Friends

We generally take things we already have for granted. One of those things are our friends. You will generally never realize this until you've hit a point in your life where you really needed someone to lean on. For me, I am thankful that I have such great friends. It's not a large group, it's a tight knit group that I can rely on and just throw all of my problems and in return receive encouragement.

Don't take your friends for granted. Buy them a drink, and say "Hey i'm thankful you are a part of my life."

Song of the Day: 2AM - Like Me

내 마음이다.



하루종일 니 생각만 하다가
한 가닥 눈물이 멋대로 주르륵 흐른다
걸음걸음 니 모습이 밟혀서
일을 하다가도 나도 모르게 또 흐른다

(우후후후후) 노래를 불러도
(우후후후후) 거리를 걸어도
(우후후후후) 온통 니 생각 뿐인데

너도 나처럼 이렇게 아픈지
너도 나처럼 눈물 나는지
너도 하루종일 이렇게 추억에 사는지 꼭 나처럼
억지라도 웃을 일 참 많은데
태엽 인형처럼 주어진 일처럼 웃는다

(우후후후후) TV를 보아도
(우후후후후) 친구를 만나도
(우후후후후) 온통 니 생각 뿐인데

너도 나처럼 이렇게 아픈지
너도 나처럼 눈물 나는지
너도 하루종일 이렇게 추억에 사는지 꼭 나처럼
매일을 웃으니까

웃는 모습만 보여주니까 내가 행복한 줄만 아나 봐
어떻게 웃어 내가 어떻게 웃어 니가 없는데
웃어도 웃어도 눈물이 또 흘러
너도 나처럼 이렇게 아픈지
너도 나처럼 눈물 나는지
너도 하루종일 이렇게 추억에 사는지 꼭 나처럼

Levitated Mass LACMA



Went to Shin Sen Gumi in Gardena with a few friends, then went to Tapioca Express to pick up my car. However, we ended up getting grounded by cops for 30 minutes, all exits were closed due to a transportation of a big piece of rock.

Apparently it was a big deal. The transportation was reportedly a 10 million dollar project. The trucks were rigged specifically to transport this huge boulder across cities to LACMA (Los Angeles City Museum of Arts). It could only be moved at night, taking specifics routes that allowed for the oversized truck, and can only move at speeds of 8mph.

It also gathered quite a crowd of Art buffs. It was sheer coincidence to see this piece of rock moving through the streets because they had to take apart power lines and traffic signals to make room for the trucks.

Levitated Mass by artist Michael Heizer is composed of a 456 foot long slot carved into the earth, over which is placed a 340 ton granite boulder. As the viewer descends through the monumental slot, the boulder appears to rise.

Through Heizer originally conceived of Levitated Mass in 1968, he only discovered an appropriate boulder decades later, in RIverside County, CA. At 340 tons, the boulder is one of the largest megaliths moved since ancient times.

Levitated Mass speaks to the expanse of art history, from ancient traditions of creating artworks from monolithic stone to modern forms of abstract geometries and cutting edge feats of engineering.

Movie Review: The Blind Side

If you like football you will want to watch this movie.

It came out back in 2009, but I just recently watched it. This is a true story about the life of Michael Oher, who is the offensive lineman for the Baltimore Ravens. There was some good acting involved and a touching story.

Rating: 9/10

Ping Pong

I remember when i first played the game, i didn't enjoy it. Now that i think about it, that was probably because i sucked at it and couldn't return any of the volley's. Time passed and there was a ping pong table at my old job and i used to play during lunch with a co-worker. As i started to learn how to play, it became more enjoyable - and now i like ping pong.

Yesterday, Pae and I played for 3 hours at a local place we found in Fullerton near Imperial and Harbor. $5/per person for 1 hour, or $9/per person for all day. It was a great workout. Will def. do it again. Anybody else like ping pong?

Dream High 2 Fail

Ugh. Bad casting. Bad acting. Not so great story line. It's so bad I'm not going to bother writing a full review. Bottom line, don't waste your time watching it.
