Seattlest: Dishin': How Now, Har Gow?

Seattlest: Dishin': How Now, Har Gow?

Jay Friedman laments the state of dim sum in Seattle. He should be thankful that he hasn't been banished to the suburbs! Someday I'll find decent Chinese up here. Most of the places are bland at the best, and over cooked and flavorless at the worst. Even potstickers, one of the easiest dishes on the repertoire, are often ruined. Fortunately, there's decent Thai to try.

Driving along in Kirkland , home of the modern yuppie, I’m passed by a new Mercedes. Lovely, silver, shiny, new, bling-bling; a part of me loaded with insecurity twinges while I purr along in my Toyota. Why? How come this is a metric of my self-esteem? Am I being unfair to myself, being upset by this train of thought and it’s influence? Consider, please, how much this viewpoint is drilled into us. Look at how often this imagery gets pushed into our faces, and how long that’s been going on. It shouldn’t surprise me, really, that I sometimes feel this way. Though my conscious values oppose this, the lingering thread of this programming has threads into the depths psyche.

Under sunlit trees  Cold air sitting in judgement  I still stop and gaze 

Pitfalls of distraction

With great ease, I get sucked into random distractions. This frustrates me no end. Actually, the worst past of the feeling isn't due to the lingering tasks. I end up feeling distracted, fragmented and worn; I hate that sensation. I love the feeling of moving forward, accomplishing goals with a direction and focus. Of course, I adore helping people, especially those I care about. The right balance, oh how I long for thee!
