oh and I saw Ghost Rider on the weekend. Do not watch. I repeat do not watch. I nearly feel asleep halfway through. Very predictable and reminded me of some small budget horror flick which elicit laughs instead of emotion. tsk tsk. Disappointed.

Before you came things were just what they were:
the road precisely a road, the horizon fixed,
the limit of what could be seen,
a glass of wine no more than a glass of wine.
With you the world took on the spectrum
radiating from my heart: your eyes gold
as they open to me, slate the colour
that falls each time I lose all hope.
With your advent roses burst into flame:
you were the artist of dried-up leaves, sorceress
who flicked her wrist to change dust into soot.
You lacquered the night black.
As for the sky, the road, the cup of wine:
one was my tear-drenched shirt,
the other an aching nerve,
the third a mirror that never reflected the same thing.
Now you are here again - stay with me.
This time things will fall into place;
the road can be the road,
the sky nothing but the sky;
the glass of wine, as it should be, the glass of wine.

The only difference between Indians and Far East Asians are the eyes. Okay and maybe hair too. But are eyes and hair growth enough reason to disclude a billion people from Asia? Are the roundness of Indians eyes and our ability to grow facial hair enough to build up walls between us? It’s what’s inside that counts. Being Asian isn’t about non-rounded eyes or unusual hair growth (men and women), it’s about the food you eat, the math you’re good at, having 300+ friends on Friendster, and acting like thugs in the suburbs. That’s being an Asian American.
