My needs vs. wants
I must be really getting old cause I am always tired.
Or I need a new bed. I think I need to invest in one of those crazy temperpedic beds or those number beds. Currently I am sleeping in one of those Ikea beds that Lisa had for a long time and I am always tired. Lack of good sleep perhaps. Mel bought one of those crazy number beds and he says its great.
I need a new bed, new TV, new car, and most importantly, a new house.
So do I really need these thing or do I want them?
I need to win the lotto.

The Grace Lee Project
I watched this documentary over this weekend. It is a movie about a woman named Grace Lee who finds the similarities of many Grace Lees of United States. It was entertaining and funny. I can see why people find it intersting. The commonality of all the mediocre lives of many Grace Lees were really fascinating. The film was talking about how so many Grace Lees were reserved, dutiful, piano-playing overachievers. So the film maker Grace Lee searches for Grace Lees who broke that mold. As I walked out of the theater, I was a bit bothered by the filmmaker's insecurities. Only because it seemed as if being a person who was reserved, dutiful, piano-playing overachiever was not okay. What is wrong with being a reserved, dutiful, piano-playing overachiever? Well, its just a name. But I enjoyed it. I can say its worth at least 90 minutes of your life.
The funny thing is that I too know a Grace Lee that some what fits the mold. I am sure if another Grace Lee saw this movie, she will want to break out of the mold and become an out going, irrisponsible, and crazy.
I think it was a statement of Asian American woman.
Oh the strugles of Asian American women....
If you ask me, they have it better than Asian American men. Talk about the least desirable group..... At least Asian women are wanted. Even the ugly ones. I know that this sounds insensitive, but how many times have you seen a good looking white/black dudes with some seriously broke Asian chicks? Now how many Broke Asian dudes have you seen with Hot chicks of other race?
Maybe the rich ones like Tom Vu.
