		<description><![CDATA[For you younger generation of Asian-Americans, you may have been too young to remember Jin. Not that Jin's disappeared -- but for a solid 4-6 months, much of us 80s babies were witnessing the potential rise of an Asian rapper.

Jin took BET's freestyle friday by storm and impressed the hip hop community enough that he ended up inking a deal with DMX's label, Ruff Ryder Records. At his height, Jin even landed a small supporting role in the second Fast and the Furious installment.

Lately, Jin's been doing smaller tours and appearances, but I was pleasantly surprised to find this random freestyle he posted onto youtube hanging out with Traphik.

The boy can spit :-)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Finally, an entertaining chain Facebook status movement has managed to grab my attention. Instead of the usual "support-this-cause-that-only-assholes-would-be-against" and the random spam (thanks a lot Mob Wars) I usually find on my friend feed, this week is:

    Doppelgänger week on Facebook; change your profile picture to some one famous (actor, musician, athlete, etc.) you have been told you look like. After you update your profile with your twin or switched at birth photo then cut/paste this to your status.

To see who my friends think they look like has been a real delight. Of course the self-annointed resemblances ranges from the eerily similar to totally self-flattering variety, I noticed that very few of my Asian friends are partaking in the fun.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once again, I had another personal ailment cured by some crazy Chinese remedy.

Every year, I develop a nasty cough in the Winter months. Last year, my cough was so bad that I couldn't even sleep without coughing my lungs out and waking up throughout the night. While hesitant to run home and tell mommy where it hurts, like most inquisitive mothers, my mom found out about my chronic cough soon enough.

Naturally, my mom gave me the most ridiculous cough syrup for me to try.]]></description>

But the creative spirit and urge to write is back in me and I feel the holy blogger spirit flowing through my fingers.

I've been extremely busy these days with my professional life. But to show you all that I'm back and that I mean it, I've grabbed this spiffy new design over from Wordpress.

But there&#8217;s something going on with this summer&#8217;s lineup. This summer perhaps features the most Asian American actors and characters from any lineup before. Pixar&#8217;s Up, Terminator Salvation, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Star Trek, and G.I. Joe to name [...]]]></description>
