I love my Zachary Chun.

SUN, 090308 @ 10:37AM
Hiya Zach. I'm posting this early because I love the photo above. I have your all wrapped around my legs and..oh, look. It's the day after Rachel's dohr. Hmm. Anyways, I just wanted to make sure this photo made it out there. HAND!
SUN, 090308 @ 10:40AM

TUE, 090310 @ 12:04AM
Finally! Hi Zach! Wow, it has been too long. I have waited 10 whole days. Ok. You ready? BRB.
Boo-hoo. Not the change I expected. You are search result 8 & 9 when you Google 'Zachary Chun'. I suppose that's a good thing. Oh yeah, image searches. BRB.
That improved. Under 'ZRC', you are search result 1-8, and under 'ZC', you are 1-3 & 5-8. That's right, I started this experiment to improve image search results. Well, that it has because I didn't get any results when searching 'Zachary Chun'. I guess you could call this a success. Anyways, I still believe that using your name in the title of posts promotes better search results, so I'll keep doing it. How are you today, Zach? As usual, I miss you very much and cannot wait to just hug you and your sister once again. I hope everything is well with you guys over there and simply wish for the best. Let me see...oh yeah. I think I have 1 last uploaded photo set, so let me go grab that link real quick. BRB.
Nope, I was wrong. It was an upload of the .doc file that I posted 9 days ago. Now I remember. I promised I'd go through yesterday's folder. BRB.
Again, sorry. There wasn't anything there worth pointing out. Do you remember Estelle, Zach? She was your nanny when you were just a baby. Job is her cousin or something who paid a Coyote $2,500 to be dropped off in L.A. from T.J. We had to cut a trip to Las Vegas short because he was waiting for us at the McDonald's on Western by the 10. It was funny because they wouldn't let him leave until he was paid. Anyways. There is one decent photo of the three of us as we rode up the Universal escalator and I'll probably use it for a posting in the future. The other thing is...oh yeah. A letter to that animal. BRB.

090310 email to your mother
This is yet another attempt to know the whereabouts of my children. I did not fight you over custody of my children for their sake. It is wrong to rip them out and away from their mother, as it is wrong to rip them out of their father. Whatever your problems are, deal with them. They no longer concern me for I no longer care. I'm in contact with you, and I will be forever, until you give me information about my kids. Do you really think I trust you for their welfare? You're an animal. Tell me where my children are.

- Jason

LOL. I hate her for what she's doing to you guys. I made the terrible mistake of sympathizing with her because I felt sorry for her. You guys didn't have a choice in the matter, but you are paying the price. I'm really sorry, guys. I will spend the rest of my life making it up to you guys. Forget about a happy home and a happy family. Your mother messed that up. You wouldn't believe it from the photos I've been posting. I still don't believe it myself. That's what you get for feeling sorry for an animal. Esther stole your mother and ran off to America when your mother was 3. Her father didn't even look for her because he didn't care for her or his new daughter. I am the extreme opposite. You guys are the center of my life and will remain so for all eternity. I will never stop my quest for us to be together again. Mark my words. Today, is this blog, tomorrow will be something new and worthwhile. Your mother cannot know the source of my motivation because she doesn't know how to love as deeply as I do. I will find you guys. I promise. I won't abandon you guys like your mother's father abandoned her because I am not an animal. Again, these hateful, evil thoughts and feelings. I am so disgusted by it. I so wish never to even breath another thought into that whole clan of animals. It sickens me. Sorry to end on such a down note, Zach. Never give up hope because I will never give up my search. It may be too much to ask of you now, to hate your mother for who she is, but in time, as you read this blog and learn of my thoughts and emotions, the truth will unveil itself. She's an animal. I love you and your sister very much. Have a nice week. TTYT!

Hiya Zach. I'm kinda posting this early because I wanted to give you some HW. Aww, don't be down, it'll be fun. On yesterday's posting, I noticed that the contrast was off a bit in the photo of us. HW! I want you to DL Picasa and use their photo correcting tools and save 5 different variations to make it better. This is important. Don't just make 5 any old variations such as B&W, sephia, etc. Try to make the photo better. Your corrections should be very slight, so I expect the 5 variations to differ slightly. Let me see...hmm...what was the other reason...oh, I forget. Oh yeah. Duh. Tonight, we have to set our clocks one hour ahead to observe Daylight Savings. The simple phrase to remember how to change it is, "spring forward, fall back". Easy, huh? Here's the hard part. When are Daylight Savings times observed? I'm not sure if it's the same time every year. It's your task to figure out when. Ok? HW! I promise I'll chills it with the HW for a while. Maybe not, we'll see. TTYL!

Hi Zach. Ouch, I read the above and that's a load and a half for a seven year old. Sorry. Tell you what, you have forever to complete your assignment. I think that's fair. I'm very careful to label all posts that have HW assignments so that I can sort by it and check to see if you've done your homework. He he he. This week has been all upside down, hasn't it? I wonder how such craziness reads. Oh yeah, a movie review.
The Game Plan - IGIA7. This is one of those movies where a rising star teams up with a no-name youngster to make him/herself more appealing to the general audience. I became a bigger fan of 'The Rock' after seeing this film because he was asked to perform way beyond his normal roles and attach himself to a daughter he never knew he had. Whereas the screenplay was atypically predictable and borderline corny at times, it does deliver in its attempt to make you feel good. It does a good job of playing the family flick that it was intended to be.
Consider IGIA7's worthy enough to spend your time watching. 8's should never be missed because it's something special. 9's are rare, so watch them for sure as soon as you can. And one movie, my favorite movie of all time, gets a IGIA10. What is it, you ask? I'll tell you when the time it right. Anyways. Lemmie go get a photo link first. It really does take 4 minutes for Mega Manager to run, so gonna go sweep. BRB.

