My mom only had one eye. I hated her... she was such an embarrassment. My mom ran a small shop at a flea market. She collected little weeds and such to sell anything for the money we needed she was such an embarrassment. There was this one-day during elementary school. It was field day, and my mom came. I was so embarrassed. How could she do this to me? I threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school... "Your mom only has one eye?” And they taunted me. I wished that my mom would just disappear from this world so I said to my mom, "mom. Why don’t you have the other eye? If you're only going to make me a laughingstock, why don’t you just die?" my mom did not respond. I guess I felt a little bad, but at the same time, it felt good to think that I had said what I’d wanted to say all this time. Maybe it was because my mom hadn’t punished me, but I didn’t think that I had hurt her feelings very badly. That night... I woke up, and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. My mom was crying there, so quietly, as if she was afraid that she might wake me. I took a look at her, and then turned away. Because of the thing I had said to her earlier, there was something pinching at me in the corner of my heart. Even so, I hated my mother who was crying out of her one eye. So I told myself that I would grow up and become successful. Cause I hated my one-eyed mom and our desperate poverty. Then I studied real hard. I left my mother and came to Seoul and studied, and got accepted in the Seoul University with all the confidence I had. Then, I got married. I bought a house of my own. Then I had kids, too. Now I’m living happily as a successful man. I like it here because it's a place that doesn’t remind me of my mom. This happiness was getting bigger and bigger, when. What? Who’s this? ...It was my mother... ...still with her one eye. It felt as if the whole sky was falling apart on me. My little girl ran away, scared of my mom's eye. And I asked her, "Who are you?" "I don’t know you!!!" as if trying to make that real. I screamed at her," How dare you come to my house and scare my daughter!" "GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!" And to this, my mother quietly answered, "oh, I’m so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address," and she disappeared out of sight. Thank good ness... she doesn’t recognize me. I was quite relieved. I told myself that I wasn’t going to care, or think about this for the rest of my life. Then a wave of relief came upon me... one day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house. So, lying to my wife that I was going on a business trip, I went. After the reunion, I went down to the old shack, that I used to call a house...just out of curiosity there, I found my mother fallen on the cold ground. But I did not shed a single tear. She had a piece of paper in her hand.... it was a letter to me.

Q: How are men and parking spots alike?
1. In many states the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.
Some people love cats. So much so that they surround themselves with cats. Others have this grudge against them for some unknown reason. Well I think I just found the reason.
Now that we are all in high school we must think that we are totally cool and mature but we are not. Yes as much as it hurts ( the truth is painful) it’s true and everyone should admit it. But regardless of this we all think that we need boy friends ( well the girls anyway and maybe some of the boys) 90% of the conversations that the girls in our grade have are centred around boys. And boy some hormone are really raging and kicking ass while others remain blatantly non-existent. The thing is that we as the generation of today should be striving toward a more gender accepting society but I’m getting off the topic. So boyfriends right what exactly is the point. Oh yes of course I don’t have first hand experience , does that make me naive ? I don’t think so. I happen to go to high school so I do observe at close quarters ( no I’m not doing a study of teenage life forms) anyway one question I do feel obliged to ask is how exactly is an exchange of saliva romantic? I have asked around (believe me) No one , not one soul has given me an answer. Let me go through the whole boyfriend process for you.
OK. Pay close attention. Here is a very simple little test

Summer is here and millions of birds are about to begin their annual migration from Northern Asia to nest and breed in the warmth of Africa, But this time the friendly flocks might bring with them a not-so-pleasant package. The deadly “Bird Flu”. Why not so pleasant? Well in 1918 the flu killed 50 million people– this time it could be far worse. The bird flu also a.k.a. H5N1 virus is a rampant virus that infects birds and the people who handle them. In humans this virus attacks the human’s lungs but the worst part is that it kills one out of every two people it attacks. Before the world thought it was a middle eastern problem that is until it started surfacing in Europe a few weeks ago. In turkey two thousand birds were diagnosed positive aswell as two parrots that arrived in Britain from South America, as were two swans on a lake in Croatia these diagnosed birds give form to scientists worst nightmares. The bird flu is spreading around the globe. But for now the virus is mainly confined to birds but – in something that sounds like the plot of a science fiction movie– the virus has the unique ability to cross over from birds to humans. Our continent Africa ,because of it’s problems with poverty and disease, will be the most vulnerable target. Co-ordinator for the bird and human flu (UN), David Nabarrow says it might be impossible to control the virus because of lack of expertise and funds. The Bird flu is a virus that we should all be aware of because it is hitting the globe so fast that we be conscious of ourselves and of all the other diseases and viruses going around. We can never be 100 % aware but together we can make it right

