play along with me aright? be descriptive and imaginative let you decide.

aright first, if you were to take a journey and take an animal with you, which animal would you take, and list three adjectives why you would.

before starting off on your journey you've got to stop by home, just for a moment, tell me the first thing you see of your home...be descriptive in your details and tell me the mood and feeling of your environment.

then you step inside, what do you see, whats the lighting like, how do you feel etc etc.

okay now you're ready after stopping in your home to being your adventure. you and your animal start off at a cave. its dark so you'll have to carry (a) candle(s), how many will you take with you? how will you enter your cave? send in your animal first? go together? so forth...

once you exit the cave your at a river, and you're to cross it...once again how will you cross?

then you are across and at a cottage, and there are white and red roses. you are to pick a dozen into a bouquet, how will you arrange your flowers?

in your cottage you are to grow crops of any sort, what would you grow, how would you pick your crop, how large is your land?

to be continued.

I was only recently reminded what writing to people means. yaks like write to me, call me! like I want to hear from you! ahhh I see yak, oh thats what she means, write from the heart. okay.

funny but theres a nepenthes in this house, I'm happy to see you old friend. I wish you were mine though back home, have you grown? are you capturing critters in your pitchers?

I've got to work on swearing. but bak take me home and fishing.

같이 (together)

Is something still...I need to grow in.

Even at church, I'm part of a team, we serve and its a good thing. Then we're let loose (i am) into the crowd around the snacks and I'm hopeless. I could barely manage to approach anybody so I went and looked at the books on the table. I'm so akward( in the way it should be good, cause akward people are interesting) but I refuse to be akward and be akward with people, get it? I get sucked down in the akward instead of using akward for good. i drives me to where I leave. and I didn't go bowling, and didn't celebrate anitas and brians birthday. cause peter your a lil ... I should tell myself it isn't about me. but I do so then these things I do are 1 conceded, 2 selfish, 3 not family like. and when I leave I feel free, but what good would it be if everybody disappeared and I was left alone, feeling free?

I left drawing class, wandered with joseph for a while, then after we left I wandered some more, trying to shop with no success. I left for home after telling hannah I was to cashed to come out. Which I rode a bus today to 고천(go chan) instead of 고촌(go chon) so I didn't even end up going to my pottery studio cause I was an hour on the other side of town. haha dumby. continuing I went home, came and ate dinner with my dad mmmhm and mmhmm and we talked some. I'm getting a little better at the dinner talking, but its hit or miss. more or less less. anyways i've been getting shot the idea of not going to college (me is like I think itd be good to go to college) but my sam sansaengnem teacher was like well i talked to a friend and i think for you to take the most out of learning ceramics, you should learn under a master...weird, just calling it master. anyways I couldn't agree more, cause as far as art school goes its pretty surface based, so we'll see, if it goes well I'll be in college by march, and occasionaly go see a master potter. that was good, and my dad just said so you want to study under a master instead of going to college? I was like yeah but I think i'td be good to go to college. wow how chill is he, he doesn't even mind if I drop out. which I haven't. keu keu keu hannah kill me.

so I was like nobody going to do any exercise tonight, cause they usually do their routine at night, but I came home early today. nobody went so I should have asked the juyoung if she wanted to come out with me, but I didn't. needs an inviting spirit. so I went, skated out front, back and forth it was aright. I could use a friend but I met a boy outside, we talked for a while, kids are the strangest things, but their aright.

anyways how you doing? i'm aright.

I found a classical guitar on the street last night, full of dust it was sitting outside under the awning, busted strings and all that good stuff.



















hannah this is for you.. I feel quite (fill this word) pretty gay works.

Saturday, July 26, 2008

I drove the streets of seoul for the first time ever today in a car i'm not worthy to drive keu keu keu 91 acura nsx. I entered the base and was like thats my dads whip. I met my dad and hes like you gotta walk to the restraunt, or you can take that car...i'm like okay word and then just go park it at the apartment. we drove and ate, drove to the px but I couldn't get in cause I didn't have my ration card, then we didn't go park it but went for a joy ride instead. we tried going up namsan but cut it short due to time. but I'd be happy with a vw beatle. ^^ like that black one across the street super old school.

