It was hard for me to choose the right title for this post. This thief in this picture turns out to be a man dressed up as women. Should crime now be considered as a type of art? No doubt these men are doing creative things to either to disguise themselves to avoid the policemen, or to find violent and disgusting ways to murder somebody. This crime from New Orleans happened in a hamburger shop. The thief entered in the fast food shop from the small window from the drive through passage. He held out his gun, held with his manicured fingers and took the money.

I don’t get this man. Why the hamburger shop? It probably doesn’t have much profit. The only bills I use are one and five dollar bills. I feel bad for him. How uncomfortable to crawl in and out the tiny windows and act tough stealing the money with fake boobs and hair? Please just earn your own.

A 4 hour non-sitting concert was very extremely painful and infected me with those evil viruses. At my school, Korean International School, one of the clubs, opened a fund raising concert called the Project Global Cooling Concert in order to help the global cooling project with the tickets sold. The concert took place at Hongdae, one of Korea’s hippest young partying cities. The party was held from 4:30pm through 8 pm. Although, I was able to hide the painful standing from the performers- it indeed gave me the evil sore throat. Band performers were mostly from my school. Three KIS student band performed and kept me awake with a moving head and feet, following the rhythm and beat. More surprisingly, the two faculty bands were incredible. I’ve never imagined my own teachers could be so passionate about music when they always seemed to prepare for classes. Rock on Mr. Brightman with your fabulous drum sticks and Mr. Joo with your cool stage manners and singing skills! But most of all, the SIS band, from Seoul International School, gave me goose bumps. Unlike my fellow schoolmates, it was my first time hearing and seeing the famous SIS band. Simply, they were like real professionals.  The guitarists, drummer, vocalists were outstanding and moved the whole crowd as one. I heard they had a personal website, but I don’t know the address right now. I will for sure link it on my blog!

It was a great way to help the earth and have a fantastic time experiencing the talented people at my school and fellow high school students.

Could death be studied?
For me, death cannot be studied. A crime, murder, and event can be studied, not the nature of death. Death is too natural to be studied.

But, for the smart college student in Dong Dae Moon, Korea, death is no doubt a typical human nature. He was a very smart student at one of Korea’s top colleges. On the news, it’s said that he was found hanging in his rent room with a 17 page death wish and warrant, psychologically written.

This gives me goose bumps. It makes me think of those who go too deeply into their subject of interest, as if that subject talks to them and tempts them. The student was probably thinking about suicide the whole time he was writing the long but informative 17 long page report about death and his wishes.

But maybe he didn’t want to die. Maybe he was a great student, and was studying death and writing his report for a different reason, not death. Because of the hard tough society, and the fact that it is almost impossible for his work to be published and noticed by all of us, he made a stupid move, to let people know of his 17 page report by making his death an attention grabbing subject to his 17 page work.

But no matter what I say, the smart death studier will know the real reason why he died.

What’s on the news today!!

A lonely girl friend-less college student invented a 2D fake girl friend in America. How amazing. I always imagined for a fake 2D boyfriend. Like the picture shown, the girl on the right is not n actual person. It’s a 2D, laser picture of a young woman lying down with her back facing the ceiling. Although it is not 3D, a talking robot, it definitely is an improvement from a totally lonely soul. This college student from NYU says that the computer can notice the movement of the real person and activate the 2D laser to also move its body. I would appreciate one like this! When we’re so extremely busy, if we have a temporary, only existing lover, when we want one in our bed times is extraordinary!

It also partly scares me of what loneliness and desperation can do to us. Furthermore, there are many loneliness filling items such as a pillow dressed in a man’s pajama with one arm sticking around for women to forcefully put the pillow arm around their shoulders and many more. Gee… I’d like one!

      
Hmm… I wonder what I should get my friend for her birthday? Let’s GOOGLE what summer born need for their birthdays…. What? “Students born at end of school year more likely to struggle?”

As I was randomly looking up what I should buy my May- born friend for her birthday, I got to read this article about how the UK proved that summer born tend to slip during the school year than those who were born during one of the early months of the school year. I cannot but disagree with this article, written in London pretty recently in 2007. First of all, it might be smarter to say all summer born students tend to slack rather than months at the end of the school year because the date system differs in different countries. Of course all summer born students are not stupid. Most of my friends for some reason have summer birthdays but no doubt does better in school than me, a September birthday girl. In this article, the first three paragraphs talk about how the government proved this theory… And the rest of the article is how the researchers are trying to justify the testing system for those students born during the summer time. How STUPID? They think they are justifying, but no. They are making ‘supposed to be smart’ students, like me, mad.
But one aspect I liked about this article was they compared the better grades of the September birthdays to the lower grades of August birthdays. As I was partly enjoying this pride building article, I confused my self for awhile. Although August is part of the summer season, it’s when most high schools begin their new school year. So perhaps, shouldn’t the GPA percentage of students with August birthdays be higher than students with September birthdays? Because TECHNICALLY August is when school starts, and August is the real “beginning of the school year” and September is closer to the “end of the year” and according to this article, September students should be NATURALLY stupider than August borns.

