Pretty auspicious. Look forward to continuing our discussions. Glad you are back — funny coincidence I am back too, you beat me too it by a couple days.

So key for us to be aware, and I love how you link this to adding in the Buddha -- really true. Thanks Man - - I cannot believe I've been out of touch this long.

So glad to see you still blogging, loved the post today. So key for us to be aware, and I love how you link this to adding in the Buddha — really true.

Thanks Man – - I cannot believe I’ve been out of touch this long.

Hope to keep in communication now that I am back on WordPress.

So the phrase should read: "upload those posts that you’ve put on your BB blog since opening it to your BW blog,, so as to make it more complete...". And the "it" here is referring to the BW blog.

Here are some suggestions for you to consider: 1. You could write a post on the Bodhi Boulevard blog to let people know that you will be using the Buddha Warrior blog again, and ask those interested in reading your future (and past as well) posts to visit it (you provide the link). At the same time, keep the Bodhi Boulevard blog there as it is, in which case anyone happens to visit it will know they can visit your BW blog. 2. This may take some effort and time, but maybe worth doing: upload those posts that you've put on your BW blog since opening it to your BW blog, so as to make it more complete with all that you've written since you left the latter. It's a good idea to stick to just one blog, and therefore you could do the same with your Rockmelon Pie blog. That is, upload those posts you've posted on the RP blog to the BW blog as well. That will make your BW blog really complete with all that you've written since blogging. I think it's fine to have posts on a blog that have different intellectual/spiritual/emotional/personal orientations/flavours. That helps the blog readers to see its writer from more perspectives. So from now on maybe you could stick to just using the BW blog for all posts that you write, regardless of whether they are academic or personal oriented. Just some thoughts for you to consider.

]]> Comment on Us Bitter, Bitter Asian Men! by Rose http://buddhawarrior.wordpress.com/2007/01/10/us-bitter-asian-men/#comment-8024 Rose Sun, 25 Oct 2009 05:59:45 +0000 http://buddhawarrior.wordpress.com/2007/01/10/us-bitter-asian-men/#comment-8024 I am a 33 year old Asian female in Canada. I moved here when I was about 9 years old. I have reservations about dating and marrying second generation Asian men. I suspect that secretly they desire Caucasian women more than Asian women even if they don't admit it. Why? Because ever since birth these Canadian/American-born Asian men have been bombarded with the Caucasian beauty standard and media images of Caucasian women. Caucasian women images have been eroticized for him constantly, meanwhile the only images he has had of Asian women were his mother and sister. So, how is he supposed to feel an erotic attraction for me, when on the unconscious level, it was never hardwired into him through his development phase of childhood and early adulthood. I have directly heard many second generation Korean boys at my church say that Asian girls remind them of their sisters. I heard them say this a lot when I was in my teens. After that, I wrote off these banana boys permanently and never looked in their direction again as dating potential or marriage material. This does not apply to FOB (1st generation) Korean males because they grew up under entirely different conditions where Korean women are eroticized for them through the Korean media back in Korea. So, my point is that I think you 2nd generation boys prefer white women deep down over Asian girls but you are afraid to admit it. And you only want us because you can't get white women.
