There and Back Again

Needless to say, after 6 years, I was quite surprised to find out that I still had this blog. I had completely forgotten that it existed. Imagine my surprise as I read my last post from 6 years ago. Suicidal embarrassment doesn't even begin to describe how I feel.

So I'm living in Houston now, suffering silently from the shame of having to live with your parents after college. This indigation is multiplied by the fact that I have no steady job and rely upon writing articles with no literary value for a living. I still can't believe people will pay me to write. The job sucks, but the concept is fantastic. I want a steady job and I want to move out, but a small part of me, the Chinese part no doubt, still believes it to be wrong to leave my mom to live alone while my dad is away.

I'm going to try out this Google AdSense thing to see how much money I can make. Please help me out and click on them.

I'll be leaving in about 4-5 months for China again. Very much looking forward to it. For now, I feel utterly alone in this city in which I've spent the past 15 years of my life. The city hasn't changed so much, perhaps it is I who have changed.

Wish I had someone I could go with to the National Poetry Slam in Austin this week.

Maybe I'll check out the Southmore House here in Houston since apparently that's the local watering hole for Spoken Word Artists.
