Inspiriation At Last

I finally feel inspired! I've been trying to write a song for a long time but it has not been working out. Finally, the other day, I was watching a lot of horror trailers on Slashfilm.com. I guess it's because it is nearing Halloween. Then I saw a short film about a black hole on Slashfilm.com. THEN IT CAME TO ME!

I'm going to make a short horror film!

Last night I was super excited because I came up with this brilliant idea but I had no idea what to make it about. I only had one quote in my head that D.Money told me. "Horror films are movies where at the end, you are just left with a disturbed feeling under your skin. It doesn't necessarily have to be violent but just gets you thinking."

AND since I'm on a no-budget (gagagagaga play on low-budget, but sadly it's true), I have to be SUPER creative in creeping out the audience. So, last night I was thinking but nothing came to me and I went to sleep sad and lonely.

THEN today in Hebrew class, THE PERFECT IDEA DAWNED ON ME! heehee. I don't have a title but here's a synopsis:

"The film is about a girl and her boyfriend."


MUAHAHAHAHA. I left it super ambiguous for a reason. It is for all of you to anticipate it! or all three who read my blog. hohoho. I'm realistic so I know it will take a couple months at least but I'm inspired.

Hrm. Speaking of projects. I have one other unfinished project. My Deadman Wonderland Music Video. I wonder when I'll get that done.

I need my EOS 5D MARK II camera! Roughly 3 thousand dollars. :( One day before I go to Japan. I can do so much with it!


PostScript. I think I get high off studying. It's weird. It's very specific.

Finishing Homework in the Library on Sunday Night


It is a beautiful feeling. Right after you finish your last problem, just packing up all your stuff and slowly walking towards the exit of the library is a very beautiful thing. Unfortunately, this is the first weekend when I went home satisfied from finishing homework. The long walk home is one of the best walks you will ever have.

While I was doing homework, I felt a sudden wave of nostalgia. I was taking a SHORT break; I was looking at pictures on facebook. My friend had a picture of a me and a couple of friends in highschool. I did not know at the time but as I was thinking about it, I
think I figured out why I had this amazingly refreshing feeling.

I think it was because everything changes except studying. No matter how old I am, or how much I change, I will always have to study. I always study in the computer labs at BIOLA. And contrasting with this constant factor (math term!), are all the friends and relationships and events that have changed in my life.

In freshmen year, I remember studying in the computer lab. I also remember chilling a lot with Leah Lee, going to Cerritos clusters lead by Andrew Sasuke Kim, getting to know Simon Chung, a dear friend of mine (hohoho).

In sophomore year, I remember studying in the computer lab. I also remember chilling a lot with Younjoo Lee, getting extremely close to Simon Chung, my dear Cer
ritos Clusters slowly dying off, not chilling at all with Leah Lee, making beautiful music with Rebekah Baird, and chilling a bit more with Ju Cho, Rui Guo, Daros, and Buren.

Finally, in Junior year, I study in the computer lab. I also play intermurals Volleyball with Leah The-Beast Lee (a new nickname I dubbed her), I regretfully chill less with Simon Chung, I room with Buren Luk, I see a lot more of D.Money (Daros, who I think is an awesome person.).

These are only things that I experience in daily life. There are my dear highschool friends who I don't chill with too much but they are still very close to my heart. Yoojin, whom I respect and adore. DaKimi, who is always a pleasure to chill with. Since we do not meet too often, I see changes in their lives every time I see them. Sarah Cho who is seriously like a my
sterious figure in my life right now. I have not communicated directly with her for around two or so years but it seems like she is near.

My heart aches a lot as I write about these changes in my life. I am reminiscing about all the things that I have been blessed by. However, I rejoice greatly because I have so much to look forward to. And at the end of everything, there is heaven.

If you've read this far, props.

God is good. So good.

No hard feelings, Michelle. Since she's cool, she shouldn't have any. gagaga.

Seasons Premieres

There are some pretty good shows this season.

Glee is a show about misfits and Community is a show about misfits. I guess people nowadays are feeling more and more like misfits. So in order to satisfy their lives, the geniuses at television entertainment decided to make more shows about misfits!

Regardless, they are very entertaining shows from what I've seen so far.

Man, I truly am a narcissist. gagagaga.

PostScript. I hate eight-o-clock classes. It gives me stress thinking about it.

Prayer in the Computer Lab

Today, I spent a considerable amount of time studying in the computer lab. Actually, I'm still in the computer lab. I feel spent and tired. I was also feeling a sense of not wanting to study without God. I was wondering how I could do this then on my way back from the bathroom, I saw another fellow just deep in prayer in front of his computer. Suddenly, I felt rather light-hearted and happy. :D

I know some people are going back to school and I say, "Study hard."

And never forget to pray. Prayer will get you through those long lonely nights without love and a lot of homework and studying. I like God. A lot.

