2011 New Yrs Resolutions

Dear God,

I'll promise to stop going around looking for a girl who's down to hook up in a confessional booth if you'll just let me accomplish these three simple things in 2011.

1) Pay my friend the money I owe him for damages done to his backyard by my crazy ass dog. That's right, neither of us could've ever imagined that a cute little pug would be capable of such destruction and disaster. I mean look at her, lying there looking all innocent n' shit!!!



But inside, she's a fucking devil, a straight terror!!!!! My friend calls her Paris Hilton now (cuz the bitch goes after the expensive stuff), though I think the recklessness of Lindsay Lohan would make a more fitting nickname.






2) Finish my documentary on the 14th annual dance massive Electric Daisy Carnival. Teens, drugs, death - nothing out of the ordinary as far as what you hear about raves in the news. The promising thing is that LA County has been working with electronic music advocates to come up with safety regulations for all future events.



Last week, however, San Francisco Assemblywoman Fiona Ma decided to propose a bill to ban raves from all public venues in CA. Such a bill would basically render all the work LA County has been doing obsolete, and also overshadow my film on the LA rave scene with a rather shitty ending. She has since decided to put the bill on hold. We can probably thank the thousands of people who spoke out against her efforts for that one, including Senator Leland Yee.




Damn, it's like a battle of the Asian politicians. Maybe I should run for office too. I wonder what my campaign would be like...





3) Become a writer at Intervention? Yeah right, who knows. Here's the release of my last assignment. There were so many corrections and negative feedback on my work but I'm just gonna keep chuggin' along like the lil' engine that could. Either that, or I'll give up and go back to my old job...





And here are a few goals I had set before that little monster I call my dog sent me into debt. Oh well, I guess there's always 2012...

1) Buy my own camera. Cuz I will only last so long borrowing from friends and work.
2) Go to Switzerland. Why? This is why.
3) I'm also due for a trip to the motherland. Haven't been back since Feb '06 before my grandma passed away. She's probably staring down at me right now, laying upon me that elderly Asian guilt.
