I was listening to the radio the other day, and I heard this field commander claim that "...we are very close to Osama bin Laden's hiding place.  The day that we capture him can happen at anytime...in a month, a week, a few days, or even tomorrow."

I don't know about you, but it seemed kind of fishy.  This only further confirms my belief that Bush has already captured Osama and is waiting for the right moment (such as three days before election 04) to unveil to America that Osama has been caught.  Results matter, right?

Despite this, I still think Bush will win the election.  Bush has a much more positive message than Kerry, and history has shown that candidates who advertise a unifying theme (as opposed to Kerry's "two americas") simply do better come election time.  I'm not even sure this is a bad thing; although Bush isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, I feel as if Kerry is...untrustworthy.  I see Kerry as the one who has a greater potential to screw America.  At least with Bush, I've seen what's he's done, and honestly, I dont think it's TOO bad of a job (but not great either).  I guess you can say I want to consolidate our losses.

In accordance to the numerous banners floating around in forums and whatnot:

"Bush vs. Kerry...whoever wins, we lose." 

Note: Many of you may rightfully think that I am heavily biased towards anything asian.  But I do think there is something special about the US, and it would be terrible for any president to ruin it. 

God bless America.

*sigh*

Another summer comes, and goes...

But on the brighter side, I get to see those "WORK MODE !" away messages again.

BACK!  Well, I've been back ever since Monday, but that doesn't matter.  To summarize, the "college hunt" to LA was eye-opening in many regards (for example, seeing so many FINE girls at UCLA...not to mention those free milk tea refills...) and what can I say, I'm in love with Southern California.  It's too cold up here in the Bay Area, and the food sucks in comparison.  You know life is good when you can eat a super humongous dinner, go take idiotic-but-pleasantly-enjoyable Japanese sticker pics, chill out at the local driving range (yes, golf) with your Korean and Canto buddies, and finish the day with a Coconut pudding dessert. 

I didn't want to look like a tourist, so I didn't  take as many pics as I should have.  Anyways, here:



The mighty Trojan, the mascot of USC.  It's not too bad of a school, but it's in the ghetto of LA.  During both of the USC and UCLA tour guides, I learned of the intense rivalry between the two schools.  So intense, that apparently UCLA students, right before the "big game," once chopped off the Trojan's hand (with its sword) and glued it up its ass. 



Yes, it's a DVD machine.  The little screen to the top right of the machine shows previews of the movies being sold.  C4, Kill Bill!



A stellar look at that architectural beauty, the library of UCSD. 



Just chilling with my uncle in Beverly Hills.  It was hella funny because it was totally empty when we got there, and during the 45 minutes - hour we were sitting there, about 25 people came into the shop!  The shop owner didn't want us to leave because we were bringing in such good revenue, but all good things come to an end.



After we practically visited all of the colleges in SoCal, my family went to my mom's friend.  It also happened to be her daughter's birthday, so we got her a cake.  Big props to the guy at Baskin Robbins who let us in even though the shop was supposedly "closed!"
