Why be plain when you can be crispy?
Our very own Jeff Wang coined the term and I've heard my roomate Christina use it more than once. But here's a perfect example
Yesterday night at in-n-out, two pubescent girls in red tank tops order. There's this posse of guys behind us yelling at them to get a shake. After my mom and I order, we make our way to the recieving counter and people watch. My mom says "Girls nowadays dress in clothes that look like underwear." I couldn't agree more. But then again, I look over at the guys. They all have almost bic-ed heads, are wearing immaculate white t-shirts 2-3 sizes too big and a wifebeater underneath. They're either wearing dark blue or black shorts that go down to mid-calf and all have white socks pulled up all the way. The interesting thing about them is that they all have perfectly shaped eyebrows. Any girl would covet those eyebrows and guess what, a whole posse of gang-banger high school boys has them. And believe me, you can tell that they were shaped.
Is that the new gang sign nowadays? My goodness, metrosexual has now infiltrated the ghetto.

How do you praise God when you're on the bottom rung?
I realize that I tend not to praise and worship my Lord and Savior when hard times are here. And when something good happens like when I get a good grade on the test and/or yeah something good happens.
But worship and praise shouldn't depend on what mood I'm in but the quality of the One I'm worshipping and praising. God is ALWAYS good, ALWAYS powerful and ALWAYS loving. I on the other hand am not ALWAYS anything but inconsistent.
I think it takes a lot of trust to open one's heart and worship/praise when one is going through a hard time like a time of emotional anguish or the loss of something or struggling with sin. To open up in the midst of such hardship means that you're surrendering to the one you're worshipping, becoming vulnerable, putting yourself onthe line for more potential heartbreak and pain. Well it also depends on who/what you're worshipping, too.
Yeah, its something that I'd like to challenge myself with.
