Diary of a Neurotic Asian Man

| | 0 comments
I'm backkkkk!!!  You've missed me haven't you?  Sorry for not blogging in a while - truth is, once people started telling me they actually read this dumb blog, I became too self-conscious to write.  I'm shy!



Although I've always have had a love/hate relationship with journaling/blogging (like whiskey dick, it's hard to keep it up :/), I've been trying to get back to doing more active self-reflection again.

Recently, I decided to go back and read my old entries. Oh boy are some of them unintentionally hilarious, while others are interesting windows into my beautiful, genius mind.  Here...I'll share some snippets, one from each age starting from when I was 18.  For extra gravity/hilarity, imagine my voice while reading.

Nov. 20th, 2008 - 18 years old
"When will my life get extraordinary? I'm sure this is a question many people ask themselves, including me. But the real thought is that, what does it mean to have an extraordinary life? I guess the first idea that pops into my head is 'a great adventure and an even greater love.'"
ed. note: LOLZ...watch as this romantic idealism slowly shrivels and dies

Dec. 1st, 2008  - 19 years old
"I'm 19!!!! yay? hahaha...My imaginary blow out candles wish? To meet someone by next year, hahaha. I don't necessary want some kind of relationship, just that feeling, for once."
ed. note: HAHAHA...who am I laughing at? also...that "feeling" LOLZ x 2

June 9, 2010 - 20 years old 
"I used to have (and maybe still do) strict beliefs on cheating.  If someone were to cheat on me, that would be a complete deal breaker: no second chances, no forgiveness, no lingering relationships.  But as I have learned, cheating is not a deal breaker for everyone.  And although I have spoken like I’m on some superior higher moral ground, who knows, maybe it will be me that slips up and cheat…humans make mistakes and I can’t say that I’m not human."
ed. note: Woahh...20 year old me got deep

March 30, 2011 - 21 years old
"What I really mean:
haha/lol - conversation filler
hahahaha/LOL/lololol - that was actually funny
:P - I’m playful
:3 - My face literally looks like a cat/I want to fuck you."
ed. note:  :3 :3 :3

February 14, 2012 - 22 years old
"Roommate Shmeric: What do think about 'Someone Like You?'
Alex: I like the song, but it is pretty dumb.  Why would you want someone like the person who dumped you and moved on and has a better life? I would want someone that is opposite if anything to spite the person before.  The song is so needy, ugh, just as bad as when Jennifer Hudson sang 'And I’m Telling You' from Dreamgirls.
Roommate Shmeric:…you would think that."
ed. note: This is still true, who disagrees with me?!

July 11, 2013 - 23 years old 
"And while you’re young, you get to spend a few fruitless years hanging on to sad romanticism and hold out for a Mr. Darcy I guess.  At least for a few more years right?  Because we all know that your (social & love) life is dead when you hit 26 and you should be literally be holding on for dear life anyone foolishly enough to be around your vicinity to prevent ending up miserably single forever."
ed. note: I'm turning 27 in December

July 12, 2014 - 24 years old
"Let’s say you were dating two people.  One person is passionate, emotional, wears heart on sleeve, lives life through feelings.  The other: stoic, emotionally reserved, doesn’t articulate feelings, lives life through logic.  Now one day, both people turned to you.  The first person exclaims, “I love you! I love you!”  While the second person quietly whispers, “I…love you…”  Now the questions are…1) Are both declarations “worth” the same? 2) Is one more meaningful than the other? 3) Can you trust one declaration more over the other?"
ed. note: The answer is...why are you dating 2 people at the same time you ho?!

September 12, 2015 - 25 years old
[Reflecting on my recent move abroad] "This journey is of my own...I will have to take an active approach to my personal development, don’t think it will just come."
ed. note: Wow 25...much deep...such wise...many amaze

There you go, a sneak peak into the mind of a tortured, complicated soul who deep down inside is just looking for a great adventure and an even greater...love (barf...but also :3).
