"We measure the size of the statue by the size of the hearts of the Korean people..."

This humorous article would be even funnier if the situation in North Korea wasn't so sad.

"In North Korea, Eccentricity Well Off the Scale"

i wish i was this cool...

i just became secretly (or i guess not so secretly) obsessed with a guy named Remy Munasifi (yes, i'm blazing past that line between amused interest and stalking). i randomly stumbled across his youtube videos and he is HILARIOUS. All his videos are so well-written and random, i could watch them forever. I've posted one of them, but seriously, watch all of them because they're all great. My other favorites are "A-R-A-B: The Rap", "Macaca Blues" (for any of you that remember the Macaca! Senator Allen debacle from awhile back), "Hey There Khalilah" (a better version of the Plain White Ts song) and "Opposites Attract" ("I can't dance, she can't vote"). If you just search "goremy" on youtube, you can get to his page and all his videos.

Seriously, go check him out and be inspired like i am. Plus his video made it onto one of the youtube debates. If that's not reason enough, i don't know what is.

The first one is "Eggs Over Easy." I'll give you half a guess as to what that one's about, and the second one is his musical recap of his trip to Charleston for the youtube debate.

It's been nearly a month since my last post?

Time is flying by. Things have been busy, and both work and my weekends have been pretty full. It's felt good to be busy, but in contrast, i've realized that i get really lazy and kinda depressed when life slows down. Unfortunately, that's a major indication that the ups and downs of my circumstances still dominate too much of the way i live. By God's grace i want to be steadfast and content whatever the situation.

So here's something crazy. This past week i received two job offers for full-time positions at two very different places. While i'm not even remotely close to taking either of them, it was a reminder that God can change the course of my life at any point He chooses, regardless of how hard i try to plan things out. Then i felt all old and adult-ish because i realized that a lot of the life choices God presents from here on out are going to be (or at least seem to be) bigger than choosing a class schedule or what to do on the weekend. Weird.

I had a fruit punch Jolly Rancher today, and it tasted exactly like that Hawaiian Punch drink, only in candy form. It was intense. Oh and i am currently obsessed with Death Cab for Cutie's Plans album. It's strange, I bought the album on a whim, and while the music and lyrics are good, neither are anything mind-blowing. It's just one of those solid albums that seeps deeper into you each time you listen to it.
