Take a deep breath, release stress, please rest
Be blessed by the beat and the essence of these texts
Peace kept with what the deity left: respect
And let the breeze lead me in these steps, yo we set to reach the
Peak lest we meet death, terrestrial – at the
Sweet behest of the celestial decree – yes
Repeat “yes” we defeat weakness
Deep breath, feel the steeze in effect, and let the breeze refresh…
Freshhhhhh |

I think I'm done with smoking pot. At least for the remainder of the summer. Not for any ideological reasons or anything, but simply because in the aftermath of destroying my body and mind during and after EDC, I've resolved to start treating my body better. Also, with me starting school and whatnot, I don't think I can really afford to have the sluggish, lazy feelings that I get the day after smoking.
I've been doing pretty well so far. Short of the food that I get from work, I've been pretty successful in preparing all of my own food, which, considering the amount that I usually eat out, is saying quite a bit. Been sick this past week, but as soon as I fully recover, going to try to exercise every day too. Actually been studying my school books for a change, and I've been trying to improve my Korean through this Korean language book and upping my intake of Korean dramas (lol). I'm actually able to go to sleep at night since I'm keeping relatively productive these days.
Aja aja! Time to get my shit together, son.
On a side note... I miss old school Kpop. All of the new stuff sounds the same. Random nonsensical English mixed together with electronic beats. Does nobody else notice that practically everything by Big Bang sounds exactly the same?
Come back H.O.T.! |

People are so picky. After I finished shopping in the Westwood area, there was this homeless woman walking around looking through trash cans. She asked for some food, and I offered her an apple I just bought. She declined and asked for something else. Honestly, wtf. What is the world coming to when the homeless are picky about what they're eating?
Christian Bale is really cute with his kid.
I like feeling healthy. The weeks before a rave, as a precaution so that I don't keel over on the dance floor, I make an active effort to get myself in shape. I usually eat healthier, exercise more, and for the most part, stop smoking. Then the day after a rave, I usually resume my normal habits and get fat again. It's a neverending cycle.
My yuhjah chingoo is in Spain for a month. I miss her.
School is tiring. Working in the morning, head home for a bit to work out, and then immediately taking off for SMC for 3 hour classes. It's weird. Even though I'm being a lot more productive with my days, I'm still having trouble sleeping. What the f-------...?
EDC in 3 more days. Yoji Biomehanika. Been wanting to see this guy for 6-7 years. Last rave for a while. |

Peace movement now and days is so blatantly in your face and hate filled.
Today, I was stuck at a left turn intersection for 15 minutes because there was a "Free Iran" demonstration/protest going on, and the members of the protest felt it more important to march across the cross walks, yelling and provoking cars into "honking for peace." than allowing vehicles at the intersection to pass. So what if I honk? So what if anyone honks? Who that honks is really going to make any sort of active difference?
Driving through the streets of LA, honking like a madman, having all of your "activist" friends wave signs outside of your BMW convertible doesn't make you an activist. It makes you a fucking hypocritical tool. Where's the sacrifice?! Where's the change?! You whores.
And so much hate! God. Whatever happened to loving your enemy? Whatever happened to turning the other cheek? Since when does fighting injustice involve so much hatred and bigotry?
Fucking people, man. We're fucking crazy. |

Served Matt Stone, co-creator of South Park, at work yesterday. He tipped 20 dollars for a 50 dollar meal. I didn't realize who he was until after he left. I should've asked him to do the voice of Butters. =(

