Swingers

I just saw a VH1 News on Swingers and man that was the weirdest thing I have ever watched. Usually I sit in bed and find a show to watch to put me to sleep. So I was watching something boring on VH1 like Richest Celebrities or something. So it ends within a couple minutes and this documentary on Swingers comes on. If you don't know what swingers are, they are people that sleep with strangers. I thought swingers were usually ugly couples or singles that just wanted to get laid. Well on the contrary, all the girls looked really good. The first couple they showed were "veterans" in the scene and they were fit and very active. Next were novices which they called "newbies" and were more like any ordinary couple. The girl wanted to explore while the guy was ok with it as long as the other person was female. The last couple was a married couple who has a 16 year old boy. I thought this was the most interesting and bizarre because they were married and had a kid but then go meet strangers to get laid. And they would meet other swingers through the internet which I thought was bunch of old horny guys trying to rape you or some ugly chick. In fact, there's a whole group of good looking couples looking to hook up with other couples.

I guess people have different boundaries. I mean, I wouldn't mind someone physically interacting with my girl friend or wife, but the line is crossed when someone makes out or has sex with her. Basically the newbie couple had problems because the girl would go around and want to get laid while the guy was getting really jealous and thinking his girl was a slut. It was funny because there's this guy that runs these sex parties. And he was saying how some couples don't know how to distinguish the difference between sex and love to explain why the newbie couple had a hard time. I think most couples are ok with the fact that the other is attracted to another person. But seriously, I would be super uncomfortable with my wife screwing some other guy. I cracked up laughing when the newbie girl told her boyfriend, "you can hook up with some other girl and I won't be jealous" to make her boyfriend feel not so jealous of the whole situation.

I guess swingers identify themselves through sex as the same way gays and lesbians do. I guess if this is what you want to do and who you are I have no problem with it. But I really can't see a healthy relationship coming out of this. Honestly if you're married and need the anxiety to spice up your sexual life by screwing strangers, you probably need to grow up more.

Long Day of School

Had along day of school and really it was very boring. Went to two review sessions for the same class and didn't really get much out of either one. However, on the last one, the TA decided to pass around her notebook for people to sign in if they attended the review session. Apparently a student decided to take it because it had some notes and mostly her graduate work. I thought it was funny how a student was so desparate that he was willing to steal a notebook with useless information.

On a side note, my mom asked me if I have been seeing any girls which is no. She then lectured how I look so scrubby and that's the reason and blah blah. So then the next day she saw my phone with a picture of Cathy on the wallpaper. Yes, I have yet to change it. Well she thought I was lying to her the entire time and all I could do is tell her with a big smile on my face how she's dating one of my friends. So the picture of Cathy is retired.

Weekend Update pt 2

So if you guys ever wondered where my craziness came from, it comes from my mom. If you ever wondered why I'm such a jerk, it comes from my mom. So when I got in town, my mom made me dinner when she should have been sleeping. Then she tells me a few stories to entertain me and apparently herself. She was telling me how my dad is loosing his teeth and it's quite understandable since he smokes so much. But he lost one of his incisors and my mom makes fun of him and says I can't look at him without laugh now. And everytime he smiles, she tell him to close his mouth. Ironically, my mom has lost a tooth herself. Weird to see how my parents are getting old. My mom went to a dentist about a loose tooth and she had it removed very painfully so she's really upset about him. She kept saying how the this short man removed his tooth and mocks how the dentist's wife is bigger than he is. I was told in Korea that you're called a frog if you marry a bigger girl since frogs are one the species where the females are larger. I had no doubt my mom taught me how to be so critical after eating dinner with her. So then we decided to watch a movie. Well my mom is crazy. First of all, she doesn't understand English very well and she's always making up her own plot. Honestly, if you want to be entertained, watch a movie that you've already seen with my mom and the sound turned off and she'll make up a whole new story. On top of that, she falls asleep and starts snoring. Well immediately she wakes up from the noise and starts asking me if I were snoring. I was like, "Mom, it was you, crazy." Insane how my parents had so much influence in my life. She also made a comment during the movie how white women have nice bodies and face while Asians are lucky to have a nice face. She was describing what makes a woman's body look nice and I was thinking the exact same thing. And then the next day I was taking a picture of her with my phone. And immediately when she saw me ready to take a picture she does these goofy poses. It's incredible. She then took me to a Chinese Buffet because she wanted me to meet the Chinese people there. And the owner who is a women starts speaking English to my mom. And my mom and the Chinese lady have a whole ten minute conversation in broken English. I really thought it was a competition to sound the least coherent. They were speaking another language that I never heard of. I was in awe and in pain at the same time. Then at the restaurant, I had to tell my mom to quiet down because she was being too loud. Seriously, if you guys ever met my mom, it's no mystery why I act the way I do.