This is a large file compared with the others. I'm sure there are many memorable photos from this set, but I'll wait 'til tomorrow to go through it and make notes. What I want to do now, is to create a list of 'Gifts' I've been acquiring for you guys. First, lemmie tell you about the Guitar Hero Beanies. You remember what pop tarts are, don't you? They're those cracker thingy's with jelly-like centers that you pop into a toaster. Anyhows, I've been getting them from Costco and noticed a certain 'deal' in every box. When you send in 5 proof's of purchases, they'll send you a cool beanie hat with 'Guitar Hero' embroidered on them. Thing is, a box from Costco only has 4 proof's of purchases. Darn. With my second purchase, I managed to mail in 5 for a free hat. I finally got it about 2 weeks ago and I gave it to your cousin, Thomas. Oh, did he love it. He played Guitar Hero on his DS for me once, so I knew he liked it. The hat was so cool, he wears it every day to school. I went to Costco twice since, and found out they don't sell pop tarts no more. Darn. Well, today, they all came over and the first thing Alec said was "did my hat come yet?". Double darn. I had 3 proof's left, and because they don't sell them anymore, I went ahead and wrote a check for $3.99. Then I said to myself. "You know, since Thomas likes it so much, I should get one for Zach." Then I thought, "I can't get one for Thomas, Alec, and Zach and not one for Rachel even though she's a girl". So, to finally cut the long story short, I mailed all 3 remaining proof's and sent away for 3 of them! My point is, There is a cool Guitar Hero Beenie Hat waiting for you. I hope you're not too old to wear it by the time we meet again. If you are, just remember it was a cool thing for youngsters. Ask Thomas and he'll tell you how cool it is. That's gift number one. Number two, are just some journals I bought for you and your sister last week. Yours is a Rhino Professional and Rachel got a faux leather journal. Resort these postings using the label 'Gifts' and ask for them when I see you. My greatest gift to you, and you only (sorry Rachel), is very special to me so I'll dedicate an entire post just to babble about that later. Oh yeah, I need to write your mother. BRB.

090308 email to your mother
I don't understand why you want me out of the lives of my children. They know who their father is and I am more than willing to have them in my lives. I haven't spoken with you about any of the wrongdoings you deny because I don't care about any of that. All I care about are my children and what you are doing to me, and us, is unforgivable. Why are you doing this to them? I will never stop in my attempts to be in their lives because I know they want me just as much as I want them. Pray to your God and ask for the right answer.

- Jason

LOL. I laugh every time I end a letter to your mother because this situation is ridiculous. My only satisfaction is that the longer she keeps us apart, the more you guys will hate her in the end. You won't be children forever and as adults, you'll realize what a horrific ordeal I am going through and also all that you've lost because of this ridiculous act. You'll eventually nod in understanding and agreement whenever I call her a damn animal. Her family too. They're all animals. I so don't want to continue whenever I speak of her. She's just like a pile of dog doo-doo. Dirty, smelly, and disgusting all over. Anyways, I'll try to keep these posts as lively as I can, but I can't promise you anything because of the severity of her damn actions. I love you Zach. TTYL.

Hey there son. Look, we match! This shot was taken at a Redondo Beach sidewalk festival that we attended after church. We saw the rides and said, "We have to take Zach on those rides!" You were 2 and a half, so you probably don't remember the event. That's what all of these photos are for. Well, this folder set doesn't match the added image, but you get my drift. It's funny how tides have turned. Now, for every posting, I have to link an image folder and write your mother another email. BRB

090307 email to your mother
This is yet another attempt to somehow get information from you regarding the situation with my kids. I agreed to the divorce under certain conditions. One was financial. I was to get $50,000 from our funds along with half of the half when the Windsor home sold. Obviously, that didn't happen because you and your mother are thieving crooks. Everything I had, you stole from me, including my kids. I have stacks of paperwork proving this so don't even argue otherwise. All I want now is contact with my God Damn children.

LOL. I laugh every time I write her because I am hoping you will read it too. HA! And the subject line? Classic. Love it, love it. Next is a link to a photo folder.

Hey, hey. This is the set where that famous photo is from. Oh, no?!? Have I not posted this one yet?!? Oh, excuse me, but I must check this very instant. BRB.
Whew, it's in your slide show. It's the one where I'm holding you guys down as you sipped on your Jamba juices. There's another photo that is somewhat interesting, so I uploaded it to add later. I have so many good photos of us that it's exciting for me even whenever I come across something interesting. Anyways, two days to go. TTYL!

Zachary Chun's FIRST Lego spaceship.

SAT, 090307 @ 12:31AM
Hiya Zach. The more I re-read this blog, the more I'm excited at attaining my goal. It was never my intention to share with you my attempts with your mother about your whereabouts. I had always thought that regardless of what happened between us, I will continue to be your father and raise you as such. She, being the animal that she is, feels otherwise and has done her absolute best for us to be apart. With that in mind, I will publicize and promote the fact that my attempts to get in touch with her are being totally ignored. She will ultimately pay the dear price of having the both of you loathe her for the pain and suffering she's causing all of us. With that in mind, allow me to open a new channel of communique by telling it like it is. BRB.

090307 email to your mother
You, your mother, and John, met with me at that Burger King that morning before the visitation to tell me your plans on moving my children to Korea. You guys had run the company to the ground and were on the run from the law. Esther clearly told me that you guys would reside in Korea for no longer than two years. You had the decency to tell me your intentions and specifically told me that I would be receiving information about my children. I was adamant that I did not want my children to live in Korea. As usual, my input was totally ignored. Now, nearly five months have passed since you stole my children away. I want to know about them now.

- Jason

LOL. I feel so good after venting to her because you get to see the truth. Look at the title of the email. The date followed by 'email to your mother'. Ha ha ha. She won't be able to figure out the existence of this blog that tells it like it is. I will title every last email this way and tell my side of the story as truthfully as I can. I hate that animal for what she is doing to us. What a nice turn of events. Anyways. I added a label titled 'email' on the last posting and I was going to add it as well to this post, when it occurred to me that all subsequent postings will have an email. That would be rather silly, I suppose, so I won't be using that label. Anyhows, here is the next photo set.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0L82EN1W
Wow, we went to Universal a lot. Lemmie go look through the photos to see if there is any worth mentioning. BRB.
Nope. There were a bunch of stupid photo of Rachel and your mother at the Tony Roma's on Citiwalk. I can't even remember if we went to Universal. Anyways, just consider this a photo folder for you to enjoy. Wow, it just occurred to me that digital photos can be carried down from one generation to the next, easily. That wasn't the case with regular photos because siblings would fight over their parents photos. Technologies great, ain't it? OH WAIT! It just occurred to me that I changed the PW for these sets. Ouch, I think I changed them a few postings ago. PW RESET ALERT! This is the third now, so you'll have to ask me for the new one. Anyways, I guess I had no special reason for this posting. I'm just eager to find out the results of our little experiment. Three more postings to go. TTYL!

