Welcome to the 4th Summer Asian Post of this summer. I feel as though this may be the last or the second-to-last one, as I can't believe that August has already hit us! That being said, I can only begin to look forward to my time in Korea this Fall. But the thought also ran across my mind: what if I was in Charlottesville in the Fall? This isn' ( Read more... )

Holy crap, it has been forever since I posted anything. Good thing I didn't call this anything with "weekly" or "bi-weekly" or similar lingo. I guess it makes sense: this is the first time in a long time where I'm sitting in my basement at night, just chillin online and watchin some TV. And what's on the tube right now? How about the WNBA? Yes ( Read more... )

Hello friends ( Read more... )

Oh yes, I have returned with periodic posts. This time, I threw the "Weekly" part out to give myself more leeway. I'll be writing in this, as I said, periodically over the summer, to keep you updated as to what's going on in the world of Jon. Is it because I love myself that much? Probably. But in reality, I'm merely attempting to provide you ( Read more... )

Hello friends. I'd first like to preface this by saying that starting with this entry, the Weekly Asian Post is going to be put on the shelf. It was a blogging experiment that actually worked wonderfully for me for the past two years. Now, I've merely grown tired of it. It's not that I don't have the time to write in it, because as you know, ( Read more... )

So I missed a week. Big deal ( Read more... )

It's incredible to think that tomorrow is the first day of Spring. It seems like just yesterday when I was getting ready to leave my house and come back to UVA, only to receive the suspension letter. It's not that my parents are being really annoying about that anymore; they've done a good job of settling back down and letting it go. I'm living ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I had the privilege of spending time with many other Christian men as we celebrated God's creation of Man. As we wrestled with arms, ingested hot dogs at high speed, threw 10-foot long pieces of wood, and ran across the most famous running spot at UVA, each man there could not help but feel that they were being given the opportunity to ( Read more... )

Before I begin writing, I'd just like to note this week's change in formatting. Basically, I'm making this entry more Facebook Note-friendly. I realize that if any of you read this journal, it probably is through Facebook, when you see in your news feed that I've posted a new entry. Anyway, I figured I'd just get that out of the way ( Read more... )

Weekly Asian Post, Vol. 105So I woke up to some very peculiar thoughts this morning, which I would love to share with you right now. What if, right now, you're living in a coma-induced world? For instance, what if you went to sleep sometime in the summer before 9th grade and have been actually sleeping since, and your "current" world is all ( Read more... )
