Restrictions on 1st Amendment
Dear Loyal Blogging Readers/Subscribers of Asian:
I learned what it feels like to not be able to look at blogging websites. It really does suck – stupid communist countries. I thought I wouldn’t post but I’m really bored (note: I’m writing this post on a Word document so I can go publish it once I get to free speech territory – Korea).
Anyways, my vacation has been actually worse than I had imagined. Don’t get me wrong – Thailand was unbelievable: who would’ve thought I would actually dive into a 50 feet waterfall? Phuket/Ko Phi Phi is better than advertised.
The real reason why I’m down – I think I’m slowly learning that I’m not as anti-social and introspective as I had once thought I was. I thought I’d love being alone – to be honest, I was actually lonely the past few days. If it wasn’t for Lucy that I could bother online, I would’ve been in boredom hell. I always tell people – there’s a reason that there’s 250 billion people in this world. It’s so that you don’t have to go through “life” all by yourself. I tell people that, yet I always thought that I’d be better off alone. I always thought that I could run away from my problems – but clearly, I can’t.
All in all, I think this vacation itself was needed for me. I realized that I don’t ever want to be alone. It’s funny because I put up this front of me being this macho douchebag, but I realize that this isn’t true (at least the macho part). I try to front like I’m the most down to earth guy that doesn’t give a shit, but in reality, I actually am probably the most paranoid person known to mankind. I try to act like I don’t care what others think of me as, but I’m the most insecure bastard I know of. All for one question: why the fuck am I so retarded?
My response is this: I’ve been raised like this since I was born. I don’t want to use a scapegoat. I really don’t. But I’ve been embedded throughout my entire life to serve my parents, to serve those that I care about. The idea of me doing what I want over the good of the family never crossed into my mind. If anything, that thought crossed my mind about 1.5 years ago when I vowed to myself that I would never let my parents have a say in who I will marry.
I also realized during this vacation that I’m a needy bastard. I realized that I love the few friends I have. I realized that there are certain things I can’t pack away in my life. I know this sounds really melodramatic, gay, faggoty and retarded – but my last night in Thailand (minus the time chatting with Lucy), I sat on the back porch and just started thinking about what events happened in my short-lived life that has brought me to my exact moment here. Right now.
I’m an adamant believer that everything happens for a reason, and I started looking at the shit that’s happened in the past, and I started dissecting it one by one. And it’s really funny because I could probably justify every shit that has happened to me for the better – even those that I would think was completely dicking me over (See, e.g., Me getting sent to Marines Boot Camp at the tender age of 15).
A few random thoughts:
* Grades came out. Good news is that I’m currently on pace to become a 3L. Bad news – not a single fucking “A” (granted, only 2 grades came out yet) so far to show for more “hard” work I put in this semester.
* Before I left, I spent 14 hours of my last 72 hours in the U.S. talking to Lucy. It’s been a while since I actually used my phone. It’s actually been a REALLY long time. Thank you Lucy for everything. But you already know this so I don’t need to go in-depth bout this now, do I? :]
* NBA Playoffs – Can’t get in touch with it because they don’t televise big black men groping each other in Asia unfortunately.
* May 23rd – AC Milan v. Liverpool. This is gonna be GOOOOOODDDD.
* My mom is trying to pretty me up when I go to Korea – this entails me getting shots injected into my face so I lose the fat in my cheeks + getting lasered up on my face to remove the shit pimples on my forehead. Apparently, weighing 156 at the height of 5’7’’ is considered obese as well in Asia. I now am trying to shoot to weigh no more than 150 by the end of this summer. Perhaps me being Asian itself is what drives me in becoming much of a self-insecure bastard itself. Fucking Asians.
Hope all you guys are enjoying your summer (besides those that graduated and are studying for the Bar). I promise this will be my last post until June 1st. I promise I promise - UNLESS I need to post something that I feel is necessary to share with this world.
With Regards,
ALS.
Edit: Boy does it feel to be back home in 2 years. I still have my bedroom (well minus all the photo albums and the golf clubs that are stuffed here).

Need Wings?
*Scene: Studying in Journal Office for ConLaw tomorrow. Both of us are sleep deprived - him because of studying, me because I've been personally distrctacted [cough cough] for the past few days*
Friend: *staring at redbull. drinks the rest of the redbull. proceeds to throw it in garbage can. looks at me and sighs*.
Me: ??
Friend: I'm still not getting wings yet... *sighs once more*
Conclusion: To the contrary, I think studying intensively makes people inversely more retarded.

I didn't think I could ever be a Constitutional Liberalist.
Until.. I was doing a wrap up of today's studying by reading my professor's article on 1st Amendment Protection, and realized just how awesome this country is. I was astonished. And I felt dumb - I hate that feeling. Incredibly well written. I especially love the last sentences ending with Holmes' quote.
*****
The antimajority rhetoric is so central to the process of political mobilization that we cannot allow the Government - in an effort to protect the minority - to pass laws that would criminalize words of this kind, which often amount to "group defamation" of the dominant racial and gender groups...
If we are involved in public discussion of even the most hateful kind, the way to deal with it is by more speech. We must develop our analytical and debating skills and resist the impulse simply to squash speakers with whom we disagree by invoking the criminal law, a response that can only add to the stupidity of "inert public"...
Do we not gain by responding and exposing the lies behind each hateful speech? are we not indicating our impotence to deal with the words directly if we give up and rely on the criminal law to deal with prejudice?...
Perhaps I am naive in still believing in Holmes. Yet I am convinced that their words still express the ideal that our institutions should follow - let truth and falsehood grapple; who ever saw truth bested in a free and open encounter?'

At Least I Know Something From Con Law
*in response to my msn personal message which says, "
Some people say the inkling to be a lawyer starts at conception and is really a genetic defect."*.
Note: if you didn't take ConLaw yet, this post will not be of any entertainment value to you.
Jew Friend (herein referred to as "Joo"): well i am certain that you have a genetic defect, although i am unsure if it is attributable towards your desire to be a lawyer
Me: the genetic defect = asian?
Joo: that's certainly a good guess
Me: but the genetic disaster = jew
Me: id rather be defected than disastrous
Joo: yes, but a defect is a disadvantage, disasters intimidate and control
Joo: while the former are given handicap spots and the like
Me: youre aware that disasters are the origin of catastrophic results
Me: i.e. you
Me: right?
Joo: although i agree with your general premise, not all disasters end with catastrophic results, see generally korematsu
Joo: that's my new name by the way
Joo: i've filed papers for a legal name change
Joo: hello, I'm Korematsu [Joo Last Name], nice to meet you
Me: HAHAHHA YOU FUCKER