I got stuck in traffic, realized having a car was stupid, so I turn back to public transportation as being key. late enough I got home, helped my dads girl friend with the groceries and showered and dressed. my dad lectured me on wearing proper and clean clothes, american clothes blah blah imagery blah blah blah I don't really care. but hes like were getting you a suit tomorrow...okay whatever dad...i'm actually kinda diggin the idea after the matter. after the lecture i'm like 괜찮어? is it okay? haha he laughed for some reason, I guess the fact that I just didn't take him seriously at all. like every day he slips in taking out my nose ring with his lectures and I'm like haha...nervous turtle...sure dad, someday. but hes a good mentor these days, somebody i've needed to get to know. and hes teaching me things, like get your responsibilities done right away, now hes trying to teach me to wear clean clothes, and all what I need to get down on is being on time.

So i dressed, and hes like youve only got 30 minutes and your going across town, what do you need? just go. I said cell phone and camera...oh yeah shoes. so I'm supposedly twenty minutes late to the 6 o'clock wedding that started at 6:30. good jorb pastor christian and erin, way to know I'd be late..keu keu keu yeah right. and as i'm on the train I text hannah, I forgot my INVITATION! as a joke. and I text pat, thanks for the clothes, other wise I'd look like a crackhead...to be posted (me looking like THE crackhead from chapelle show)

yeah doodle doodle dabbla dabble dancing..! Stronger came on and my mediocre rock and be a stranger on the outside jumped with raised arms and I enterd the circle with my sudo c walk and christians like go peter go peter. but I was like christian I hope this is your best day ever. period.

two people come in Gods presence, to be united as one, to be given each other so perfectly. God I'm... jokingly Da Me was like your going to be my dance partner right? i was like sure. but the one grab a partner song I ran to grab her but shes like give me a minute...whats that. I turned back and saw elise walking to her seat and it was nice, being in that intimate setting again, under good intentions. It was nice seeing everybody in a group again, but there all trickling away.

I came home, was like no don't please. only 10 minutes. I did pick out my peices for my porfolio though which was required. but now i'm killing time, listening to sigur ros and watching that video we watched at hannahs, and I left my 4gb by your window on top of of a book or something hannah. okay. but now its 140 and I shouldn't be sitting here

so I think my dads evening was good, cause his whistling and singing. this is of the moment. keu keu keu I should stop cause i'm embarrasing him...keu keu keu bye

title it

throwing it back...semi old school

with some fugees, boys II men, eminem, some trenchtown rock.

I took like my small amount of music from hannah, on a portable usb drive that dangles from my cellular phone.  

Super flustered after trying to write an essay, I ended up taking out two huge paragraphs, pwehh less is more I suppose.  The things I see, a white lap top, with a little yellow duck sticker next to the web cam.  An empty mocha starbucks coffee glass, an empty caramel bucket, apple plug in, slr, febrrezz ipod charger bangles lotion nail polish finger nail clipper harddrive water 100000000dollar check skull drawing smoking skull tapestry giant coopers phone number on a torn paper bear claw pillow s/e asia ronly piles of clothes a dozen water bottles hiden in the cubbard rubber band box blankets shoes duck tape cereal box contax solution deoderant empty coffee can coke can bakass garbage bag mo jazzy flyer moleskin scarf piles of clothes socks mittens slppers glasses cases hobo microwave  books dvd box set(unknown) what is it?  postcards mirror, suitcase yellow shoe,  its still early, cool man" shit so much trash behind me that I didn't see murakami book bottles my murakami book (max check out murakami) did anna give you that?  haha no I sort of acuired it..." you ass hole".  hehe haha can you buy toilet paper and water?  ^^give me five minutes...never!  nujabes is so good.  blanks old glasses, dust , yes I see dust.  canon box, green bag that looks like a vest haha, i'm going to miss pat face mast, god we spent so much time together, a disgusting amount of time together, i mean that in a good way.  do you read my blog.  yes.  yes as in... some outkast reflection old blog posts

hmm ohhhhh one of my favs nausica of the valley of wind beer can freshly opened ^^ i'm just straight kickin it aint nobody as dope as me i'm just so...nah not really 

so in the days of rome, they used to use sponges on sticks sitting in  salt water sketch book ou est le petit prince wow kunming train ticket ghostwriter gimme me shelter...please. thank you. I love you. ^^

we watched a kelly clarkson video, but she has a super good guitarist with her, makes me miss...things... keu keu keu

take: andrew bird, modest mouse, mogwai, of montreal, pixies cranberries, got the bobbing head happening

i've got a sore throat, why?  I could go for a show, but tickets are crazy expensive here.   wtf blind melon is putting on a show...why?

