I'll always remember the moments:
when I discovered I wasn't white (1998)
I realized most African Americans descended from slaves (2002)
I learned what Juneteenth was (2020)
A privledged youth followed by waking up as an adult is the wrong order of events.
While walking into yoga class yesterday, late and dressed in my normal Hochi-attire,
i was stopped by a passerby who asked, “are you the yoga teacher?”
I having trouble deciding if this is a good or bad indicator of my current vibes.

The lady was excited to see Steph hit a 3
I was excited to see that bald dude from selling Selling Sunset sitting courtside.
we’ve done it. unification complete!
things that masks are useful for:
1. picking up your dog’s poop
2. not having to say hello to people you recognize, but they don’t see you bc the mask
3. preventing the spread of a deadly pandemic
if none of the above apply to you, you’re probably super cool so no worries
Me:
“If they don’t do it, Shang-Chi is a failure as a movie”
**Shang-Chi takes off his shoes before entering a home**
Me, teary eyed and now clapping in theater:
“. . . He did it, the son of a bitch did it!”
there seems to be a direct relation between:
(1) the number of maskless people i see, and
(2) the number of people i think i recognize.
it’s either that, or i’m just way ahead of the curve on thinking everyone looks like my nephew.
on today’s episode of “I’m becoming my parents”:
i just filled a 25 lb container full of rice and put it the garage for safe keeping.
stay tuned for next weeks episode, titled “I don’t care how hot it is, turn the damn AC off, the energy bill is too high”.
i have never read self-help’ or ‘self- improvement’ books,
but i have read ‘The Alchemist’ by Paul Coelho multiple times, and that’s got to count for something.
can someone please send guide to:
“how to look professional while growing your hair out, and your hair is firmly in the awkward phase, and should remain in said awkward phase for about next 6 months”
asking for a friend, pls and thanks.
I once saw DJ AM at Hard Haunted Mansion
He was wearing a Daft Punk helmet and playing Daft Punk songs
My silly ass for more than a fleeting moment thought that i was watching Daft Punk
I’m still very, very okay with that.
My Twitter timeline is a lot of:
A) basketball chats and news
B) political talking heads and general headache inducing news
it’s funny that sometimes i confuse the two...
“Oh snap! AOC has something to say about the Harden trade? Oh nvm... “
Finally watched Spirited Away(2001), and couldn’t shake the ATLA (2005) spirit world vibes.
Reminds me to looks for inspiration and influences from contemporaries...
feel like i often only look to the past for guidance in the future, when in reality we all in this together ✊🏾
When I was 8, on the last day of Xmas break, my mom took me to see ‘Seven Years in Tibet’ in theaters, and i felt it was a waste.
Now, 23 years later, I am learning to play ‘I’m a Barbie Girl’ on guitar on my last day of break.
I’m gonna ahead and say you win this one, mom!
I’ll admit i have no business having opinions like:
“UGH, this [digital thing] has a terrible UI”
Mainly because i have no experience in UX/UI design
This being said, i can only imagine the dark worlds in which those designers must stumble through on the daily. #hochithoughts
They have machines that learn who you are, track your movements, target you for ads on various devices and predict what you’ll order next...
But they still think that when i type ‘lulz’ i really mean ‘Lulu’
pick up soccer for the 1st time in 8 months; was so happy to see some things never change:
Chatty Brit who actually isn’t that good
Fat Guy with surprising touch
‘THAT GUY’ (iykyk)
Both calves locking up on me before i was done playing
And being so sore i feel hung over
rather than ‘smh’ or ‘smdh’ i’d like to propose a new term that implies a bit more mirth and increduality:
‘rtttttd’ for ‘reaction to that thing that Trump did’
seems like a bit appliction for the simultaneous laughter and tears that White House news tends to produce.
1. bowl cut/middle part
2. bleached blonde hair/tips
3. product in the hair everyday, like it’s your job
4. facial hair + grown out man bun and/or pony tail
if you’ve hit 3 out of 4 of the above, you may be an Asian American male.
if you hadn’t realized it yet, welcome!
