San Diego Asian Film Festival took place the past couple weeks. I unfortunately missed almost every single bit of it...grrrr. I was looking forward to attending this year. I hadn't been to it in a few years and the last couple times I went it was a lot of fun. I wanted to see a few films including "White on Rice" but nooooo. Heh anyway thanks to Grace on here I found out it was still going on. Unfortunately I still couldn't make it to many of the shows, but I did set away to see Ip Man, the closing ceremony film.
I invited DY, Tommy and Wilder to come along when I saw them last weekend during some practice we were doing. It was a long trek for them, one I make frequently, but I'm crazy they're not heh. So I wasn't sure if they would make it. Next problem, the day of the film, thursday I heard the film was already sold out. I rushed down to the theatre and bought tickets for everyone...sold out my butt, it was packed though.
We got in, but we were a bit late so we got stuck in the front three rows. Still seeing Ip Man on the big screen was well worth it.
Only shot I got from inside the event...dark lighting = blurry photo from my old crappy point and shoot.
After the film I took the guys out to eat at a late night Ramen shop in San Diego named Tajima.
Oh yeah was a couple nights before Halloween so people were trickling in in costumes...
And thus concluded our thursday night of food and moviery.

When I was around 12 or 13 I saw the most inspirational movie I had ever seen...in a non martial arts/action hero sort of way. While up to that point I had always wanted to be a Ninja/Bruce Lee/Superman hybrid I had never really considered wanting to be a romantic...or a great lover. I mean I was only 13. I knew what sex was since I was 4-ish, I saw my first naked girl when I was 3, first full nude woman (other than family members) also at 3. My neighbor used to make me take baths with her 2 and 8 year old daughters...I would sit in the back and cover my privates while they just played in the bath tub. I have a feeling they thought I was too young to think anything about it...but the image is still clearly burned into my memory. You would think something like that would make me less shy. I mean I was nude taking baths with other nude females since I was little...but nope if anything it probably just made me more shy. Not to mention I had a huge crush on the 8 year old.
Anyway that was a random tangent about an old story. Back to the main point. When I was 13 I saw "Don Juan DeMarco" staring Johnny Depp and Marlon Brando. The story of the man who thought he was the greatest lover in the world... and the people who tried to cure him of it. In the movie Johnny Depp was Don Juan, the greatest lover ever. The movie starts off with him basically making a girl have an orgasm at a restaurant just by talking to her and playing with her fingers. He inspired me to strive to become the greatest lover. To become the most romantic I could be. He was the source of my goal to find a way to make a girl have an orgasm just from kissing her (which is obviously an impossible goal, but hey why not strive for the impossible?). I think I only saw the movie once back then but it definitely had a huge impact on me.
Later in high school, during drama class we had to chose plays for some exercise. So with my group I chose a scene from the play "Don Juan DeMarco" expecting it to be a similar story. While Don Juan was still a great lover, it was more a tale of the greatest player of all time. The Johnny Depp version was all about love and devotion AND being able to please your girl (hey like how I tied that back to the other blog? heh). Doing the scene from the play made me a little sad my hero was based on a jerk not a devoted lover and great man. Time went on and I slowly drifted away from my old goals.
Even my aspiration of being as pure and good as possible (reference to Superman) drifted away over time. Lots of bad happened and I became bitter, jaded, scared and depressed. That allowed the darkness to come in. Darkness that fills your heart and soul and changes who you are. It's kind of sad looking back on the time wasted letting myself lose track of old desires and goals. While I could have continued to strive to be the greatest person/lover/hero of all time I just slipped into mediocrity. I'm not talking about judging my own sexual capabilities. I think it's pretty impossible to judge that actually. When you're with someone who likes/loves you of course they will tell you you are the best ever, and once you break up they will tell everyone you were the worst ever...it's just how it goes. Some might do the opposite, some might tell the truth, but how can you be sure when it's the truth or they're just being kind and not wanting to hurt your feelings?
But striving to be the best you can be? There is nothing wrong with that, and in fact I think it should be encouraged of everyone. Not just in love/sex/romance but in all aspects of life. Just as long as it's not at the expense of others.