gross"

shit cause i'm not a huge fan, but sigur ros is going to minneapolis, 9/25, when can I go home?

anyways its hella beautiful.  like where I would book my ass a ticket home...or fly to japan in october.  its probably one of the things I miss most.." shows.  period.  hannah.  but i concur. do you concur?

i want to cry because its so beautiful.  and its so sad because it says mpls, when they rarely tour.  seul pa so bitter sweet and lovely.  i' think im in love.  and she screams ahhh FUCK! and its so sad because shes going next weekend.  now in my inside i'm shouting FUCK!  

i'm like maybe the things I don't like I end up loving...keukeukeu, like you..."im flatered to be compared to sigur ros.  environmental expression, how scenary reflects music.  

so maybe...how do I obtain money?  yeah I know but really can you do something peter man?  like teach more english...boong screw that.  

what artists came from minnesota?  bob dylan...prince...you guys win.  hollar.

omg red rocks.. someday i'll be there.

and ice land.  i'll be there someday.

Its pretty inspiring, watching documentaries, especially on music.  a combination of two expressions, piggy backing off each other.  maybe i'm to ambitious, and i'm at no point to be.  not even in school but should it matter.no it shouldn't hinder me.  but do i have time, where do my mornings go, who can give me lessons?  i'm just a student, how can I expect to create when I cant be above the teachings.  but its beautiful, and I have learned, use your mind for something.  create a project, take charge and create a project.  but my excuse for life has been talk is cheap.  so fuck man.

transform please

when I go home I want to;

Have a wicked dance party, to wicked dance party standards. I dont think i've experienced this. Like look down or something to an extreme of what justice seems.

well come on. wouldn't you like to party with me?

ㅋㅋㅋ on time we threw a party at amars house. I think we had a keg. and I brought my own cup ㅋㅋㅋ but moving on we totally denied this one girl all night cause she had to drive. I remember walking in, seeing the krew chillen around a grill, cups in hand. thats always a good sight. oh weird I think halfway through the night julia drove me and max to my house and we picked up like guitars and amps and shit. woe I miss her. she was just down. anyways all the nights at this dudes house are just great. so chilled drank whatever we do and it was my mission to not pass out. so when I was at that point I explored looking for a place to crash, I guess I failed because apparantly I did black out and this is what my friends say. Yeah we were just chillen in amars room and you came through the door and just lied right in the middle of the floor, passed out smiling. we shot you like 20 times with the air zookah and your hair would poof and settle, and you were still passed out smiling. hahah I left such a mess in the morning, I was hung over and just didn't want to help, so I got dropped off like near first thing. haha I talked to the kid later hes like what the fuck you even left your shoes hahah and juan still has them to this day. whyd you have to wear my shoes anyways?

julia gulia and I













and this is a quarter of us (and the potential)

I'm stuck on this thing. Internet is killing me.

but might as well say something. Like it isn't about me. so I'll just umm break out of this "shell" thats been created. I guess i'm more focused on communicating as well. I can't remember but I realized talking is so important in knowing somebody. but I guess thats a no brainer.

Talk is cheap though, so lets stay tuned to see if I enjoi. I talked to a random guy on the subway next to me...I kept thinking he knew I wasn't american, So I was like where are you from my brother.. and we talked for a few stops and I said thanks and left him.

but its that burning I get, when they expect me to say something, then I've got to drive through processes, okay your going to have to say something eventually so mine as well just do it already..okay counting down 10 9 okay at 7 your doing this. sometimes it works, others time like in shows where i'm like okay get in front of that person, move get a better spot 10 9876654321 and i'm still stuck. probably cause i'm just to content. not to mention it sucks but I care about others feelings to much. not like that but like am I being noisy, inappropriate, a nusance. hmm so these are some things we've got to take care of.

I met a person, she used to be quiet, but now she actually talks a lot... I was like howd that happen? she didn't know. I guess thats not everything. I should probably go meet hannah. later
Hannah

yes i'm going to the gallery

and no i didn't see joseph

2:48amPeter

what time ish?

