I Hate Church…

I Hate Church….

This post is amazing and so true. We as Christians really need to evaluate our lives and how (and if) we are shining the light of Jesus into others’ lives. Are we shutting them out from the light, shunning people who aren’t like us, who live in “darkness”? Or are we spreading the light, spreading truth, to people who are just like us, but lost and broken?

I see “Christians” standing on street corners and in front of convention halls downtown with large speakers, telling people, yelling at people, screaming that random passerbys or convention cosplayers and attendees are going to hell. Saying things to homosexual/LGBTQA people that their ways are disgusting or dirty or whatever.

I just want to scream back: No. YOU are the liar. You are the one who is lost, misguided, wrong, all those horrible things you call those other people. You shouldn’t be judging.

Instead of shutting people out, we need to let people in. We need to spread the love, not kill it. Not try to cut it off, burn it down, bury it six-feet-under so that we don’t have to deal with issues or problems.

Our gospel, first and foremost, is about Love. Goodness. That’s what gospel means, right? The good news? Well, the good news isn’t that we’re trying to stop gay marriage or get rid of gang members or abortion or whatever. We’re trying to bring people to God, so that they can experience his love, his goodness, his warmth, not so that they can be constantly humiliated and judged and cussed at. We’re all sinners, we all make mistakes, we’re HUMAN. Only God knows our hearts. So who are we to judge?

Princess.of.Tea

One of the famous songs from My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox!It reminds me a lot of saeguk (historical) drama 🙂

The scene where Mi Ho is left on boat by herself is really sad.. I cried when I watch it T_T

The Pixar Theory

Jon Negroni

Every Pixar movie is connected. I explain how, and possibly why.

In 2012, I watched a video on Cracked.com that introduced the idea (at least to me) that all of the Pixar movies actually exist within the same universe. Since then, I’ve obsessed over this concept, working to complete what I call The Pixar Theory, a working narrative that ties all of the Pixar movies into one cohesive timeline with a main theme. Another, longer, title is “The Grand Unifying Theory of Pixar Movies.”

This theory covers every feature-length movie made by Pixar Animation Studios since 1995. They include:

• Toy Story
• A Bug’s Life
• Toy Story 2
• Monsters Inc.
• Finding Nemo
• The Incredibles
• Cars
• Ratatouille
• Wall-E
• Up
• Toy Story 3
• Cars 2
• Brave
• Monsters University
• Inside Out (in Part 2)
• The Good Dinosaur (in Part 3)
• Finding Dory (in Part 4)
• Cars 3, Coco, Incredibles 2, and Toy Story…

My eyes

do not skim the page

fast enough

the new text

arrives neatly in Times New Roman

not scrawled in black ink

the grocery list on my refrigerator

the information

comes too quickly and all at once

it is impossible to absorb

and learn everything

after an hour, I store my eyes away

for another opportunity to

catch up in the evening.

 

morning in nyc

My disgust

as the skyscraper splits open

the morning sun

is tangible

I hear myself utter

a silent cry of dissent

but quickly return to my

black morning coffee

and week-old newspaper.

free and fleeting wind

Your eyes glimmered, modest and inconspicuously,
like the sun through the monsoon, in diaphanous
simplicity, a pure elegance.

Beauty this innocent is rarely glimpsed upon in this
earth, you are as fleeting as the lilies of the valley
and as demure as the doe.

Though compassionate and ardent, in matters of the
heart you were elusive, your heart was ever tucked
away in a crystalline vault.

Perhaps it is this harmonious kinship with nature’s
spirit that remembers its cruel indifference, prefers
pleasantries and simplicity.

You lock your heart away with thorns and brambles
loose your soul in eternal ebbing waves of the sea
for life in tranquil aesthete.

They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder
which you say is the reason you go; I attribute this
upon wind and wanderlust.

Dauntless, you said, is the torch of humanity, we
too easily loose ourselves amongst crashing waves
enthralled by Siren’s voices.

Yet you chase after the invisible, nonexistent, you
search for your home: of silence, solitude, solace;
of peaceful convalescence.

You were wrong: my love for you burns brighter than
Sun, stars, and their luminescent glory, but you are the
wind: fantasy, ephemeral.

Beating heart locked in labyrinthine chambers, yet you
are free as the wind, evanescent wanderer, and one
cannot romance the wind.

“The racial category Asian lumps together widely diverse groups with no common language, phenotype, or culture who come to the U.S. under vastly different circumstances…

How do you mash together Laotian war refugees and Japanese business investors and come up with an average or mean experience?…

So let’s get it straight. The term “Asian” in the U.S. was chosen by Asian American activists as an alternative to the pejorative “Oriental.” The Oriental is the creation of Europeans for whom the Orient was an object of curiosity and a source of riches to be studied and exploited. In modern times, the study of the Orient, especially in contrast with the civilized world of the Occident (aka Europe), solidified an idea of Orientals as exotic, potentially dangerous Others.

Activists back in the 1960s decided they wanted to reject the label Oriental and call themselves Asian American instead. Subsequent generations of Asian Americans have gathered as a coalition under the Asian American banner in order to resist being treated like Orientals. But don’t get it twisted, the idea of an Asian or Oriental race is a creation of white people, not of Asians.”

Race Files

The June 19 release of the Pew Research Center report, The Rise of Asian Americans is generating buzz that is, frankly, giving me a headache.

The report summary opens with the following:

Asian Americans are the highest-income, best-educated and fastest-growing racial group in the United States. They are more satisfied than the general public with their lives, finances and the direction of the country, and they place more value than other Americans do on marriage, parenthood, hard work and career success….

Asian Americans trace their roots to any of dozens of countries in the Far East, Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. Each country of origin subgroup has its own unique history, culture, language, religious beliefs, economic and demographic traits, social and political values, and pathways into America.

But despite often sizable subgroup differences, Asian Americans are distinctive as a whole, especially when compared with all U.S. adults, whom they…
