Minority @ MindSay

So I've taken some time off here for a couple of months for the Holidays from my full time career.  Not everyone can do that i know. But I quit my full time job back in August so that I could follow my dreams and be able to do that!  I am only 23 years old and I stay at home - and I model!  I have been modeling on and off now since I was 11 years old and I love it.  Times get hard and jobs get few and far between but with every one - I have hope that maybe THIS is the one... maybe THIS will get me somewhere.  But in all reality, I know that whatever happens happens.  People can say I'm too short or not "experienced" behind the camera enough - they can say I'm nothing special.  I know this isn't true.  I know I have something special and I can only make it if I try.  Even if all I ever do is odd jobs locally left and right - I will be happy.  I LOVE what I do! I am creating my own path and overcoming so many obstacles I went through to get where I am at and I am lucky enough to be able to not work.  I am thankful for everything I have in my life.  Some people think that being a minority is an obstacle in itself, some think that it makes things easier - I agree with both.  I have never been handed anything (including scholarships) just for being a minority.  However, I have worked harder and appreciated everything I have ever had because I knew I worked for it!  I absolutely love where my family comes from - a background of hard work and dedication... and I know that no matter where I end up in this crazy career of modeling - I will be proud of myself and hold my head up high.  I will never look back on my life and say... what if... because I am doing exactly what I wanted to do all my life!!!  One day at a time...

Are you laughing?

Adam Carolla, former co-host of that pinnacle of moronitude and slob humor show, "The Man Show", thinks it's funny.

He did a skit poking fun at the Asian Excellence Awards and thought saying "ching-chong"" was so funny that he did it 42 times- consecutively. http://racerelations.about.com/b/a/244914.htm

Are you laughing your ass off?

Woo-hoo!! What a hoot!

What next? "Me Chinese! Me make joke!" skits?

How about resurrecting that bucktoothed slanty-eyed, glasses-wearing abomination that Mickey Rooney portrayed in "Breakfast at Tiffany's"?

You up for some "Chinese, Japanese, dirty knees..."?

Remember when I said that I am usually shocked when I hear about things like this?

I'm getting less and less surprised.

Asians are considered "fair game" when it comes to stuff like this. We're considered the folks who don't fight back- the invisible and silent minority.

Unreal.

Stereotypes and blatant racism are, plainly put, for the feeble minded.

They're for the folks who can't conceive of, comprehend or imagine viewing life outside of their field of vision. It's easier after all to cling to the old standby- the belief that people are, because of the color of their skins and their cultural, racial or ethnic background, a certain way.

A note of interest...

Boredom inspires hormonal attacks within periods of excessive heat or the overconsumption of a heavy amount of chocolate and fruitcake...

as i have been exposed repeatedly to the above for the past month and a half; i have formed quite a collection of pictures of the extremely-hot-even-when-not-under-the-influence-of-hormones-type-guy, Billie Joe...

for those of you who disagree with my opinion and call him such things as a "yokel" (Joe you will die)

I would strongly recommend that you cease viewing this page post-haste... as in NOW!

thankyou for your time...

for those of you still reading, below are some pictures i found of the man in question as well as some lyrics to one of their older songs... back before the days of American Idiot.

btw, you can blame this on little miss daniel (kirstin) because of her recent facination with the band, my already obsessive love of the band has increased about ten-fold.

but hey... happens to everyone at some point!

am i wrong?

didn't think so....

Artist: Green Day
Album: Warning
Title: Minority

I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I want to be the minority

I pledge allegiance to the underworld
One nation under dog
There of which I stand alone
A face in the crowd
Unsung, against the mold
Without a doubt
Singled out
The only way I know

I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Casue I want to be the minority

Stepped out of the line
Like a sheep runs from the herd
Marching out of time
To my own beat now
The only way I know

One light, one mind
Flashing in the dark
Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
"For crying out loud" she screamed unto me
A free for all
F*** 'em all
You are your own sight

I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I want to be the minority

so that's about it for now, tune in next time for more estrogen-provoked rambling...

mez christmas everybodies

that is all.
