sorry, embed was disabled so ur gonna have to follow the link. 

47 years old.  FORTY SEVEN!!!  never been married.  never been KISSED!  can you imagine the kind of self image she had?  she was probably treated as a loser her entire life..from elementary school through her current age.  i bet nobody believed in her. 

yet she has the courage to walk up on stage and sing.  you can tell that she wasn't even expecting anything.  she just went up there to pursue her dream.  she knew she couldn't expect anything.  after 47 years of being lonely, what can you expect right?  but dang man, she RAWKED IT!! 


Easter service at Newsong was fantastic.  so thankful for such an awesome church that is always doing its best to be God's hands and feet.

so i'm playing in a baseball league at Griffith Park starting this saturday.  its an asian league made up of mostly koreans.  i can't quite figure out why i love baseball so much and why it holds such a sacred part of my heart.  i'm almost 32 now so the days of being able to play the game at a decent level are pretty much coming to an end.  not that i was ever very special to begin with, but i've definitely lost some zip on my fastball and i can't quite get the type of jumps that i used to get on defense. 

anyways, there's a funny part to this story.  we were practicing a couple weeks ago when i overheard a couple of the guys joking around and laughing.  i heard a few snippets of the dawson's creek song and some obligatory snickering.  i didn't really think much of it until keni turns to me and goes, "you know why they're laughing right?"  i said i had no idea and he proceeds to tell me that "DAWSON IS ON OUR TEAM." 

hahahhaahahahaha WHAT? 

after a few moments of disbelief, our captain confirms with me that indeed, DAWSON, otherwise known as James Van Der Beek, will be playing on my team this year.  i guess my captain works out with him at a gym or something.  i have no idea if he's any good but i guess we'll find out! 

honestly, this is the most random bit of weirdness that i think i have ever experienced.  i guess something like this is inevitable having lived for over 31 years.  i'd prefer winning the lotto, but whatever.



i've been hating xanga lately.  i've been trying to upload a few video clips for about a week and i can't get them to upload.  ridiculosity.  ridonkulous.  ridickilick.  leeedeeeecurous.



last wednesday in class, i was walking back to my desk after break.  apparently, i cut off a lady that was waiting to walk ahead of me.  honestlyhonestlyhonestlyHONESTLY!  i really don't think i cut her off.  and i really didn't even notice her in my line of sight.  anyways, as i walked, i heard this lady mutter, "well, YOUR'E excused!  pshhhhhhh!"  it took  me a split second to realize that it was directed at me so i turned around and saw this:


except, this lady was fatter/older and EVERYTHING from her clothes, eyebrows, fingernails, and underwear (jk), were a DEEP royal blue. 
when i realized she WAS speaking to me, i quickly apologized.  i wasn't quite sure why, but i sort of filled in the dots based on where she was standing.  she ROLLS HER EYES at me!!! 

now keep in mind that while i know we semenarians are extremely imperfect/flawed, and simply human beings, this lady's attitude was rather perplexing to me.  so in my desire to not create an air of uncomfortable drama in our class, i went up to her AGAIN and told her, "i'm so sorry.  i honestly didn't even see you and i had no idea i walked in front of you.  i really apologize." 

her reaction?  she replies with an ARROGANT, "apology accepted..," and she turns her ahead away from me!

dang man.  i was starting to burn.  so what do i do?  i went to my friend matt and told him what happened......and then we talked trash about her on gchat for the next 2 hours.  and that was it.  hahahhahaha.

anyways, that's it for tonight.  more to come soon.  hopefully....

godspeed