2:48amHannah

i'm meeting her at 130

2:49amPeter

ic

2:49amHannah

oh

2:49amPeter

maybe then

2:49amHannah

so

i looked aty our paper

and tweaked the grammar and spelling mistakes

2:49amPeter

oh yeah how is it?

2:49amHannah

i like what you wrote but

2:49amPeter

oh must be a bunch of those

2:49amHannah

i think you should maybe

tweak the structure of it?

liek the format

and simplify it

2:49amPeter

hmmm

yeah it was pretty raw

that was like one go, so I havent even looked at it myself

i kinda need one of the koreans to help me translate that thing to...

2:50amHannah

sunsengnim isn't?

i still think you should shorten it

b/c some of the things you say more than once

so you could easily trim it

2:51amPeter

hmm, so you want to send me what you fixed and go off that?

2:51amHannah

for sure

i double spaced

i think your

plan of study

is good

so you don't have to change that part

2:52amPeter

does it need more?

2:52amHannah

mm

if anything, i htink it needs less

and like.. more focus on format

2:53amPeter

whats format mean?

2:53amHannah

b/c to my knowledge.. all of these essay type things... people like things in small packages

oh like

in what order you talk about things

and the way you split paragraphs

2:53amPeter

oh yeah, i'm prety random, oganization was always my weakest link

ㅋㅋ thats lame

okay so you sending it over?

2:54amHannah

yes hold on

well

i'll go to art studio tomorrow

we can talk it over

i think like

if you concentrate the similar stuff into a simpler format

it can be a lot more effective

in what you're trying to say

2:55amPeter

yeah I guess I do like the follow me here and following me there, maybe not so effective

lots of hints no bueno

2:55amHannah

yeh

it kind of goes back and forth

b/c i think you were trying to go somewhat chronologically

in like a timeline

2:57amPeter

maybe I think your write

i cant remember what I wrote that well tho

2:58amHannah

it's not about changing what you wrote

just changing how the reader reads it

2:58amPeter

hmm good point

2:59amPeter

youve just officially made the header of my blog

3:01amHannah

hahahaha you're on crack

3:01amPeter

maybe i'll go die now. cya tomorrow?

i can't sleep, nor have I attempted to. I'm just listeing to these four songs on repeat. I think I want to die. ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ seriously
i'm so bored. go to bed dude. ohhhh best song ever fucking rock on nokia cell phone ring . oh I havent drank coffee in over 2 weeks, and I had one two many cups today. but that was like at 5. damnnnn
i'm so bored. go to bed dude.
so I now understand what hannah experiences when she sits at her computer till 2 in the morning, not doing anything. except listening to look down as loud as possible. still not loud enough!


the mall area...sigh.
















calhoun
fuck

haha homesick

thats what this is.
Its so hard to understand when you don't understand. haha like you might have a hard time understanding that. hahah gosh I don't even want to get into it.

I made a new friend today, and saw an old friend today. My new friend is this giant sculture thats a O. and I rock back and forth 10 feet with the whooshing of my rolling wheels. ahhhh freedom.

but no..i think i'm still a little shy, cause it takes a while for me to get up. and I wait for peoples backs to do my tricks. and I think of all the things that would get me in trouble, even tho they wouldn't. and fuck the police coming straight from the underground! ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

I came back to the fridge and grabed a pre made sanwich, what areyou doing in there pre made already? but filled up a liter of water that i'm about to grab right now cause shittt i forgot about it!I thought I did, imagining it overflowing from that little water tap.

So juansome took photos for me, I should have been more specific, and you ungrateful little bastard you should be more thankful to!

my dear friend, where have your pieces gone to? sigh. to my turtle, with the cracked shell, with two tiles missing.
tear tear* *











But hello old friend, I long to swim with you.







Take me to MPLS












and let me feel your weight again













what made me happy was looking at art. I think I want to understand, cause I get super worked up when i don't understand. and I don't really dig my own made up meanings. but maybe i'd just spoil the fun.

what else can I say?

Thursday, July 10, 2008

i'm working on talking, talking talking talking.

Its... I could practice korean, but I don't talk enough to practice it, so its coming down to blah blah blah. oh boy.

How are friends so good, even when I don't talk to them for months, they're still so good to me. Reconfirms my thought that nothing is truley changing...now its just going to be extra sweet.

He doesn't do coincidence. I look on the subway map last week...there it is 주안 or Ju an. Yes and what is Juan doing for me this weekend? He goings to my moms house and taking pictures of all my peices for my portfolio. I don't know how to be more grateful.

