AzN PrYdE, H1N1 Flu, and Lasik


To recap the week:
At work, I was trying to create my own Korea town here on the floor, uniting all the yellow faces to build some cultural lovin'. We actually had our group dinner on Monday (no, dog was not served for it was a Monday!).

Again, we are not trying to be exclusionary here but maybe it turned that way when I was walking out with my non-Asian co-worker and walked into the elevator full of my countrymen. I can neither confirm nor deny that I may have turned to this friend and got in his face a little and chanted, "Whatsup now? You are in K-town homeboy!" ...maybe that was not very loving or sensitive.

And then of course there was the swine flu...ahh sweet bacon's revenge: The timing of swine flu (apparently re-named "H1N1 flu," which is likely to be widely accepted as much as Prince's symbol moniker was) is unfortunate as Memphis in May (a BBQ event that I am going to) is upon us in a couple of weeks.

What is even more unfortunate is that the event that I am going to will be hosted by a BBQ team named 'Killer Hogs'. Please, please come to this event I have pleaded with my customers.

We will hand out SARS masks with pig snouts on them and an oversized CostCo tube of Purell that one can clutch for dear life.

Otherwise, one can disinfect the swine germs internally via some Jungle Juice made with 190 proof Everclear.

Meanwhile, my co-worker next to me got Lasik this week and when he came in and saw me, I can't help but think he was taken aback to see that I am much prettier than he could have ever imagined.

Have a good weekend!

  1. Maybe it was not very loving or sensitive but it sure as hell was funny. Maybe your friend was taken aback by the fact that you are Asian? I adore your blog.
