As usual, I will post my pictures on the blog before facebook.




Kevin and I went to Sokcho over the weekend. This picture was taken in a bus.  I have no idea where we were.



Taken with Bubman before we left.  May be he was telling me not to take a picture.  Oh well, it's not like I ever listen to him anyways.



Kevin sleeping comfortably. Olympus has horrible focus... I swear I focused on his face!



Toilet for handicapped, toilet for foreigners. 



Finally at sokcho.  The reason why we took the bus for 2 hours was to eat grilled fish.  Do you see the place that says "전문점" on the far left, in white?  That is the place.


Honestly though, the fish was a bit disappointing.  It was much better the first 3 times I tried it.



Fish hell.


The squid soon-dae was absolutely amazing though:




Rest of the pictures are just us fooling around.  Enjoy!

I hate my iPad

It's official.  I hate my ipad.  For the past two weeks, I was completely swooned by its ability to entertain me for hours and hours.  I was able to show videos and pictures to friends, browse through magazines on the subway, listen to music on a bus, play drums with garage band, connect to the internet, facetime/skype with family and friends back home, and play games in between. It was everything I ever dreamed of.

But the big problem was, I didn't like who I was becoming.  I mean, do I have innate geeky tendencies which is why I like to play with gadgets like ipads?  or have I become a geek because I play with gadgets like ipads so often?  I don't know, but I didn't like the idea of becoming a person who stared at a screen for hours on end.  We have one life and to spend 95% of it on eating, shitting, sleeping, working, and watching a screen is truly depressing.

Then what kind of person should you become so that your life isn't depressing?  I don't know.  In honesty, it's all quite depressing at the end, since we're merely a dust speck in the universe.  But I would like to be an important dust speck.  You know, the dust speck that made a difference?  The dust speck who loved and was loved by other dust specks. 

So today when I go back home, I shall not turn on the computer nor open my ipad.  I shall instead play my bass, which is also somewhat useless if you think about it.  But all art is useless unless you're a some sort of dealer or contractor, and there lies the beauty of art - to appreciate something with no ulterior motives but beauty.  When I get bored of doing this, I shall... eat chicken and drink lonely by myself... sigh.

My first post on the ipad

Yes folks, this is my first post written on my ipad. I thought i woiuld write more once i got the ipad, but thats simply not true. In addition, i will not capitalise any of my i's, just because its damn annoyig to do so (and yes, its the wrong its, but adding an apostrophy is also damn annoimng on this thing.)

I have this long elaborate piece about my relationship with writing, but ill write more when im on a keyboard. This just feels to much like text messaging, and its pretty much impossible to have extended intelligent conversation on text messages.

Ps by the way, i got the grren smart cover. Anti-climactic, i know.