FRI, 090306 @ 9:59PM
Hi Zach. The photo above is from the reception to that wedding we went to up in Modesto. It's funny how you spoke so much with your eyes at the time. What are you saying above? "Umm, this is good coke." Hmm, I'm kinda biased because I love every picture I take of you. Oh wells. Oh yeah, and I'm going to use 'Zachary Chun' in my post titles to increase my SEO results. I'm very, very certain it's going to work. We'll have to wait until Tuesday to find out. I satisfied my need to Google by Googling 'Chun Song'. That dumb fool thinks he knows a thing or two about the WWW, so I thought I'd give it a try. And guess what? He doesn't. Nothing worth mentioning. Anyways, here is another set. This one is titled:
050409 Universal Studios.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GXFRMRTI
Oh wow, did we trip out just a month afterwards? That's so touristy. Lemmie go through the set to see if there's anything worth mentioning. BRB.
Oh, it's just the set where we took a photo with Babe. There's a funny one of Rachel and I uploaded it to my Picasa drop box in preparation for her blog. I should be pro by then if I'm not pro by now. I think I am. I'm getting my messages across to you and sharing with you the photos I've always wanted to share. I'm also creating something of epic importance. Hmm. I said I would include a copy of the emails I send to your mother for every posting. I'm doing two today, so I'll be sending 2 emails. Oh wells. BRB

Where are my kids?
I am seriously concerned about the welfare of my children. There is no reason to keep them apart from me and you are doing more harm than you can imagine by keeping me away from them. Plz give me information as to their whereabouts.

- Jason

LOL. I hate that bitch and I hope these letters will prove to you how civil I am being about this whole mess. The fact that she doesn't even reply only tells me further how much of an animal she really is. I hope Esther knows how much impact this blog will have on you guys and in your relations with your dog of a mother before she dies. Esther has to know this blog before she kicks the bucket. Anyways kids, have a nice weekend and I'll speak with you again soon. Bye!

Hiya Zach. This sure has been a weird week in terms of posting, eh? You'll just have to bare with me and go with the flow for the sake of this experiment. I had the thought that I will be proven right, come Tuesday, so I'm going to have to use your name without the middle name, Zachary Chun, in the titles. We'll have to wait and see. Wow, it's been 5 days now and I haven't Googled anything. Oh, the agony. Make it stop! I hope your week went well. Uh, you know what?!? It's been a while since I posted a photo set link, so lemmie go do that now. BRB.

Let me see...I'm going to incorporate this blog with my email attempts to your mother. BRB.

Info. Needed
I worry tremendously about the welfare of my children. I need to know where they are, how they're doing and make myself available to them at all times for whatever reason. Please respond.

Ha! My main goal with this blog is to let you both know the truth behind the lies. Once you realize the truth, you won't be able to resist hating your mother for keeping us apart. I hope you see my constant persistence and daily worrying. All I want is to know how you guys are doing. No matter what, she can't keep us apart. I am not her real dad who can just throw away a child like a friggin animal. I am not the animal that you are, you bitch. You filthy dog. Ruff. I know I promised you many times before that I would keep this blog civil and refrain from being angry or hateful. I'm sorry, but I can't help it. Why are we being kept apart? Understand the truth and you will side with me because it makes sense. Ha ha ha. Daily emails on my daily blog. I know your mother will tell you she never checks her email, so expect that lie. Anyways guys, have a nice weekend. I love you both very much.

Problem is, I kept digging and digging, so I kinda forgot which one it was. I'll find it. Lemmie pre-post with the last photo. BRB. No, scratch that. I'll correct you when your post time occurs. Bye.

Hiya son. Hi Rachel! I like this picture of you guys. Top 5. Oh yeah. Took me awhile, but I remembered. Because of this blog, I feel our connection growing. I'm speaking with you at a much higher level than I would be to you at this age, and it's giving me the opportunity to pass something on to the both of you guys. No matter what happens or is happening, whenever, this blog is a way for me to connect with you guys to show how important the two of you are to me. What kid, becomes an adult, and gets the opportunity to read a whole book, written by his or her pops, for them to benefit from? Imagine to beauty of the gift. Do you remember, Zach? This is still, your gift from me, to you, for your seventh birthday. Is it cool, or what? I think it's special and am always trying my hardest to improve on it. I can control the everlasting, yearning to be better for your sole benefit. That's cool. Let me see...oh yeah. Here's the exact letter I just tried emailing to katjchun@yahoo.com: "I had this simple thought and was hopeful I could share it with you. Question one. Do you want me entirely out of the lives of my children? Question two. Do you think I would allow that, ever? Question three. Where are my children?" That was it. I should share with you my attempts to get in touch with you guys. Yeah. Why not? You should know the truth. I should even share with you my side of the story. Do you want to know why your mother filed for a divorce? Yeah, I should tell you guys. But not today. Hate talking about that bitch. Damn, you know what? I'm going to post all of my sent email. BRB.

090304:

Hello
I had this simple thought and was hopeful I could share it with you. Question one. Do you want me entirely out of the lives of my children? Question two. Do you think I would allow that, ever? Question three. Where are my children?

081120:
Where are my kids?
I've asked you several times for contact information and I have yet to hear from you. You clearly stated that before leaving, I will have their information. This is a formal inquiry to their whereabouts. I expect a prompt response.

- Jason

081027:
Information needed
This is my second attempt to get contact information from you regarding my children. You have until the end of this week to respond, or else I will have to raise hell with whomever you and your family ran away from.

