If you haven't heard the good news?? i'm officially 21

it's a mighty strange feeling cause now as my dad put it "i'm finally officially a man" even though he said the same thing once i hit 18...oh and 13...hahaha my dad is crazy.

My first bottle of alcohol

So monday night i went in the nearby 7 11 right when the clock hit 12 midnight. I had just turned 21 so i wanted to commemorate this moment with a bottle of alcohol. i held the drink in one hand and the wallet in the other...waiting in line behind the 5 other guys drinking alcohol...the line gets to me and he just rings it up. WHAT?!!?! He doesn't card me? did he even look up at me?? i get carded everywhere...i once even got carded for a rated-R movie when i was 18...ridiculous...It sucks the day i wanted to get carded i don't.... so i went home shared the story with my dad and shared in a glass...welcome to manhood kevin...

My first pack of cigarettes

It was summer of 2003, and i went with my church to Spirit West Coast. While we were up there i celebrated my 18th birthday so of course i had to do what all the 18 yr olds do...so i went out to buy a pack of cigarettes....so we walked in the store and i told the lady to hook me up with a pack of marlboro reds...she carded me and stared at my card for seriously a minute..shifted her eyes stared at me and shook her head and sold me the pack...i bet she was thinking this is the best fake ID i have ever seen...there is no way this kid is 18...so i bought it walked to the back of the line and returned it...cause that 4 dollars was precious...so as i was handing it back to her to return...she was laughing...

I guess that was the kind of reaction i was hoping for...

My 30 billionth Rated-R Movie

I went to watch a rated-r movie with like 7 of my friends...all of them being significantly younger then me...leonard the youngest was 4 years younger then me...and i was the oldest (and the only one 18)...so i stand in line and i get carded for the movie..i'm like oh shoot how is everyone else going to get in...the cashier proceeds down the line of my friends..and doesn't card anyone else...what the!??!??!

Today is my dad's birthday!!!

Story 

So today my parents and i were eating pizza at thier work. my mom grabbed a slice and started looking around the edges of the pizza in the pizza box to look for fallen pineapples to add to her slice. My dad noticed and placed his slice over the pizza box so my mom could pick the pineapples off of it. All the while they were holding a conversation with me. I think my dad's been doing that for years and i finally noticed. Love is sacrifice.

One more story

When i was in Jr. High my dad decided to go back to college, so he enrolled in a JC to learn some english. So on top of his 8am-9pm job, he studied english. In the english class he took he was asked to write a paper every week. So after work ended my dad would sit in front of our computer and type out his essay. Imagine a first generation korean man who is computer illiterate sitting in front of a computer typing out a one page paper. It's not the simpliest task. He would type hours upon hours contantly searching for the right letter on the keyboard to press. On a couple of occasions after all that work, my dad would highlight the whole text in order to change the font size or something of that sort but in doing so he would press something on the keyboard replacing his whole paper with the just a single letter. Not knowing about the Undo Key he would sit there and retype the whole essay.

okay fine fine my dad is a stud

and i'll end with....

"My dad can beat up your dad!"
