So, it only took a few days since my last post (new record). First things first (I Poppa....), my performance at the school festival was crazy. For the entire day I thought I did not have to perform because the teacher said they didn't have my song. She said they only had the karaoke version and since I did not know the song that well I needed the real version. Cool. So about 30 minutes before the night festival began she tells me everything's a go. I'm like, hold up. You can't do a brother like that. I needed at least a few hours to get ready. Needless to say, I walked up on stage with the lyric sheet in hand. Craziness then commenced. I chose YMCA because it was catchy, easy to sing, and I knew most Koreans knew the melody and the hook. I soon found out they knew "YOUNG MAN" which was sweet. That performance was one of the funnest moments of my life. I had one of my teachers record me with my camera but because of some "technical difficulties" aka a language barrier she instead took several pictures of me (which really aren't pictures just 8 second intervals of me singing). Luckily, another teacher recorded the whole thing and he told me he had the hook up. So once I get that G14 classified material I'll be sure to pass it on. You smell? Overall, the day was nice. The festival was great, a bit long, but still great. And the next day was sports competition day where the classes compete against each other in several contests (running, tug-o-war, dodgeball, jump rope...). By the way, how weird is the song YMCA? Who sings about the YMCA? Have a look at those lyrics and tell me what you think.
Soooooooooooo, its almost about that time to get our minds right and elect Barack Odrama. This week I am doing a presentation on the upcoming election and all the students know the man named Barack. At the beginnging of each class I ask, "Do you know what happens on Tuesday in America?" They all say "New President" and then begin to chant OBAMA!!! No lie. Straight up. Because I'm all about being fair and balanced I showed a 8 minute clip of Barack (with subtitles) and then reminded them that John McCain is running too. Then I get into my lessson on the election. Barack is the people's choice in Korea. No doubt. My man is a true champion and I am realizing more and more how important this shift is going to be, affecting not only our people but our standing in the world. Barack is going to have his hands full, but hey, my man can do it. Do you believe? So America better get its mind right and vote Bareezy Obeezy. And those who don't must know, there's a place you can go, when your brain cells are running low, its called the YMCA. Holla at the Village People for me. So in two days, lets toast to the future. From Korea to America. LETS DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
