If you find this blog title offensive that is because it was meant to be. Just as Dave Chappelle used an audio byte of Donnell Rawlins screaming “I’m rich, bitch” I want to make a proclamation about a different subject — one that has perplexed me for some years now. If you are like me then…

City of Angels
In one of my previous blog entries I wrote: “And there isn’t really a strong fear of being shot …. near the ‘Jungles’ anymore.” Oh what a long way from the truth that statement was. I made that statement after making a cursory inspection of my neighborhood after returning to Los Angeles from Seoul about one month…
Home Ec 101
Over a week ago my sister and her family visited me. We spent some time together in Korea and then Japan. I had decided before their arrival to end my adventure in Korea and return home with them. And now we are all in Los Angeles. I have been adjusting to my temporary living arrangements, i.e., back…
Hollywood Sign
I wanted to add a notch to my achievement belt. Hiking to the seemingly elusive Hollywood sign would do the trick. From the front porch of my mom and dad’s home I could see the sign. It teased me. I had flown across the Pacific Ocean, but I hadn’t ventured very far in my hometown….
Numbers Spook Me
I have this thing I do. I have noticed it ever since my birthday last year. Perhaps it occurred in the past but it was less noticeable. These days I see it happening often. I check my watch at 10:09. I see the price of goods marked 10.99. I bought a meal and my total…
To The Rescue
After thought: As I write this I am dreaming of making promotional videos to improve the public relations this restaurant has destroyed recently. Cut to me eating sushi and saying “oishi” which means delicious in Japanese. Or I might even do the video all in Korean saying “if you want to have a pleasant experience…
Culver City
I miss living and working here. Although I did not have the time to enjoy this place the way I am today when I lived here a decade ago. If I return to America for good this is one place I would strongly consider living. So I hit the street in search of a job…
Panos of China and America
Here are three panorama photos I took in Beijing and Los Angeles.

12 As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and a thick and dreadful darkness came over him. 13 Then the Lord said to him, “Know for certain that for four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved and mistreated…
My Mom Remembers Her Sister, My Aunt
I have been watching many videos of my sister, Flo Jo, on Facebook tonight. Watching them makes me feel her presence. I recall the good times with her. When she was alive, I could not watch her run on t.v. I was instead of watching her, running through the house screaming. I was asking what…
