화요일 아침: "growing up" by 고호경 ko hokyung - 2 b.days'f important friends recently passed: duk on easter sun, april 16; n' julie, yesterday, on april 17. happy b.day, u2; even tho' u don't read this n' won't read this. 생일 축하해. "i feel you" by depeche mode - my teeth feel crooked 2day. man, if i had $$$, dude, i think i'd get braces 'gain. i know several adults w/ braces. however, i don't have $$$. then 'gain, i only have several more decades b4 my earthly body's returned to the ground n' i join my maker in heaven, rt? my left hip feels arthritic. [later] cos i've been gorging n' feasting on meat, meat, meat, n' leftover ham; i feel quite fat rt now. i need exercise. perhaps, i should've taken sooni 4 a jog last nite afte mowing the lawn n' pulling weeds. she would've enjoyed it.
a li'l while 'go, i got a call 'bout a job opportunity in orange county. i let the guy know that i'm not really looking 4 werk rt now, n' he let me off the fon pretty quickly. i dunno; should i be looking 4 new job opps? dude, lemme tell u: ppl r switching jobs like crazy rt now! i dunno what it is, but yah... well, i don't wanna move down to orange county. i'm not looking to leave my current job, but man... imagine if i were to leave this vicious industry n' do sumpthin' like really "fun." what if i could have a good career in sumpthin' related to musik or taekwondo. or what if i could get an engineering job in the skateboard or snowboard industry? what if i were to werk 4 a start.up 'gain, 1 where i could bring sooni to werk? what if i were to werk 4 a colourfully"fun" company where they feed u well n' let u skateboard from bldg to bldg?
[later] how r u? wouldju care to sign my gbook n' share?
[later] after doing yardwerk, last nite was a really lazy nite. i feel like i could've been so much more produktive, gotten so much more done. it looks like i'll be hitting the slopes 'gain on sat w/ friends from our t3s couples bible study. as i mentioned b4, i scratched up the base'f my board last time, so i was thinking that i'd do some base repair last nite, but i didn't. i dunno if it was cos i was lazy or if it was cos i'm smart, but i told myself that i'd ride on sat w/ the scratches on the base n' then do base repair later. after all, i might get more scratches on sat, rt? however, i figure that if i'm riding more downhill (as opposed to terrain park), then it'll be more important to have a smooth base. the beautiful kaela hwang isn't coming w/ us on sat, n' she would've been my main playpal in the terrain park. since she's not coming, i don't expekt to spend more time in the terrain parks. in fakt, i guess all the others r skiers. i hope to get more days on the slopes b4 all the snow melts. s'pposedly boreal's closed now, which sucks cos i really wanna ride their s'pposedly "all.mtn" terrain park. yah, i checked; boreal's closed. northstar's hosting a collegiate nat'l snowboarding tournament on sun: http://www.cstv.com/thecollegiatenationals/sports/c-sboard/cn-c-sboard-body.html. that's kewl. i wish i'd been good 'nuff @ snowboarding during college to participate in sumpthin' like this. kaela sed b4 that i'm passionate 'bout my hobbies, n' i guess i am. @ times (in the past), i considered taekwondo not to be a hobby but a 2nd career. now? *shrug* it does look more like a hobby, but... *shrug* [later] djing's a 2nd career.
[later] 점심, 회사의 제육관에서: i was reading a newsweek article 'bout "web 2.0," myspace, flickr, etc. i started to get depressed, comparing my career to those'f the 30.yr.old billionaire ceos. now, as i stretch, gwen stefani sings "rich girl" on my pa1m0ne t5.
[later] 저녁이지만, 아직도 직장에서: it's funny; in the silly valley, i think i c (in a way) 2 kinds'f engrs: 1) old dinosaurs that r bitter over repeated layoffs n' that fear being replaced by fresh college hires or outsourced labour; n' then 2) young, fired up, bright.eyed "freshmen" who r (in a way) bringing us back to the early 1980s or the late 1990s... not sure which. there's a big diff btwn the early 1980s n' the late 1990s. however, both were prosperous times. funny, huh? i think in the early 1980s, we had ppl getting rich by just being greedy; while in the late 1990s, we had a combination'f ppl getting rich from technolical innovation n' the ppl getting temporarily rich from not.so.good ideas. well, aktually, in the early 1980s, ppl were also getting rich off'f technological innovation, but were they startup types or big corporations? well, come to think'f it, u had both, rt? i dunno... in a way, i just associate the early 1980s w/ greedy reaganomics, while the late 1990s cmed like more'f time 4 free.spirits w/ good morals to shine a li'l. didn't it cm like ppl were more socially, environmentally, n' morally responsible in the late 1990s?
[later] during my lunchbrk 2day, i werked out really quickly in the werk.com gym. then i bought a medium salad bar salad n' a small fruit salad @ the werk.com cafeteria. i ate by myself in the shade in the outdoor courtyard/atrium, b4 going in to a class.
wow, stocks did well 2day. eh, i won't get 2 optimistik cos stocks go up then go down. how's the snow?
