Stanley Yang is a media artist at Scholastix Media. Here's a video reel in Shanghai. He¡¯s also an aspiring film maker (he moved to Shanghai working on Mission Impossible 3, The Mummy, and the like), and he will eventually begins shooting this movie right here. He¡¯s also just opened up Pho Yummy, a Vietnamese restaurant in Channel One.
So it¡¯s been said that villains are likable but hero¡¯s are difficult. If that truly was the case then it¡¯ll be just another typical weekend for me and my anal retentive team to mash away at our latest project. Right now we are trying to build fast food culture the way we would do in the west. Our job is actually quite simple. We nick pick, over-analyse and pay close attention to retarded details like facial movements and underarm hygiene. We would say things like, ¡°Can you try not to blink so much when taking orders, it sorta gives the customers the impression that there¡¯s caterpillar palp in the broth¡±. That particular trainee stormed out without asking for her pay. We later found out she had an uncontrollable blinking tic that developed when she was 12. We felt bad but life goes on.
But does it really? What's life if it's all work and no play, all rap and no jazz, all tsingdaos and no chivas? Maybe it is time to change my underwear, give them buckwheats a trim, and lay on the pomade. After all, I owe it to my Canadian roots (I didn't do diddly squat for Canada's day... ) to bar hop, get wasted and well...be nice.
FRIDAY
¡°it¡¯s Friday...you ain¡¯t got no job, you ain¡¯t got sh*t to do¡±
There¡¯s a Smokey in all of us. Too bad the grim reality is that we do got jobs and we do got stuff to do. But for today, I plan to set it on cruise, lay back... because it¡¯s summer, summer, summertime. So instead of the morning color palette stare downs we¡¯ll engage in a session of group meditation. We¡¯ll absorb the cosmic energies that govern our planetary system. We¡¯ll collectively connect with the ruling suns of mercury and the divine powers to be. We¡¯ll perform a unified chant of, ¡°My opponent only knows defeat and I will not deny him.¡± And over time all the little Warriors out there will soon know why iiiiiii aammmmmm HHHHEEEEERRRREEEEE. aaarrrggh!
Sorry about that. It¡¯s a damn shame what happened to Jim Hellwig. Ok, for lunch we can all go to this Taiwanese joint called Bellagio on Xikang Road. It's an oldie but goody. The red bean ice definitely helps with the sauna-like weather as of late. Friday night is a tough one. It's either I attend an invite to an alivenotdead.com chill-out meet at Racks. Or I check out one of the many Babyface, Richy, GPlus-type clubs, get obliterated, and start spitting my own version of Confucianism to random disenfranchised teens struggling with the rapid modernization of their home world. Good Times!
SATURDAY
¡°Mom always knows...¡±
Mommies visiting from Taiwan today. So hopefully my 5¡±5 44Kg girlfriend managed to piggy back me out of the club and get me home safe and sound. I totally forgot to pounce on the pasta at Bella Napoli over the course of the week. It¡¯s almost a guarantee that once she sees me with my hungover complexion, panda-like eye circles, and bronchitis cough, she¡¯ll equate that with my irregular eating habits. I keep telling her it¡¯s my elongated facial bone structure that gives it the allusion that I¡¯m skinny. But to no avail. I¡¯ll still get the ¡°you¡¯ve turned skinny, you¡¯re not eating enough¡± comment followed by a ¡°see you should be living at home so mommy can take good care of you¡± look. Then I¡¯ll lift up the same dirty shirt from yesterday, show her my man gut, then we¡¯ll both a share a moment of mother and son laughter. Next subject.
Despite my protest she¡¯ll insist on checking out the restaurant I¡¯ve been slaving over day and night over for the last couple of months. This is the shameless self-promotional bit for all who care to know: "PHO YUMMY 6/F, Channel 1 Mall". After engulfing some Vietnamese food for the 66th day in a row we¡¯ll go and check out a movie at UME. I'm excited that my little niece is coming as well. The last time I saw her she already knows how to say "jiu jiu" which means uncle in pu tong hua.
Hmm..but at times it also sounds like she's offering me "alcohol, alcohol".
Man, at 2 years old how the heck does she know about the "there's a drunk uncle in every family" saying. Kids these days they grow up damn quick.
SUNDAY
As a true conspiracy theorist and believer of Planet X, the Sumerians, pole shift theory, David Icke, and 2012, it¡¯s a rarity that I plan past the two day mark. Feed your brain peoples; the end is near.
