<li>Honesty is important. There should be a balance in sharing honesty. That's where straightforwardness comes into play. The italics portions is my opinion. Scroll down for the relevant material. I like honesty and straightforwardness. Everyone likes to know the truth. I've often heard single friends wish that they knew who had a boyfriend/girlfriend- that they [...]
I've been really busy so far. I've changed my view on 'not getting anywhere'. I feel like I've done quite a bit , but seems like the works never ends. One of my pieces is being at this year's International Computer Music Conference in June(ICMC)- part of their 60x60 concerts. I've written a piece for [...]
I was navigating through Hulu today and I accidentally clicked on this short film. After it started, I thought, 'why not, just watch it?'. It's worth the 17-some minutes. http://www.hulu.com/watch/70847/reel-moments-orchids I've been working really hard lately and I don't feel like I've gotten anywhere. The semester is going to start Tuesday and I'm almost finished [...]
I've been re-learning to live this past semester. My girlfriend of almost two years and I broke up, catapulting me to rediscover singledom- which, after two years, was something I was not used to, relatively. One good thing that grew out of this, was that I passed and did well in my classes. I don't [...]

From brushing teeth, meals, laughing, sheet lightening, and how to judge how fun things are. When you think of something [...]

I haven't written in a very long time. Last semester, I arranged and directed music to an LSU theatre production of Maria Irene Fornes's Promenade , music by Al Carmines. It was an "experimental" musical at the time in the 1970's, that didn't reach much success. Fornes's obsurdist approach to forming the piece may have [...]
I'm on my way back to Baton Rouge after a week visiting my parents in Florida. My stay was actually cut short because of a strengthening Tropical Storm Fay approaching the bay area. With word that the storm system would strike on Tuesday afternoon, my would-be departure time, Southwest airlines posted they would honor adjustments [...]
I've spent several hours on the phone with E-trade, trying to close my account. They are probably the most frustrating and backwards company ever. Closing my account involves a fax, where an email, internet, or phone will not do. I've sent a fax 3 times with instructions to close my account, everytime I call to [...]
At the hotel in Denton, I was waiting for the elevator when a father of two, sitting in the lobby, yelled something in spanish at me. I turned around, puzzled. He asked if I spoke spanish. No, I'm asian. Oh. You look like you're from Vera Cruz. I'm from Taiwan. Oh. Okay. The elevator opened. [...]
