It's been a while for Xanga, but nevertheless, there have been great changes this year. Leaving my full-time job was humbling in the least regards, a process fueled by an everburning desire to pursue the greater stuff of life -- mainly the realization of God's calling in my life. The call to serve the poor has never been so powerful and unexpected. The random series of events that led up to the call to fill the shoes of leading OneHouse, a ministry that advocates and provides volunteer opportunities for social justice projects in NYC, was never thought to be merely a collision of occurrences -- rather God was painting a beautiful picture in my life, one corner at a time.
A move to also dive into the small business sector has also been in the works, now materialized through involvement in my parents' architectural practice. It is challenging not only coming to work everyday, but to know that the power is in my hands to convey vision and Christian values to impact an entrepreneur-heavy marketplace littered with irresponsible practice and legal backstabbing. More than ever, the perception of justice and fairness is being exercised everyday as I head out to the field.
In other news, come out to my show next friday, starts at 8PM, $10 cover will get you a drink as well. Mention my name at the door. I'll be playing with Chris and Ricky again in a 30 min set. It's been way too long!.

| I love wedding emcees. You never know what you get. The faux-personality front and the show-biz vocal throw are characteristic, but the K-FoB homeboy at Jiyeon & Tim's wedding tonight was just off the wall with his english.
MC: (To the groom) "Tim, my man. You will need to dance it off to Jiyeon like the sexiest of hell"
Tim: (Laughs)
MC: Haha, yes.
<Audience laughs>
MC: (To audience) Wh-what? Why you laugh? Are you jealousy?"

| _ _ _ _ _ MILK
Today, a few of us after Nursing Home Ministry went to McDonalds to grab a brunch bite.
Casey: I will get the cheeseburger happy meal with milk
Register: Will that be chocolate milk or white milk??
Albert (to himself): uhh. I hope all milk is somewhat....white....
Some things should just be said alone without descriptors. In a descriptor-ridden information world (I have a 2000 Volkswagen Jetta GLS 12v 2.8L VR6) and the growth of increasingly knowledgeable consumers, there must be some things that do not require adjectival specification. If I walk into a diner, the waiter should not ask if I like my water to be 'clear water'.
Just say 'regular' milk.
