...deew....

Have you ever realized that Spiderman was created by chance.?
Anybody could have been bitten by that superspider….

Oscorp created the bad guys by testing with that serum Oscorp made.
Hob goblin was created by Oscorp he’s Norman Osborn.
Pete is a pervert for watching Mary Jane through the window
He’s still a pervert for watching MJ’s ass in the cafeteria
How did nobody see him testing out his powers?
If someone sees someone standing on an edge of the roof they think “suicide” everybody would watch suicide

IT IS Pete’s fault! Uncle Ben died because Pete needed the money for the car to impress MJ. He gets the money by Wrestling. He also gets mad at his uncle for lecturing him and he lets the robber get away downstairs.
Uncle Ben doesn’t die from the gun shot. He was actually Heartbroken by Pete thats what killed him, the gunshot finished him off.

Pete didn’t like the name Spiderman at first. It was created by the wrestling announcer.
Pete got pissed.
Why didn’t his Spidey senses work when he was getting hit by the chair and golf club?

Weirdddd.

Birthday

So another year went by.
I’m now 19…
Getting old. haha.
God has been with me through all these years and I thank Him.
I don’t thank Him as much as I should, I should change that.
I should thank God for everything he has given me and done for me the past 19 years of my life.

I’ve learned a lot during this year. Maybe too much… haha.
I know that people will say their your friend but you’ll never hear from them again.
I learned that relationships that step between you and your friend can ruin your whole fucking life.
I learned that being stabbed in the back hurts but who gives a fuck.

I came back into my dorm room later than usual from a weekend away from school.
I returned around 7:30 PM.
Yes I am a Facebook addict. The first thing I did was turn on my computer and check my Facebook.

48 notifications and still counting. 48 notifications of all filled with the same message… Happy Birthday. Yea there are a few that said something different than just Happy Birthday. 48+ notifications of empty messages from people I haven’t talked to in years.
Before Facebook came along, they never knew it was my birthday. All of a sudden I post my birthday on a Website they wish me one.

The heart filled messages put a smile on my face because those people knew it was my birthday. but whatever right… Why am I bitching?
Fuck It…

I’ve come to realize that I have one best friend and several people that are very close friends. I’ve also realized that the only things I care for is my family, my best friend Kun, my close friends, and God. Nothing more and nothing less.

I’ve also decided that I’m done with relationships. I’m done trying to fix them, help people with relationships, and I’m done trying to be in one. FUCK RELATIONSHIPS and the SHIT that comes with trying.

Well Happy FUCKING Belated Birthday to myself.

Barstool Economics

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100.

If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:


The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So, that’s what they decided to do. The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve.

‘Since you are all such good customers, he said, I’m going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20.

Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free.

But what about the other six men - the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his ‘fair share?’

They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody’s share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man’s bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay!

And so:

The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% savings).
The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28% savings).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).

Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings.

‘I only got a dollar out of the $20, ‘declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man, ‘but he got $10!’

‘Yeah, that’s right,’ exclaimed the fifth man. ‘I only saved a dollar, too. It’s unfair that he got ten times more than I!’

‘That’s true!!’ shouted the seventh man. ‘Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!’*

‘Wait a minute,’ yelled the first four men in unison. ‘We didn’t get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!’

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn’t show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn’t have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!

And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

Can't Stop Thinking...

Gonna pull an all nighter.
Can’t sleep.
Maybe it has something to do with me sleeping all day and waking up around 2-3 pm because I went to sleep late/early the night before.

It could also do with not being able to stop thinking while I lay down to try and sleep…

I’m not sleeping tonight. I know if I sleep I’m not going to be able to wake up for my 7:30 class.

Why can’t I stop thinking while I’m laying down.
Everything Just runs across my mind.
You want to know what I’m thinking?

I’m thinking about what I’m going to do tomorrow.
What I’m going to do after class.
If I should go to the gym.
I miss everyone at MKPC.
I miss New York.
I miss YOU.
If YOU will ever give me a chance.
I miss my mom.