But about talking, its like I didn't hit this kid up for sooo long, but I post on his wall with a favor, and without noticing after posting I noticed he wrote on my wall like an hour earlier...funny and weird how things work out. Anyways I've talked with him everyday since, working out details and planning, but maybe its a time thing...why don't I keep this in touch with everybody?

who knows.

I was tested. we decided to apply to another school, my teacher and I. Deadline is the 30th. We found it good because it wasn't a drawing exam but required a portfolio. So we're like okay, how many pieces do we need? 15-20. How many do you have peter? I have 6 online and 2 pieces at home. Okay but I have like 4 or 5 more at the pottery studio, can I just go take pictures of those? He calls my other teacher and they're discussing, I didn't know of what. He gets off the phone and is like okay we can send you with slide film to take pictures, but since your pieces aren't fired and glazed yet, we dont think you can fire those in time. So you can go and borrow some of his pieces and just enter them into your porfolio. How does that sound... hellla sketchy. So I said I can't do that, we'll have to work around it. We discussed and we were going to mix and match, some water color, pictures, ceramics, but the quality of the porfolio would be lacking. So it came down to what was above, and so thankful that Juan was more than obliged.

Juan Gutierrez wrote
at 2:46am
Alright man, i'll take a few pictures of each piece...i guess you can decide which one is best. Just let me know about the background then...
Peter Kang wrote
at 1:15am
yes! you'll HAVE to take a picture of Honu the turtle! I think there should be around 10 pieces but there may be more... and if you can hit an angle so you can see into the lip of bowls and vases thatd be good...like the 10th piece in the album. Ill ask about the background, friends and teachers.. but sounds like you got this, so I'm pumped..and about the disc that could work if you want to send it or my fam they've got the address, i'td be good to get everything settled and in the mail as soon as we can. my deadline is the 30th but i gotta get the files printed onto slides I need some time to organize and prepare.
Juan Gutierrez wrote
at 11:34pm
alright man i took a look at the album, the lighting wont be a problem cuz i have a tri-pod AND a flash if it comes to that, the only thing is the background. I'm not sure where i'll find something that will work well. Maybe there's something in your house? I could somehow mail you a DVD with the pictures on it...would that be feasible though?? How many pieces do you have at your house? do you have the fucking sweet turtle still
Peter Kang wrote
at 10:34am
Its the neo majolica 07 album. but word and thanks..i'll let my mom know it works with you, she gets home around 3:30 so anytime after that would be good, I think lighting should be fine around then too. but I'll get back to you again on the quality thing, I had to take some online pictures but my teacher said the pixels are a little small but they might work..i'll let you know again tomorrow.
Juan Gutierrez wrote
at 2:50am
which one is your pottery photo album?? I guess i can't find it. Yea i could probably do something on saturday. Thats the one thing i'm not sure how i'll do. I have a terrible computer at home, which is why i dont put up any of my pictures. Do you need the actual files or could they be put up online for viewing?
Peter Kang wrote
at 1:07pm yesterday
hey can you take a look at my photo album of the different pottery, and try and do something along the lines of that? I talked with my mom, she said that saturday at 4 she'll be at home and have all the pieces out, so that would be awesome if you took photos of everything. just make yourself at home and what not. what do you think is the best way to send the files tho? can you zip them or something?
Juan Gutierrez wrote
at 3:28am yesterday
haha thats pretty weird man. Yea man i'll be in minneapolis, i dont know if you heard but brady and I got a sweet house near dinkytown with a hot tub and a keggerator hhaha. Yea dude i could definately take some pictures of your work. I have an internship that i work at 5 days a week, 9 to 5 every day so i might be able to do it after that or on the weekends. I guess talk to your mom and see if she can work around that schedule...
Peter Kang wrote
at 3:37pm on July 8th, 2008
woe I hopped on and wrote on your wall, and then noticed you wrote on my wall... but i'm probably coming in oct... cu then? but I'm asking these things cause I'm trying to apply to art school out here, i'm putting together my portfolio and I have works at home I need pictures of... if I can have my mom gather up my pieces you think you'd be able to take some good photos of them? I duno if its studio quality but just my work as a subject with a simple background...you probably know better than me...i'd have her make you lunch and stuff if you have any time?
