Leveraging Extreme: The Josh Kim Story, Part 1

I guess this wasn’t brought to my attention enough: I like to take things to the extreme. Let’s point out some of the examples in my life RIGHT NOW that show how incredibly insane I am. And while I’m quite insane, I want to use that insanity for something good.

On Diet and Exercise

I go to WIMPE daily. There is no question about this one, rain or shine… minus the crazy snowstorm this past month. Even if there’s an injury (right biceps before, and just recently, left biceps), I’ll try to work around it. Heck, once, I ran without shoes because I was wearing my casual ones.

A friend of mine (Mike Cho… more like an older brother…) told me about the Boxer’s Diet… and today’s day three of this crazy Chicken/Broccoli diet. Why am I doing this? I don’t know why. Because it’s EXTREME.

Broccoli

Whey whey whey. Ever since last summer… I followed in Dean Knox’s footsteps on this one. I still haven’t finished the 5 pound jug I bought last year… but I’ve been drinking it daily, at least once.

Why the heck am I so focused on health and fitness? I’m not sure… but this is one area in my life that can a little less extreme… so that it can make way for:

Dvorak (Not The Troll…)

While I was typing up Philippians, I suddenly got the urge to pick up this keyboard layout. Pictures!

Dvorak Keyboard - In the Middle

Dvorak Keyboard - Finished

Mind you, this was in the middle of Grainger, 2nd floor. It probably drove quite a few people to insanity with all the clicking. It’s actually quite easy to pop your keys off, I found out (the hard way… I broke one of the two hinges where the “c” used to be, but it still works just fine). I guess I’m going to be keeping this computer around for a while… unless I’m going to have to throw it back into QWERTY when I sell it on eBay.

Back to the point as to why this is extreme: I wanted to pick this up since I found out about it during high school. It’s probably going to take me like a month (OoO… it’s another goal?!), but I think in the end of it all, it’ll make me a better typer. (As if I’m not l33t enough…)

Chalupa!

Chalupa!

It was love at first taste. Mike Liao, Jon Liu, and I went up to Marketplace to shop and have dinner. Oh my goodness… why is this thing so good?

Just one day later, I had to drive over to Taco Bell to get this.

Why is this included on the post that describes my extremeness? I’m actually… craving it… RIGHT NOW. But the thing is, my extremeness towards my diet is going to kill that craving all to quickly.

All that will remain will be two $5 charges on my Chase debit card.

These suckers are EXPENSIVE. $2.29?! Are you serious?! But… that shell is money.

And So On…

Continued later. For now, I’ll let you judge me incessantly.