...is impossible.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<EDIT: Ok gotta first preface this by explaining that I'm only talking about girls views on what they think makes a guy physically hot and their "type" on that first encounter kind of basis. You know like when you see a guy walk by and think "Damn he's just my type. Such a hottie" (Do only girls say hottie anymore? I don't think I've heard a guy use that word in years)...anyway yep that's all. I know Mentally, romantically, financially, etc can all be waaay more important when it comes to a relationship, but this isn't really about the relationship aspect it's more about the initial surge of hormones that get a girl thinking a guy is hot without knowing anything other than physicality of the guy...for the most part.
/EDIT>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I mean come on really? Why does every girl I meet have a different standard of hot? And why is everything so precise?
When it comes to height I meet girls who are all into guys who are tall...but not too tall.
Me: So you like tall guys?
Girl: Oh yeah definitely, but you know...not too tall.
Me: Ok so like not 7'?
Girl: Haha yeah, nothing over 6.275 feet tall
Me: What the...ok...got it all down to exact measurements and stuff
I used to have a friend who said her future bf had to be no more or less than 4 inches taller than her because it was more perfect for kissing...I still don't understand that. I'm like 9" taller than most of the girls I've kissed (they all tend to be around the same height...weird heh) and haven't noticed any problems...but oh well.
Then every girl I meet has a different standard for body types.
Girl 1: I like em bigger you know, not fat but just nice and muscular, manly and big.
Girl 2: I like my man to be a little pudgy mmm.
Girl 3: I like them skinny boys.
Ex: You're too skinny it's disgusting and a turn off, gain weight or something.
Ok 1st off I'm definitely not big or pudgy, so there goes girl 1&2 categories. According to girl 3 categories I'm too big and don't fall under skinny boy category for those girls who like skinny guys anymore. And according to my ex (although she hasn't seen me since I gained like 25lbs) I'm too skinny and I disgust her. So that leaves me in the perfect spot of not being anyone's type wooo. I've recently met quite a few girls from each of those categories and the conversation usually goes "Ooooh you have a nice body but...(insert girl 1-3 or ex reaction here)."
Don't even get me started on the penis size thing.
G 1: Gotta be big
G 2: Gotta be big, but not tooo big cuz that just hurts
G 3: Average is perfect for me
G 4: I want to stay tight, so I like my guys small...(Makes no sense cuz you can still be tight if the guys average-bigger just don't have sex 10 times a day you'll be fine...)
G 1: I like a guy who's rich
G 2: I want a poor guy, he'll be more reasonable and understanding....ok that one will never happen especially not where I live but a poor guy can dream right? heh.
What else have I heard recently? Uhhh..
Short hair, long hair, spiked hair, flat hair, bald head...every girl has a different taste.
Tan guys, pasty guys, medium dark guys, dark as hell guys...
White, Asian, Black, Mexican, Half-breed, Halves who look more Asian than White, Halves who look more White than Asian...
Every girl has a different taste...but it almost always comes out like
Girl: Oooo damn...I love _____ guys.
Most often in my circle of people I meet the ___ is filled with "Asian, then white, then Half-breeds...and usually the half breeds who look more Asian than White" in that order the rest are just random or trickle in here or there.
The weird thing is you would think girls in the same circle of friends would have the same taste...or at least similar taste but nope ALL different. Which I guess is good because at least that way when one girl likes someone she doesn't have to worry about her friends going after the same guy. Also it would make sense if this was like a survailance of girls from lots of different races, or backgrounds but it's mostly entirely Asian girls + a few white girls and one black girl with mostly similar backgrounds I'm referencing in here.
I don't know about other guys but my criteria for what kind of girl I think is hot is pretty straight forward.
Smart and nice...that's about it, I'm simply and easy. I mean to be hot I guess she would have to be physically appealing too, but it's not like she has to be a specific height, a specific weight, hair color, cup size, innie or an outtie (only comparison I can get to penis size) etc. Although I usually find breasts over C cups unattractive and in general A's are nice so that would be my one thing I guess, but it's not like it really matters. If the girl is nice and smart and has D cups it's not going to do much except make me dread the day when we're old and those D cups are touching the floor. Each girl that I've been with have all been very different from the last so there's no real correlation to any of them. Although there's only one girl on my mind doesn't change the fact that in general a girl would have to fit a specific type/field/descrīption for me to consider her hot.