081023:

Contact info.
I have not received any information from you regarding my children. Addresses, phone numbers, etc.

- Jason

Wow, I'm surprised myself at my own civility. So long as the two of you know the truth, I'll be fine. I've never vented out email like that, but in this case, it felt good. So long as you guys know the truth. I'll always prove to you my attempts. Being Vulcan means knowing only logic. I strive to be more Vulcan daily. You must always side with logic because it's only logical. Anyways son. I'll TTYL!

What are you hiding, Zachary Ryan Chun?

MON, 090302 @ 11:09PM
Hi, Zach. You were 2 and a half years old when we drove to Modesto to a friend's wedding. Rachel is exactly 7 weeks and 3 days old. I had to make this post to make sure this photo makes it. Ok. I did it. Whew. I'll probably speak with you in length tomorrow about noting. Have a good one.
MON, 090302 @ 11:14PM

TUE, 090303 @ 11:02PM
Hey Zach. Every time I logged onto Blogger, I saw this photo of you and it made me smile. I love this photo of you. Your expression is a timeless classic and the way you were back then brings back very good memories. I get down every time I think about good times...Sorry.
TUE, 090303 @ 11:53PM

WED, 090304@ 3:58PM
Hi son. I still smile looking at this picture of you. Top 3, by far. I didn't even know I had it until I started this blog. What a great picture. Today's post is a curious post, isn't it? Three different days and three different times. What's going on? In case I hadn't explained myself earlier, I'm running somewhat of an experiment. On the 1st of March, I decided to add your full name to the post title's because I feel as though they look at them differently when Google search engine scrutinizes a page. I wanted to 'set up' this experiment, so I posted all 5 that day. By chance, I managed to add images of you and Rachel together. Ooooh. Maybe I should change the titles for this experiment and add Rachel's full name as well...You know, because these are probably my best photos of the two of you guys, I think I will. Except for this one of course. BRB.
Ok, back. I won't be checking Google's results until five days afterwards, so I don't think I messed anything up. The 10th is next Tuesday, so I'll post the results of our little experiment then. I'm so excited. Oh, and it's been very difficult not to Google you guys. It has become so habit forming that I have had to put in a lot of effort to hold myself back. God, I love this picture. I scrolled up just to look at it again cuz I like it so much. You look very much like me when I was a kid, Zach. I was the center of your life, as you were mine, and everything I did, revolved around you. We did go into a pool together for the FIRST time during this trip. You weren't really into it all that much. I think you developed enough of a fear of water at this age. I'll use that photo in a future posting after our little SEO experiment. I'm very eager and hopeful at the result. Oh, yeah. That reminds me. The spell check on Blogger is weak in that it is web based. I try to remember to do one at the end of every post, but I forget sometimes, you know? Point is, The .doc file that I hyperlink to at every 10 posts is correct in terms of spelling and grammer. Oh yeah, Word's spellcheck also does a grammatical check as well. It took a good two hours for me to go through the entire file. Many, many pages. I noticed how I'm writing like I speak. This is a very difficult, thin line to be jumping back and forth, to and from. A blog post is lax enough for me to be writing as I speak, but it is sometimes so informal that I must retreat from this almost too casual style. Just understand my dilemma and remember that whatever errors you see on this blog, don't hold me accountable for, because corrections are being made and kept on the .doc file only. Whew. That was a mouthful. Have I mentioned how much I love the photo above? Anyways, son. I think I babbled enough for today. This is like yesterday's post that I'm editing today, which is really your tomorrow. HAND!
WED, 090304 @ 4:20PM

This is the second of five tests, Zachary Ryan Chun and Rachel Lauren Chun.

