What I do Best

I am not surprised in the least bit that I have not posted a blog in however long it is. I hate writing and I don't really care to post anything about my life right now cause I live around everyone that I care about or that cares about me. But why quit? I admittedly lost interest initially but I think I can stick this out. I am so good at loosing interest and just letting it go. Trust me, I have done it with hundreds of books. Most of the time I didn't even bother opening the book and reading a few pages or chapters, I just look at the cover and the title and there goes my interest in reading books altogether. But I've made the decision to follow this one through.

So with that I guess I better come up with something interesting to write about so that if there is someone bored enough to actually check my blog can have something to read. Since I mentioned books I guess I'll write about that. For those who don't know me, I have never liked reading. There has not been a good reasons for it, I guess I just didn't prefer it over playing sports, watching TV or playing a video game. Then as I came to realize that there may be something slightly more to life than those previous mentioned activities I decided that maybe I would take up reading books. But things didn't work out cause I couldn't really find any books that I liked to read. I liked reading the sports page of the paper and Sports Illustrated, but other than that I couldn't find anything that could keep me interested for more than 20-30 pages. Then, if I remember it correctly, my dad sort of made me read The Great Divorce by C. S. Lewis. What an awesome book and what an amazing author. I started reading a few more books by C. S. Lewis like Out of the Silent Planet, the Screwtape Letters and s few of his essays. I would have read more but I moved on to the Book of Mormon and Our Search for Happiness to prepare for a two year LDS mission. Then on my mission in Korea I of course only read scripture and books published by the church. But during that time I learned to love to read scripture also. Then after I came back I got too busy with school that I didn't really pick any novels/books. This summer I finally decided to read The Bourne Identity. Solid read. Then I reread The Great Divorce...better than I remembered it. Now I am making more time to read the space trilogy novels of C. S. Lewis. I have finally matured to the point where I read books, what an improvement.

Me? Competitive? (난 늘 이긴다)

So one of the goals that I have for my blog is to outdo my wife's blog. Recently she posted on her blog 65 reasons to continue living or something like that. It is good that she is finding reasons not to end life so soon, but now I have to one up her. Here is my list of 66 reasons I live/ plan to continue living. And they are in no particular order as that would be too difficult to figure out. I know that my wife will scrutinize this list, I already did that to hers. I told her that she is going to have to earn a whole lot more money if she wants to accomplish the things on her list. Trust me, my list will be far more simple since that is who I am, a simple man.
Eat the biggest Twinkie in the world. Nothing like cream filled sponge cake that never goes bad because there's nothing natural in it. So scrumptious.

Eat plain cloves of garlic and then relish the after-taste and after-smell for the next few days. Anyone who would like to join me on this one is always welcome.

Eat tons more sushi with extra wasabi.

Get a nice big gut and enjoy the roundness of it.

Beat Laina at "blogging."

Watch more March Madness.

See Laina overcome her impatience.

Wear new pairs of socks. They are so comfortable when they are new. Why does the washing machine have to ruin the new sock feeling? Maybe I'll start dry cleaning my socks.

Read every months issue of Motor Trend. Best magazine there is.

Sneeze and have that great feeling of getting all that stuff out of my body. After seeing that picture I am tempted to always have a hanki on me for the sake of everyone else.

Own a lazy boy type chair. This is something my wife would love to have in the house.

Play more golf at more courses in more states and in more countries. The only reason I can see for traveling to anywhere besides Korea and my house.

Watch Tiger break all the golfing records.

Eat raw meat with a tiger and live to tell the story cause they are so solitary I'd imagine that they might not want company as they eat.

Smell wet sidewalk. Laina used to lick the sidewalk just for the smell, but I am not that desperate, I can wait for the sprinklers or rain.

Drink from hoses. There's that distinct hose taste that's irresistable.

Play more basketball (actual image of me).

Learn and study more Korean.

Own a Porsche. Oh the thought just makes me smile. Learn to drive my Porsche really well at the Porsche Driving School.

Live in an igloo for a season.

Hunt polar bear while living for a season in the igloo and try interesting new recipes for bear meat. Cub meat is so tender, the Inuit say.

Watch the Rockets win another championship. It's gonna happen sometime in my life.

Go back to korea and eat like a king and talk in my favorite language, not in English (it's too tiring).

Master the "Speed Bag Bible" instructions and dominate the speed bag.

Eat kimchee (김치) My mouth is watering already.

Eat rice, possibly the greatest food ever. And it makes your skin stretchy.

Suffer from more super hot peppers. The burn takes so long to diminish but the tears make it all better.

Watch more soccer. Someday I'll have cable or satellite so that I can watch games on TV.

Play more soccer (축구 하자!)

Watch more football. What a great American sport. Sure beats rugby. (that comment was directed purely at Ralph)

Watch Rocky 4 for the 10,000th time. Greatest movie ever.

Well I don't know how many that is but this sucks just trying to think of more things. Those are enough reasons for me to keep living. The last reason alone is enough to keep living. Like I said in the opening, I am a simple man and even my competitiveness can't get me to come up with more reasons. I am posting this thing.

Procrastination (연기한다)

I am using a "Georgia" font. I like the way that it looks even though I really don't have a particular affinity to Georgia. I am possibly the greatest procrastinator of all time. But I hate it so much, I have been working on this trial for some time. Luckily I am married to someone who could be diagnosed with a mental disease because she has to have everyone planned well in advance or else she starts to lose it. There are pros and cons to this. The pros outweigh the cons, otherwise I could have never married her. The most important of the pros is that she is an example to me not to procrastinate. Seeing her diligence from the beginning of receiving a responsibility really helps me. But if she doesn't have the time to put in all of the pre-work and planning then she gets really stressed out and I have to deal with her. I always know that things will work out because I am used to putting it off but since she isn't, she freaks out and I have to console and let her know that things will come together. Luckily I didn't procrastinate too much in studying for the MCAT. That could have been disasterous. Now I need to work again on avoiding prcrastination for applications to med schools. I have already postponed it enough and now it is time to get down to the nitty gritty, all the loop holes that I never wanted to have to jump through, the stuff that was part of the reason I initially didn't want to go to med school. But it has got to get done. I am not going to be parking cars for the rest of my life although the world would benefit from that cause I am amazing at parking cars and taking care of customers.

Frogs and Shakes (개구리를 먹고싶어)

Speaking of things that make me really hungry... my wife and I went to Arctic Circle for shakes this evening and they were gooood. There's nothing like a delicious shake; and the sercive was impecable. Everyone should hit up Arctic Circle this summer for hot eats and cool treats (I hope Dairy Queen doesn't make me remove that line). I like frog insides... so interesting.

The Beginning (시작합시다)

Let's just say boredom brought this about. See you all in the future.