Speaking about my mom…
I found out recently that she went to the Emergency room because she had this pain in her legs. Well I was in New York this Summer and I told her to go take care of it. Go to the hospital and get it checked.
She said to me “Don’t worry about it and besides where do I have the money to pay for it right now? I have to wait until I get my insurance card.”

Few weeks pass and I’m back in North Carolina.
My aunt says to me “Have you spoke to your mom recently?”
Me: “No. I talked to her a week ago… maybe.”
Aunt: “Well give your mom a call she was in the hospital because of the pain in her legs.”

What you guys don’t know is that my mom is a diabetic. Pain in the legs for a diabetic equals BAD. Could mean she might have to get her legs amputated. Luckily she didn’t.

Continuing conversation…
Aunt: “Give her a call. The doctors aren’t sure what’s wrong with her. It might have to do with her being a Diabetic.”
Me: “Are you shitting me right now?” (Not the exact words)
Aunt: “Call her right now.”

So I called her and she was at home taking a nap. I asked her if she was okay and she told me she was fine. (Trying to hold the tears in while I was talking to her.) I yelled at her. I told her to get it taken care of while I was in New York but she was stubborn…
Thank God it wasn’t because she was a Diabetic. Thank God she didn’t have to get her legs amputated. Thank you God….
Luckily she had just stressed/sprained her legs from fatigue/overworking.

She said to me “Don’t worry about it and besides where do I have the money to pay for it right now? I have to wait until I get my insurance card.”…..
This is my fault……….

I’m sorry mom. I’m sorry that I’m selfish and greedy and that I made you pay for everything. I took advantage of the fact that you only see me once a year. I took advantage of the situation. You wouldn’t have to work so hard if it wasn’t for me. You wouldn’t had to have paid for everything and you sure as hell shouldn’t have to work your ass off to pay for my phone bill.

I should have gone to New York with money that I worked my ass off for. I should have paid for everything myself. I shouldn’t have blown all my hard earned money by blowing it all away by playing with my friends. I’m sorry that I brought a friend along with me to New York and that you paid for him. You paid for JAMA for me and my friend. You paid for everything and I am sorry you had to feel it through pain rather than my love.

Mom I love you! I hope the pain is gone.
I don’t think I could live in this world without you.
I need you in my life mom. I’m sorry if I ever disappointed you.
I’m sorry if I ever made you feel like shit because I fucked up.
I’m sorry that my Father fucked up and left you.
I’m sorry…

I’m going to work my ass off while I’m in school and I’m going to make everything better mom. I’m going to make a shit load of money when I graduate from college and I’m going to take care of you. I’m going to pay for everything through my sweat, tears, and pain. I’m going to help you anyway I can.

I LOVE YOU MOMMY!

Packing... Goodbye Charlotte.

Packing is tough. I keep getting distracted by little things. I spent like the last hour and a half writing notes on Facebook. I left a little message for everyone in the Youth Group that has a Facebook.

Well The last day in Charlotte was fun. I had fun hanging out with people I’ve never hung out with outside of church. That would be Esther, Jin, and Grace. It was tons of fun. I found out that I’m considered a safe driver. lol. It was safe, according to the three girls, even though the brakes failed once. I’m pretty sure it was the brake fluid in the car. I had fun hanging out at Southpark mall. I feel bad for Esther that she didn’t get to get her Macbook… oh and Esther when you read this. Macbook’s ARE NOT LAME. haha. Cheesecake Factory was AMZINGGG sooo amazing that i forgot the ‘A’ lol. I hope to see those pictures up soon Esther!!!!

Anyways… Sally gave me a going away/early bday gift. I didn’t really want to open it today but I couldn’t help myself. There wouldn’t have been a better time to open it. I opened it right in the middle of packing. It really made me tear up and i just keep reminiscing of the good times I’ve had with the people in the Youth Group.

