Harold and Kumar (a.k.a. Jarrett and Chetan)

So before I even say anything about this hella baller movie, I'm just going to say that I didn't even like the first movie that much. The tangents were hella random, and the whole concept is that Harold had to stand up to white people to win the day. Whack. But this movie. Man. I knew I was going to have a good time while I was in line to buy the tickets. Me and Chetan (my Indian friend I knew from ex-roomie Christina) happened to run into his friends, and guess what, there it was another Indian and an Asian. It was like we should've just gotten back into the car with these guys and started our own adventure right then and there and pray to NPH for a cheetah to bring us back home. But nay, we shall see what Harold and Kumar would do first.

And that we did. I promise y'all this movie will have you cracking your sides. I honestly think I might have laughed more than I did for Knocked Up or Superbad (Separately, not combined, that would probably make you explode). Plus, the movie is deeper than it looks, methinks. Shit, I'll watch it again with you.

One day I'll lock myself in a room

And this is what I'll use to keep myself in. While I watch TV with this remote.

Glow in the Dark Tour

A space journey of epic proportions. I don't even now if there exists earthly vocabulary to describe the Kanye West experience. I think Kanye for sure read 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke because his sets broke sound/time/space boundaries as they traveled in and out of College Dropout, Late Registration, and Graduation. Such a wholesome concert, you'll feel renewed stepping back on Earth right after, guaranteed.

On My Way

I just came back from presenting a proposal to streamline small package orders at Lonely Planet, and I feel electrified. The CFO, the managers of the Oakland branch, and the warehouse managers were there to see my slick-ass powerpoint, and they all liked it! I worked my ass off last night as I was talking to my professor while I edited the slides one by one, and I really feel like I accomplished something huge this past week. I implemented the design, supply chain, operations, and global optimization concepts I've learned thus far in IEOR so I really felt that what I was communicating to them is really what I am.

I mean I was in a full on suit today, but I kept my earrings on. It felt that I didn't have to change myself at all for this presentation, unlike the compromises I've made this year in this so-called "recruiting" process. It felt amazing.

What we have ahead of us now is just taking measurements and implementing the system. I think the business-oriented direction IEOR is taking me given the design, operations, and optimization classes I've took is really becoming clear. I see myself presenting another proposal to venture capitalists to get funding for an extreme project. It's really exciting. And just yesterday I made a life goal to have a business started by 35. (Be it a bar in the Bay, or a huge e-commerce success, hehe)

The Office

I kinda like the concept of The Office. In conversation, The Office offers just crazy lines that can be applied to any situation. For example, "Diversity tomorrow, because today is almost over" can be used in almost everything I do in my life. "Laundry tomorrow, because today is almost over. Haircut tomorrow, because today is almost over. Go on a dragon quest tomorrow, because today is almost over." So many ways. I mean just see what you can come up with this quote.

Michael Scott: Toby is in HR, which technically means he works for corporate, so he's really not a part of our family. Also, he's divorced, so he's really not a part of his family.

Nice.

But my point is that in conversation, The Office provides a way we can all talk about it for its humor. It gets brought up, and you find out other people watch it too. Or you decide to watch it because it's brought up. What it comes down to is that people can use the excuse of watching it for humor to gain access to the cool stories that these characters have. I mean I can't resist not paying attention to Jim and Pam's thing, Micheal's impression that good business requires just good charisma, and Office Olympics. And these two.

Anyways, I really like how my future questions are really explored in The Office. HAHA

Dwight Schrute: A thirty year mortgage at Michael's age essentially means that he's buying a coffin. If I were buying my coffin, I would get one with thicker walls... so you couldn't hear the other dead people.

Be Easy

Jay Electronica's making my ears bleed hip-hop. "It's bigger than religion. Hip Hop." - Ms. Badu

Be Easy

Pawn the E6 move swift but cunning

Keep my knights on flank and my bishops gunning

my B.L. Queens she hold me down lovely

the gravitational pull's too strong for you to budge me

It's a...Lyrical miracle pound for pound syllable for syllable I'm the unfuck-widdable

80% of my life I was subject to ridicule

But it was the fuel to help me to reach the pinnacle

This flow like snowman I'm abominable

This war has scarred me but the damage was minimal

Paid dues slaid crews did my share of dirt but never made news the God stay smooth

Made moves like Kasparov My sins like snakeskins

Homie I cast them off

Me the elite crew Crusher

The God-Fearin' zone rusher

Perform under pressure

Nobody's Fresher

The Soul-stepper

Swear, spit that while listening to Jay Electronica's "Be Easy" 2nd verse, you'll feel what Langston Hughes must've felt in the 1920s. Straight truth.

The Freshest

Fresh new music, y'all. So fresh, you wanna save it for later.
