Hanging out with Chinese people, A POWERFUL MILITARY STRIKE, and The Treeman

I spent the past Memorial Day weekend up in Chicago because some of my friends were leaving the area for good. I must say, I didn't update until now because I was still recovering from

1. The sudden jump in alcohol consumption (I didn't really get drunk, it's just been a while since I've had shot glass after shot glass shoved into my face....k I got wasted)
2. The lack of non-chinese food dishes aka the sudden jump in MSG in my system (The weekend was spent with Chinese people who lived near Chinatown... what else can you expect)
3. Lack of good bed space. I had to share a full sized bed for 3 days with another dude.....Haha my friend woke up and his backside/hips hurt and he looked at me real dirtily/suspiciously and asked me "WHAT...DID...YOU...DO TO ME LAST NIGHT!?" No homo I promise.


First stop was at some club in Chicago. It was good times...kinda. One of my buddies was sad this girl wouldn't talk to him so he just kept buying rounds... one was doing his best roaming around to find "beautiful women"...and then commenting on the lack of "beautiful women", another was doing his best to touch "beautiful women"... actually just all women heh. I was just a drunken mess dancin' around by myself but it was good times.

We noticed that all the bouncers happened to be big tall white/black dudes 230+ pounds, 6'4+, hulking in stature. And we came to a general concensus...

There were about 7 of these guys grouped up at the end of the door. They seriously all looked the same had it not been for haircuts/facial hair. So what if the 8th one in this group at the door was a small 5'8 asian man. Who are you supposed to be scared of the most? I mean yeah this is after a week of kungfu movies but it's funny to think about.


The next day was interesting. We were stuck between watching a Star Trek or going to this bikini bar because the same friend who went around touching/I slept with kept throwing it in there. It was funny cause it was always "Dude let's just go to the club....I mean I totally would watch Star Trek if we can though...they're equal. Totally equal." Lol for 2 hours. And it's interesting cause you figure going to a club like this is just like going to any other bar to meet a girl but cut the BS, you're paying for a girl to take off her clothes and talk to you (as opposed to buying her a drink). So we went.

I have two fond memories of this place.

1. Besides featuring topless girls if you pay, they have free food and $1 beers. Pretty crazy right? So we're sitting at the table and my friend (the honduras one) is sitting there at the table eating away and the dialogue goes:

:Stripper walks up to table: This is not a particularly ugly stripper either.
Stripper: Hey do you wanna go for a dance?
Me: Nah, I'm okay. I'm just gonna finish my beer first.
Stripper: You sure?
Me: Yeup.
Stripper: What about you cutie?
:Stripper begins to hug friend and he tries to ignore her and concentrate on his food:
Stripper: Wanna go for a dance?
Him: ....*eating*... No. *eating*
Stripper: C'mon~ you're not busy let's go~
- And I quote...pretty angrily...
Him: EATING!



Poor stripper.

2. So we paid for my friend to get a lapdance cause he wanted one and on the ride home:

:Friend puts hands to his face and inhales deeply cause they smell like stripper...like really deeply:
Friend: I'm NEVER going to wash my hands.

HAHA

So we stayed there for two hours or so and it was whatever to burn time/cash and went home. And I slept in a bed with another man - who smelled of stripper.


It's kinda ironic that all this occurred as my true destination was to go to a church event to send off missionaries =X. Lala predicting possible lecture from sister. Ahh I'm human leave me alone. I would have never thought that my weekend would have turned out like it did but oh well, something to blog about. The service in itself was really good, I was very glad to be there.

Apart from my weekend.... KIM JUNG IL AND CREW...WHAT IS UP!?!?!?

"Any hostile act against our peaceful vessels including search and seizure will be considered an unpardonable infringement on our sovereignty and we will immediately respond with a powerful military strike,"

POWERFUL MILITARY STRIKE how do you even say that in korean?

You might as well say: "Hey, we got bombs we shouldn't have, and if you check for 'em we're totally using 'em and the other people."

I mean yeah one might argue it's for the sake and pride of the country when authorities are overstepping their boundaries but... hello? You know you're in the world's eye if you have nothing to hide then why not?

