Behind every "no homo" is a little bit of homo.
I don’t mean this in a literal sense, but I see the term “no homo” as a ridiculously stupid phrase that constructs and perpetuates a homophobic environment. I think that sad part about the fact that this phrase is so common (with males in particular) now is that it shows that people are afraid of being gay. They’re afraid of coming off as gay, feminine, or not masculine...

DRD Ski Trip in Tahoe
Stuffed into the middle seat (bitch seat) for a 3 hour car ride with several bags sitting on top of me. Donny needs to learn how to fold his sleeping bag, I barely had any leg room.
Squeezing near 40 people into a cabin with a max occupancy of 11. The cabin/house itself was actually really nice and spacious though. Besides, I’m used to living in cramped conditions.
Two shower heads in the same...

Scale of Love
What defines a crush? Is a crush “low” on the “scale of love”? Is it below or at the same level as “liking”? Let’s say it’s lower. Let’s say the Scale of Love goes like this: “hey, that person is of the gender I’m attracted to” “Boooooooooooooooooobs” (or another variation, if attracted to males.) “Physical...

I was concerned at first, but then I realized that...
So the other night, one of my roommates (I’m in a triple) Alan just kinda packed most of his stuff up and left. HE refused to tell Michael (my other roommate) and I where he was going, or what the fuck was happening. He took a lot of his clothes and his bedsheets, so it looks like he won’t be staying here in the dorms for the rest of the week. My guess is that this is for his frat,...

i don't hate atheists
but seriously guys, you need to all calm down. recently on my dashboard, i’ve been seeing an awful lot of posts about why religion is bad, why religion is wrong, why people hate religion and so on and so forth.
but you guys are just as bad as every religious activist who is trying to shove their beliefs down other people’s throats under the guise of “educating them”. just because you don’t...

Hannah's Laundry Adventure
or, “Does Anyone Else Wash Their Fucking Sheets?!”
Today I decided to finally do laundry. I haven’t done laundry since I had my nervous breakdown and the health center lady gave me 3 Xanax, partially because I’m lazy, partially because I haven’t needed to, and partially because I have no money. So today I put $5.00 on my laundry card during lunch and began the...

my room mate just asked me:
“Hey, can you ask Julia if she’ll buy me a pack of cigarettes next time she’s in town? I’ll pay her.”
So I told Julia and she said, “Well, I guess, but it won’t be any time soon. I have finals to study for.”
Me: “I’ll just do it when I go to the train station to pick Stuart up Friday. Why did she ask you, anyway?”
Julia:...

DRD's Next Top Model (and bromance)
In the first phase of our “plan” to get hella sexy bulk up for the upcoming spring dragon boat season, everyone on DRD (Davis Racing Dragons) is taking before and after pictures and body measurements before the start of winter quarter (when hardcore team conditioning starts) to track improvement. It was decided that we didn’t perform as well at the College cup race partially because we did not...

and since then, i’ve thought about it a lot more than i probably should’ve.you’re pretty, but you should try harder. what was that supposed to mean? i should try harder at what? should i wear more makeup? wear revealing clothes? smoke weed and drink every weekend so that i get so drunk i can’t remember who or what i did the night before? should i be more promiscuous? flirt violently and take...

Departures
Today, I watched the movie “Departures” directed by Yoshiro Takita with Chris, and I have to say it was one of the most touching and beautiful movies I have seen in quite a long time.
It follows Daigo Kobayashi, a man who leaves behind his career in Tokyo as an orchestra cello player and moves back to his hometown with his reluctant wife. By happenstance, he takes on a job in which he...

No Time Anymore (Part 3)
… rather strange, as I hoped death would come swiftly ever since that day. I guess it had taken a liking to me, which was good for everyone else but bad for me, and bad for everything I had ever once loved.
Its torture of me continued for fourteen months, the longest and most agonizing 36816413.6 seconds of my life. Every day was spent in submission, every night haunted by gruesome...

today north korea fired artillery at south korea.
there’s a guy who lives at the very end of my floor and is in my chinese class. his name is d-kim. at the very beginning of the semester we had a very very brief thing. nothing happened. we’re still really good friends though.
d-kim was recruited by a lot of colleges because he can jump about 6 feet high. so he does long jump for our track and field team. he’s a cs major....

No time anymore. (Part 2)
…But first, a little backstory. It was November the eighth, 1995. It was a cold, dreary day here in New London. The rain pounded against the windows of my small apartment, thunder booming like the roar of the demons below.
What a fitting metaphor.
You know how, in the old stories, old women offering gifts are usually a bad omen? Yeah. I should’ve heeded those warnings. What that old...

No time anymore. (Part 1)
And by time I mean HUGE ERECT PENISES the sweet release of death.
I sit here in my dingy apartment, legs splayed, watching a “Sesame Street” marathon. That is, if your definition of “Sesame Street” marathon is counting the people with real jobs and real lives as they pass by my window in a faux Transylvanian accent. I look towards my desk, or what part of it I could see through the pizza boxes...
Rules of the Story Ball
If the Story Ball is thrown to you, take a second out of your busy life and write a silly, nonsensical, random, ridiculous, foolish, and batshit crazy continuation of the story.
Seriously, it’ll make you feel better.

Do you believe in God?
Someone recently asked me whether or not I believed in God, and to be honest, when people ask this,I never really know how to answer. It’s not so much my conflicting feelings about the possibility of the existence of a higher power (implied Judeo-Christian deity in this situation), but more so how to express my beliefs about religion, about life and philosophy.
First and foremost, I...

Power Ten
Right now I’m packing my stuff for the College Cup dragon boat race this weekend in Oakland. In order to save money, several people living in the Bay Area generously agreed to house various members of the team who did not live in close proximity to the race site.
I’m excited because this will be my first race with DRD (Davis Racing Dragons), and I’m on boat 1 (the “better,...

today i had a nervous breakdown for the first time...
and it was just as much fun as i remember.
which incidentally was not much fun at all.
no more classes today. i’m going to take a hot shower and do my laundry. i have a lot of work to do before tomorrow and i realize that the only real way i’m going to calm down is by doing it.

Angry face.
You know what bothers me? When teachers give easy example problems in class, explain everything in a vague and Italian-accented way in order to give us a false sense of confidence, and then fuck us over with overly complicated math problems on the midterm.

During his lectures, my calculus professor would show us how to take the derivative of simple equations...

Hooked on Knowledge
I’m finding that I want to learn absolutely everything. My bookshelf is lined with books on design, programming, art and digital media (including sound), philosophy, quantum physics, religion (or the philosophy of), and my Amazon queue is filled to the brim with all of this and more.
I’m addicted to knowledge with a passion, and it’s an incredibly liberating feeling. I love the feeling of...
