Over the years, I’ve noticed there is an intriguing form of hypocrisy among the members of the second generation Korean-American community.  Many of these folks pride themsleves for being progressive about mental health issues.  They’ll recommend their friends, colleagues, and congregants to seek professional counseling or psychiatric help.  However, when it comes down to it, they’ll never seek out such help themselves.

It seems the shame is still entrenched.  “Those ‘other’ people could use it, but not me.”

Until the self falls within the set of “others,” the shame will never be eradicated.

“…when you don’t post?”

I was rebuked the other day by one of my congregants for not posting.  I have repented of my sin, and I offer this entry.

I’m disappointed the Mets vs. Yanks game got rained out.  I think the Mets would have spanked them, especially with Santana on the mound.  But who knows?  With the way they’ve been playing, especially after losing a series to the Nationals (possibly the worst team in baseball), even if Santana were to pitch a gem, the Mets would probably still have found a way to lose.  Reyes, Beltran, Delgado, Wright…how is it that this team is not 7 games in front of everyone else?  That middle bullpen is quite an achilles heel, but with everyone else, they should still be able to generate a winning percentage far above .500.  Willie needs some killer instinct.  (Though, I am very pleased with Church, Pagan, and Schneider.  Delgado and Beltran should be ashamed.)

Tomorrow I get to go the LPGA tournament in Upper Montclair.  Hopefully, I will get the sermon done in time.

And Peyton is the love of my life.

And there we have it.  Mets spank the yanks twice!  Good times .

WordPress will now be the host of my blog.  Xanga has been great, but WordPress seems to give me some more powerful and professional features.  Time to grow up, I suppose.