I still hate the smell of weed.
Man, what is up with all these personality quizzes and "Which character are you?" quizzes going around on Facebook? What is this... junior high?
6 months and one day! Lovely. =)
Today, (technically yesterday) was beautiful. It really was. What a pleasant day to be alive.
I'm going to try to start reading again. I've been way too complacent over the past couple months in anything somewhat academic and my brain's just atrophied like crazy.
The following is an excerpt from The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. For those of you who don't know anything about it, the book is a work of Christian satire that documents a series of letters written by a senior demon (Screwtape) to a younger demon (Wormwood) who he is mentoring. Each letter contains advice from Screwtape on how to secure the damnation of Wormwood's target, a man referred to as the Patient.
"... Above all, do not attempt to use science (I mean, the real sciences) as a defence against Christianity. They will positively encourage him to think about realities he can't touch and see. There have been sad cases among the modern physicists. If he must dabble in science, keep him on economics and sociology; don't let him get away from that invaluable 'real life'. But the best of all is let him read no science but to give him a grand general idea that he knows it all and that everything he happens to have picked up in casual talk and reading is 'the results of modern investigation.' ..."
~ C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters
Quoted mostly because of the last sentence. Haha, how many fucking people do we know like that on either side of the argument? People whose convictions are essentially built up from random bits of hearsay? People who take philosophical and religious debates and discussions amongst like minded students and peers as an indicator of absolute truth? People who refuse to take the time to actually read into any sort of credible source as a foundation and basis for what they believe... or don't believe.
Educate yoself, foos!
Haha, but I'm every bit as a guilty as being arrogant and lazy as any of you, so who am I to speak? |

Attempted suicide is not cool.
Not related to anything in particular to current events in my life, but I've just been thinking about the past a lot these days.
It's been really hard lately to write honestly and candidly about life, my convictions, and God in relation to it all. I dunno why. It's weird because, as stupid as it sounds, I think that I really wanted up to step my blogging up a notch upon moving to LA. Reflections on class circles, existing while not exactly belonging in a UC environment, and things of the sort. Just writing on life, ya know? Alas... things haven't fared quite as I've hoped since I've moved to LA.
My brain's definitely atrophied quite a bit. I wasn't exactly a fantastic writer in the years past, but recent factors and circumstances have just stripped me any sort of eloquence I might have possessed before. I have the hardest time iterating my thoughts into coherent sentences, even in Livejournal. A combination of smoking an excessive amount of marijuana, dropping the occasional pill, not being in school, and as a whole, failing to challenge myself intellectually has really left me... Haha, for a lack of better word, stupid.
Aside from being unable to write coherently, I guess it's just hard to write honestly from a point of view that, frankly, is very different from what many former readers may have come to associated with me in the past. The core tenets of what I once believed are essentially still the same same. I still believe in God, still believe in the Trinity, still believe in Christian Hedonism, still believe in all that jazz. It's just... I don't know. I don't believe in it simultaneously, and for the most part, I really don't live by the same principles. Things have changed... I've changed, and I just have no idea how to reconcile everything.
I guess that's the main reason why I've stopped writing, sans the occasional one to two line entries. I don't know what I believe. I'm just this amorphous blob of beliefs that's always shifting and changing. I feel that whatever I may write down has no substance behind it because I simply don't know what I'll believe in a week.
Anyways, as shitty as the current reality is, with the economy going to hell, the influenza A (H1N1) outbreak (what is this, the Dark Ages?), and just the general stress and lackluster-ness brought about by the current living situation that I've put myself in, I'm rather okay with it all. Contrary to a lot of bad decisions I've been making in the past months and the incessant bitching that comes from my mouth, I really have been learning a lot about myself in light of all of the stress and problems brought about by the bitch we call life. Adversity ftw! It's just a nice reminder of how finite, weak, and human we all are. After all, what's life without a few dragons?
Also, I love my girlfriend. She ain't no fool, and she's rather cool. Like a spool of wool. She does not drool in the pool. Like Oksana Baiul, she kicks like a mule. Word. Check her music out. It is, as the cool kids say, "dope." http://haesuejo.com/media.html
And here's a nice quote by Emily Dickinson.
"We both believe, and disbelieve a hundred times an hour, which keeps believing nimble."

Earlier today, I lost my phone somewhere in my apartment. I picked up one of my roommate's phones and tried to find my contact information in it so that I could call my phone. Unable to find anything under Chu, I put my number in the phone and pressed call.
The name that came up? Ryan Kim.