MON, 090302 @ 9:19PM
Hello, son. Since I'm not seeing the benefit of spelling out your full name within the body text, I can relax and simply call you son. Or Zach. Hey, Zach. Whew, what a difference, eh? I'm going to start writing out your full name in the title of my posting and see if the effects will have any beneficialities (huh?) to your search results. Yesterday's post was the big 6-0, so the link to the .doc file is:
ZacharyRyanChun.blogspot.com 090302.doc
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=E3UM0C5Q
Whatever spelling or grammatical errors I make, I will correct them in this file. The spell check feature from blogger is web based, so it lacks the grammatical checking feature in Word. It took me practically all day to finally finish the spellcheck. 134 pages, whew. Accept and overlook whatever errors I make on this blog because I'm making the corrections on the file link above. I often caught myself being asked to correct spoken English. I suppose I write as I speak because I cannot refrain from using terms such as hmmm or whatever other spelled-out noise. Shoot, you ain't my critic. What am I worried about? I made my first video blog for this blog yesterday. I haven't DL it yet, so I don't know about the quality or usability. That reminds me, I've charged the camera batteries, so I'm going to DL from yesterday's babbling. There is an orchid that your Granmother is caring for on the patio. The purple flowers have been in bloom for nearly three months, and just yesterday, another group started blooming. Funny thing is, this second cluster is orange. I'm not sure as to why and how orchids are grown in controlled environments. Your Grandmother's orchid has somehow survied in this natural, outdoor environment. The point is, I promise to snap photos of it for us to share. I'm curious about yesterday's endeavors. I'm gonna go work on the video clip, so BBL (Mine own, BeBackLater.)
Light Bulb! (This means I just thought of an idea.) From as early as you can remember, begin using common abbreviations that suit your needs. For example, the abbreviation 'M' can mean many things for many people. I use it to abbreviate 'Mailed', so a date usually follows, written of course in the structure I described earlier. 'M' cannot, and will not mean anything else to me. Do you get it? Choose early, the meaning behind one letter abbreviations, and practice using this obvious, personal format. 'D' means delete. 'DB' means database. Of course you know 'HW'. I guess it's one letter abbreviation, or more. WC, PT, FT, W/E, etc. Hmm, HW! I'll try to brainstorm through my personal list as well as I can. Using Excel, try to decifer my system of abbreviating and try to figure them out. I'm going to go sweep and think about my personal list of abbreviations that you will eventually list onto Excel and attempt to decifer. There's like 5 above and I'll try to add as much of mine as I can. BRB.
Man, oh, man. I thought about all the abbreviations and there's a lot. Here's the second set:
LOL, ROFL, LMAO, BRB, TTYL, HAND, BTW, HYH (Lol, I just made this one up), HTML, BRAVIA, IE, FF, DVD, CD, DVR, DVD-R, DVD-RW, HDD, PC, PC (hmm, there are two of these...), IMDB, DB, SWAK, ICBM, USA, all the states, USSR, ROK, all the Olympic country codes. (this one is tough, but there is some source out there in cyber space. Find it, son.) TANGENT: Today is day one I am using Zachary Ryan Chun as part of the post title. I will refrain from Googling you, another five days afterwards. Wow, that's 10 days total. Ouch, this one's going to need a lot of attention. I can do it.
I think set two is good to go. As I recall more, I will give you my next set as a whole sometime in the future. Knowing and using abbreviations early in life will benefit you in many ways. I think BRAVIA is my proudest thus far.
TANGENT: I keep thinking away from whatever topic I'm on. My favorite logo of all time is from SCE. Southern California Edison. Find it and revel in its simplistic beauty. I have a logo to KO KO Transmissions. It tells a short tale of where we've been and where we're going. My second favorite logo. See, if only I had it digitally, I'd be able to permantize it. Anyways.
OK. I received an offer from Go Daddy. '.com for $7.49.'. Really good deal. I was able to get:
ZacharyRyanChun.com
RachelLaurenChun.com
TopChun.com
ZandREnt.com
Ta-Da! It totaled like $30. Not bad. CashtoConsumers.com was being offered for $1,580. What was all that about. HW! I need to inquire about the hosting costs for Cash2Consumers.com next. Hmm. How much to simply copy-paste this blog to his URL? Search result change? WIP on this one, baby. You know what? I'm not going to save up and remember a bunch of abbreviations. OK above, raised an eyebrow. WIP, raised it again. From this very moment on, you will create and update a DB of all capitalized words which are in fact, abbreviations. Whatever I write in caps, you add to that file...name it ChunFamAbbreviations(date).xls. Look what I found to add:
123, abw, ast, aws, awt, aww, cas, csv, ctx, ctx, cwk, cws, dif, doc, docm, docmhtml, docx, dotm, dotx, dqy, dsv, ess, fm1, imr, iqy, lwp, mer, odc, ods, oqy, potm, potx, ppam, ppax, ppsm, ppsx, ppt, pptm, pptx, psw, pxl, rels, rft, rqy, sam, sdw, sldm, sldx, srd, stc, sxc, sxw, thmx, tsv, uxdc, vdx, vsd, wk1, wks, wp, wpw, wq!, wq1, wsd, wt4, xla, xlam, xlb, xlc, xld, xlk, xll, xlm, xlr, xlsb, xlsm, xlsx, xlt, xltm, xltx, xlv, xlw, zabw
I guess you shouldn't like that, huh? Sorry, but this is HW. Kinda like hard core math. There's serious depth to whatever nd you'll never use it again in life, but you did it. You don't have to memorize the above, but to see it spelled out will make you a better and smarter person for having done it. Copy-pasting the list above to Excel is curiously exciting. Hmm. I'd like to see your style and compare to my steps. HW for me! Anyways. I thought about the adding of an image to a post that bares your name. Yup, I have to do one. BRB.
Did I really not use this picture before? Amazing. Well, here it is. My favorite photo of you guys at Disneyland. Top three, ever. Love, love. Muah. I love you guys. I just realized this post is the second day of ZRCing the title. I'll have to edit in another photo for yesterday's post. BRB.
Whew, back. I think I'm good. Day 2 and 2 good photos. I'll need 3 more. Must go hunt. So with that, I say goodnight, son.

SUN, 090301 @ 5:58AM
Good morning, Zachary Ryan Chun. I was eager to post today because I've embarked on something rather daring and possibly overwhelming. It has been quite some time since I've developed my ideas into a worthy venture. The hurdle which I haven't been able to scale over has been the lack of resources to actually write the web page. Sure, I've dabbled in the past. My first homepage was written back in 1996 to feed my need for nerdom royalty. I've always used the aide of other software to formulate whatever page or site I developed, but in order to fulfill my needs for this brave new world, I must roll up my sleeves and get back to the basics. I will teach myself the intricacies of HTML and write the site myself. Everything else will eventually find its place once the foundation has been poured. I know enough to know that this will not be an easy venture. I am very, very skeptical of the end result. I just had this thought. I need enough to be able to sell my ideas, not to perfect it. Once the mixture is ready and pouring begins, others will notice the beauty of the potential creation and be eager to lend a hand. No site is perfect. They are all works in progress and that is what this will be. I can't wait to announce to you that the site is up and running. You are my biggest fan and my only driving force. For you guys, I do this. Well, mainly at least. I suppose everyone needs to eat and sleep, including myself. I began organizing and printing hundreds of pages of tutorial text last night and this post is my avenue of solice. Having announced my next step, I'm eager to return to my challenges so that I can someday prove myself worthy to you guys. Whew. TTYL!
P.S. This is post number 60. If you recall, with every 10 postings, I'm adding to my master .doc file which awaits this post. I'm at a 135 pages, if you can believe that. I have never even come close to writing anything of this size and meaning. I grow more and more proud with every posting and wish our meeting greatly. I love you Zach.