PostScript. I think Conan O' Brien's monologues are getting a lot better.

Humor in Hebrew

My Hebrew teacher who is an elderly white fellow could not tell Arthur and Cameron apart today in class. Arthur and Cameron are both black. Arthur is a forty-some year old who always wears dress shirt and sits in the front. Cameron is a twenty-some year old who sits in the back with a t-shirt. But to give my teacher some slack, they both DO wear glasses. Apparently, I was the only one in the entire class that thought it was funny.

More W&Whale. :D

Appreciating The Anatomic Sciences

So, I mentioned in earlier posts that I liked observing creepily at people. I found a rather pleasant pattern to the people I observe. They are usually beautiful or decently unbeautiful women. I love staring at beautiful people for two main reasons.
  1. I love appreciating the sheer amount of beauty and diversity that God has created. It shows that he is truly a skilled sculptor and that he has an imagination and creative ability that we humans can't even imagine or come close to matching. From the thousands of perfect noses combined with thousands of perfect eyes and mouths and facial structure to go along with those noses. It's all quite beautiful. I don't see how artists can't see the beautiful creativity of God in the faces of everyday beautiful people. Honestly, I think they're all to proud and jealous of God's skills. So they pretend to worship only art just to spite God.
  2. The second reason ties with the reason why I stare at decently unbeautiful people. It is to find imperfections. Because although God created all beautiful people, then are still, at the core, just people. Humans are sadly imperfect beings. So I try to find these imperfections in the most beautiful of women. A girl with beautiful face but frighteningly skinny legs, or a girl with a perfect nose and eyes and ears and chin but strangely shaped cheek bones. The imperfections are as countless as the girls on the earth.
Now I said that the second reason ties with the reason I stare at decently unbeautiful girls. I do so because just like beautiful people and their imperfections, even the ugliest of girls have their moments of perfections. And I try to find this aspect of the decently unbeautiful girls.

Just to clarify, I AM STRICTLY TALKING OF THE PHYSICAL ASPECTS OF GIRLS! None of this junk about the insides of people being beautiful. Honestly, I think it's an insult to say that the inside beauty is everything. It means that you are saying that ugly people are in fact ugly and that's all they'll ever be. I honestly believe that ugly people can become beautiful. If not, then I would be giving up hope in myself. gagagagaga.

Anywho, as I was saying, I try to find small physical beauty in ugly girls and I always find it. Be it perfectly shaped ankles (believe it or not, ankles are important to me and a lot of other men), or a most brightening and beautiful smile. The perfections just like the imperfections are endless.

I know for sure that I'm not going to marry anybody nearly as beautiful as Kate Beckinsale, whose nose is kind of bent in a slightly strange way, I know that my wife will be beautiful.

PostScript. I need a job. Craigslist.com? I don't know. I need Jesus.

Math and God and God in Math



I found today that I love algebra. At the same time, I found out I hate graphs. I don't know what section of math this forsaken thing is in.

Anywho, I love algebra because it simplifies things. It can turn this:



into


I love turning something retardedly messy into something simple.

I just like the thought of me turning something almost unbearable to look at, and turning it into a very simple relatable number. It gives me a sense of control.

Graphs on the other hand...are sucks. They are so complicating and even simple ones tend to go on forever.

This monkey for example:


is actually this in reality.


IT GOES ON FOREVER!!!!!

I put it in these terms:

"At the end of this graph, God is there." - Richard The-Emperor Chung

That's right my friends. When you guys find the ending point of this graph, you will find God. Or you can find God by reading a book called the Bible.

Anywho, I think that THIS is why I dislike graphs so much. I can't control it. I can't control where it goes or when it ends or anything. Also to add to the utter feeling of having no control whatsoever, there is an infinity between each point on the graph. There are an infinite amount of numbers (or number of numbers [I hate you Simon]) between each point. If you give me any point close to 1, I am 100% certain that I can find another number closer to 1 than your number. It just goes on forever.

So there are an infinite amount (or number [I hate you Simon]) of infinities that go on to infinity. This is enough to make me feel like I am lost in the darkest depths of space. This is also how big God is. Except he's way bigger than and infinity of infinities that goes on to infinity. Inconceivable.

That is why I feel like it is strange at times when all these smart people try to disprove God. One would think that the smart people would be the ones to realize truly how big God is and that he might be out of their league. Sometimes, I think they do it because they don't like the idea of there being something that they cannot understand despite all their smart brains and intelligence. It's really a shame though.

PostScript. I'm going to record Esperanza Rising in the Empire of Daisies soon. And afterwards, when Rebekah Baird has time, we're going to start performing in the Orange Room! So when we do, I hope a lot of people come out. And spread the word about A Bird In The Empire. I already shamelessly advertise this band too much. But don't worry, it won't stop me. :D