In many ways, this article is a complete nonsense and probably written for fun by researchers who think they are SO smart, just like Algy says. There are so many more aspects of the human brain that can be tested and studied. Let’s not make things complicated with BIRTHDAYS now…

Video of: Cow infected with “mad cow disease”

The new president of Korea, Lee Myung Park, has decided to allow free trading with the US. Before Lee Myung Park as the president, for the sake of Korea’s crops and peasants, importing US harvestings were illegal. Because of such limited resources, the prices were very high. Every time I went out to dinner to eat Korea’s most popular food: meat, I wondered why 150g of cow meat would sometimes cost over 40,000 won, or in US dollars, $40. If you cannot get a hold of how big 150 g is, it is definitely smaller than steaks at Outback Steak House. The reason these ‘Hanwoo’ or Korean cows are so expensive, is because the cows itself have to be raise in proper conditions. The farmers take extra care for these cows that are noticeably smaller than American cows and therefore only produce a little for us to eat. Throughout the years without importing American crops and meat, Korea’s peasants and farmers have flourished and gained abundant wealth, while consumers paid a whole lot of money to eat these luxuries lived cows. To help the consumers, Lee Myung Park has decided to allow American food. Then shouldn’t Korean citizens be happy about the new changed law? However, this is not the case. Koreans are fighting against this price lowering law because of the sick cows in the far country America. Even celebrities are publicly disagreeing and showing their complaints out to the country. Although these ill cows are very rare, Koreans are not happy with even the minor possibility of dying from eating one of the foreign cows.
But, my opinion is different. If the infected cows are a serious problem, then Americans would not eat them themselves. I have lived in the US for about 5 years and ate meat over 4 times a week, every week. Am I dead? No! Why is barbeque so very popular and famous is US? Because most people in America’s big population eat cows. My cell phone is ringing almost every 3 hours with messages that are criticizing the new president, sometimes even saying that he is our enemy and sold our historical old island, Dok Do. Even with news papers with the headline similar to, “The cows are safe” people are continuously in a rebelling mode with candle light movement fighting against these rare mad cows. Writing this post might make me one of Korea’s most hated students, but really- people should simmer down about these weird cows.

US Vice President who knows POTATO with an E

I was born on 1992 September 29th. My front registration number in Korea is: 920929 (I love this number). Anyways, there were some exotic happenings during the year 1992. I personally believe 1992 year borns are the most handsome, pretty, lovely, and overall gifted beings of the 21st century. No reason, it’s just me. I don’t know if all these are true, but according to Wikipedia, there are some COOL, just incredible happenings. One of my favorite is, on January 8th, George H. W. Bush threw up in front of the world in one of world’s cleanest country, Japan. Five days later, the clean but also somewhat inhumane Japanese apologized to Korean women about sexual slavery during the World War II. In El Salvador, a 12 year war was ended on January 16th, and 10 days later Russia stops threatening the US with nuclear weapons. February was a sporty month with the opening and closing of the Winter Olympics and the start of a new football season. And here’s something interesting, on February 26th, “The Supreme Court of Ireland rules that a 14-year-old rape victim may travel to England to have an abortion” (wikipedia). I guess laws did have exceptions back in those days. March was a technologic month with the release of Windows 3.1. I believe the newest version doesn’t even use numbers and more, it’s called Windows Vista. Month April and May are rather boring with deaths and accusations of Mafias. Halfway of June, the Vice President of US corrects an elementary student’s spelling in a spelling bee. How thoughtful of him to add an E at the end of the word POTATO….(?) July, August, and September are months of politics (September being a teeny bit special with my birth). In October, a serial killer of 52 people was caught, and a Japanese boy was killed knocking on a wrong door. Women were legal to become priests in England on November 11th. Looking at these researches make me feel old, I’m 15 right now! I thought war treaties were all way before my lifetime, but I guess not. 16 years ago, world was a bit chaotic, just from reading these eye grabbing events, but it saddens me that murders and crimes were not less back in those days. Although technology and politics are improving, morals of people are noticeable not improving, but even worsening every second of our lives.
