Facetious.... Sarcastic.... Cynical.... Who Me?


Is this the face of a person who seem facetious?

So last night I was at bible study and Jin asked a question about the hardness of the heart.

Mark 6:51-52
51Then he got into the boat with them and the wind ceased. And they were utterly astounded, 52for they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.

"How do you deal with the hardness of the heart" I answered "look to the cross and pray!"

there was this silence.

Jin asked again.
Walter said "Jung said look to the cross and pray!"
hahahaha! Walter is a funny kid.
Jin said again "what can we do?"
I said "Ask the Holy spirit to help us."
Than the ingrate Fart Boy David Lee said "you sound so Facetious!"

Facetious? Moi?

I thought at that moment, How is my answer facetious? What else can we do? Is simple answers not good enough that we have to complicate things? The last thing that I thought of was may be I sounded facetious....

I've heard it all before starting from obnoxious to sarcastic through cynical to cocky.... But never facetious.... Am I that too?

Delta Sigma Phi

Today I got phone call from Scott Roebuck (Frobuck). A friend from college and a Fraternity brother. My pledge brother. He now resides in Arizona and he was coming down here and he wanted to know where I would be. As I was talking with him, many memories came rushing back.

Oh yes.... My college days and my days in the Fraternity.....
Yeah the author of you favorite Blog site, Da Fevah was a frat guy for the first two years of his glorious 4.5 years at CSUF. Nothing quite like endless cheap beer (Keystone) and endless stupidity to pass your time in college.... Yeah those were da days. College days.... It seems like an eternity ago now. But this was many, many moons ago. Before your favorite Blogger came to understand the saving grace of our Lord JC!

I remember rush week and I got a bid from all these Fraternities. Yup this was right out of high school and I was gung ho about everything except God. My whole philosophy in college was to have the best time I possibly can cause you never get them back! CARPE DIEM!

We got kicked off campus eventually for having raging parties and being irresponsible.... We had our last party.... We went out with a blast! We went out like ROCK STARS! No one realizing how empty our lives were to be after the frat. No more were we the members of the Greek society.... We were just bunch of guys who got assed out. Unlike all the great frat movies such as Animal House, Revenge of the Nerds, and Old School, our charter was revoked and we became the Greek rejects.....



Gone were the days of Toga parties and wild Sorority chicks....

Well looking back now what did I get from the fraternity? Bigger gut, higher tolerance for alchohol and many things that I don't quite remember. Let that be a lesson to all of you youngsters. Don't do anything that you will look back say "I got nothing positive out of it". Though I got some friends and many stories, It's not worth gaining a bigger gut over it. I could have been friends with these fools without being in a frat.

But then again I thought I was gonna be a different man than I turned out to be so I guess I just didn't know the difference....

College was a hazy shade of nothing..... If you think about it, what does college really teach you anyway? They fill you up with wild idealistic working world and when you graduate, you are out to fend for yourself.... College was one BIG party.... And I certainly was invited. Sometimes hosted it. What sinner I am....

I was chatting with my friend Cecile Daragnes. She sent me some online photos of her Home in Southern France.(St. Jean De Luz)







Her Father has a chocolatier that makes dessert and other sweets in that beautiful city. She is now in Paris....

She say she will be in St. Jean De Luz in the fall. I am going to Europe in the fall... Even if it kills me. I am going to go. Damn it! I am gonna GO!

God.... I know that I asked for alot.... And I know that you've come through for me.... So many times. But You never came though with the Benz and you never gave me the winning Lotto ticket... I don't blame you. You always know what is best for me.... But Lord... Please... Let me go to Europe this fall.... Please....
Another wonderful day in paradise

Beaux came over in the evening and we went over some bible verses last night. Me and Beaux will be meeting once a week from now to go over the bible and discuss with each other about this, that, and the other. Beaux rox!

Here he is in Japan... Beaux is an international man of mystery.

anyways...

I want to talk about my diet.
So I've had the most uproductive month of diet so far.
yeah the whole month of May I lost 4 pounds.... So iu am back on the wagon. Much rededication is needed. I need all of your support.
So I now I've lost 75lbs all together.... Many people ax Da Fevah "how did you do it?"
so some of you know that I've been taking Han Yak!

Han Yak.... YUCK!

I always had a chaser...

yogurt (Ya Goo Root)... The Korean version.

Yeah so Lisa tells this story to Paul and Liz (his new girlfriend) and Paul didn't just laugh, he was pointing at me and laughing.... I hate that stuff... Han Yak... So nasty.... But no pain No gain.... Not that I wanna gain weight. But seriously, I am back to hard core diet! So help me God!

The devil made me do it?


So I was listening to the radio at lunch today and they played a tape of an old sermon anout Satan.

You remeber that movie "The Usual Suspects"...
that famous quote "The greatest trick that the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he does not exist".

It is so funny that I heard this today. Cause I was just thinking about it today. How real is Satan to you? Why is it that Satan does not seem so real to me. Is it my sinfulness that causes me to sin or is it Satan tempting me? I think I am gonna talk to P. Jin about Satan today.

Remember the Church Lady?

"who can it be the one that is causing all these sins? Hmmmm.... can it be SATAN?"
Oldschool? Nah just old.....

I love that word... Oldschool. Yesterday Lisa, Kelly, Jason and I had a conversation about being old.
I asked the question "How old will you be 10 years from now?...."

I will be 39 years old 10 years from now.... The youth that we had is slipping away into darkness and we will never get it back. Yeah.... It is a pretty depressing thought isn't it?


Henry (31) said the other day "We are at the prime of our life."
Are we? he asked when we will be turning 30.... I will be 30 next year. Hen said "alright!" It felt like I was doing something that shouldn't and I did it and henry was happy about it. I'll bet he was thinking "haha I am not the only one in my 30's"

Lisa said she realized that she was getting old when she was surrounded by college girls at the picnic and they were playing games....

here she is "resting" after picnic.


Hoon seems to be the ageless one. You would never think that Hoon is 28 with all the spunk and what not. he was having a good old time at the picnic.

Here he is having watermelon....


Al...
reliving his youth that he missed out on... Turning the big three-oh this year..


Now me....

Now does this look like a man who is turning 30 next year?
.......
Don't answer that!
