Hey.
I'm going start writing these journal entries bi-weekly starting whenever I put out this first entry until whenever I start school. It'll primary feature random thoughts I have about various topics, what I'm up to, small snippets of conversations I have with people and possibly photos I take. idk. Whatever feeds me. I just want to put this all out there. Even if I don't always put out work every day, I'm going to make sure to put this out every week.

Christmas is coming up, which is cool. It's a really calming time of the year, it's when I get the most time to just think about life, which in turns puts me in an off mood a lot of time.
My cousins, siblings and I are having a Secret Santa exchange this year. We were suppose to make a wishlist and put it out, but I left mine blank. It's not that I don't want anything, I buy a bunch of stuff if I had the money, it's more that I don't like the idea of asking someone to buy you something. It's partly the reason I don't like borrowing money from people either, I feel like I'm cheating them out in a way. They shouldn't have shower me in gifts in order to show affection, I should be able to know that by their behavior.
I love the atmosphere of Christmas; I hate how it's been exploited for monetary gain. Gifts shouldn't be necessary.

I don't know if I believe in God, but I believe in myself.
I don't pray, instead I create.
I'm trying way too hard to sound cool..........

While studying about a Mandarin test:
FRIEND: Wow, Dylan, you suck at Mandarin, the only Asian thing about you is how you look and even then, <NAME REMOVED, DANISH GIRL> has you beat.
I shrug it off.
On facebook:
FRIEND: You're just jealous because when I'm high, I look more Asian than you.
During class:
I'm talking to the girl whose sitting next to me, I have my laptop out.
GIRL: Are you Chinese?
ME: Yeah. People always think I'm Japanese though 'cause of my last name.
GIRL: But it's not even Japanese, they don't know shit.
ME: It's because of this guy.
I search up a picture of Seto Kaiba on google. We both laugh.
GIRL: I thought you were Japanese...I was hesitating. Or Viet.
Me: Are you viet?
GIRL: [laughing] No, do I look viet?
Me: I don't know, we all look the same. [chuckles]
GIRL: [laughs]
ME: The only ones I could kinda tell are Koreans.
GIRL: What about them? The eyes?
ME: I don't know, something about the face.
GIRL: [laughing] You're so racist.
Race is a weird thing that simultaneously connects us and pull us away from each other. Race is man-made but we made it real.
I believe in equality but I also believe in having pride for your ethnicity. Wear your skin like the fuckin' king that you are.
I still believe in government. I still believe in control. I don't agree with power/money hungry politicians. Ideally, we wouldn't need authority but we don't live in an ideal world. We need authority to keep us in line. Communism doesn't work. Anarchy doesn't work. Someone will always rise above everyone else as a leader. What we need is a fair system that's run by the people. For the people.
We don't have that.
We have billionaires trying to become trillionaires. $$$$$$$

I started writing a sitcom pilot, I don't know when I'll be finished. I came up with a rough premise and some research material. It's about music. I want to make this perfect. I want to make it to be about finding yourself. I want it to be personal.
To watch list:
-Boyz N The Hood
-Parents of the Band
-The Rocker
-High Fidelity
-This Is Spinal Tap
Besides that, I'm doing something where I have to listen one new album (music) per day in order to keep my creativity flowing.
