Silly Puttycat II

Lillian called this cat a "dummy" and I have to agree with her.


Tonight's Chat with XXXXX - My Jung Is 12" Long

oldSkool:       have you ever been personally tested?

XXXXX:         tested? for HIV?

oldSkool:       no...you're marriage

like cheating

infidelity

etc.

XXXXX:         oh bhaahahahahahahaha

yeah i guess

oldSkool:       yeah?

and did you cross the line?

XXXXX:         no...it was tempting though

i think its different for men and women

if i was a man i probably would've

but when i have sex with someone I feel like

i am giving a piece of me and i wanted to be selfish

LOL

does that make sense?

oldSkool:       no

you either just do it or you don't

XXXXX:         I can't explain...

oldSkool:       it's ok

just curious

and even if you had crossed the line...

it would have remained between just you and me

XXXXX:         i didn't want him to feel special

it was an ex who e mailed me

he lives in Korea but he was in Cali for business

and he called and asked me to meet him

oldSkool:       and?

what happened?

XXXXX:         the way we broke up it was bad

so although he broke up with me and i had feelings

for him for a long time

oldSkool:       but he obviously wanted to be with you again

XXXXX:         its too convenient when he called, he was married with kid,

i was married with kid

if you didn't want to commit to me and marry me,

you can't have me later

does that make sense?

oldSkool:       yeah...but i guess he wanted to sleep with you again

XXXXX:         yeah, he said i was the best lay or whaterver

but like what WOULDN"T he say to get me in bed again?

its hard to believe a man in anything he says

oldSkool:       that's a fine compliment

XXXXX:         if i believed it

oldSkool:       maybe he meant it?

XXXXX:         maybe

i blew him off although i was interested

i told him his penis was too small

oldSkool:       hahahaha

i guess you'll never sleep with me either

XXXXX:         LOL

is your junk really big?

oldSkool:       JUNK????

XXXXX:         LOL

oldSkool:       whatcha talkin about willis?

XXXXX:         penis doh

you never heard anyone refer to it as junk??

oldSkool:       no...

but i guess mine is a piece of junk now

XXXXX:         i have...lots of times

do you have erectile dysfunction?

oldSkool:       yeah...so, my penis is like 12 inches long

XXXXX:         bhahaahah

that's actually scary

oldSkool:       with viagra, levitra and what's the other one?

XXXXX:         cialis?

oldSkool:       yeah

anyway...let's change the subject

XXXXX:         makes u uncomfortable?

OldSkool:       yeah...i'm ashamed of the 12 inches

and that's longer than my inseam

XXXXX:         LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The NY Bar Exam Results Are Out

I heard from M yesterday that she didn’t pass the New York bar exam.  It’s a "bitter pill to swallow" after having studied and worked so hard for the bar exam.  I really feel for her but the only thing she can do now is to focus and start studying again.  I wish I could help/console her more, but you just have to get back on your own two feet...right?

 

It really sucks to go through three years of law school and you can’t practice law even after graduating until you’ve passed a bar exam in any one of the U.S. jurisdictions.  I will say this, the New York bar exam is allegedly the 2nd most difficult bar exam to take behind the California bar exam.  But then again, California’s passage rate is low because there are so many unaccredited law schools out there and just about anyone can take the bar exam and fail.

 

I do know a few other people who also didn’t pass and did pass.  Congratulations to those who did pass and for those who did not...back to the drawing board, keep your heads up and remain positive!

 

By the way, you can see who passed the New York bar exam this past July by going to http://www.nybarexam.org/ExamResults/July2008Results.htm.  It's a ridiculous list...you can see how many Koreans passed, just read all the ones with the last name "Kim."  Crazy!!!

 

I’m so glad that the bar exams are way way behind me now.  I will never take another bar exam unless I absolutely have to for a job in another state but for now NY, NJ and PA are enough for me.

 


Fin.K.L Comeback?

Just kidding.

As you know, my music takes me back to the old school days.  I remember when I was in Korea in 1998 and everything I saw on TV, wherever I would go I would see Fin.K.L.  I love Fin.K.L so shoot me now while you can.  As Tina says, it's the FOBBY music that I listen to in the car.  I really don't know where they got their girl group name from but it's supposedly "Fine Killing Liberty" whatever that's supposed to mean.  If someone knows, please enlighten me.  I actually learned on Wikipedia that Annie Lee was actually a member for only a few months and left to form Tashanee.  Hyori was the last member to join after being found in a shopping mall taking photo booth/sticker pictures.  Who would have thunk it?

Here's the Wikipedia link:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finkl

But, I would love to see a reunion or comeback but we all know that they've all gone their separate ways.  There was a brief stint when they recorded a single as a more mature girl group about two or three years ago but that stuff didn't suit me too well.

I love YouTube and must thank them for creating a place where I can find all of my favorite Fin.K.L stuff.

My Short Trip to Chicago

As promised, here are the pictures that I took in Chicago.

I apologize to anyone who reads this and is from Chicago, but it just ain't my kind of town (anymore).  It's a great city and all, clean, great architecture, friendly people, etc. but I can't see myself living there for long periods of time.  Some of you may know that I went to law school out in Chicago many moons ago, but I was too busy studying at the time to really enjoy the city.  I did venture out to the bars in Lincoln Park, went clubbing on Division, saw a few ball games at Wrigley Field, often biked/jogged/roller bladed up and down Lake Michigan...so I did have some fun.

One thing I noticed was that it doesn't have the same Asian presence that New York or Los Angeles has in its respective cities.  I know there are lots of Koreans there, but they're all scattered around the Chicagoland area.  That's kind of what I noticed in my short trip.  There was a brief moment when I stood in front of the Chicago Art Institute, not the museum but rather the art/design school across the street and I heard some FOBBY Korean girls smoking and talking in front of the school.  It was like being in a mini-Ktown. 

Things have changed though.  I hadn't been back to Chicago in something like 6 or 7 years.  I was able to venture into Grant Park which now has Millennium Park north of it too which has some spectacular structures.  I also was sad to see that Marshall Field & Co. is no longer what it used to be but now a Macy's.  I ventured over to East Randolph where I used to live during law school and it had not changed much but they were building a new office complex next to what used to be the Standard Oil/Amoco Building but now Aon Center. 

I had a few hours to shoot a few pictures but the clouds and rain sort of set in and my photographs didn't come out all too great.  Or maybe it's just that I still don't know how to use my dSLR.  I did take a cool picture from my window seat on the place ride back...cool huh?
