David and Sarah Kim's Matchmaking Service
Sarah and I are going to start a matchmaking service where we are going to hook up all our single friends. If you would like for us to introduce you to our other single friends, then let me know by emailing me. All my friends are good people. I'm a pretty good judge of character. Remember, everyone knows that marriage is the key to happiness. Don't let society tell you otherwise. If you find the right person, then life will be fantastic. Actually, there have been several studies that indicate that married people are generally happier and healthier than single people. I want everyone to experience the happiness that I have. Don't be shy people. Live life to the fullest. Carpe Diem! That's my motto. Let us introduce you to the love of your life. Also, remember I'm a reverend too. So, if it works out, I can marry you guys. I'm also an attorney so in case things don't work out. . .(I'm just kidding about the last part. Forget that awful last sentence.) We'll set you up with your dream girl or guy.
Celebrating Davemas
December 18 is my birthday. I like to refer to it as Davemas. Davemas is a time when you celebrate life. On that day, people should live life to the fullest. You've got to live life to the max! It's also about spending time with loved ones. It's not about giving gifts like the outrageously commercialized xmas. I think that Jesus would throw a fit if he saw what was happening on his birthday. Xmas has become a day of material excess. People are getting stressed out waiting in lines. They're beating each other up trying to snatch up the last of the 70% off items. People are getting in more credit card debt buying expensive and useless junk. People have forgotten about loving family and friends and instead have focused on accumulating stuff.
My birthday has always been celebrated together with xmas b/c my family was always busy working during the holiday season. They never had time to go out, because my birthday was always during the extremely busy weekend before xmas. It was a good way to save on money, annoyance of getting gifts, and saving time. I didn't mind too much, because I didn't care about getting gifts or celebrating birthdays anyway. Each birthday reminds me of my inevitable death. I want to stay young forever. That's why it's important to live life to the extreme. I don't want to regret all the stuff I didn't do when I get older later.
I want to focus my life on making great memorable experiences. I want to do things that I love doing. I want to focus it on family and friends. I don't want to be pressured by what society says. I've always been an iconoclast anyway. Some people think that I'm eccentric. Other people have used other words. I don't really care what other people think about me if it's something that I want to do. Of course, I want to be nice to other people and want others to like me. But, if it's something that I want to do and it's not infringing on other people's rights, than I don't give a @#$% what other people think. I don't want to keep up with the Joneses. At the Kim Family household, we spend time being thankful for what we have and we just simply appreciate one another.
Anyway, enough of my ranting. This past Friday, our office let us leave early, but I stayed at the office anyway because I had to go to my friend, Andy Nagai's office party that was close to my work. I helped out Andy take portrait photos of his co-workers. After I had a few drinks, I started breakdancing, spinning, and handstanding on the dance floor. I'm waiting for Andy to send me the pictures that he took so that I can upload it to my blog.
On Saturday, I did the laundry, washed my car, recycled, and did other crappy errands we all have to do. What can I say? I like to be clean and organized. I don't like to clean, but I hate being dirty more so I do it. I'm pretty anal and obsessive. Oh well.
Sunday, I went to church and taught Sunday School. I hope no one blames me if they grow up to be messed up. I went to Sarah's parents' house and played with her nephew Sung Ho. I said "hi" to Whoony, Sarah's younger brother, who is on break from NYU Dental School. Then, I spent a nice quiet evening alone with my wife, Sarah. It's nice to cherish each other. I know that time goes by way too fast so I want to appreciate every minute of life. Everyone knows that marriage is the key to happiness.

PJ is Coming Back!
I decided to post this video that was taken by Keith just because it was saved on my camera. All it shows is me giving "daps" to PJ who is coming back to work at the office.

The Wongs
Su Wong marries Lee Wong. The next year, the Wongs have a new baby.
The nurse brings over a lovely, healthy, bouncy, but definitely Caucasian,
white baby boy.
"Baby boy! Congratulations!" says the nurse to the new parents. "Well, Mr.
Wong, what will you and Mrs. Wong name the baby?"
The puzzled father looks at his new baby boy and says, "Well, two Wongs don't
make a white, so I think we will name him Sum Ting Wong.”

Things You Wish You Can Say At Work
This is an old list that has been going around, but I'll post it anyway. I like #37 the best.
1. I can see your point, but I still think you're full of shit.
2. I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce.
3. How about never? Is never good for you?
4. I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.
5. I'm really easy to get along with once you people learn to worship me.
6. I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter.
7. I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message.
8. I don't work here. I'm a consultant.
9. It sounds like English, but I can't understand a word you're saying.
10. Ahhh... I see the screw-up fairy has visited us again.
11. I like you. You remind me of when I was young and stupid.
12. You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers.
13. I have plenty of talent and vision. I just don't give a damn.
14. I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth.
15. I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you.
16. Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view.
17. The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.
18. Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.
19. What am I, flypaper for freaks?
20. I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant.
21. It's a thankless job, but I've got a lot of Karma to burn off.
22. And your crybaby whiny-butt opinion would be?
23. Do I look like a people person?
24. This isn't an office; it's Hell with fluorescent lighting.
25. I started out with nothing & still have most of it left.
26. Sarcasm is just one more service we offer.
27. If I throw a stick, will you leave?
28. Errors have been made. Others will be blamed.
29. Whatever kind of look you were going for, you missed.
30. I'm trying to imagine you with a personality.
31. A cubicle is just a padded cell without a door.
32. Can I trade this job for what's behind door #1?
33. Too many freaks, not enough circuses.
34. Nice perfume. Must you marinate in it?
35. Chaos, panic, & disorder - my work here is done.
36. How do I set a laser printer to stun?
37. I thought I wanted a career - turns out I just wanted paychecks.
38. Sure, you came up with that idea.
39. I'd love to help you, but it's 5 p.m.

Make Sure You Lock the Restroom Stall
I'm sure you all know to lock the restroom stall, but make sure it's totally locked! I thought I locked the door on the restroom stall, but someone just managed to open the door somehow. The guy saw me in my most vulnerable position. I was totally humiliated and horrified. Well, almost. Now that I think about it, it could have been worse. This reminds me of one time when I was mountain biking in Schabarum Regional Park in Rowland Heights. This one crazy Asian guy tried to take a dump right in the middle of the trail. He thought he was alone and thought that he could leave a quick mess before anyone else showed up. This was about a couple miles up on the trail. Anyway, you know I always try to bike fast. I came rolling down the hill and he couldn't pull up his pants fast enough. Man! I had to witness that nastiness! I'm sure he was more embarassed than I was. If I was embarassed for him, he must have been totally shamed. But, it makes me think how he was going to wipe his butt, if he was going to at all. Yuck!
I'm glad dogs don't get embarassed taking a crap in front of their owners. I wonder if Princess Pepper, may she rest in peace, wanted me to look away while she was trying to poo when I took her for a walk.
Anyhow, I know that everyone has to poo, but everyone wants to keep that part of their daily life private. I have a hard time trying to poo when someone else is in the bathroom, and I'm sure many of you do too making doo doo. I can't even poo when my own wife, Sarah, is in the same bathroom as me.
Take the advice of David Kim-Double check to make sure the bathroom door is locked! Oh and don't poo in public. If you do, triple check to make sure no one can see you or no one is coming.
Sorry for talking too much about this unpleasant part of our lives, but it is a necessary evil. Pooing that is.

Longboarders Rule!
The hill is a lot steeper going downhill on a skateboard than it appears in the video, trust me.
