An Introduction


           Well, to tell you the truth, I have NEVER done something like this before. In fact, I feel these "blogs" are like diaries, for people who possess too many feelings. But we'll see if this changes as the year goes on. My real name is SunGi (pronounced "sun" as in the sun and "gi" as in the letter "G"), but due to a friend's advice, I just go by Frank. I was born in the small south Korean city of Jeonju, but moved to America around the age of 5. I can't remember anything before 5, which is pretty darn pathetic but what are you going to do when the rest of your childhood was consumed by power rangers and soda. I've lived pretty much everywhere around Virginia, from the ghettos of Richmond to the suburbs of NOVA. My family did eventually settle down around the NOVA area and I basically spent my teenage years in the burbs. Surprisingly, I did not grow up with much Korean influence. Outside of my family, I rarely ever hanged out with Korean people. My circle of friends consisted of mostly Vietnamese and Hispanic people and I even eventually reached the point of shunning the Korean people and culture. My parents continually convinced me to attend Korean churches to try to make some Korean friends, but I just felt so awkward around Korean people. I still do feel that way as I continue to attend a Korean catholic group due to my mother's advice. 
            According to Facebook, I enjoy the simplicities in life that any other person would enjoy; chilling with friends is a big one. I have no clue where I would be without my amigos. I know they will always have my back, even though sometimes we act like we utterly despise each other. Movies are another one of my simplicities. I much enjoy the classics and the best film of all time has to be "M;" the first film of its kind. (Anybody who thinks "Epic Movie" is the best movie of all time has got some serious thinking to do.) I also love music, but tend to stray away from the mainstream (no I don't listen to that death, metal, screamo, emo stuff. That stuff is CREEPY). Independent hip hop, rock, alternative, and classics is what seems to tickle my fancy. I really enjoy video games since I owned a ps2 way back during elementary. The first game I ever bought was Dragonball Z Budokai 2, and as embarrassing as it is to say, I proudly stand by it.
            Well, I guess that should be enough for an introduction. Please stay tune for Frank's thoughts on various issues.
