I'm in NYC right now and it' s already 2:41am EST. Yeah, my body is stuck in Pacific Standard Time. I'm chatting with friends and I've been sorting some photos of my past 5 days in NYC. I came here to attend my cousin's wedding. It was a great event because I haven't seen some of my relatives for a long long time. It was pretty cool to see my cousin Eric get married. He's a great guy.

He's the first amongst my first cousins who are 2nd generation Asian Americans to marry Asian. Can you believe that? Every one of my first-cousins in the US married white. Yup! I have eight first-cousins who are married so far. Seven are married to whities! If you include my sister in this family tree, eight are married to whities. Wow, eight of nine cousins married white!

What about me? Would I ever marry white? Would I ever date white? Some of my female friends have wondered why I have yet to date white girls. I always tell them that white girls are like aluminum foil. When you initially pull aluminum foil from a roll, it is beautiful, shiny, shimmering, perfectly reflective. But quickly your foil will wrinkle and soon it will have creases, cracks, and lines all over it. Within seconds, you will not recognize the foil.

The same is true with white women. They reach maturity at an earlier stage in life; but they wrinkle early too. And by the time they're 35, they look REALLY REALLY OLD! If you know me, I'm 33 right now. But I look like I'm only 26 or 27(at most). If I date a white girl who's about 30, she'll look like she's a little older than me right now. But if I marry her, she'll look like she's 60 when I look like I'm 40. Dude, that's wack!

But E, shouldn't a marriage be a relationship about two personalities that get along and just love each other through thick and thin? Of course it should be just that. But I think white girls will not laugh at my jokes. I make fun of white people all the time with my standup comedy routine. Especially my jokes about living in the Deep South. Will a white girl laugh at my jokes about Mississippi red-necks? I doubt it.

Don't get me wrong. White girls can be very attractive. And for the most part, they have female physical features that are more "mature" than most Asian women. (Most Asian women physically mature only to look like the equivalent of a Junior high white girl.) But I just fear the idea of a white girl looking way older than me.

Dude, give it a try. Okay maybe I'll try. But I'm kinda short. Many of the white girls whom I know are close to 6 feet tall. They're quite amazonian. I doubt they'd go for me. I've had plenty of rejection from Asian women because I'm not Prince Charming (especially 6 feet tall). I doubt I have a chance with these girls who are themselves that tall.

Oh wells.