MON, 090302 @ 1:38AM
Hey Zachary Ryan Chun. Some exciting news. A few days ago, I mentioned to you that your Google rankings were deteriorating. It bothered me a great deal, so I've been checking your name as well as Rachel's, along with my two names, one with a middle initial, and the other without. I was falsely excited to notice an icon which allowed me to bump up relevant search results. It's called SearchWiki or something. It changes search results, as long as you're logged in with Google. It only changes with logged in users. Poo. Anyways, in my quiet desperation, I decided to once again do Google image searches and viola! Your photos are the top eight results! I was shocked. Next, I do Rachel, and she's only 1-2 and like 15 or so. However, they were photos of you, not her. Hmm. The added image from the post titled "Zachary Ryan Chun's FIRST kalbi" came up for some reason. Hmm. And then the clicks got louder and louder. Early this morning, I read that there are upto 6 headings for webpage content. Why 6, I asked myself over and over. This is my guess. Google uses the words in a post's title for search results much more so than paragraph text. Upto now, I've been writing Zachary Ryan Chun as often as I could to improve your search results. I don't think body content is scrutinized as much as titles. So, I'll have to start writing your name into every post title. I am very, very confident that this practice will greatly improve this blog's SEO's. 99.9% sure. In thinking about a regular Google search versus an image search, I think they have an equal chance of being used by someone of your age. Am I right? If you're older and curious enough about yourself, I think you'd do a Google Image search as well. Anyways, this is a very exciting point that should deliver some serious results. This post use to be called "HTML", but I added the comma as well as your full name. It's kinda late and I'm dozing a bit, but I'll have to add an image to this post to further expose myself in cyber space. Okay. That's enough. I've caught myself falling asleep over 5 times, so I'm going to have to cut it short and edit in a photo manana. Anyway, I bid you farewell, son.

Hey, hurry up Ketchup!

SAT, 090228 @ 11:53AM
Hiya Zachary Ryan Chun. Two tomatoes are rolling down a hill. One is fresh and firm, so it rolls quickly. The other is old and mushy, so it rolls slow. The fresh tomato turns to the other and says "Hey, hurry up Ketchup!". Not too funny, but I'm playing ketchup and I'm on schedule once again. How do you like the picture above? That's where everyone takes a photo when visiting Disneyland. They were celebrating their 50th birthday when we visited way back then, which is why you see the big 5-0 next to Mickey. I love you Zach. I love meaningful photos like this that signals a special moment. Anyways. I was so eager to add the image that I decided to post anything to get it up. Oooh, I'm thinking maybe I should have used this photo for my 50th posting?!? That would have been something else. Anyways. I'll post the name and link of the folder I zipped and encrypted later. I've been kinda lagging in terms of 'meaningful posts', so I'll come back later and maybe squeeze in a story. Anyways, son. TTYL!

Hello Zachary Ryan Chun. I figured out what I was going to babble to you about today. Before we get started, lemmie go ahead and post a link to a photo folder. BRB.
051009 Disneyland, Buzz #2
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JCNBAJVB
Again, this was just another trip to Disneyland that I won't play by play because I get flustered and angry. It's for your viewing pleasure and it should further prove your mother wrong. Any photo I deem worthy I've been uploading to Picasa and adding to my postings. So, without further ado, drum roll, please...
I don't think I've mentioned to you about my recent memberships to Blockbuster Total Access and Netflix. You pay a monthly fee, and they send you, via postal mail, 3 DVD's at a time. It's given me the opportunity to watch some oldies, but goodies. Of all the different genres out there, my favorite is romantic comedy. Don't share that with anyone. I'm kinda embarrassed to admit it, but it's true. I get emotionally charged up the most whenever a good storyline leads to a happy ending between two people and they live happily ever after. Oh yeah, lemmie do this.
Serendipity - IGIA9. I loved this movie because throughout the entire film, the potentially unknown mystery about a hopeless romance is questioned. Two people who desire a special romance is letting fate and destiny determine their futures. Hints are constantly given as to why they should be together as well as why they aren't together and it is played like a philharmonic orchestra. I think my rating it's a bit biased because I love Kate Beckinsale. Anyways.
As I've been watching classics, I noticed a commonality that is very rare. Many of the movies were based on the novels by Jane Austin. She's some British novelist from way back. Her name is about all I know of her, besides her works. The movies in question are Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park, Persuasion, Emma,, and one other one that I can't quite recall ATM. The commonality is that these stories take place close to 200 years ago in Britain and they all somehow depict the lives of the privileged elite. Back then, marriages weren't performed out of love as it should be. Rather, it was a ceremony that allowed people to increase their rank in society. It wasn't as clearly defined and structured as are marriages for Asians. We know this to be arranged marriages. Parents play the role of matchmaker according to one's characteristics without any account for compatibility. Where one was educated, the careers of parents, and total worth was the calculated factors that determined a person's value of marriage. The Brits didn't have the audacity to straight out call them arranged marriages, but it was certainly practiced because one could not marry out of love. This is a very common, reoccurring theme in Jane Austin's work. In the most well known novel, Sense and Sensibility, believe it or not, I've watched four different versions! Two of which were mini-series, lasting close to seven hours. I've told Irene about this blog and I think she reads it. I mention this because her mother, Teresa and I, were trying to figure out where we knew the name Wiloughby from. We're still baffled, but in case you're reading this Irene, tell moms it's from Sense and Sensibility. Because there are four versions, I won't be able to do a IGIA on it. I just got through watching Mansfield Park, so...
Mansfield Park - IGIA9. This is a fantastic love story between two people who can't possibly be together forever. Society won't allow for their joining, so they venture off into two different relationships that seems to make sense. The tragedies of these undesired relationships further strengthen their love for one another. It has that flare of upper British society mixed in with the grief and despair of even the noblest of families. I fell in love with Franny because she was so genuinely real, regardless of what should and shouldn't be. The possible romance that can never be becomes a powerful theme that lingers on til the very end. This is a period piece that cannot be missed because it tells the truth behind how things were.
Emma - IGIA7. This is another one of Jane Austin's classic novels that eventually made it to film. Whereas Gwenith Paltrow's performance was spectacular, the comical and whimsical theme of love and marriage is downplayed too much for it to be cared for. Playing matchmaker and witnessing the flippant attitudes of its supporting cast just makes this film hard to truly engulf yourself in. Too many stories thin out meaning and eventually loses value.
I guess the purpose behind this post was to discuss these somewhat adult, period films. You'll have to be in your 20's to truly understand and appreciate these films, but it is somewhat important to me, so I thought I should share. It's somewhat difficult to understand in its entirety because of the use of Old English, but you'll appreciate how much language was emphasized and practiced. It's rare to find beauty in a spoken word these days, so merely listening to dialogue in these films is pleasant. Hmm. Maybe I should have saved this post for Rachel. Anyways son, parting is such a difficult task when in fact there are hours to be overcome so that we may visit once again. Huh?!? CYA!

