How Do Chinese People Come Up With Names For Their Children?

Wordpress, Here I Come

This is a Monday coming to a close that started early enough, with me waking up just in time for Jeopardy, to the degree that the first category for the first round was being read by Alec (the one that comes on at 6 PM is the current one, with Aaron Rogers a recent host.

Of course, you already knew this: They throw a handful of eating utensils on a marble counter top. Chang Tang Chung! and then maybe: Ping Ting Chong, if it's twins.

As for right now it is Tuesday and the sun is coming up. I am a couple beers and a 3 hour wait until Jeopardy comes on again.

Jacob moved his studio back to where he had gotten kicked out of.

I got the idea to get a headset microphone to go along with a small portable amp in order to be upgraded some when I go back to busking.

Lilly called me yesterday morning to ask if I ate "TV dinners," of which she has come into possession of a lot of. It may have been a ruse to ask me if I have gotten vaccinated yet, as that question came up. She seemed to already know the answer, as she offered "no" to me as I fumbled for words and hesitated a second.

I told her about being put on hold and giving up when I called.

 Jacob stayed here for the 10 overnight stays that are allowed for guests here. The fact that they accurately counted the days and gave me a notice upon the 9th day probably means that there are a lot of residents trying to abuse the rules and they wanted to make sure those people couldn't turn around and say: "What about the guy in A110, he's had a guest for at least 20 days!," and so they have to be "fair."

It was a generally positive experience -the first ten days.

I had feared that he would try to impose himself and mold the environment to his image; but he did well for someone whose whole daily routine had been supplanted with staying with me and having no money, except what he could get from busking at the Lilly Pad.

Non PC View of POC

Person of color means only one thing: non-white. That's all one needs to qualify for POC status. It's "us against them." And all in the name of eradicating the "us against them" mentality that places whites at the top of the totem pole.

It surely seemed to mean a whole lot to that Japanese guy who recently became the first from his nation to win a golf tournament on the PGA circuit.

A national holiday was declared and there were parades and confetti; well, maybe that was rice noodles, but the idea is that every race on the planet uses us whites  as the gold standard of excellence in every area. Everyone loved to see the look on Hitler's face after Jesse Owens outran his "master" athletes.

A national holiday because a Japanese guy actually bested the rest of the field in the PGA. Seems like they hold the institutions that are under attack in pretty high esteem.

Tiger Woods seemed poised to become part of history by winning more majors than Jack Nicklaus, the Golden Bear, who has his own line of lemon iced tea.

I have reviewed that iced tea on this blog. "Jack tees off on this one!" "This is one that is definitely going in the hole [the mouth]" etc.

"I mix Smirnov Vodka with Jack Nicklaus iced tea; I call it a Jack-ov," I once joked to a lady standing behind me at the counter at the Unique Grocery on Royal Street. This got a laugh from her; a feather in my cap, considering, in that block of the Quarter, people generally ignore others and would try to suppress laughter and avoid eye contact. I didn't press my luck by telling her about the "Jack-n-Jack" that I made by combining that same iced tea with a popular bourbon whiskey.

Tiger imploded right before that would ever happen. As if something inside of him just wouldn't let him better The Golden Bear.

Marital infidelity; lying, cheating...par for the course for too large a portion of African American culture, true? One major tournament shy of the record and; somehow I guess he looked deep inside himself and determined that he just didn't deserve it; maybe it was the guilt. 

Why that blond that married him didn't take heed from examining the life of Wilt Chaimberland et. al. is probably something she is still kicking herself over.

But my point is, as much as these other races want to join forces by identifying as "of color" in order to gang up against, and oppress the white race -sinking to Hitler's level- they sure do want the be "the first person of color" to rise to the top of the very world they want to tear down.

We haven't had a black world champion chess player. I bet that would be a great cause for celebration; more evidence that "we can be just as good as them," type of thing. But, why don't they start their own league, where the game is modified so that pieces aren't captured, and where all that matters is that you feel good about the way your pieces are splayed out across the board.

And Asians, I applaud you.

For not lumping yourselves in with the BLM, Antifa, "of color" Marxist crowd.

"You don't want to be of color, you're better than that!"

I think the black's animosity towards you is because you are not letting yourselves become recruited for the "people of color" army.

You want diversity? Look no further than the white race...

You will see blond hair with blue eyes, blond hair with brown eyes, blond hair with green eyes. Brunettes with blue eyes, brunettes with....well, you get the picture. There are as many variants of white as there are races other than white; right?

You Asians might be stuck with black hair and brown eyes, but that doesn't make you stupid lemmings.

Please don't ever identify yourselves as being "of color," that is beneath you. You are some of the hardest working and inventive people in the world.

All the African American attacks against Asians that I read about is sickening.

But, don't mess with the Asians, or their next virus will be reverse-engineered using the sickle cell anemia matrix; and that one might actually "disproportionately effect people of color." I wouldn't mess with the Asians...just sayin'.

As far as the cancel culture, and these people getting fired from their jobs and having their whole careers go down the toilet because they "imitated" an Asian in a "derogatory way" (as deemed so by the cancel culture) by squinting their eyes and trying to talk like them, or something.

All I can say is, grow up, snowflakes. We made Italian, Irish, and Polish jokes in mixed company all the time when I was growing up; and nobody cried and tried to cancel us.

People who want to do away with the meritocracy, are generally losers who want to tip the playing field in their favor any way they can see a way to. 2+2 can equal 6 if that is your truth, type of B.S....

Hopefully no late night comedians will have to bash the president out of fear of losing their jobs, come 2024..
