Dunce........

So I started my new basketball season. My team consists of me, Hoon, Mel, Mike ha and the Japanese twins. What a debacle...... Today I pulled one pf the most embarrasing stunt of my LIFE! What did I do? I was lined up on the side to get the rebound from an opponent's foul shot. he missed and I jumped up to get the rebound. I GOT IT! YEAH I thought. It was a hard fought rebound and I got it!!!! So I was excited and I lost track of where I was. All I was thinking was "I must make the basket". So what did I do? I tried to put it back. What I forgot in my excitement was that I was underneath the my own basket. I was shooting at my own basket!!!!! I missed the first shot. Mel said "what are you doing?" I said "WHAT?" I ignored him and I grabbed my rebound again and shot it again... I missed it again. Than I realized I was shooting at my own basket.... Oh the shame.... I was so embarassed. Everyone was laughing. The refs, the opponents. We ended up loosing and I hung my head in shame. The worst was that I even missed those two shots that was such easy shots. The referee said "it is a good thing you can't make lay ups....." That sucked....

Close encounter with the Catholic kind


So I want to get an opinion... Not that it really matters because..... Some person already ruined my game. The question is.... Is it wrong for me to date Catholics? here is what happened. After work I went to the bucks and I witnessed a pretty crazy thing. It was a Korean AHjumMah with a Mega Phone, yelling "Breive in Jejus!" "God Ruvs you!" "God want to sabe you". As I was watching this, a beatiful young women sitting across from me said, "Now that is a woman with conviction". She was so pretty. Thought to myself "CHA-CHING". Beautiful and a Christian. So of course I had strike up a conversation.

Tip #1 for all you losers who don't know how to strike a conversation. You have to say something that is funny and related to what is going on. Basically make the girl laugh or smile but not stupidlike humor that is not related to what is going on, because that can lead to awkward momments.(depends on the girl) Anyway if you acomplish that...... BOOM, your in contention for the title belt.
Tip #2
Keep the conversation going but change it to a coversation with more depth. Basically make her see that you are not just a clown but also you can be deeper and you have a brain. (If this gets achieved, your in the money)
Tip #3
Talk about a subject that she brings up. (this could be a little harder since you might not know what she is talking about, but it can lead to a great thing) If you don't know what she is talking about just be honest and say that you don't know. Also mention that you are intersted in finding out what she knows about it. Then the "act like" your intersted in what she has to say and BAM, now you are a great listener.. (REMEMBER! whitty commenets and funny lines once a while to keep the positive thing going is a necesity)

That is enough tips for all of you clowns.

So I aplied my own formula and I cracked couple of jokes. When the momment was right, I said "Are you a Christian?" She said she was Catholic. But she seemed more devout than most catholics I've met. So the conversation turned into a theological discussion. I said, "Some of the gretest Christian minds came from the Catholic Church". She was really excited when I said that.(I am such a sneaky bastard) We talked about St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Augustine. It was going great.
All of a sudden I thought to myself, "what am I doing?" But than again I said "Catholics are Christians." Then I proceded with the conversation. I think I was about to go in for the kill. But all of a sudden..... Wa~ Wa~ Wa~ Wa~

Obviously God did not want this to happen..... Errrr. Here is what happened.

remember couple of blogs ago when I blogged about the girl whop got engaged and I was broken hearted... Well she shows up to the Bucks and sits down. Than she started talking about this that and the other... I was so pissed off. I was hoping she would leave. I gave her all the hints to leave. Instead the Catholic princess left. ARRRRRRGGGHHHH! I said to my friend "Gi jee Bae... How come you don't have any noon-chi!" I said "I think you exist to ruin my life!" She thought I was being mean and got mad at first but realized what she has done. I mean think about it.... hasn't she done enough damage in my life! Does she have to ruin my game with other girls too?

I guess it wasn't meant to be between the Catholic princess and I.