It's really amazing how in a small town, everyone knows each other. Their mall consists of a Cinema 4, General Dollar and a Beall's. Walmart and HEB killed the town. There's hardly any sucessful small business there. All in all, the whole trip was a very humbling experience.

Weekend Update

Ok. There's too much and too little time to update everything right now. So basically I'll use this as a place holder for the weekend update.

Anyways, a good story to tell before I start with the weekend trip is about a 17 year old girl. Yes, I met a girl that's in my Asian Studies class and she's born in '89. Anyways, she seems to flirt with me a lot. You know the hitting me on the arm thing and stuff. Well Thursday, I decided to not sit near her since I did not want to beat up a 17 year old girl. So ironically, the teacher decided to change up the seating charts and have us all meet new people that day. We then counted off in fours. Well it turns out we both got the same number and we're in the same group. This is no big deal but I find it so funny how everyone jokes how I'm going to get in trouble with some high school kid. Anyways, the class is fun and I enjoy it. However, one day I came in late, which is the only day I was ever late to class and the teacher gave a pop quiz. This class is only trouble.

Man tennis class isn't going so well. I got killed by this Asian girl. The balls were flat and I was trying to hit them as hard as I could and she would just place them into the corners. Sigh. Then she hit some short balls and I would come in and approach. Bam and she lob instantly and some how I now suck at overheads. Sigh. Mockily, she said to her friend, watch out for this one, he's a killer. She asked me how long I've played and embarrassedly I told her for over 8 years. Stupid UT Tennis club chicks. This is the last thing I did in Austin before I left for Big Spring. Great self-esteem booster.

So the drive is about 6-7 hours according to map quest, google, and yahoo. It took me 6.5 hours to just drive there. However, the trip back, it only took me 5 hours since I sped like a bullet. I felt such like a badass when I was speeding. Such a rush to go over that 70 mph barrier. For those that don't know me, that was sarcasm. But anyways, many little towns along the way. Most didn't have a population over three digits. Meaning, most of these towns had less people than Jester West. Also I thought I was getting a bargain by finding gas for $2.16. Well later I found some for $1.97. So if you ever need cheap gas, drive out about 150 miles and you'll find it. Anyways, I'll tell the more fun stories later.

FLAC vs MP3

It's simple. IPod doesn't support FLAC so MP3 is your only choice. I quit FLAC.

Going to See Parents

I'm going out of town this weekend. All my life I have wanted to be a grown up. Now, I want to live college over. Never in my life I had nothing to look foward to.

You can make the check out to Sungjin Park for $20 dollars now.

Also, today in Weight lifting we maxed our squat. So after class, this girl was talking to me, who was pretty good looking I might add. She asked me how much I did and she told me hers. I made a couple jokes and laughed. Then, as she was trying to talk to me, I blew her off and walked quickly. Not really on purpose, but just because I'm stupid. Honestly, I'm not a strong guy, so asking me was kinda strange. I laughed the entire way home. Man, I'm horrible at this. Maybe next time kiddo.

