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.

Good job, although I don't think you beat me. I had way more things than you. But you better save your money as well. All that golf, that porsche, and going to Korea are not going to come to you for free. And you can not eat a baby polar bear, that is just too sad.

garlic eating is a reason to DIE.... just so you know if you do that Ralph will join you and you will both end up killing your wives by being so selfish and "living."
