ta met er

Peace, peace! he is not dead, he doth not sleep -
He hath awakened from the dream of life -
'Tis we, who lost in stormy visions, keep
With phantoms an unprofitable strife,
And in mad trance, strike with our spirit's knife
Invulnerable nothings. -We decay
Like corpses in a charnel; fear and grief
Convulse us and consume us day by day,
And cold hopes swarm like worms within our living clay.

--From Adonais by Percy Bysshe Shelley

 
 Map of Korea + Cheju Island         It was all good till the crowd started 
                                                                  chanting his name!


I live on that small island to the South
Same yellow color as the mainland.  Same
Yellow face Asian scape spoke hater's mouth!
Mere color on a map.  Who's to blame
For laughing out loud at somebody's name?
A far away place not far away time
Do you know the Kimchee?  Yellow fever?
Can' remember last time I scored a dime.
East West colors maps -  All words from a mime

A rabbi is sitting on an airplane next to a Korean guy. After they have been flying together in silence for a while, the rabbi leans over and says, "You know, I've never forgiven you Chinese for what you did at Pearl Harbor."

The Korean looks shocked and replies, "What the hell are you talking about?!?!? It was the Japanese that bombed Pearl Harbor, not the Chinese. And besides, I'm not Chinese or Japanese, I'm Korean!"

The rabbi says, " Korean, Japanese, Chinese, what's the difference?"

A little while later, the Korean man says, "You know, I've never forgiven you Jews for sinking the Titanic." The rabbi looks confused and mad and says, "What are you talking about? The Jews didn't have anything to do with that! An iceberg sank the Titanic!"

The Korean guy replies, "Iceberg, Goldberg, Greenberg, what's the difference?"
