I know, but funny thing is even though I'm Taiwanese and I'm fluent in speaking Mandarin, I can't do a good Chinese accent, plus Korean and Vietnamese inflections are a bit funnier... With Korean I do the whole "seyooOOOooh" and "nidaaAAAaaaa" ending.
Lol!

Ok, so I'm curious about something and you are pretty much an open book on this forum... How/ where did your parents meet? I've never heard of a Taiwanese/ Caucasian mix before.

What can I say, I'm a Sagittarius, we say what's on our mind no matter what lol... Us White/Asian mutts are a fairly common mix, but not that common... Then again I'm from SoCal where it's crazy diverse and I know at least 5-6 other White/Asian people, even 2 Latino/Asian.

My dad frequented a restaurant called Cindy's Corner (who interestingly enough, the owner eventually committed more to matchmaking 10 years later), and my mom was a waitress there... But she still often edifies my parents as her first customers of Cindy's Singles.

In fact, I'm not even as simple as "50% American 50% Taiwanese"... My mom was born on the boat ride escaping Cultural Revolution from Hunan, China (but the law says her place of birth is Taiwan, the next port of call), and my dad is more complicated than simply "American"... His mom is British, while his dad is Canadian, German and Polish... Plus hints of Italian, Irish, Scottish, Romanian and even Romani ("Gypsy") scattered about our genealogy.

Nefarious is... The most interesting man in the world in real life. "I always drink beer. So when I do, I prefer Weihenstephaner."

Ah, I see. There's lots of mixes here too, but I guess I don't know any Taiwanese people.

I yell stupid phrase(s) all the time.

Okay......
COnfession time.

I usually don't like gang stuff. Those stuff makes me wanna make fun of them till they cry.

About 3 weeks ago at 2am, I was fairly bored. So, I went out the front door at around 1AM and yelled out loud:
"SUP! TEAR DROP!!" (referring to tear drop tattoo on ppl's face)
"I AM GOING TO DROP YO ASS ON THE FLOOR! TEAR DROP!"

While I was about to close the door, I hear a loud laughing or crying sound from front of the house in front of ours. I was so shocked that someone was actually outside at this late. 10 seconds later, I hear a crying sound. I thought someone was trying to make fun of me, but found out it was a teenage girl (neighbor's daughter) crying and coming out of their house.

I quickly shut the door, and went in to the house. I thought she was crying because I said something about a tear (crying).

Approx 10minutes goes by, cops showed up.
I thought they came to my house for that noise, but found out it was little argument with teen daughter and parents issue from house in front.
Lesson of that morning: Never yell out loud at that late hours.

Gotta love 80's music... It's weird of how I used to dread how corny it sounded compared to rap, but now lots of mainstream rap sucks ass and I rarely even consider it anymore.

Come Sail Away is one of my bigger hits. I've also been known to do a few tunes from The Temptations. True story.

How far are you from Jackson? We have an Eaton plant over there I could probably "visit" for a week.

I'm in the city. I stay in Batesville sometimes for work (about 140mi north) and in Lucedale sometimes too (near the coast). So I can be wherever pretty much.

Great thread!

-When I have to drive far by myself, which is rare, I drive up to cars to find cute girls and serenade them, even if they have a guy in the car. I like seeing them blush.
-I play a lot of Dynasty and Samurai Warriors, so if I am bored without anything to keep me busy I imagine myself as a general in a battle and strategize tactics for battle, and usually end up participating in it.
-If there aren't a lot of people, if any at all, I do the opposite of what the general public does. Going the wrong way on an escalator and etc.
-I had this one job that I excelled a little too well in and left me bored. There was one day where I snuck into the huge garage where they housed their big rigs. The door was open, I excitedly got in and saw the keys in the ignition. The thrill has set in and the thought of driving a big rig even for a few feet made the adrenaline surge through me like a lightning bolt. I started it up, shifted into first gear and began slowly depressing the clutch and I felt the power of the engine when I applied pressure on the accelerator. Rolled it a few feet, blood rushing to my head, and then I realized I shouldn't linger lest anyone should catch me. I turned the behemoth off, hopped out and went back to my desk with a huge grin!

Try actually driving one (not in an encouraging way, just saying how much more complicated it is compared to a car)... They are slow, but kind of a thrill... My cheap-ass boss who didn't care about the law actually forced me to learn it but drive a Volvo VNL 300 unlicensed in a past delivery company when the usual A-License driver went to visit relatives, plus the occasional bobtail run (without trailer) to refuel after. At least you got it moving without stalling on the first try; those things operate almost radically different from a car (where you're not supposed to throttle from a stop since it has so much torque it'll ruin the transmission; glad it didn't break on you or anything... no synchro shifting, gear-splitting 10+ gears, etc.).
