Jongphil vs. Jason

Enjoy.

Jongphil: I need to graduate quickly, get my PhD and find a good job.
Jason: FUCK THAT. Grab a fuckin' backpack and pillow and hit the road. You only got 1 life, so live it up moron. Don't spend that shit behind a desk.

Jongphil: I want a woman who is intelligent, humourous, and is capable of maintaining a healthy relationship.
Jason: WHERE DA HO'S AT SON?!?! YOU KNOW WHAT I NEED???? STRIPPPPPPPP. CLUBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB.

Jongphil: I need to start saving up money in order to prepare for what's to come. Money is important, and without money, life will be hard.
Jason: *drinks away his earnings*

Jongphil: I should be maintaining my health, striving towards a healthy physical frame and healthy mindstate.
Jason: *eats ice cream by the pint, laying down on his stomach, while toying with the risk involved in murder*

Jongphil: You really should start reading more and getting serious about your academic ventures.
Jason: I wonder if I can finish all 6 seasons of The Sopranos in 3 days...

Jongphil: 'Excuse me sir, but I believe that there is a problem with this bill that you've issued me.'
Jason: 'MOTHAFUCKA FIX THIS SHIT BEFORE I KNOCK YOU OUT IN FRONT OF ALL THESE PEOPLE.'

Jongphil: I have work in the morning, so I should lay out my clothes and set my alarm 3 hours before work, just to give myself some prep time.
Jason: 2 for 1 MOJITOS AT THE BAR!!! FUCK WORK!! LET'S GET CRUNK SON!!!

Jongphil: I should probably take a nap. I have a long night of work ahead of me.
Jason: Fuck a nap you dirty gook. Go get some pussy!

Jongphil: Your family is important. Without them, you wouldn't be where you are today. Love them. Cherish them.
Jason: Move. Change your number. Run. Do whatever you can.

Jongphil: I'll let them vent. Everyone needs to vent sometimes, and everyone needs someone there to listen.
Jason: You called me for this shit? GET A GRIP. STOP WASTIN' MY MOBILE MINUTES. AT LEAST HAVE THE DECENCY TO CALL AFTER 9PM, WHEN THE CALL WILL BE FREE AND WHEN I CAN IGNORE IT.

Jongphil: I try to have a wide, diverse musical range, and try to focus on positive music.
Jason: THONG TH- THONG THONG THONGGGGGGG.

Jongphil: Money doesn't rule the world. All I want are the simple things in life. I don't need a nice car and a nice house to justify myself as a man.
Jason: You poor bastard. Take out a couple of loans from different banks and buy yourself a Aston Martin and a house in the Hills!!! You ain't got shit if you can't flaunt shit!

Jongphil: I want to lead a honest, moral life, and be a good example for my future kids.
Jason: Send yo kids to daycare and go smoke some fuckin' weed. Yo woman don't need to know about that side bird you've been seeing either. And keep drinkin' those 40's.

Back home

Being back in the states is....odd.

I think the only time I experienced this much culture shock was the first time I went to Korea.

I'm adjusting quickly, as usual, but it's interesting to examine my home life now and my home life then. I haven't changed drastically, but I notice things here and there that I would have been blind towards before.

EVERYTHING IS SO BIG. Cars, roads, food portions, people, houses.

I can't eat like I use to. I got bloated off half a bowl of Soondubu. I got horribly full off a normal sized bowl of Pho. I eat a thing of bread and coffee for breakfast, and that makes me full. I'd rather walk than drive (but this will probably change soon). I can't even sleep in my own bed, comfortably. WEIRD.

but....Korean food is so good. hahahaha. Oh god. How I have missed thee.

London

I'm at an internet cafe in Leicester Square, bored out of my bloody mind.

For the past few days, I've literally walked around most of central London, thrice. I have nothing left to see, so I've just been lounging around in Hyde Park, reading and drinking alcohol. When I can't be bothered to read, I just sit in the tube for countless hours, pensive and disenchanted. I feel like I've lived here for a long time. I feel bad for my friend because all I want to do is sit around and drink pints at pubs instead of attending musicals (expensive) and going out to clubs (expensive). She, who is 25, claims that I am an old man, and that I should take advantage of my youth while I can. I tell her that I don't need to be out clubbing and hitting up the nightlife to feel young. Then she laughs while she shakes her head with slight annoyance, saying 'You'll regret it.'

Jee's visit was good. Tons of walking and tons of alcohol and tons of food (fish&chips) and tons of tons of tons. Sorry for wearing you out so much as soon as you got off the plane. I should have let you sleep instead of dragging you around until late. I just tried to be a good guide, that's all. I hope you are having a good time on the Suh family whirlwind Western Europe tour.

I'm gonna be seeing familiar faces in a few days. I know I didn't really want to leave earlier, but now, I've flip flopped like John Kerry. I want to go back home. Bah. This feeling will probably change again. Probably in a couple of hours. haha.

Alright, I have to sign off. The internet is quite pricey in central London.

Adieu mates.