Disneyland is the Happiest Place on Earth.

SAT, 090228 @ 4:20AM
Good Morning, Zachary Ryan Chun. Wow, I have six more links I could be using for photo sets. I haven't been labeling them too well lately, so before I forget, lemmie label this one. This one is called,
050901 Disneyland, third trip, day one.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UFQTEGDW
Back in the fall of 2005, we decided to go on an amusement park adventure with you guys for our family vacation. We spent two days in Disneyland, a day at the San Diego Wild Animal Park, and a day at Legoland. As you can tell from these photos, we are all as happy as can be. Then how and why could your mother file for divorce just two month's afterwards? And how could she marry Richart less than a year later? HOW? I know, she's an animal. I purposely used a 't' to somehow shorten Richard because he's so short. BTW, are you taller than him now, Zach? How about you, Rachel Lauren Chun. Hehehe. I can laugh about his height, or the lack of, for years. He's so damn short. What do you call those people on Lord of the Ring? You know, Frodo? Yes! He's a Hobbit. LOL. Do you guys have special carpenters come over to cut down your chair legs so he can use 'em? I don't hate Richart at all. I'm actually grateful that he took your bitch of a mother off my hands. Maybe he doesn't hear as much down there. We are speaking at a level he just can't associate with. Hmm. Maybe that's it. I love you Richart, like I love Frodo. Everybody loves Frodo the Hobbit. Anyways. Again, I neither have the patience or the heart to do a play by play of these photos. Just keep in mind that we had this fantastic time together for four straight days, but your mother files for divorce right after. Hmm. It's funny how the world turns. I am asking you to clear your mind of all the lies and deceit that your mother has fed you over and over. Look through these photos slowly, one at a time, and decide for yourself. The truth will set me free. That's it for today. Hopefully, I'll be able to properly catch up this weekend. Bye for now.
SAT, 090228 @ 4:42AM

That'll be all pig.

FRI, 090227 @ 5:56AM
Good morning, Zachary Ryan Chun. We're almost there to Friday (well technically, it is Friday since I'm posting this a wee bit late.) The photo above is from a display at Universal Studio's Tour celebrating the great movie, Babe. Look how you have your hands on him making him look like he has bangs. Ahh, that reminds me...
Babe - IGIA 9. This is a terrific movie that shows the wonders of the human spirit on many levels. The innocence of a baby pig questions how and why things are the way they are and makes us wonder about life and its quirky twists and turns. The humor and impossibility of a talking pig is dismissed as we dive into his life and all that surrounds him on a simple farm. It builds up to a sheep herding competition and of course, it has a fairy tale ending. A must see.
Hmm, that was a rather unexpected turn of events. I wasn't expecting to do a movie review. I see the photo and...WHAM! Anyways. I'm still on my Amusement Parks folder, so here's the link:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A07G79ZY
These family outings make it very difficult for me to do any sort of play by play. I guess I'm posting them for your viewing pleasure. Bah, humbug. I'm in a crappy mood. Til next time.
FRI, 090227 @ 5:13PM

Can I get a RAWR?!?

WED, 090225 @ 3:08AM
Hello Zachary Ryan Chun. Isn't this a cute picture of you? Oh no! The lion ate Zach! Look at how you're posing too. Too funny. Trust me, we had a very good time that day. I think I had more fun than you, watching you. Anyways. The photo set being uploaded right now is that of Our very first Disneyland as a family. This is when that cute picture of you and your sister were taken. It's hard to believe that just two months afterwards, your mother filed for divorce. What do you expect from animals? I hope these photos at least make you wonder why because I still don't know why. Your mother hasn't given me the decency of a conversation. She can't tell you why because she's a whoring dog. Yeah, that's right. You're a dog. A bitch. Damn dog. Anyways, ignore all that because she no longer means anything to me. My anger stems from the fact that you guys are being punished for her friggin behavior. Why are we being kept apart? Ask that bitch and learn to hate her for what she's doing to you both. (Oh, and if you're reading this short man, F you. I'll talk down however I feel. FUMF.) Anyways. Enough anger for today. Sorry Zach. I go through these photos and keep wondering why. Learn to hate her for what she's done to us because that will be my sweetest revenge. You have them now, bitch, but they'll realize the truth and love their father. You'll die an old maid just like your moms, bitch. Oh sorry. Is she dead already? F you Esther. DIE! OK, OK. No mas. Evade crap. Evade...
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=F4J0BRSO
It's finally ready. I hope you enjoy this set. It was somewhat memorable. Anyways, I vented a bit too much today. I'm all pissed thinking about that damn animal and don't feel much like continuing. I know you understand me Zach. Have a nice rest of the week. TTYT!
WED, 090225 @ 4:20AM

Who says having too much fun ain't OK?!?

TUE, 090224 @ 5:24AM
Good Morning, Zachary Ryan Chun. It's me again, Jason Chun. How are you this fine morning? Wait, is that you on Thomas the Tank Engine?!? Why, yes it is! Look how happy you are. Just because you're riding Thomas! Yae! Wa-hoo! Ride 'em cowboy. Yee-haw! LOL. Again, I'm just going through the folders alphabetically, so chronology's gonna be way messed up. I'm not too concerned about that. I'm just happy every time I pull up a good photo of you or us or Rachel Lauren Chun. Do you remember that day at Legoland? Probably not. That's what these photos are for. To remind you of all the too much fun we use to have. Can you believe this was just two months before the divorce? What a friggin animal. I'm sorry Zach, but your mother is an animal. Like a dog. Oh wells. That's the way the cookie crumbles, I suppose. I just hate the fact that she's dragging you guys down with her. Sorry, but I can't help it. I made the mistake many years ago for sympathizing with an animal. Felt sorry for her, you know. Ask me about this in private and I'd be glad to prove to you how much of an animal she really is. As much as I love telling you the truth, I kinda don't like it at the same time because it leaves such a bad taste in my mouth. Remember why you avoid crap, son. I should too. Blah. Anyways.
Upload's gonna take awhile, BRB.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=N834H1NE
Hello. It was taking so long, I just decided to come back to it way, way laters. This is how we spent the day there. I tried taking you to all of the venues that I thought you'd like. Every time we saw a dinosaur, I clicked a shot. I'm getting that sick to my stomach again, Zach. You know, the one where I think about what a friggin animal your mother and her whole God damned family is. Sorry. GTG.
TUE, 090224 @ 7:30AM

Let the Adventures Begin!

