This introduction thing turned out to be harder than I thought. I’m not even going to attempt to be witty or eloquent in my writing - I’m just going to tell it as it is. I could hide behind the fact that I’m an engineer and my English isn’t all that great, but I think the majority of the contributors to this site could claim the same thing, and they are all far better writers than I.

As with most Asians in this country, I tend to be apolitical about most issues facing America (and the world) today. I’m very poorly versed in current events and I don’t particularly concern myself with them. I just found out who Terri Shiavo is. Doesn’t matter, my dinner’s getting cold.

So why exactly am I here? I would think a factor is nepotism, but perhaps there’s something ticking up there in that mass of fat that sits between my ears. Ha! Made-ya look.

When I’m not scoping out pretty girls or eating, there’s usually one question that’s running through my mind:

What the hell?

So that’s my purpose in life, to sit around and wonder why everybody gets up in a tizzle about certain events and why other events don’t push those buttons. I’m the buffoon you meet at a bar who spouts his whole supposed political opinion but doesn’t have a clue about the issues at hand. But you won’t find me at a bar - I don’t like the taste of ethanol.

If I can get you to think a little differently or to question your world then I’m glad. But you shouldn’t be. Everybody should be questioning the world around them, and if it takes some punk who eats too much sugar to get you to think, then you’re worse off than I am, and that’s pretty bad.

This may very well be the most random and convoluted introduction you’ll read out of any of the staff here, but get used to it. The world is random and convoluted, and so is my kitchen.