Someone asked Sienna Miller what lessons she'd learned over the past year. Surprisingly she didn't say, "When I ask Jude if he's cheated on me, and he says no, and yet he's lying in a pile of lipstick, naked women, and condom wrappers, I probably shouldn't believe him." What she did say that the biggest lesson she's learned this year is "hold your cards close to your vest."
In the last 100 years the Earths temperature has increased by half a degree Celsius this is not a lot but our ecosystem is fragile so this affects the Earth already. In addition to this in 100 years the earths surface temperature will rise by another 2.5 degrees Celsius the sea level has increased by about 15 - 20 cm in these last 100 years. 70 % of the world’s fresh water and ice is Antarctica. By 2100 the sea would have risen by 95 cms, which basically means all sea front property will become part of Atlantis. This is if the polar ice caps keep deteriorating at 9% per a year. This disaster due mainly to the green house effect is also due to the indiscretion of the human race. The green house effect is not necessarily a bad thing in fact it is a good thing because without it the earths temperature would be about -14 degrees Celsius and unable to support life but if the amount of greenhouse gases over power the ozone in the atmosphere we will have dangerous Uv rays entering the atmosphere in addition to the problem of the melting polar ice caps. We have all heard it a million times but heed it this millionth and one time be careful about how much deodorant you are using and how much air pollution you are causing. Because it might end costing humanity its life and trust me this will make Catrina look like a spring breeze.

Albert Einstein, this man was a great scientist to many people but I’m not so sure that he actually is such an icon. Sure his theory changed and revolutionized science but what has E=mc2 done for the world. But firstly what does this gibberish mean? Energy equals mass at the speed of light squared? To me only one thing comes to mind The Atomic Bomb. When Einstein created this theory he did not realise that it would create this weapon. The atomic bomb killed thousands when it dropped on Hiroshima, China. Albert Einstein did not realise that this theory of five character could destroy so many lives. I realise that he did try to stop the government when he found out what this theory could actually do but the fact remains it was his theory. I do not disagree that he was anything, but extraordinary but I cannot argue with what facts say. I know that this man, one single man who was a genius in his own right, did not mean to create the atomic bomb but just because he did not mean to does not erase it. He is still an idol and an icon but maybe less so. What I do know is that I admire Albert Einstein who has inspire me to look beyond the surface of today and look to tomorrow.
We as the teenagers of today are being dictated in so many ways that it is a wonder that we are all not clones. We are dictated by the “popular people” the principle and school rules by television and worst of all magazines. These things all tell us different things. Be this way dress like that don’t do that talk like this. What if I don’t want to be like this? Reject ,freak ,nerd , outcast! Why are the children of today so cruel. The greatest icons of today are the ones who dared to be different and boy did they have a hard time of it. The thing is that we are being dictated without us even realizing it. We the generation next have been hoodwinked ,like babies , into believing that this is how we actually want to live. Surely there must someone out there who asks themselves why. But the thing is that although some people are idealists most of us are just drones who believe there is nothing more than what we actually see on the surface. We are a generation of shallow drones who look at the appearance of someone before we look at who they actually are as a person. We have orientated ourselves to believe that the people who look like cover girls of seventeen (and who are just as rich) are actually going to be the nicest possible people and we make them popular and obey every command. So I ask you do you really want to live this life??
What do we really know about America? Aside from the fact it’s got a huge entertainment industry and it’s supposed to be this great land where all your dreams come true. Is it really all its put up to be? Let me tell you, I thought America was an OK place, because, you know, every place has its problems, but America has the world’s problems ten-times over. Most of those problems the government has caused and, off course, due to a “so-do-we” speaking gentleman that the rest of the world suffers. That aside, the real question I wanna ask is, “Is America actually the famed “land of the free” that it’s supposed to be? Let’s explore that, shall we? America was once said to be a place of good fortune, superior intelligence and populace. But what it has become is apparent to even its ’better-off’ people. Lets take 45% percent of this country’s population. That’s a pretty big figure, right? Well, that’s how many people in the US suffer from Obesity. These high-powered, career obsessed people lead unhealthy lifestyles, not only due to the pollution but to the fact that every 9 km there is Mickey D’s (a.k.a. McDonalds). Not a clinic, not a grocery store, not a police station, not even a garage. A McDonalds. To cut them some slack, there are thousands of other fast food places all over America. Besides the influence of advertising on these consumers, it is more expensive to make a meal at home then to order. And here’s something to think about, all you McDonald’s Fans out there, a majority of the ozone destruction over America is due to the fact that McDonald’s destroys thousands of acres of forestry, to create pastures for their many cows (not the ones that created McDonalds). Guess what? You know those cows? They are killed to create those Happy Meals that you love so much. (No offence, but after I found that out, I didn’t feel so Happy). You think South Africa’s crime is so bad? Well guess what. There are more privately owned handguns in America than anywhere else in the world. “ What the hell, let’s bomb ‘em anyways!” this quote from the esteemed President Bush diminishes America’s already tattered reputation even further. The famous “So do we” speech sent thousands of Iraqi's to their deaths. So in conclusion America “land of the idiots”
When you have to have something interesting to say or your life is really cool or whatever, that is when you tell people. Most people like to tell the whole world. But the problem is you can't meet the whole world right? So what do they do? Simple they start a blog . My life and whats going on in it is not very interesting. So I'm going to turn my blog into a newsletter. My newsletter to me is not just words , it's ideas and how I feel. It's about what I think is going on in the world. It's something to make people think , to let them know that there is more if they go a little bit further, that people do care about ideas as crazy as they are. But from now on it's not just me it's open to anyone . If you want to you can write articles and submit them. They will be published most of the time. Any way in the mean time I shall start publishing articles I have written my self.