Here is to Thomas Aquinas and Augustine who almost helped me hook up...

Thanks for trying Tommy and Auggy!

random things

I just picked up Unify Konika... (You can click on the word Konika to see what I sell.)
What doe this mean? I have another channel to sell to. By the end of this year I will be filthy rich and I will look down at all the suckers that are poor..... Just kidding. God has provided me with a new opportunity. The Big G is down with me. Hopefully we will start getting paid on time and I can make a little more moolah!

Ban Chik WANG (foul King)

Anyone see a Korean Movie called Ban-Chik Wang(foul king)? It is so funny. It seems idiotic when you see the cover box. One might think "how good can a Korean movie about wrestling be?" I promise you, it is one of the funniest movie you'll ever see. It also deals with pressures of life in Korea. One of my favorite Korean actor comes out from it. Song Gang Ho. He was in JSA, Shiri, and number of other great Korean movies. If anyone wants to see it let me know. I will let you borrow it. It is not just a movie. It is a social statement.

The Ole' Drop Step.......

Last night, I learned a new move in basketball. It is just about the most old school move but it WORKED.... Until yesterday, I have never scored on Billy by using moves. Usually it was just by luck. But NOT YESTERDAY. Roger the Japanese pool man showed me the trick. It is all about going in the paint with a conviction. Going in there with anger (which I have plenty of). Swing your leg around and bump your opponent with the booty. And than it is just an easy lay up. Billy Min is 6 foot 3 and I never score on him in the paint. But yesterday I took him to the hole TWICE in a row! Finally REDEMTION! It felt good. I feel good. All of a sudden my confidence went way up and I feel like a champ. I was grabbin boards and dishing out assists....... All of a sudden, basketball is fun again. I think that today is going to be a good day.

Here is a example of the drop step by the master of drop step

One day I am goin to drop step my way into the CPC basketball hall of fame along with Hoon.

Twilight Zone

So starts another wonderful day in paradise. I am convinced that I am in a twilight zone. May be I am having one of those ground hog day. I wake up this morning and I go to Starbucks. The same employees say the same things to as they did yesterday. I get the same coffe and say bye to everyone. They all say "Have a great day at work". It seems that I am doing exactly what I did yesterday. But the misery continues today!.... For instance I was in bad traffic again. I know..... it's strange but I keep finding myself in this awful traffic everyday. I come to work and no one looks happy. I come walking up to my desk and BAM. The same messy desk as yesterday. I call different cutommers but they all say the same thing. I hear the same thing on radio today. I hope that it won't be like this forever.

Movie Club
Last night was actually pretty cool. I had dinner with my dad. JJA Jang Myun. Did my laundry. Hung out the Hoon Dog for an hour. Dave Song came by to show off his new Hyundai Santa Fe. Joanne, Susan, and Andy came by and all of us chilled at my Bucks. I think that we are going to start a movie club. The first movie I think we are going to watch is "Cool Hand Luke". Since my pops is leaving soon, we can do it at my house. Something that I am kinda looking forward to. If some one else wants to join our group...... You can't. But if you buy all of us dinner..... J/K If there are other movie buffs and want to join our movie club, let me know. So back to last night..... Andy left early. Rest of us went to "Rigoberto's" formerly known as "Alberto's". Susan was explainig to me about one of her friends who is getting fatter and fatter. I got all happy when she said to me "he is bigger than you." I love it when people are fatter than me. When I asked if he dwarfs me she said something that I am still laughing about. She said "he is fat but he is not WHAAAH" when she said whaah and acted as she was wearing a imaginary fat suit. I busted out in a laughter. It was funny. I don't know why, but it was one of those uncontrollable laughter. Everyone else was laughing just because I couldn't stop laughing. Susan couldn't finish her meal and niether could Joanne. So Dave Song finished it for them. So Dave Song had his Carne Asada Burrito, half of Susan's Enchilada, and 1/3 of Joannes Carnita Burrito. May be Dave Song, is trying to join the likes of me, Hoon and Mel. You know... real men with MANLY guts. But the way he has been eating, Song Duk Dong will catch up in no time.

