Sure, i know its kinda early, but i'm kinda broke.
since i can not afford any elaborate or even generic gifts,
all that i have left to give is my dignity and pride.
so in the tradition of the infamous foto that ruined all of my political
ambitions aka the-funny-smirk-with-the-gold-chain-with-Luca-by-the-pool-photo,
i present to you, Kaffy Bach, on the verge of your birfday, the last of my dignity...

Brother Darkness

2007-01-21T22:57:00.000-08:00

One of my favorite thinkers and co-workers. L. Ross aka Tobruk Dark aka Hamburlglar aka No T-Shirt No T-Shirt.
Inventor of the martial arts style known as the "bloody elbows" and master of invisbility via tree climbing method.
Mathematician and magician all rolled in one.
Do not be afraid of the darkness.

Cover of his 1st book: From the Darkness of the Mind: From the Mind of Tobruk Dark

His own synopsis:
"This book is Dark… Very Dark… In fact, this book is so dark that I wrote “it” in the Dark… And when it wasn’t Dark enough, I continued to create by writing with my eyes closed… But remember, even closed eyes can see light…Meaning, the more I explored the Darkness (with my eyes closed), the more I was able to see… As if what is discovered in the Dark cannot be ignored… As if Darkness is nothing more than something standing in the Light… As if Light is a Mask that is worn by the Darkness…
Actually, this book is built around the concept of The Spoken Word verses The Written… For you see, I spoke as I wrote while my eyes remained closed… As a result, I began to see that only two types of words exist – those that are spoken and those that are written… An example of The Spoken Word can be found at the very beginning (Genesis 1: 3) when God said, “Let there be light (and there was light)…” The “power” of The Written Word can be seen (even with closed eyes) in any written document that is legally binding… More precisely, what do you call something that is legally binding whose “power” resides in The Written Word? (An illusion, perhaps?)
But anyway, the more I explored the mysteries of The Spoken Word (remember: When it comes to this book – I spoke as I wrote), the more I began to see the picture behind the picture; namely, if only two types of words exist (The Spoken and The Written), then perhaps there is a bigger classification (for books) than merely fiction or non-fiction… In fact, I began to see that fiction and non-fiction are perfect example illustrating the truth of this statement (or observation): “A fool and water are easily diverted.”[1]Do not be diverted by Fiction or Non-Fiction – it’s bigger than that! As big as the differences between The Blackman’s Guide or The Whiteman’s Handbook…Enjoy…"

The highly anticpated follow-up: "The Blackman's Guid to Understanding it All..." Coming soon

Synopsis:

About the Author in his own words:
"One thing I believe about any author, whether he’s writing fiction or non fiction (or blending both elements together to create something else entirely), is that no matter what the topic for discussion might be, if one looks close enough (diligently enough), one can always find where the author injects his own beliefs info the telling of the story… This is what fascinates me most about reading the writings of others… It’s almost as if by observing the beliefs of others, I can catch them standing still… Then again, as a reader I expect to be entertained when it comes to picking-up a good book…
For example, what if I told you that the 2nd book (in a 4-part series) I am now writing is called The Blackman’s Guide To Understanding It All? Would you believe me? Perhaps the best thing (for you) to do is not believe it… I mean, who would believe that I found the Lord in the Darkness? Actually, even the Lord can be found… And I would rather find the Lord myself than to be told where to look… Wouldn’t you? I guess not… But still, if you try to cleanse other (like soap), you’ll waste away in the process… Meaning, even a preacher knows you can’t save everybody… But everybody can change… This is what I’m exploring as we speak (you and I), the ability to change things… As in changing a pebble into a stone… Or changing a tree into a throne… As if wherever I fall asleep – that’s my home… Or maybe, at first I was here but now I’m gone…"

So many of you may have heard by now that we have a new addition La Casa De Tranchez. Jessica is her name and she'll be hangin out Sun-Sats from now own. Shes good and yes, she looks exactly like her brother Jack.
She was to originally have been named Jacquelyn, but when she was born neither me moms nor her mom knew how to spell it, so they went with Jessica.

Hey Booface!

man, i dunno what it is about the combination of water, another half naked guy, kathy's camera, me and a dumb ass smile (gold chain optional) that always ruins my political ambitions!!! i mean, just when i thought it was safe to run for Pope, the infamous gold chained used car salesman photo mysteriously "surfaces!" my ass. yall should know that 2 weeks before this photo surfaced, i was being Bachmailed for 86 cents! now where the hell can i come up with some loot like that?! what, ask hai? lol! yall do not know how much trouble this photo has caused me. i have received over a dozen phone calls from apple stores nationwide complaining about mysterious moustached maniacs that leave macbook keyboards sticky after each viewing! sure, Apple should definitely know better than to make that photo its new company logo, signifying their "commitment to excellence" without my permission, but you cant blame those moustachios either. indeed, the gift is the curse. anywho, i have decided to post all embarassing photos of myself taken by the bach and her accomplice rod stewart to diffuse the whole matter. enjoy the last one especially.

yes im at work and i should be busy, but im stuck thinkin about vietnam.

