road to perdition…
Wednesday, January 22nd, 2003
Just finished reading the graphic novel, Road to Perdition, the one that inspired the movie starring Tom Hanks. It was a pretty good read, considering I’m not into old land gangster mob style stories. I’m probably going to rent the movie this weekend.

Tuesday, January 21st, 2003
I saw Jet Li’s The Legend of the Red Dragon / New Legend of Shaolin [Hong Xiguan zhi Shaolin wu zu ] the other day, and I must say it was one of the most humorous yet action packed movie I’ve ever seen. I don’t think I ever laughed so much during any action movie […]

Here’s another online petition, this time with a whole lot more signatures. I’m 1340!

Finally, something good from MTV…MTV correspondent battles stereotypes, bad music
Minorities in the entertainment industry today face a variety of challenges, Pak said, emphasizing the type-cast, stereotypical roles traditionally given to Asian Americans.
“I look at my Asian-American friends who are actors,” Pak said, “and I still see them playing roles entitled Mean Karate Kid 12.”

If I worked at this library, I’d be sitting at my desk most of the day. Hmm, wonder if there’s any openings?

I rarely sign those online petitions, usually because I doubt they’ll accomplish much. But, none the less, I signed this one just a few minutes ago…
Shaq should apologize for racist comments
I’m number 260! Well, it’s up to 261 right now…
And, while you’re in a signing mood, why don’t you sign up for the Shaquille O’Neal […]
shaq’s a jerk…
Saturday, January 11th, 2003
It isn’t the first time O’Neal a self-professed comedian, or “idiot prankster’ as he said Friday has offended people with his attempts at humor. Last year, he jokingly claimed to have slept with a number of female celebrities, causing two of them to issue statements denying it.http://www.sgvtribune.com/Stories/0,1413,205%257E12224%257E1102735,00.html
“I categorically and unequivocally deny that I have ever […]

More from that whole Shaq/Yao incident…
There?s no way around this. If you mock someone for their race, skin color, ethnicity or heritage it?s wrong. If you have to, just switch Yao and Shaq in this instance and see what the reaction would be. You can?t qualify or make allowances based upon the race of who […]