Jung Lee just can't win....

I am not sure what happened yesterday but not one thing went right for me. Yeah I know that I bitch and whine on my blog but I don't care. Yesterday I found out that I could not go on my vacation. Yeah it sucked. I was going to go to Holland, France, and England. But nope..... Instead, I will be in Fullerton, Cerritos, and El Segundo. My new axis of evil. yeah I wanted to get away from my life for few weeks. But what happened? I won't be getting away from anything. Also series of bad things happened yesterday. I won't go into details but it was a day of bad conversations, bad communcationas and to top it all off I had a bad headache. I was also rebuked for my ill decision to splurge on Xanga. What started off as a joke became a blasphmous act of lunacy. On top of that I lost in Fantasy league to Mike Ha. Elton Brand and Eddie Jones.... Both out for the season it seems. I just couldn't win yesterday. My sales yesterday? $0.00 WA ~WA~ WA~ WA~

WACKED

What disapointment..... I don't think I can handle another bad news today. For those who are curious about what I am talking about, you can ask me one day. I might tell you.
Update.... Look up at the 03-04-03 blog. That is what happened.....

AH JUH CEE

I played tennis yesterday. I haven't done that for 13 years..... Last time I played was when I was a freshman in highschool. Wacked. I can't believe it has been that long since I was a freshman in High School. When I was at Sarai's B-day party, I ran into 2 people who were older than me. Other than that EVERYONE else was younger than me. My friends are starting to get married and some even have kids. I am almost reaching that Ah Juh Cee status. This is sad. doesn't 27 sound so much younger than 28? I am 28 years old. In Korea I would be 30(lunar birth I was born in 74). Also Koreans say that new borns are 1 year old. SO I AM 30 in Korean age. BOOOOOOOOOO........ It seem like yesterday when I was 23. Youth is being pulled underneath me. So how am I going to survive my remaning days as a young man. I think I have couple of months left. After that it is ovah fo da fevah.

Things to do before I get old
1) join a band and become a rockstar.
2) learn another language
3) take another course at a college
4) play more basketball
5) Break some more hearts
6) Make a music video with Snoop
7) buy a skate board and learn
8) Snow board in the Alps
9) run with the bulls in pomplona
10) Last but not least, kick some one's ass

Saturdy Night Fevah



Got up early to help Andy Park move. It was done by noon and I came home to nap. After nap, I went to Sarai's party. It was cool. She had food, DJ, drinks and etc..... There were couple of scary things I noticed.

Scary thing number one....
There were a group of people from CPC at the Party. And there were other people from other all over at the party. Others were mingling around, but the whole CPC people were talking among themselves. This is not the scary part. Here comes the scary part.... EVEN at a party the guys and the girls seperated by gender...... A group of CPC guys were in one corner and CPC girls were at the other corner. Later when more people came and the CPC people seperated. Buy honestly.... Even at a party? I honestly feel that this speration among men and women need to stop. It is like they are Pavlov's dogs salivating when the dinner bell rings. CPC folks are conditioned to seperate among the sexes no matter what. We suck in that catagory. This made me trully apreciate sister Joanne's trooperness.

Scary thing Number two....

I had a theory that Andy and Mike were going to follow me around the whole time at the party. I suggested to the boys that they should talk to some girls. But what was their response? they both simultaneously said "I am tired" What does being "tired" have to do with talking to girls? Anyway.... Back to my theory... My theory came true. No matter where I went, There were Andy lee and Mike Ha just following. Sometimes I would try to walk away but they would follow me every where ..... The crazy thing was that there were more girls than guys at the party. But it did not mean much to Mike and Andy.... You guys need to be little more aggresive.

After party we met up with Susan and talked about art.
