It Has Come To My Attention…

…That a certain someone thinks I don’t update as much as I should. It’s quite the truth: I desire the posting insanity. But these days, time is being spent on a lot of less meta-y things, to the point where recalling past events is becoming a chore.

And in some cases, this is good. It’s so good that past issues that don’t matter as much are being forgotten. I finally feel human.

But going back to the reasons for the delay…

Dean, a “young” “old” friend (@Dean: Pwned.) from college is back on campus and is living with me for the rest of the semester as he prepares for life anew in a far away, magical land. Okay, he’s applying for grad school elsewhere. I’m having a great time catching up, as well as making some new amazing memories. I just need to get a camcorder to record the memories that are being made currently… I definitely feel my directorial debut coming up soon… as soon as everything else I want to get done gets accomplished.

Oh, and that same kid is learnin’ me some Mandarin, while in return, I try to teach him some of my broke Korean. I had given up on even trying to learn Mandarin, this amazingly rich but difficult language, but I hope to try and learn a few bits here and there. I hope that one day I’ll be able to just understand the language: I don’t think I’ll be able to speak it. Ever. Intonations scare the crap out of me.

My passion for music has flared up again. Rock Band definitely lit a fire underneath my desire to “grow” as a “drummer”, and so in about a week and a half, I should be well on my way to diving further into that world with Rock Band 2 and the Ion Drum Rocker. The love of guitar has also increased this past week, and I hope to continue to ride this wave until it settles again, just like last time. And I’ve got Matt to thank for this one. So much to learn, it’s crazy.

And finally, the web development projects. It’s going slow. I pick it up from now and then, but I still don’t even have the wireframe diagrams down. This sucker is getting harder and harder by the second, and I’m not even adding any features. I feel like I have a general concept of the Models, but it’s getting crazy when I add the “Spec” Model. More on this, hopefully later.

And the catalyst in this arena, is the same kid that’s prodding me to write this freaking post in the first place, Jong-Sun.

Wait, hold up. Is this a modified list? These posts are getting kinda boring.

I know. If you don’t know me in real life, this is completely irrelevant. I guess if you really wanted to learn more about this random kid you found through a Google search, you could.

And even if you do, it’s really not that exciting. I just sit in front of screens all day long, with a short break at the gym, followed by more sitting in front of screens.

Moar Content Plz

But these posts are so easy to write… I got like 4 hours of sleep yesterday, and I’m not really feeling the argumentative Josh Kim coming out to pontificate. And that tends to be the case.

Hmm… some delicious content… where are you? I get angry at enough things, but it seems like whenever I go back to the keyboard, I forget… or my wrists/forearms hurt so much that I don’t really feel like putting to words.

Podcast? Videoblogging? I don’t know. That may be overkill.

I hope that one day the content will just seep out of me and be caught by this blog. When that day comes again, I hope you’ll be back.

Now I’m going to bed. So frickin’ tired.

The Problem With These Posts

These posts start with a point. Then it goes somewhere else. If I’m really tired, I won’t edit this and just shoot this out into the World Wide Web.

Now I’m getting caught with singing along Tenacious D’s “Wonderboy”. Figures.

And so ends yet another haphazardly put together post.

Or was it?

Dang it, I’m tired. I’m not looking over the last 2nd half of this post.

Busy Like You Wouldn’t Believe

When did my workload triple? Not sure, but it’s been slowly ramping up in the past two weeks.

I enjoy work when it does what it’s supposed to. When Active Directory for the university goes down… when Google Mail even goes down… when pretty much NOTHING works as it should and you realize it many hours later… that makes you feel like garbage.

But alas, when it works, it works.

I haven’t had an hour to sit down and even start the long awaited Month in Review. Heck, I still haven’t sent off my 95% finished taxes. Such a perfectionist… I’m probably going to start again just to see how fast I can complete it… not sure what that would prove, but alas, this post is indeed a brain dump.

I need to get out. I actually need some office space. I’m realizing too quickly that the bedroom isn’t the best place to set up shop for freelancing. While for some, it’s doable, but man… I think college banged it into me: Need to go to a Library or elsewhere to get things done.

Not sure why that is: I probably have less tools available to me when I’m not at home, but it almost forces me to take only what is necessary when I do work elsewhere. Oh, it must be the planning factor I enjoy so much when I have to pack my stuff to go somewhere else to work.


I’m realizing there’s a benefit to figuring out and knowing what you’re weaknesses are.

You know what to target. You know what to do. I’m blessed with a keen sense of knowing where I suck.

See that’s the funny thing, though: One of my many weaknesses is the failure to act.

But if I failed to act in finding out failures, that wouldn’t be me.

Someone just delete’d something that they weren’t supposed to and left something dangling. Oy.


Are you serious? Tomorrow’s Friday?

Who am I kidding. I have no weekends.
