Ladies…

I don’t expect you to understand…and that’s ok.
I know that I’m not the most mature of individuals, but forgive me…as I partake in a little geekiness.

This is something purely for the men.

Transformers movie 03

The men that grew up with G.I.JOE, Thundercats and the powerful memory that Transformers were not lame gorillas, but (BIG) trucks, (fast) sports cars, and even tape decks…that’s right…tape decks. I must add that these are tape decks that shot out buzzards, panthers, and even little robots with hammer hands. Can you think of anything cooler than tape decks that shoot out stuff? Huh? Can you? Let me see…how about dinosaur robots! We all know boys love cars, but dinosaurs? The bond between salt and the sea is almost as strong. Now, some would like to tout that robots would and never could transform into dinosaurs, but alas, you are truly missing the point. The point? 
The point is Grimlock smash!
It was a time of big robots (in big battles) with cool guns, cooler robotic voices, energon cubes, and 80’s big-hair, synthesized, pop rock music.

And I don’t think you want me to get started on Optimus…

I think if you were to look up Optimus Prime in the dictionary it would probably mean latin for leader.
And if it doesn’t? You’re lying.

Transformers movie 04  

Optimus Prime is as important a part of my life as Atticus Finch (To Kill A Mockingbird).
If you really think about it, he pretty much IS Atticus Finch…if Atticus was a big rig with a big flipping cannon gun, and a trailer that turned into a base. 

Hmm…

Atticus Finch has exactly the SAME amount of letters as Optimus Prime. Coincidence? I think not…

So, basically, my dear Xanga, I just want you to know where I’ll be July 4, 2007.

I will be running into the local theatre, shouting, “God bless America”, the fresh scent of gunpowder from fireworks tailing behind me, being an 8 year-old again.

joys of March:

rather than dwell on the trials of March, I want to talk about its many blessings:

– my nephew, Isaac Khalil Jackson (he looks like his daddy)
– wheatgrass shots (antioxidants, energy & nutrients!)
– meeting Margot Kidder (THE Lois Lane)
– jeans worn in to perfection (sinfully comfy)
– Hansarang’s Lehem & all that it is (faith, hope, love)
– mafia master (Hyungjae knows what’s up)
– Spiritman & everything that entails (not just Sundays)
– falling ladders with me not on them (cat-like reflexes)
– spending more time with brothers like Ty , Peter and Seung (inspiring!)
– morning push-ups (awesome ritual)
– healing between my, Peter & Paul’s relationships (thankful for grace)
– James Choi’s wierd noises (flippin funny)
– 6 to 8 hours of sleep (almost) on a regular basis (Thank you, Lord!)
– Halka’s cookie reminders (It’s nice to be remembered)

It’s hard to understand why decent people do indecent things.

                      But grace? Grace is even moreso the enigma.
