Charity Case

Well it's that time of year, okay, it's not really.  However I was listening to Preston and Steve this morning, and a thing came over me.  I think I want to grow my hair out for the locks of love case.  I really think that it's a great idea to do it.  Maybe grow my hair to 20 inches and then cut it off.  I feel like I grow my hair a lot faster than I think, and I'm pretty positive that it can do it as well.  Oh, well if I do decide to do it, it's going to be this year and today that I start growing my hair out.  Then again this may all just be a bunch of bull and me just making commotion to grow my hair.  I don't know.  I'm an idiot.

As I say this.  I do know what one charity that I will be working with.  #RTK.  It's back, and if you don't know what #RTK is, it's Run Team Kina.  Trying to figure out how I can make more money from last year.  Trying to achieve the charity status I did last year, I feel like I begged people last year.  I hate that feeling.  This year I'm trying to figure out a way to make money, and give people a good time as well.  Maybe a beef and beer?  I'm thinking along these lines.  It seems pretty smart really, however, is it cheap to do?  Or this time consuming and money consuming as well?  Dammit Meg.

So tomorrow is Posef's big day.  I'm pretty excited about that.  The fact that I get out of work early tomorrow, and then begin the process of celebrating with Po and co., well that just puts a smile on my face.   Mainly the fact that we get to play alcoholic games, and that my friends are pretty much the awesomest people on earth.  Buckets!  This is the fact, and the fact that I'm making some epic Kalbi for our BBQ.

You know, I've been wondering lately, what is this all for?  I don't know what it's all for, all I know is I just want a ton of it.  I want more than everyone else, and why do I want more than everyone else?  Because I'm one greedy motherfucker.  It's a simple known fact I guess.  I just have this notion, this chip on my shoulder.  I wanna stop worrying about shit that I need to get.  I don't want my family to worry about the shit they have to get.  I hate not having more.  I guess I want the world.  Scarface taught me a ton of terrible stuff.  Dammit Scarface.

I need a new car, and I think the STi is it.  I have to commit at this point.  Yeah, STi, you're it.

Meh...it is What it is

Soooo...a few days ago I wrote something on hipsters.  Namely the hipster chicks, and because of that my blog has blown up.  It really has become an infatuation hasn't it.  Yup it has, and now, my goal is to find a hipster chick and interview her.  I gotta hear her end, see the infatuation continues with them.  Come on Wednesday, Georgie is going to take me someplace special.  Times up, lets do this shit...

Anywhoo, this was a great weekend, I think my favorite part has to be the BBQ sampling this week.  And definitely voting for my favorites were awesome.  I'm a sucker for good BBQ, and some of these dishes were awesome.  We had one set of ribs that tasted very similar to my ribs.  This put a smile on my face, just knowing the simple fact that I can do something along the lines of these non-amateur cooks.  I can do this, I can become a great griller/chef/cook.  Whatever you want to call it, I can do it, I can put a combination of foods together.  I'm a foodie, and yeah, I love it.

Phillies status, not doing so good, however good win today.  I wish Cliff Lee can get a win.  However what are you going to do.  Fantasy is not going so swimmingly this year, but I'm still trying.  So we'll see what happens new year.  I feel like the Phillies this year, no matter how hard I try, the setbacks keep piling.  May have to call it in for this year, but still going to keep trying.  Still going to keep trying.

You know what's another infatuation of mine...cougars.  That's all I got.

Well, it's coming to that time, and well, I'm just plain old tired.  Night everyone, be good, and live life everyone.

That's my Last Meal?

Lately I've been writing pretty depressing things.  Between Kony and my need to have and want things, it looks pretty bleak on good old Wei's bloggy blog.  So tonight I'm writing a little something more uplifting and a little more happier.  What could I be writing about you ask?  Well honestly, the topic of the night is...last meals.  Hypothetical of course.  If you were on your life's end, what would you choose?  Check out the list below for my choices.  Just a forewarning, I have no favorites really.  These are just random, and honestly, it be very difficult for me to put these in order.  So no particular order, and the taste, well as you will see, it's very eclectic.

10. Steak Dinner

Look it's the dinner of choice for so many Americans, whether you have the porterhouse, a filet mignon, flank, skirt, strip, ribeye (my personal favorite).  Maybe with a side of potatoes and some veggies.  It is known to be one of the best dinners you will ever have.  Cook it up your favorite way, and you have one of the best meals ever.  I don't know what it is, but the visceral feel of cutting up your meat, and chewing it like a cave man, well it just makes you feel like a man.  And nothing beats a great steak than having a great drink with it.  I prefer a nice single malt scotch at this point.  Maybe a nice high ball glass of Glenfiddich aged 21 years to finish the meal.  Perfection, that's what I call a manly man's last meal.  Delicious.  

Look, if you can look at this and not get hungry, there's a problem with you, and if you're a vegetarian...sorry, but you're missing out on some tasty tasty murder.  Once again...sorry.

