It was a spirtual experience last night

Simon & Garfunkle was just amazing. Absolutely spectacular. It was even that much better that my girl and Al was there with me... It was a concert that I will never forget.

Talking about artists....
SO it is time for a little S&G!  I've been avoiding this topic cause i am so looking forward to it so much!  The other day I saw on VH1, down right madness....  Paul Simon and John Mayer....  


MADNESS.........

I talked about it with Al and he felt like it was an injustice also...  Paul Simon singing with anyone else other than Art Garfunkel is a sin...  But with John Mayer?  Yikes!  Paul Simon is getting senile obviously and losing his marbles.  That is why I am so eager to go to the concert tonight....  Casue this is it for these old fogies.... 

After that it's.....
Hello Darkness....  My old friend.....



Here they are when they were young "artists"!
I am an Advocate. No More No Less

I am scared of the fact that we are so damn shameless.
I was talking with P.Jin the other day and realized how shameless and scary we really are.

Here is a reason why I am scared by people.

What we proclaim to be and what we are capable of... Not just extreme... But the subtle madness of it all!

During our conversation topic of art came up. What is art? And what makes one an Artist? I have extremely high standards when it comes to art.

Is any form of expression considered art?

I have seen people who proclaim themselves to be an artist. Now that is scary. There are photographers... designers... painters... dancers... But don't you have to really standout to be an artist? One can be artistic..... I think someone else can say that one is an artist.... One can even think that they are a great designer or a painter. But to self-proclaim to be an artist...

If that is the case than I guess I am a philosopher! A philosopher of life!


Here I am... Thinking.... Philosophizing about my blog...


No... I certainly am not a philosopher. Nor am I an artist. I am just an advocate. AT least according to P.Jin.

Advocate of what you ask?

Iono...

I am an advocate of all things that are good...
Whatever you think (fill in the blank here).... I AM!
Hahahaha!

Nah... Whatever I like... I am an advocate of that!



Once again people scare me...
I look at them and how they go about their daily lives and how indifferent we are about life...
Than I realize that I am one of those people...
I scare myself.

here is my bigoted statement of the day....

95% of those that claim to be artists is much of an artist as I am a philosopher!

So this morning I was driving and Lisa called and said turn to 99.5.

It was a sermon at Promise Keepers event in 95' by Tony Evans!


I've heard this before and it was good to hear it again. Very passionate and very entertaining. The man was on fire! Something about black preachers..... After series of encouraging challenges about being the "salt and light of the world" he told a little story about his favorite Super Hero... Superman! How he is Clark Kent and seems like a regular man yet he goes into the telephone booth and.... Watch out now! He takes off his glasses puts on his blue and red jumpsuit and he is faster than the speeding bullet... Look up in the sky! Its a bird... Nah... It's a plane... Nope. Its Superman!

than he went off to say that we can't be a secret agent Christian, but as Christians need to put on our blue and red jumpsuit on for da Lord with a BIG S on our Chest. It does not mean that we are Super but it does mean we are Saved! It does not mean that we are Super, but it does mean that we are Sanctified!

And it is time to FLY for Da Lord!

in the background noise Christian men were going buck wild... For all you heathens that do not know what Promise Keeper is... It is a ministry for Christian men. And teh audience was charged up and ready to take over!

I admit, even I was charged up....

Cause I wanna fly for Da Lord!

chessmatch against life


Yesterday was yet another wonderful day of chores. Yup I did the laundry (5 loads) and went food shopping. I was at Gah Joo market last night and I was outside smoking. And this ah juh cee (old man) came up to me and asked me if I knew Christ in Korean... I said "yes I do" and he said "you still smoke?"

Oh... Boy....

So I sat there puffing away faster and faster while this man was explaining to me how my body was the temple and what not. So I finishd my smoking and said in Korean "I don't think me knowing Christ and smoking is directly related... It has nothing to with my Goo Won (salvation)." I could have just thanked him and walked away but you know me and my debating nature. But I tried to be respectful purely due to the fact that he was older than me and that he was doing something that I admired. Facing rejections and talking about the Lord. I can tell that the man was intimidated by me... But that did not stop him from sharing his testimony with me. I guess it is the Korean method. I guess he did not believe me in the fact that I was a Christian... I know that I am a saved Christian. But I was kinda annoyed that this man did not believe me purely because I was sitting there and smoking...

But Lisa came to the rescue when she came out of the market. and I left.
We were back in the car.
Lisa - who was that man?
Jung - Someone trying to evangalize to me.
So I told her what happened and she gave me a lecture about smoking... hahaha.
Lisa - Why didn't you talk to him more and ask him to pray for you?
Jung - than he would probably ask me to come out to his church and ask me which church I attended and I did not want to bring shame to my church CPC.
Lisa - at least you know that its shameful!
Jung - What the? I should have told him that I attended CMC(Lisa's Church)! hahaha!

Everything is a struggle. Everything is a chess match. yesterday was a just a little match with a man. Soon enough (7 months after I lose all my weight) I will have a chess match against cigarettes. I will win. I look forward to the day that I quit. But till than, I will enjoy it. I am not ashamed of the fact that I smoke. I truely feel that it is my freedom to do so.

But to all the young kids that happen read my blog...

Don't smoke... It's bad for you!

Ass-Head

Don't you hate it when you tell someone some problem and the 3rd person says "That's nothing! I...."

Today I was telling someone at work that my piece of sh*t computer froze 4 times on me the other day and this ass-head of a co-worker said "Oh yeah? Mine used to freeze 20 times a day."

As if I asked or told her....

You know the kind of person I am talking about.
For example...
Person 1 - Man I am tired these days.
Person 2 - How come?
Person 1 - Oh I've been working late lately and only been averagin' 4 hours of sleep every night
enter the ass-head into the conversation out of no where
Ass-Head - oh yeah? That's nuthin' I've been only sleepin' three hours a day..
Person1 & 2 - ........(they look at each other)


Once or twice is forgivable... But every time.

It's like going to an uninvited party and no one thinks you are cool. And start ruining the party by being your ass-head self.

Well this particular ass-head is never invited.... So don't come. Not to this party. No thank you. Your presence is not welcome.

Is that un-Christian of me to think this way? ::sigh:: I have long ways to go in my sanctification process....

CSUF! How sweet it is!

Here is your 2004 NCAA div.1 baseball national champs!

This is a classic story of a underdog! though we are a powerhouse in baseball, we had an awful start. But we picked up and steam rolled through all!

Yes as you might already know, your favorite blogger attended Cal State Fullerton. A commuter school. A school that not too many desire to go to. Yup. I am sure many through out America never even heard of our school. Well. It's all good. Cause we did it for the little man! We did it for the small businesses. We did it for all those that were told that they couldn't.

Well we did!

I am extremely proud of our baseball program. Last time we won one was when I was in college in 95! it's kind of weird but I am almost always a underdog in life. My school, my job, just everything. But it always makes it that much better when God throws the underdog a little bone!

I know its a little goofy but I love it! We are all a little goofy.

Talking about goofy...... I think that is what I love about Leece. That she is a little goofy....

How is that for goofy!
