Dam man, I was just reading Bao Phi's first journal entry about his transition from a person who bashed on his Asian community to one who is now uplifiting it. The reason why I be bashin on Asians is cuz I have expectations of them as Asian people. I had friends who barely went to school, cuz they didn't care about gettin no edumacation. Instead they hung around Chinatown everyday with their girls and started shit with other Asian people. They even fucked up a black dude cuz he was a black person who was walking in a Chinese "territory." I'm not gonna be like them other people who think they hella hard and shit for doin what they do. Dam straight I'mma tell you what the fuck I think. I get pist off cuz here you are in an oppressed group spending your time oppressing other people that's in the same boat as you are. Man, I unno even know where the hell I'm getting at. I'm just mad after reading the first entry man.

I was at the Baophi' s dialogue and poetry nite in Little Saigon last nite, Sept 30, 2005. I was truly amazed and captured by Bao Phi and all the guests' s talent. I wished I could have brought more friends to the event. I was accompanied by one of my friends, and just like me, he really like the performance. Nikky and David, Bao Phi of course, Duc Tri' Que Anh, John, and all the MCs are all gracefully amazing. I am glad that I received the invitation email to announce the event. I hope I will continue to receive email about events like that. Thank you vey much. Paulilna

I love your poetry and writing. You really inspire me to work on my own. Your words are as piercing and scalding as reality is set to be. You're really an inspirition. I've never been a groupy before but if it counts you'd be the first I'd be a groupy towards. take care!!!

Hi Bao! I'm currently teaching english in South Korea. The students and I have been reading "The Joy Luck Club" by Amy Tan and we've been discussing the life of Asian-Americans living in America. Your poems have helped me get the message out to them. Just wanted to take this time to give you props as I jack another one of your poems for my class *^_^*

to express bao's skills as an artist and person for me is beyond my vocabulary. it's like that feeling when you kickin' with your friends and realize that you've been up all night and you on a rooftop watching the sun rise. your words inspire a brotha like me, beyond all my clowin' and tomfoolery, i wanted to let you know i got mad love for you and your words...when we roll it's like dhalism and ryu kickin' it.