Your probably curious what was in the package right? Well Sally, Esther, and Grace wrapped a shoe box. In the box, there was notes that were written from everybody. Kun’s note was really touching and made me ball my eyes out. I dug underneath the notes and found a package of Peanut M&M’s that I will save until my birthday. (If I remember my own Birthday). Underneath that there was a group photo of the YG from the Retreat. It was in a beautiful Frame. I then dug deeper and found a scrapbook made with tons of glitter, which is now on my carpet (Thank You Sally. lol). I’m very grateful to have a little sister like Sally. No, she’s not my blood sister… but she’s like a sister to me.

I’m going to miss everyone from MKPC Youth Group and COI! That means you too Esther Haejin Lee!
4 Months….

"Separation Anxiety"

I haven’t wrote on this thing forever.

Man Nell’s Album Separation Anxiety is awesome. 
I got the album from my aunt last night. She came back from Korea and she bought me this album. Well I asked for it. I was listening to the CD and I was thinking to myself “Separation Anxiety?”

Sounds like how I’m feeling at the moment. 
I don’t want to leave Charlotte and I definitely don’t want to go to UNC Pembroke.

I’m going to miss it here.
Hanging out with friends until the wee hours of the night.
I’m going to miss COI and Matthews Korean Presbyterian Church.
I’m going to definitely miss my Family…

Yea I know… I’ll be back in a couple of months for Winter but everything changed. Life here changed. I met some new friends and I patched things up with old friends.

MKPC… their like family to me now. Actually they are my family now. Yea I didn’t like some of the kids in the Youth at one point, but I’ve grown to like them and love them like family.

You must be thinking “Howie has already been to College one year… what makes it different this year?”
Well things changed here. I’m going to really miss everyone.

Hopefully God will allow me to transfer to Charlotte. I’m going to study my ass off this semester and try to transfer to UNC Charlotte with a 4.0 GPA.
Is it possible? YES IT IS!

“I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.” -Phillipians 4:13

I want to be back in Charlotte. I want to help Kun with COI and help the praise team. I don’t think I’ve wanted anything more in my life. It seems like everything is “I want, I want, I want.” I’m going to put it in God’s hands and see if this is what “He WANTS.”

I can already tell I’m going to be home sick while I’m back at college.
I’m going to miss you guys!!!

David (Yongwan), Calvin, and Jin:
Do well in school. There’s nothing more important. I already got a year’s head start over you guys. Trust me… It’s not all about partying. Study your asses off and party later on in your life. Glorify GOD in everything you guys do. No matter how much you guys struggle always turn to God. He will help you through thick and thin and he will always be there for you. I regret that I didn’t do this while I was in college. Become leaders and show the world what you guys are made of. I’m going to miss you guys. See you three during winter break! If you guys need help hit me up…

Kun:
Thank you for everything you have done for me and the Youth Group. Your doing an amazing job. I know you will succeed in whatever you do. You did more for the Youth Group in 6 months than I could have done in 3 years. I hope God will bring me back to Charlotte and allow me to help you and relieve some pressure. Get a load off your back. If your struggling and need help call me and I’ll try to get back and help you. Keep praising Him! Always turn to him when you need help and your struggling. Thank you again from me and the Youth Group.

MKPC YG:
I know I didn’t get to mention the rest of you guys. It doesn’t mean I don’t love you guys. I’m just too lazy to write anything else right now. LOL! I’l try to edit and add more names and leave a special note for each and every one of you in the YG! You guys, listen to Kun and your YG leaders. If they tell you to do something, DO IT. Praise God together and have fun! I pray and hope that you guys will learn and respect each other. I also pray that you guys will grow spiritually strong and become leaders yourselves one day. Love and cherish each other. There’s no reason to fight and bicker amongst eachother! I’m going to miss you guys and girls! lol. LOVE YOU ALL! If you guys need help or just need to talk… My phone is always with me.

Well I guess I’m done for now. See you guys soon. :) Don’t miss me too much… haha.

Your brother,
HowiejYu
