The Idiosyncratic Pragmatic
http://thegreatopenbook.blogspot.com/2007/10/i-feel-like-i-need-to-travel-world.html
Sunday, October 7, 2007. I feel like I need to travel the world. See the world's poor and feel compassion again. These days, I can't keep other people in my mind for more than a couple of hours. I do the motions, joining groups, being interested in books, but none of this sets me on fire. I feel like I need to recentre myself, such as structure the way I am, my identity - to see what I'd like to achieve for the future. I watched "Shake Hands with the Devil". And that the people to respond will not respond.

The Idiosyncratic Pragmatic: Deliberately insensitive
http://thegreatopenbook.blogspot.com/2007/08/deliberately-insensitive.html
Saturday, August 4, 2007. There seems to be growing numbers of those who pride themselves to be unfeeling and callous. I am currently recoiling from my unnerving experience yesterday. I was prepared to work with boring people, the politically incorrect, etc. But nothing could have prepared me for my partner. I tried to ask him what major he was in. And then he hostilely responded "why do I always have to answer these awkward questions during walksafe shifts? I don't even know you". And he said "ya, someo...

The Idiosyncratic Pragmatic: Fathers
http://thegreatopenbook.blogspot.com/2007/08/fathers.html
Saturday, August 25, 2007. But in the end, our relationship with our parents have a HUGE influence into how we see the world. Is our world a positive and encouraging place? Can I get help from the world when I need it? Do people really care about me no matter what I do? Can I really trust people? How I want him to openly express all this without. fear and insecurity. How I wish he'd be more forceful more like those fathers in the movies, or at least the father of my friends. And he watched his father rui...

The Idiosyncratic Pragmatic: June 2007
http://thegreatopenbook.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 30, 2007. Don't cry for me South Korea. I've become quite cynical of the Korean-Canadian community at the moment. When I think of them, I can't help but associate them with having worst of both worlds. If Koreans are known to be one-track minded yet ambitious, while Canada is more open-minded yet middling - Korean Canadians seem to have be doomed with mediocrity because of its myopia. Little do they know about the history of Korea or Canada. There can be a good side, I guess you can say th...

The Idiosyncratic Pragmatic: Some say it's a gift... no, it's a curse!
http://thegreatopenbook.blogspot.com/2007/08/some-say-its-gift-no-its-curse.html
Thursday, August 30, 2007. Some say it's a gift. no, it's a curse! So I'm really good at determining - from your behaviour - your family circumstances. Within minutes of meeting people I'll start saying:. Hey, by chance, are you a youngest child? Um, is there any way that your parents came to Canada at a young age? I make these 'educated' guesses based on people I knew before - and take into consideration things like the way they speak (HUGE) and gesture, and just the overall aura of a person. So though ...
