Search Bird

The book is a bird and it flew from my hand
I want us to compare like the mythic anonymities of cyberspace
Where the starburst case scenario with a sweet center
Is the reach of real to virtual, red fingered twice
My window to you is an adolescent verse
Pining for the tree it would reach the moon
Where the progression of narrative tricks
And I want you to page from last word to ready
So the turn could crash all the characters between
And by between I mean the constellation
The word of mouth and its distance
My romance by degree of its style and definition
Is an adolescent verse because I offer the vessel
As if to say my heart is the mirror of your body
As if to say your heart and my body are destined
Will there ever be enough romance for our plan
To begin and end like some wonder in history
In order for our future selves to learn and discover
The road to Rome will last a computer’s eternity
In our hearts, destiny will see itself and see the beauty
Then the beauty will shatter and all we’ll have is truth
As if to say the vessel and its position in the code
Is home to disappear inside our hands to rest
My hold for you is an adolescent verse
To kiss by the book is to hide in the library
And dedicate myself to surprise your bite
Since the apple of my eye is delicious to your lyric
There a refrain would prevail somebody’s turn
To possess with dream and nothing more
To love its casualties and nothing less
I have you in my mind and its close to my heart
My adolescence is a part of spring
It said the verse was a part of everything
Blind as a bat who believes the inferno
Symbolic as a dove eclipsing with rhyme
To double the strength of the thing
How I wish the virtual shore would repeat
To plead against the world from its stage analogy
Because Elvis left the building and the roof is on fire
Phases penetrate each act and the circle
Could only encapsulate the basic shape of a letter C
So let it be letters instead of players
Then looks could kill with the repertoire
For wisdom other than filling a line
Did not the bard himself time the whole duration
In a single draft beyond the harvest of words
So let it be known the stage returned to the book
And it will be studied by a classroom of scanners
Part of the myth will be in the desert
Part of the desert will be in the system
It will be a crash to remember

I know the story is dead and the chances of the famous group reuniting are probably slim. I love B, you can’t hate on her because she is doing her thing and doing it well. But I can’t get over how funny this parody from Mad TV is…
Angel: One of the Best Spin-Offs

There are very few spin offs that I find successful or at least interesting. Yes, CSI and Law & Order are probably one of the most successful spin offs, all thanks to the writers producing interesting murder cases and trials, and less to do with the characters.
Than, there are certain spin offs that should have stayed within their original show and died with it on a high note. Joey? WTF, Yes Friends was a funny show and most of us loved the Joey Tribbiani character, but after 10 seasons of Friends we kind got tired of the characters, I don’t’ know what NBC was thinking to think that they can add something new to ‘Joey’. Unfortunately the spin off series lasted for two seasons.
There are other horrible spin offs that I can list, but this post is to focus on one spin off series that I thought was well done and deserves recognition.
That series would have to be Angel, from the creators of ‘Buffy: The Vampire Slayer’ I loved the Buffy series with Sarah Michelle Gellar. I thought Joss Whedon did a great job taking the hit movie into a seven season series. It had witty humor, intricate story lines, great characters and amazing visual effects.
Angel is the 240 year old vampire cursed with a soul. He first appeared on the pilot episode of Buffy. He was the mysterious, dark and handsome character who falls in love with the Slayer. His relationship with Buffy was the ultimate forbidden love.
After three seasons of being on Buffy, the creators decided to do a spin off on the character ‘Angel’. When I first heard this, I thought the series would bomb, because Buffy fans liked the idea of the Vampire and Slayer relationship. But when the pilot launched, I was quiet surprised.
The pilot episode showed a more mature side to the series. The setting takes place in Los Angeles, where detectives and lawyers are part of the mixed. I also found the visual transition from scene to scene interesting and a new take from the teen series Buffy. Clearly Angel was not only trying to keep its current fans of Buffy, but it was also trying to attract new ones.
What I found made this spin off successful, was also the characters transition from Buffy to Angel. Joining Angel was the character Cordillia Chase, played by Charisma Carpenter. She was Sunny Dale’s ‘IT’ girl, but after losing everything back home, she decided to pursue acting career in L.A. only to join Angel in setting up the Angel investigation firm.
Throughout the first season of Angel, there will be guest appearance from the original series. Spike, Oz, Faith and Buffy herself make a guest appearance, another familiar face joins the show later on in the season. I think this made the spin off really successful. How the series of Buffy and Angel were closely tied and connected with each-other. How the character transition was believable and well thought off.
Anyway, this entry needs to end now; I just wanted to share how much I love the show Buffy and Angel. A friend of mine got me the complete limited box edition of Buffy, which motivated me to buy the complete limited edition box set of Angel. Hehehe….
Asian Talent on The Rise

The time has come and finally the entertainment industry recognizes that ‘Asians’ are talented and have a place in the billion dollar industry that has been dominated by whites and blacks.
Jabbawockeez won the $100,000 grand prize and the title of America’s Best Dance Crew, beating out Status Quo and other talented crews all across America.
As an Asian, I feel so proud that the world got to see that we are a talented group of people. Typically, Asians are only seen on TV or Movies if the role requires you to do some type of martial arts move. Times are changing -
In the last couple of years, I’ve notice a shift and recognition by the entertainment industry in regards to how Asians are viewed. Last year, Melissa Reyes and Asia, competed in the CW reality show ‘The Search for the Doll’, where both girls receive great reviews and became the last two standing, Asia ultimately was crowned the winner. Melissa’s nationality is Filipino, while Asia was half Filipino and half black.
Earlier this year we also saw another Asian, Mariel make the finals in the ABC special Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann. Ramiele Malubay is also another Asian talent on the rise. She is currently in the final 9 of the hottest show in America, American Idol.
So as the year goes on, I am excited and anxious to see more Asians continue to make its mark in the entertainment industry, to ride the wave of recent success, and remove all stereo types that the media has poured on us. I have a dream, that one day an Asian music artist will win a Grammy.
Here is a video of Jabbawockeez performing on Regis and Kelly…

I must of been one of the last people to hear that Heath Ledger past away. Like most people who were either fans of him or not, I was shocked to hear the news of the 28 year old Australian native actor.
I first seen Heath Ledger on the 1999 romantic teen comedy ’10 Things I Hate About You’, a modern day remake of the Shakespare play “The Taming of the Shrew”. It also stars, Julia Stiles and Gabrielle Union.
Heath Ledger’s acting career was really taking off after his Oscar nominated role in Brokeback Mountain. One of his latest film, that is yet to be released is the new Batman movie with Christian Bale called ‘The Dark Knight’, where he plays the Joker.