Grey's Anatomy

Grey's Anatomy is for fags. Who wants to watch it with me this Thursday?

Also, since everyone's asking and I don't want to tell the story anymore. Basically the reason I have this scab/scrap on my forehead is because it happened in swim class. We were doing this excercise where we stand on our hands and float while our partner spins us around. Well I can't put into words how gay this is. My partner is some guy and we're in the water and the only thing that really separates us is swimming trunks. And now he has to grab me and spin me around. It was so gay. But while he was doing that, I guess he got a little too excited and hit me against the wall. I hate swim class. Tennis is good however. There's a girl in my class that looks similar to Katherine Heigl. She's really nice but has a mean backhand because my partner got destroyed by her. It's amazing how many people can rally so much better than me but can't hit a volley to save their life.

Musical

Hair Spray is now playing in Austin. Someone take me. Preferably a girl. Thanks.

Downtown

So we recently have been going downtown with some new girls. It's fun meeting new people and such but all it reminds me of is how much I miss everyone else. Life's just depressing.

You're fat. And more.

So the other day on the bus, there was this fat girl. She was wearing one of those skirt/pants looking things. I drew a picture in case you guys don't know what I'm talking about. But yeah, seriously, she looked ridiculous because she's fat. So as I said I was on the bus, West Campus bus to be exact, and it was cramped as always. The whole time, this guy was letting the girls sit when a seat opened up. I thought it was generous gesture. But when the only girl left to get a seat was the fat girl, he decided to take it. I mean, I probably would have done the same but unconsciously.

So after that, I went home because I couldn't get into ballroom dancing. When I got to my tennis class, I basically hit with people that well suck. On top of that I have already taken this class. I only signed up for this class because it fit my schedule best but then I find out the next level is the next class. So I stick around and hit with people from that class. And it was amazing, they actually turn their hips. They can even volley and such. On top of all that I made a new Spanish friend.

I also signed up for an Asian American Studies class. Basically amongst all Asians, the Southeast Asians are doing the worst socially in America. It's so funny to see everyone just being so proud of their country and bashing on others. Having both Vietnamese and Chinese friends, I know how much you guys suck. So I didn't say anything. School is kinda fun when you know it's going to be your last semester.

Locker Room Stories

So yesterday, I went to the gym early to buy a locker before class. As I was leaving the locker room, I saw a blind. I tried to hug the right wall to avoid him but instead he just tapped his stick into my leg. I said my appologies and headed towards my swimming class. In my class, half the people can't swim. I'm a horrible swimmer, but just because I can do some lazy strokes, I'm better than half the class. And there's this chiselled black guy that can't swim. I mean he's like 6'2 190 lb super lean. Yet he can't float on water. Also that huge asian gymnist girl that can bench press more than me is in my class. I tried to not piss her off. But anyways, the class was fun, and I go back to my locker room to change to workout before class. That's when I saw the blind dude completely naked slappy his "stick" side to side to make his way. This time, I really did not want to get slapped and I jumped out of the way. The only thing that was going through my mind was, "Life is Beautiful."

POOPOO

Ok I was taking a pooh and when I flushed it I dropped a half roll of toilet paper. For some reason I hesistated to pull it out before it completely flushed. So my toilet didn't clog up though. I was kinda weird, but it was gradually flushing worse. So I decided not take a pooh for 2 days. Man that was one of the best poohs I had in years.

Since I'm only needing two classes to graduate, I've decided to take 3 PE classes. WEWT.

US Open

Games been good. Disapointed Hingis lost. If Hingis and Sharapova merged into one, that would be the ultimate woman's player. Federer is going to win as always. I wish he would learn to serve and volley more. Such a percentage player. Mauresmo looks like a man but probably is the most complete player on the WTA, but definitely beatable. Nice to see Agassi is moving on, always was a fan of his.

Also, last night I learned, a girl can't have brains and beauty. You can have a bit of each but can't have all of both. Any case, fun stuff.