One year ago

2005-11-01T08:51:00.000-08:00

exactly one year ago, I was in wackest and whitest city in vietnam, hoi an. it was the biggest tourist trap i have ever fallen into. i couldnt stand the shopping sprees and how most of the EAPers switched from students to tourists, privileged tourists. all i wanted to do was get back to hanoi or saigon or hue or nha trang. then i was told that my favorite rapper, andre hicks aka MAC DRE was killed. couldnt believe it at first so i checked davey d's website and saw a banner that said "RIP MAC DRE." damn. my heart broke and i cried in an internet cafe a world away. still hurts. then a few hours later we also learned that bush got away with stealin another election. ya damn right i drank that night. and no, im not gonna get drunk or high tonight, im just gonna slap some classic mac dre and move on.
i feel selfish righting this knowing that i have a friend who is going through way more in his life right now. im thinkin of you too amigo. you were with me when dre passed away and im with you now. take care my friend.

may all our loved ones rest in paradise

It was my friend Weezel's birfday party recently and lucky for he that he got to celebrate it in Vietnam. As i viewed his birfay fotos, there was somethin not right about them. there was a disturbing occurance that kept occuring throughout his photos. some paranormal hunters refer to this phenomena as "spiritual residue" when a spirit can not move on to the grown up life but instead, desperately clings on to a long past memory. an example would be former Del Taco employee that "haunts" (the most he ever does) the Rochdale Coops. I dont know the name of this particular "haunt" but he feels very familiar and dear to my heart. there were days in hanoi where i would notice a putrid foot odor but as i turned around and surveyed the room, no one was there. other nights and days i would be startled by sound of someone, something singin, "love will tear us apart" again and again. anywho, seee for ya dam self.

As for shoes, it all went down hill from then on. I've never been the same.

I hate hiphop

2005-08-12T01:55:00.000-07:00

after watchin the VH1 hiphop honors show and seeing so fuckin many white faces in the audience, tolkenized honors, and just the fact that it was on VH1, i hate what hiphop has become. i hate the abduction of it. i hate depoliticization of it. fuck it, I'll say it now, I HATE HIPHOP. i dont care if KRS and Public Enemy was on, that dont mean shit if MTV or VH1 didnt salute that back when they first came out. why is it that they had to wait over 20 years to be recognized? how come they wont play any of PEs latest albums that slammed BUSH?! and what was up with NAS doin Keep ya Head up and wreckin it?! why did VH1 have someone that 2Pac hated singin his damned song?! now every muthafuckas a freestyler. same shit is happenin with spoken word too. now every mutafucka that realized theyse a wack MC is all of a sudden a spoken work artist!! just because "i caaaaan talllllk liiiiike thissss" and "ohhhh daaaaa paaaaaaaainnn i feeeeel!" shit. get the fuck outta here! sounds more like STOLEN WORD to me. stolen words from real artists that didnt necessarily choose to become a rapper or poet or artist. fuck hiphop and fuck me. the only way im gonna be a hip hop head again is if MC Hammer makes a come back. hes dope and got love for people. other than that, im gonna stick to "gangsta rap."

Lost in Transition Part Trois

2005-07-01T16:33:00.000-07:00

kinda weird lately. first, Nkauj Iab is gone and i miss her dearly. when we are close i am at ease and excited all at the same time. now that she is gone, im kinda floating around. but she will be back the july 13 which isnt too far away, so i am happy for that.
then there was the SASC Summer Institute. Dope. this was the best year ever. even though we had our issues, such as a a flood setting off a fire alarm, which disrupted our dinner and a few other major issues, we still came out on top. as for our mentees, Dope. they were a great family this year. im really glad they stepped up and spoke out and shared their lives with us. i was touched by their honesty and we ended the summer institute with a great feeling of hope for our world. real talk. like i tell everyone, i dont like to measure our success by the number of people crying at the end, but damn, it was hard not to be touched. and yes, the first to set off the deluge of crying was none other than my amigo who worked as a mentor. i cant put my finger on it but, it seemed to me that we (mentors, volunteers, coords, and mentees) some how caught off guard by how we could come to love our mentees in such a short amount of time. it was especially evident with a couple of friends. perhaps that along with nkauj iab being gone and graduating and being unemployed is why i am feeling quite sad. i honestly dont know what to do with me life and that scares the shit outta me.
so much of my life had been focused on just getting to college and along the way, love and the summer institute have become MAJOR parts of my life that i dont know what to do once i have found all of those dreams. or maybe im feeling this way cuzz im twenty-muthafuckin-six?! i cant call it. boof, i need to be held.
con amor,
mikeonerskee

2005-06-24T03:45:00.001-07:00

personally and professionally, i think that the young man pictured above, caught in the act of receiving fellatio from a penguin prostitute in a public park is in dire need of a tiger bite. but thats just me.

Good thing pictures are worth a thousand words cuzz im feelin lazy

2005-06-23T02:17:00.000-07:00

Sup wit it. sorry for the long ass gap between postin. life is just as hectic as was before graduating. yeah, tricks, im still middle class. much has happened in me world since graduating. im unemployed. i got a new baby brother. he weighed 12 pounds, has beautiful blue eyes, and gray fur with white spots. his name has changed from, puppy to ruckus to rocket to russel, back to ruckus and finally to Duke. poor dog, he must be severely confused. but i must admit, he is the first dog that i have ever encountered that snores, has asthma, and narcolepsy! but we still love him
even with him around, my heart is heavy. me beloved booface is way off in Hanoi and i miss her dearly. but i am conforted by the fact that she will return home with many stories to tell and more vietnameser than she would like to admit. i miss hanoi so bad. fuck it, im declaring it now, im gonna apply for the fulbright just to get back. and like vinh said today, with all of the funding that he, nkauj iab, lily, and i get, we'll have enough loot to adopt Hai!
as promised, here are a bunch of fotos from this Oakland High School's Junior Prom, the first ever Southeast Asian Graduation, and this years Shadow Nite with REACH! enjoy you fuckers. love mike
