Miss Yum Yum

This weekend with friends and family has been a blast. I will make this post short. I would recommend watching or owning the movie Gran Torino. It is a good movie and I am sure you will enjoy it.



Funny Quote from the Movie:
Clint met a kid at his neighbor's basement, where the kids congregate from various families. At this part of the movie Clint's neighbor invited Clint over for some festivities.

Walt(Clint Eastwood): What is your name?
Youa(Girl): Youa
Walt:Yuam, a pleasure (Sounds like You yum)
Youa:No Youa
Walt: Ok Yum Yum pleasure!

At this point of the movie, Clint Eastwood was drinking TsinTao Beer, it is hilarious to see a cowboy like Clint drinking Chinese beer.

Walt later walks over to Thao and told him Youa likes him:

Walt: Well you are blowing it with that girl who was there.
Thao: You dont know what you are talking about.
Walt: You are wrong Eggroll, I know exactly what I am talking about.
Walt: But you, you know, you are letting Click Clack, Ding Dong and Charlie Chan walk out with what is her face....
Thao: Who?
Walt: Yum Yum


Yes when all humor fails funny stereotypes and hard to pronounce Asian names saves the day. I enjoyed the humor and I think Clint did his best trying to NOT offend Asian people. Gran Torino is actually a very meaningful movie. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Peace!

Karl Strauss, Late Night and Carlsbad in the Rain

I have been fighting off my cold for a week and a half. It is not the most pleasant feeling in the world but we are human and even Superman is afraid of the kyptonite. My sleeping habits can be better and 4-5 hours is not exactly healthy for my cold or my much needed glycogen in my muscles. Last night, it was a blast celebrated my friends birthday at Karl Strauss, I would recommend getting their pork chops next time you visit, it is really good. On top of that I even got my friend a Karl Strauss Logo glass, pretty neat. I also saved a portion of my Karl Strauss porkchop for my Monday's lunch. It was a good night.....

Check this out: http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm (Unemployment)

And this:

1- In the Asian, African and Latin American countries, well over 500 million people are living in what the World Bank has called "absolute poverty"

2- 3 billion people in the world today struggle to survive on US$2/day.

3- Every year 15 million children die of hunger

4 - Every 3.6 seconds someone dies of hunger

5 - To satisfy the world's sanitation and food requirements would cost only US$13 billion- what the people of the United States and the European Union spend on perfume each year. (WTF perfume?)

So I thought about other peoples problems and all the sudden it seems like my problems are A LOT smaller.

There are a lot of problems in this world, how are we making it a better place?