And something random I thought I'd throw in: Epidermodysplasia verruciformis. Lol probably the longest word I'll ever use (I just copy pasted it I have yet to attempt saying it)

Virus that makes people look like trees? WTFFFfffff. I'm not going to embed cause the clip picture it nastay.

John Conner is Batman

*Spoiler Alert*

I'm not critic cause I really love movies for the entertainment value.... This is simply my take on a movie.

So we watched the 12 o'clock showing of 'Terminator Salvation'.

The company was good, seats were good, the actual seat that you sit in reclined (that's always a plus), the weather was nice. The movie was sub par. It was literally Batman, MI, Transformers mashed up into one movie. I mean - I always manage to have a great time in a movie whether it's good or horrendous. Only cause if it's really good, I'll watch intently like anyone else and...watch the movie. But if it's bad I'm pretty obnoxious because I take bad movie as a sign to do and make w/e noise I want.

And I must say...naked Arnold cameo - with his chiseled body from 1980's panned across the screen means you can laugh.

Some other things were... things like - "Wtf? That motorcycle had a USB port. (Conner plugs his little computer into it via USB cable) WHY does a killing computer piloted motorcycle have a USB port? And why is it Italian? ...Killer computer got taste." Which is funny cause all the humans were driving around really jacked up American cars (lots o Jeep Wranglers) and here killer computer is sending out killer Dukati's.

And you'll notice that Christian Bale really REALLY likes his Batman voice. Whenever the mood got serious and the conversation were to become intense, Batman came out. I mean it's really hard to take him seriously when he uses it w/o the mask. Then again...it's kind of hard to take him seriously when he's using his real voice too lol. The following is Bale flippin' out on set cause some camera guy walked onto set or something.



I think he shoulda yelled at him in Batman voice =P

The movie IS entertaining though, so can't really bash on it. Moon Bloodgood is a hottie in it too. She pulls off the whole "hottay that can kick ur ass" real well. My friend thought the pregnant chick in the movie was hot though.... Lol thought I'd throw that in there.


Since I'm talking about movies...A really REALLY GOOD movie was "Ip Man" <== Bruce Lee's master in real life!. It's a kung fu movie and I'd say the best. The fighting is straight up so no special effects but it's SO SICK. I figured I'd post a clip. So Japan occupied China. Basically, people go to fight for bags of rice cause the Japanese General likes watching martial arts, and Ip Man's friend lost fighting 3 people (for 3 bags) and got shot. Ip Man is like WTF! cause the shiny hair guy brought him and the Chinese people there "as a favor" and the Wing Chun ass kicking ensues. This scene alone isn't able to capture how good this movie is...but I just like watching fighting anyway lol.




On a side note from movies my Chinese friend and I were talking and he was asking me "Why do all Korean guys beat up their girlfriends? I've never met a Chinese guy that's done that." Talked about treating women and what not culturally and stereotypically, Chinese people respect them blah blah blah.

As a Korean I'd like to say this is untrue and .....

Ever hear the quote:

"Behind every (insert 'great' 'successful' etc.) man, there is a (insert) woman."

Well fortune cookie fortune representative for China says differently:



ALWAYS WHAT CHINESE COOKIE?! ALWAYS WHAT?!?!

AFK recap

Yeah, so it's been a while since I've updated only cause it was finals week and I had a final in every freakin' class I was taking.

Being a finance major you'd think the hardest i took would have something remotely to do with duration and convexity of bonds and hedging futures and what not. Nope.



It was on this crap. 150+ Small plants, shrubs, trees, grasses, weeds, insects.

Is that a weed? Is it grass? What kind of grass is it? When does this grass flower? Cool-season? Warm-season? EFF YOU FCKIN GRASS SD:GUFS:UDF*(WE&UI#JBKFUW*E)&UIJDF

Other than that finals was finals. It's funny, I think I've studied the most at libraries this semester than any in the past and it's interesting to see who you meet there. It was nice being in the whole "SH! This is a library!" environment but... dude there's people that don't know how to whisper. I had to practice whispering in kindergarten cause my class was based on criteria of things were you and weren't able to do by the end (tying shoes (Double rabbit ears), zippering jackets (I had trouble witht his one), opening umbrellas, skipping and yes pushing lessons from father) lol I sound like I went to an assisted learning school or something -_-

Y'know those people that make the "whispering voice" tone but the volume is just as loud? So when they talk it's even MORE annoying.... bastard girl in library.