9.  Fried Chicken

I don't care who makes it, where it's made, or how it's made.  As long as I got a nice crispy bite from my first bite, and it's extremely savory, with a hint of love to it.  That last one was a joke, but it's really not.  Seriously, fried chicken is the most amazing meal ever.  And you add a side of mash potatoes, mac and cheese, cole slaw, a buttermilk biscuit, and an extra large sweet tea ice tea, you have yourself one nice finish to life.  Seriously, it's a great last meal.  I take it.  

Juicy in every bite, with a nice crispy skin...I want fried chicken now.  Jebus.

8. BBQ

I don't care what kind of barbecue I'm having, as long as it is finger licking good.  I love me a great set of ribs, an awesome cut of BBQ chicken, awesome slices of brisket and burnt ends, and lastly some tasty tasty pulled pork, or even whole hog.  You ever get that BBQ, and you taste that first bite, and it's just an amalgamation of savory, spicy, and sweet, with all that lovely carnivores flavors in your mouth.  It's nothing but an explosion of flavors.  How can I say no to this meal?  I can't that's why it's on the list.  Go out there and try to find the best BBQ possible, it'll be worth it.  Seriously.  

Nom, nom, nom...best part of the pig, cheeks.  Try it.

7. Dim Sum

I don't know why.  I really like dim sum.  I don't have it often, but when I do, I enjoy all the little intricate details behind it all.  Between serving tea to all your friends, talking and laughing, choosing the little mini dishes that roll around in the carts.  Freaking your friends out by eating chicken feet, taro cake, just thinking about it makes me want to have dim sum right now.  Oh man, and pork dumplings.  It's a nice last meal to reminisce about the life you had, talk to your closest family and friends, and just enjoy the time with each other.  

I know it's suppose to be a little at a time, however when I go to dim sum with Anthony, this is how the spread usually looks, but it always ends in a good time.

6. Sushi

Yeah, it's on here.  And I'm not talking about that Americanized version, where every roll is a specialty roll, by the way, that's good as well.  However, I'm talking about that whole Japanese real deal sushi experience.  Where it's just you and the sushi roller.  He chooses all your dishes, and you don't add soy sauce and wasabi.  You don't dilute the real sanctity of how sushi should really happen.  Instead, you enjoy the cleanliness of the fish and the soft melody of the rice and lingering flavors of the sauce that is included with a brush to add to the rice.  The intricate details of it all.  Oh yeah, that's how I wan't it to end.  

*Sigh*...now I want sushi.

5. Sandwiches

I come from Philly, and there are few important sandwiches that we make that I enjoy.  Between the pork sandwiches and the cheesesteaks that are created.  It's pretty amazing, and well, I don't just enjoy old school sandwiches, but I enjoy the newness and freshness that I haven't had all the sandwiches that I could.  Sandwich that I would really love to have, Katz's Deli pastrami sandwich.  Oh man, a $16 sandwich has to be worth it right?  Of course it does, of course it does.  

4. Gelato

Maybe as a desert, however I don't care.  Gelato is delicious.  Ten times better than regular ice cream.  Due to the lower fat content in the gelato, and the extra air taken out, it gets a creamier, and smoother texture and it's delicious.  I don't know, I had it last weekend, and it was great.  I just need an i.v. of it.  Oh man, I need to get some gelato now.  Why am I writing this at night?  I'm killing myself here.  

3. Pasta

I don't care what it is, how it is.  But pasta is the shit.  Whether it is in a blush sauce, alfredo, or pesto.  Pasta goes with anything.  I actually have a craving for gnocchi's, gnocchi's and alfredo sauce.  I don't know, I like the creamy cheese sauces.  However, nothing beats fresh pasta and a little marinara.  Oh man, dang...that would be an epic meal.  With a crusty Italian roll, and some olive oil.  Oh yeah.  That's how I want it all to end.  

2. Korean BBQ

It's not like regular BBQ, Korean BBQ is awesome.  It's different, BBQ with an Asian twist.  Soy sauces, and all those little mini appetizer dishes in the beginning.  Kalbi, bimbimbap, and bulgogi...all that good jazz.  I don't know what it is about it. It has some intricacies that you don't know until you try it.  I think I be satisfied if this was a last meal...yeah.  Definitely satisfied.  

1. Thanksgiving Dinner

Aaahhhhh yess...the last and greatest meal on earth would be the epic family Thanksgiving dinner.  And I don't mean just the bird.  I want it all.  Turkey, stuffing, casseroles, ham, sides, everything.  I don't know what it is about this meal.  However it's my favorite one throughout the year.  I just love love love Thanksgiving dinner.  I like it even better than Chinese New Year dinner.  So if I were to die in a few days, and I had to choose my last me, Thanksgiving is it.  

I make a mean turkey
