As you may or may not know, back in March '03, we stayed over at Stan's house.  Well one night, I awoke to some strange noises eminating from the kitchen area.  I slowly got up and crept towards the kitchen.  Peeking around the bend, I found Stan chowing down while singing this.  Nice.  

No, but seriously, Stan is one of the most laid back people you will ever meet.  He has the ability to instantly put you at ease with his positive attitude.  But most importantly, this IT specialist will have your back in a street brawl.

Stan:  I was shocked! I couldn’t believe it! and then as reality hit me I lost all feeling in my body.

Chung Lao:  I know you have lots of memories of Blessan, but take a moment and tell us about a particular moment that stands out in your mind.

Stan:  When I first moved here from India…..Blessan befriended me ( like his usual self). He would talk to me after church which was nice cause he was a cool kid. He said that I’d be all up in his face  while he was getting showered by my spit and getting warm cause of my HOT breath. According to him I’d hold his hand like people do in India during our conversation. Eventually he would free his hand and try to move away from me but ….somehow I’d grab his hand again. Over time according to him I got better. ….. … Also this was his opening piece to our mutual friends who wanted to know how we had met. I don’t think I have done that to anybody……..Makes me  smile everytime I meet or talk to new people. …..

Chung Lao:  What have you learned from his life?

Stan:  He was a guy that lived the life regardless of what was goin on around him. Even though he was in college and working in the corporate world…..none of that swayed him….he stood fast to what he believed in …..and that carried him to the end…..I pray that I can be like my bro. Blessan.

Chung Lao:  Much Love Stan.  Next up on The Tonight Show is Jessica A.  Stay Tuned.