Girls are just impossible to please...so should just work on pleasing yourself...yep.

There are a lot of things I do not understand in my life at this point in time so here's a list. Plus random other observations about life.
I don't get why people assume I am a player. Is it because of how I look? Is it because I am a guy? Is it because of my age? Because I used to ride a motorcycle? Because I am Italian? Because I am Viet? Because...I can not even think of any other reasons. I never understand and it is a pretty common occurrence that people see me this way. At least that is what they say. Do they think it a compliment? I've only had 2 semi girlfriends, 1 real girlfriend, and 2 one night stands (both of which I did not really want and regret) out of 27 years of living. How in anyway does that equate a player. How does one go from being the loner outcast kind of guy in High School to mistaken as a player 3 months later when he enters College? That one has confused me since Septermber of 2000. Especially back in 2000 since I was mistakenly being called a player even though I had never even had a girlfriend yet.
If you are a girl and I'm talking to you, I am not hitting on you. Even if you think I am hitting on you, and you could swear I am into you...I am not. I am not suave enough to hit on you. I do not even know how to hit on a girl. When I like someone I am pretty stupid about it and just blurt out the fact that I like them. Or I try my best to not blurt it out and keep it in, and then after a while I just blurt it out. I do not really know subtlety. So if I never told you I wanted to be in a relationship with you, or that I really like you...then I have never hit on you. Nor have I had any interest in you other than friendship or conversation...is that not normal? Is that not how everyone should be? I do not talk to girls and think "Damn this girl just won't stop hitting on me." with no justification or proof that they are actually hitting on me. I wish girls would just ask "Hey are you hitting on me?" rather than just assume that I want to sleep, but then if you say no it just looks like you are trying to cover yourself and a girl would not likely believe it anyway. Sigh...girls heh. Or life should be like sims, and you have to click on the "hit on" button so they know exactly when you're hitting on them so they won't be conceited all the time thinking you are into them when you could care less.
If you're a guy and I'm talking to you I am 99% sure that I am hitting on you heh. Sorry can't help it.
If I turn you down for sex it is not because I am gay. Nor is the fact that I do not want/like to have sex with as many girls as possible proof of me being gay. It is probably because of three reasons. 1. I don't want whatever nasty ass diseases you've got. 2. I don't like having sex with girls I'm not in a relationship with. 3. I just don't find you attractive heh.
How I am always mistaken as being gay...ok well that one is actually not that confusing.
I don't get how people can be so nice and drop praises to my face, then go behind my back spreading rumors, talking crap saying things like I try to sleep with every girl I see, how pathetic I am or whatever. What is the use? People who know the truth know the truth, and people who are convinced are not worth the time. Do you not have your own life to worry about anyway? So Cal people...sheesh heh. When I do not like someone I do 1 of two things...sometimes both. 1. Avoid them, if we are in the same location just do not talk to them and ignore them. 2. Make it know that I hate your guts to your face. Simple...no evilness and misinterpretations for later on. (Not to be confused with thinking that I'm dramatic, I just don't understand fakeness...that's what I mean by this section. I don't understand how to be fake...or why someone would want to be fake).
I don't get why is America is so weird. Why is being male and skinny so bad? To the rest of the world I am about normal size, but to you here I am beyond too skinny? Should I be fat and tubby like the majority of the country just because it is in the majority? And why am I constantly actually trying to gain weight when I like being skinny? Just to please someone else's tastes about how a person should look? 6'3" 140lbs is way too small? 160lbs is still too small? I was happy at 140...happy at 160...but you still want 180+?? The heck is wrong with this country heh. Why if I'm happy with myself can the general country find it off? I mean if I was anorexic and sickly or binging and hurting myself that would be different, then I would be worried as well.
Why are big breasts so important to guys? I don't get it. Big breasts are annoying, they sag...Yay for A
Why does my sleep schedule suck so much...no actually I do get that one too...sigh. Off to sleep I go.
Disclaimer: The you's and someone's and people's I reffer to throughout this blog are not a generalization of the populace, but are directed at anyone it might apply to. So if it does not apply to you, then it is not directed at you. However the people who confuse me are probably in denial which is why they do such weird things without realizing, hence causing me much confusion in my life.
