"why you keep stealing all our women?"

"cuz we wanna end the korean race.  everyone's gonna become hybrids"


the art of the bandito can take on many forms.  it starts with facebok fridays because what's better than a hangover and facebook to piece together the previous nigths events.  then there's sunday night bandito...which..just builds the coilspring for the week to come.  this week bandito technique was quite successful by our dentist friend.  (send a message the night before,  add in the prospect of increasing your network and the much coveted after party at tenjune and ......VOILA)

welcome to the YHS formula.  and the asian party uniform. (the tube top and the miniskirt)

and while other people got drunk and went home, me n a singaporean turned to bar select for miami models and their high school senior sister and rather than staying for kicks.  the singaporean went on a schwarma binge....

this weekend, felt exactly the same as the last.  in fact, the past 14 days have just felt like groundhogs day.  but in a good way.  in a fun way.  in a way where u're thinking right before u go to sleep "i hope we do this again tomorrow"...what can i say about living @ the frat house while pushing into my late 20s?  what can i say about living my mid twenties being completely in love with the movie "old school" only to be living it right now.  at this point, an intervention might be in order because "we ordered 150 dollars worth of chinese food.  and my beloved buddy went mike tyson on the delivery guy (who was at fault b/c he demanded a 10% tip and refused to give change back)...and while consuming our spicy szechuan meal, we reminisced about our fraternity pledging memories and how a few pledges here and there would be nice).....at this point, an intervention might be in order because "yesterday i ordered 5 40oz of coors light along with a 24 pack and the deli guy said...1D?  he knows us. and we know him"......and that's not to mention i ordered from that deli at 3am the night before 2x in the span of 10 minutes.  both orders chock full of food, beer and cigarettes.  and it's just the irony of life and luck (good and bad) that brings me full circle right back into this predicament that has us all reeling backwards, enjoying nyc summers and male bonding.

"i dont understand how he (who will not be named) lives with his gf and still finds it in him to take these weekend excursions every month with her....."
"i'd do it with a bunch of other couples....(ur own friends and their gfs) but just one girl?  that's just too intimate"

we're just not ready.
 
kind of weird wei tai is in ny.  wah lao eh!

we're creating a little choose your own adventure storybook photoalbum for the two.....mike and michelle say their "i love you's" before diving into the perilous deep waters of the carribean searching for the cho family petrified daikon...rumored to have been stolen from korea and sold by pirates last scene here in the carribean...ARRRRGGGHHHHH SHIVER ME TIMBERS....where is chomo's eye patch?

too bad this is actually the jersey shore and all that the two star crossed lovers find is a petrified jean jacket. disappointed in their meager find, the two toss the jacket aside and engage in a staring contest which lasts deep into the night....

....8 hours in, the two continue to stare at each other...their faces lit by the pale blue light of the moon and stars....both, with stone cold determination refuse to look away.

Michael asks his still faced lover, "how are you able to do this for so long?"... Read More

Michelle replied, "thats what she said, son."

The two laugh and embrace, conceding to a tie. In holding each other they realize just how cold it had gotten. They look around the boat for something to warm them up and find nothing...until they come across the denim jacket they found earlier in the day...

...the freezing couple, upon realizing they still had jean jacket, mustered up whatever energy was left after the 8 hour staring contest and huddled under the jacket using it as both a tent for warmth and an unsaid metaphor for their unyielding love pushing each others bodies closer and hearts closer..."preventing hypothermia" as they put it. in ... Read Moretheir frozen haste, they did not realize that this was not the same jean jacket they had thrown into the sea earlier that day...their judgement impaired by the love or the cold, and under the full moon and under the stars, the blinding sparkle of this bedazzled jacket got lost in the haze of the night....

as the two lovers fell asleep, this jacket, with origins from the magical denim slums of bandung, indonesia, cast a mighty spell over the two....
there is an argument that if i had not been pulled back down to earth the past 5 years, my inner snob would surpass chomo.  hahaa.....in case you forgot what the subway looks like...

ever since shamu....back in january...sam gyup sul hasn't tasted the same.  and so it was an easy move to replace kunjip with arang as the new 4x a week 4am eating joint.  so loving this cheese jae yook dukboki.  oh delish.
