Wipe off the dust, open a new chapter on my birthday.

Well, it seems I haven't touched this in a while... Anyway, blog. Lemme get you up to date. I failed some of those finals I was telling you about a jillion years ago, so I'm gonna be headed to Avalon High as a Junior. I've sworn to get good grades and make up my credits, and also to get my ass in shape for my return to Central as a Senior. (That's right, I'll have abs and shit!)

So, what's new since last time? I went to summer school and had a fucking BLAST. My Yu-Gi-Oh deck proved strong, finally, and I passed all three classes. English was a B+. Imagine that! Me with a B+! Had some good times, learned a tiny bit of Hmong, and I think I matured a little bit. Oh, and I drew up the character select screen for "CENTRAL FIGHTER 2: SPIRIT OF THE WARRIOR". It was a big hit, hahahah! I won't forget that summer school morning spent with my daughter, either!

J4 tournament always is a helluva weekend in summer school. I went and saw the Goku Fobs*, hung out with Mary Xiong and her sisters, hung with Jeff and Keng and some other guys, and even ran into my sister. Oh, and Jeff broke up with his girlfriend. Touchy subject, but I was proud of the guy for being strong. We went and cheered up with some of that Hmong sausage.

Summer school was over and I spent a lot of time playing Final Fantasy X, Pokemon Platinum, and talking to girls on Asiantown.net. ;P Found some nice friends in them "Dachie" cousins. (Shout-out to Suburb Babe!) I also learned that telling people you're Korean on your page tends to attract Hmong girls like flies to honey. Not that it's surprising or anything.

I also went to Mai Xiong's "National American Miss (Junior Teen)" pageant this summer. I got dressed up, cheered for her (screaming "KICK SOME ASS, MAI XIONG~!" from the audience), met her mom and niece, and hung with everyone. I was very proud of Mai Xiong even though she didn't win that day! I also think it's improved her confidence as a person, which makes me very proud. She hasn't had to come to me for help or anything recently, and while I kind of miss it, I'm glad she's doing well.

So I got a new phone, a nice one. Which was extremely nice when I went to CHICAGO. :] Yep, CHICAGOOOO. I had a drum performance there. The heat and stress almost killed me, but I powered through and made for a helluva show at the Korean Festival. It was pretty fun, even if the hotel we stayed at kinda sucked. The bus rides to and from Chicago were a blast! There's tons of pictures I'm too lazy to upload. :]

I've changed a lot since school ended, since my last blog entry. I'm a different man, definitely, but I still have the same heart. I'm ready to work to return to Central, ready to improve myself as a person. I'm ready for almost anything now. I decided at the end of summer school that I can't look like this bummy fool anymore, either. If I want to be a changed man, I have to make physical changes to show it. So I got a haircut, got some non-bummy clothes, and have been keeping up on my shaving recently. Ohhhh yeah.

Anyway, sorry for making you read that long long shit. Here's to you, readers and friends!
