One of the most sarcastic comments out there - "I'm not impressed until someone swims from the bottom of the Mariana Trench and then climbs Everest". The fact that the bottom of the Mariana Trench is just as brutal as the surface of Venus in terms of pressure (you'd implode or flattened faster than oceangate or that tin can of sub trying to navigate the bottom). Read between the lines, "Morans". It's actually disguised as, "WoW, I am impressed". How can anyone start from the Dead Sea, traverse several countries and then climb Everest. Makes skiing down Everest quite tame. Now that's a Marathon haha. The World's Deadliest (let's count thy ways) - Hikes, Trails, Roads, Mountains, and drum roll please - Lean Cuisine's Meatloaf. I hate Meatloaf to begin with. But on top of Lean Cuisine making it, it would taste like someone's 90 day old Dookie still floating in the toilet. Sorry, Choe - I'm just perpetually bored. In a sense, that's what happens when one is completely numb emotionally, and no longer gives a fuck about what happens to the goddamn world. If it ends, it ends. The only saving grace - is my family (even then, I have trouble mustering enough energy to be responsible). Music is a nice escape however. I relate to the individuals who have been treated or felt "invisible". You have to have the "I Do Not Give A Fuck" and just create. Confidence and being assertive is necessary. Sunday, June 07, 2026 Everyone knows Tony from LC Signs, and how he became famous for hilariously reacting to disturbing or abnormal video clips that were just ripe to be mocked (while smoothly transitioning to his sales pitch) haha. Now get to know the company itself, LC Signs - while I have no need for signage, I haven't seen any other high quality products and effective marketing like this. They have my support and sub. I think we all need to take a break from watching funny stuff, and sometimes to just re-focus on serious content. What a bummer. It's been cloudy with showers recently, so to spot Jupiter and Venus on the 9th (when they come very close) is a no-go. But who knows. We are not in the ideal location for these types of activities unfortunately. Saturday, June 06, 2026 The classic Sungwon Cho video of him reciting every line in the classic Peter Pan animation without looking at the scenes themselves, but hearing only the lines as if he were dubbing them over. Extra special since he's a voice actor anyway - a damn, convincing one at that. It isn't an easy thing to do, but doable. It's possible that I can do a bit of this with "Office Space" haha - a film which nearly every line is quotable. Seeing Joe Jitsukawa sit Homer Simpson-style semi-slouched, and with a bit of that beer belly exposed, it was enough to click and like. Haha. I usually never read the subject line - thumbnails are always clickbait. Just stick with the creators you are subbed to, and they actually deliver (not irrelevent garbage). As deadpan as Homer Simpson replying to Ned Flanders asking, "Can I Try Some Of Your Scrump-diddly-delicious Donuts?". Answer: NO. On the subject matter at hand, for some of us - we're always perpetually tired or not in the mood haha. Especially with the likes of Bobby Lee as well as myself, we never had that problem to begin with (as incels / rejects). So it was just easy to find any opportunities to lay down, and begin snoozing or sleeping - to just pass the time away. That's why we are "The Slept Kings". When it comes to Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2", it's all about breaking it down bit by bit, and taming it. Sustaining the energy in the fast, energetic of the last section without compromising the notes nor the tempo is probably more difficult than some Rach 3 parts. Thoughts on the Scherzo in B-flat minor in another blog - a favorite I began learning back in the day, but quit. The weather has been a doozy - it can stay cold for awhile, and then all of sudden - it's hot. Hot, cold, hot cold - the new pattern. "Super El Nino" - sounds like a goddamn wrasstlin' gimmick haha. Who knows - perhaps there'll be fat character eventually. Friday, June 05, 2026 So Jimmy Zhang's HOF Season 3 finished awhile ago, with a whopp-ing 9 or 10 episodes. Unfortunately, I didn't get to finish it. The target audience is obviously 20+ somethings, so in that regards - it wasn't relatable. However - it is Asian programming. More power to them. I'm not sure about his new show, "House of Games" (a refreshing departure from dating shows however). While fan favorites are always nice to have, I'm more about fresh or new characters / contestants given chances or opportunities. Quang Tran's How to eat balkan breakfast - loads of calories right there haha. And loads of noisy chewing and crunching, only Quang Tran knows how. Hahaha. I liked how Henry Cho calmly countered some yokel's heckling or roasting. If it were Bobby Lee, he'd be crying I bet haha. Unfortunately, if you're Asian, subtle racism still happens. Silving lining - everything eventually disappears and dies. Thursday, June 04, 2026 Some Just Kidding News tidbits: 12 Valedictorians - mostly Asian. I can believe that haha. Listen - tell yer fuckin' spouse to call Jenny Craig instead of Little Debbie haha. We know how tempting them birthday cake packs can be. Fat David So humor is so back haha. "Siri, you bloodeh bhenchod bastaaad! Take meh to mah hotehehehel nohw!". I suppose some would trust Siri over them working in a vomit-inducing subway without wearing any serving gloves. Right, Pippien Perry Parappel? haha. It's time for a roll-call, to keep my mind organized in terms of current practice repertoire: Chopin, Scherzo in B-flat minor Chopin, Scherzo in B minor Chopin, Scherzo in C# minor Liszt, Danse Macabre (aiming before Halloween) Liszt, Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 (long-term project) Schubert, Wanderer Fantasy (long-term project) Beethoven, Appassionata Sonata (long-term project) *any short, inspiring piece that I happen to decide to upload (perhaps a video game piece or a classic song).
