The thin line between heaven and hell is somewhere on earth. Where that line starts and ends can be trace to the nights and days.

Life is like the ocean, calm one day and stormy the next. The trick to staying sane is riding out the waves. Everyone gets the same currents, how you react to them determines your world.

Two weeks ago, I was reduced to drinking and cussing. Fortunately, it was done in the confines of my apartment. After the clouds passed, the outlook wasn't so awful.

A week ago, the casting director in my office asked me to read for one of the parts for their new movie. That was nice.

Three days later, the assistant in the office passed my headshots to her friend, an agent, and next Wednesday, I have a meeting with the agent. Okay, pretty good.

This pass weekend, the play I'm working on, was sold out Saturday and Sunday. Cool beans. Cool beans.

As cool as butter life seems like right now, most likely, another breakdown will hit and kick my ass. There's too much stress and too little time for relief of stress.

For all of you people out there with all work and no play mentality, you're going to burn yourself out. There has to be a balance in your life.

1/3 of work, 1/3 of play and 1/3 of helping others is the balance you have to achieve. Too much or too little will cause you to run out of control. Hear me now, understand it tomorrow and believe me next week, what I preach is the truth.

The most important part of that equation is love. You have to have love in your life; either with your family or that special someone. Now I'm not talking about that Hollywood true love crap, but someone there to lean on.

That's all you need. Some cuddling and kissing would be nice but that's icing on the cake. If she's good looking, count your blessings.

As for me, there's no one to call my own. Don't feel bad for me. No one can be blamed except me. I choose my career over love. Yes, I preach the 3 1/3s but the career is too important at this time to deal with anything else. Having that someone would take time away from the work.


Speaking of dating and love

What do you folks out there think about interracial dating? Are you for or against or do you folks even care?

I have no problems with interracial dating. Love is blind as far as I can see. The problem I have stems from someone only dating one race and one race only.

You've all seen the beautiful Asian girl or guy only dating that white guy or girl. They only date outside of their race. Why?

Are they ashamed of their own race? Do they find the Asian opposite sex inferior and unattractive? That's F##K UP!

Yes it is. Look in the damn mirror. If you're Asian and you never date Asians, you need therapy; lots and lots of therapy to fix that whacked out head of yours.


Ponder this for a moment

We date whomever we like. We date people similar to us in wealth, looks and intelligent. We date the female or male versions of ourselves. Well, if all you date is someone outside of your race and you're Asian - you've got problems.

No matter how much you screw that white chick or dude, you will ALWAYS be Asian, deal with it.

Just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Until next time...