And then there was the kid who had a butterfly knife and would randomly spin it around while he was reading. His nerdy lackey was effectively mesmerized by his "crazy knife skills". Wow, okay loser. "K let's go study. Hold on...forgot my book. Sec, let me get my butterfly knife while we're at it." I know I judge.

Other than that there hasn't been really anything awesome about this break... there WAS an incident at my friend's work place though... There was a panel covering piping in the ground and this girl who was on the heavy side.... way on the heavy side broke through the panel and needed to be rescued out...LOLOLOL

So instead - I will make a tribute to the man who got me through finals.



I dunno... there's something awesome about being able to be a rapper and not have to be all thug gangstuh. Mc Mong is all about it - he's freakin' hilarious!

Fight Night

So I was talking to a friend of mine about old memories we clearly remember and for some reason the conversation shifted to getting into fights. We were discussing recent happenings that occurred on campus and it was interesting cause it made me think of the first actual fist fight I got into in the 4th grade.

I was a pretty skinny, dorky kid back in elementary school. And I remember for no reason I was supposed to fight this kid named Jason Son. Looking back I think it was the white kids that instigated it cause at lunch it always "Jason said this. Doug said that. Oh here we go! After school! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!" Bastards.

SO - we're supposed to meet in the parking lot of a catholic school across the street from my old house. I remember I was wearing a white Georgetown? Hoyas sweat shirt and I walked over. four of the white kids that instigated it decided to come watch and Jason came running down the hill like some sort of hero. And SO it began.

Confrontation

You know how it goes. People circle up and you two are pitted at each other. I'm staring at this tubby Korean kid thinking "Man, I used to try to help him when he just came from Korea." Start pushing each other and then the fight ensues.

The Fight

It was lame. The ground was kinda muddy and he was trying to kick me like you do in Tae Kwon Do class for like 15 minutes. But the thing was when I stepped back from his kick it would splash mud on my shirt so it was all wtf. So I'd run in screaming and flail at him and I think I mostly hit his back cause I was too scared to hit him in the face. And then, he punched me in the lip and I started to bleed a little and the crowd went "Ohhhh~" And then for a split second when you realize what just happened that rage kinda just happens and then I hit him in the nose. WHAT A BEAST!

Afterwards

A couple minutes after the fight ended I ran home and cried. I mean - I don't know I think the first time you punch someone or hurt someone with your hands out of hate it hurts inside. Call me a pansy, WHATEVER. I go home and I'm all dirty and for some STUPID reason I wanted sympathy from my dad so I acted all hurt BUT victorious. Keyword: Victorious. (I was trying to be the wounded hero. The newly scarred veteran son! - y'know all dramatic...UGH) I thought daddy would take son into his arms and commend him for his epic battle and ask for a recount of the blows that were exchanged. The tale of VICTORY! And his reaction:

"AISH! Next time, bring a bat and hit him with it! Don't you have any common sense?! Are you stupid?!"

DON'T YOU HAVE ANY COMMON SENSE LITTLE BOY! BRING A BAT TO YOUR FIGHTS STUPID!

AS:FOigas;doif never try to squeeze a little pity outta Papa Cho. I mean c'mon idiot. This is the guy who gave you pushing lessons for 2 hours when you were 6 cause you didn't push your friend back after school when he saw you get pushed.

So that was my first fight. I've had a couple afterwards but for some reason I really remember that day. It's weird.

Oh yeah the fight we were talking about on campus:

My friend is going to the gym and at the gym a white guy and a black guy start going at it. For some reason they end up on the ground due to grappling or whatever (why do people always end up on top of each other on the ground during a fight?) and the white guy grabs the black guy's face (cause white guy is on his back) and black guy IMMEDIATELY cups and clutches onto white guy's nuts and warns him "Don't make me do it... DON'T make me do it!" ....asd;asdfasd HAHA
