The Legacy
If you don’t already know, a huge reason why I play bass is because 2 of my older cousins, Ed and Yoon Kyu, played bass through my childhood. They’re now both married and faithfully serving the church as a deacon and a pastor. Now that Ed’s older sister, Janice has kids, I decided to continue [...]

fixin’ stuff
This is kinda random, but you know, I love fixing things. Since I was a young kid, I’d break apart toys just to see if I could fix them. By middle school, I was immersed into the paintball culture. I spent hours working on my gun–shortening my trigger pull, polishing the internals, upgrading parts. In [...]

confession #521
Today during our last officers meeting, I found a straightening iron on the ground. I plugged it in, and while we discussed plans for this Saturday’s ACF Christmas banquet, I straightened my hair..

inadequate
This morning as I hopped into the shower, I realized that I forgot my towel back at home (Catharpin). I quickly jumped back out and walked to my closet and pulled out my beach towel. For you freshmen, this is the towel that I let you guys use when you shower at my place.
