.blogspot.com/2007/08/fathers.html
Saturday, August 25, 2007. But in the end, our relationship with our parents have a HUGE influence into how we see the world. Is our world a positive and encouraging place? Can I get help from the world when I need it? Do people really care about me no matter what I do? Can I really trust people? How I want him to openly express all this without. fear and insecurity. How I wish he'd be more forceful more like those fathers in the movies, or at least the father of my friends. And he watched his father rui...

Saturday, June 30, 2007. Don't cry for me South Korea. I've become quite cynical of the Korean-Canadian community at the moment. When I think of them, I can't help but associate them with having worst of both worlds. If Koreans are known to be one-track minded yet ambitious, while Canada is more open-minded yet middling - Korean Canadians seem to have be doomed with mediocrity because of its myopia. Little do they know about the history of Korea or Canada. There can be a good side, I guess you can say th...

Monday, April 30, 2007. Ten Minute Break: coffee break. I woke up this morning feeling worse than I have in a long time. I sort of over did it on the weekend, and despite a pleasant evening last night (a long walk and a good book before sleeping), the first thing I felt this morning was defeat. It makes me think: restraint is necessary. Overindulgence leads to wasted energy. Save your strength. To save is to save for. Friday, April 27, 2007. It's 12:30 AM and I just got home from work, so this post might...