MON, 090223 @ 8:58PM
WHEEEEE!!!! Hello, Zachary Ryan Chun. It's your dad, Jason Chun. How are you? Wheeee! I don't know where you learned to raise your hands during a roller coaster ride, but you learned it and it's something you did often. The picture above is from a school field trip to Adventure City. Antioch asked parents to attend so that we could help keep an eye on you guys. I chose the photo above because it described the day quite accurately. It was an adventure. I'm waiting for the folder to upload, so I'll copy-paste once it's ready. I kinda figured out how I'm going to continue on with these photo folders. I'm simply going to go through all of my photos alphabetically and zip and upload as they appear. Thus, you are now seeing "Adventure City" of folder "Amusement Parks". I'm not going to post any folders with your mother because if you want to see animals, you can go to a zoo. Oh, no! I've got some kinda bad news. If you're reading these words, this news isn't bad at all, but for now, it's bad. Google search results don't remain for some reason. At your best, you were results 1-7, but today, you are only 1-3. Oh no! Darn these SEOs. I also Google Rachel Lauren Chun, Jason Chun, and Jason T. Chun. Nothing relevant worth mentioning. Do you remember what today is? The drawing for My Coke Rewards! They don't announce the winners online, so I'll just have to wait, I suppose. I guess they will be making contact with me if I win, but it's late at night, so I don't think I won. Ah, but do you remember what to do in situations like this? Yes, the glass is always half full. Be positive and optimistic about everything in life and things will always turn out for the best. Keep your chin up, son. The sun will shine bright tomorrow. Uh, maybe I'm really talking about my chin. Anyways, you get the idea. Oooh, I think I'm ready. BRB.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2G7VW2OY
Ta-dah! It's only one folder of the day's events, so I don't have anything more to add here. I seriously doubt you even remember the day. It was so long ago when you were so young. I don't remember most of your friends names and you probably don't either. Brenda, Thomas' mom, is about the only person I know. I miss her more than your mom. I wonder how she's doing...I'm excited to go through more photos so I'll say goodbye for now. Goodbye for now.

How Top Chun came to be.

SUN, 090222 @ 9:03PM
Hello again, Zachary Ryan Chun. This is your father, Jason Chun. You do remember me, Jason Chun, don't you? I usually go by Jason T. Chun, but for the sake of SEO, I'm going to use Jason Chun over and over again. Is it ok to use Jason Chun? I hope you don't mind me using Jason Chun. That was my name for about a year. I am now Jason T. Chun. What does the 'T' stand for you ask? Well, sit back and allow me to tell you a little story...
Way back in 1987, your grandfather made tons of money. We were living in a cruddy, 2 bedroom apartment in the Los Feliz area at the time. He made so much money, that he decided to buy a home in Torrance, about 30 miles south. He drove all of us over and announced, "Do you like this house?". We answered, "Of course we do, but it's kinda big, don't you think?". "Well, congratulations, it's our home now!". "Really, dad?". "REALLY?" We couldn't believe it. From a small, 700 square foot apartment to a huge, four bedroom, 2000 square foot house. WOW! We were all thrilled. I was 16 or so at the time. I used my Korean name, Jee Hoon, at King Junior High School in Los Angeles. None of the teachers could properly pronounce my name, so it was frustrating. I figured, once I changed schools, it would be easy to start with an American name. What name should I give myself, I thought. Your grandfather once brought home two key chains while we were living in Tennessee. One said, "Cindy" and the other read "Robin". I thought Robin was a cool name because that was Batman's sidekick's name. I didn't know at the time that Robin was a girl name too. Anyways, just before we made the move, I decided to name myself Jason. There weren't any Jason's at King and I thought it was an unique name I would appreciate. At my first day of school at Newton Middle School, there were four other Jason's in my English class. OH NO! It is a very common, white name but I didn't know this so I became another Jason of many. Anyways. The house that your grandfather bought us was right next to the Torrance Airport. Every day after school, I would see the actual pilots in the cockpits flying by because they were so close. I was intrigued by this and decided to drive over one day. I pulled into the parking lot of Rolling Hills Aviation because they had a sign that read "Learn to Fly - $20". Hey, I have 20 bucks. Let's check it out. As I climbed up the stairs, I noticed the rattling of the venetian blinds. They were watching me from the parking lot getting out of my brand new BMW 325. That'll be another story. Anyways, as soon as I got in, someone grabs my arms and leads me out the back into a Cessna 152, a small, two-seater, single engine land propeller aircraft. I didn't even have a chance to ask how much it would cost, how long it would take, or what was involved. He practically threw me into the plane and off we went. The biggest difference between a commercial jetliner and a small, single engine prop. is speed. Commercial jets have to fly fast because of the weight, but a single engine prop., you can actually pull around alone. I went up for the first time in this small aircraft and immediately fell in love. You can see all around you and because you're flying so slowly, you can enjoy the view. We landed, and I was in love. I couldn't believe how awesome the experience was and definitely wanted to get my pilot's license. I told them I would talk it over with my dad and get back to them as soon as I can. I was told that it would cost $2,500 if I was a quick study and that it would take about 3 months. That was kind of expensive, but I decided to ask grandpa anyways. I also thought that he would definitely say no because it's so dangerous. I asked him that night at the dinner table because he was in a good mood. "Uh, dad. Can I take pilot lessons?". He looked over to me and asked, "Pilot lessons?". Uh-oh. Here comes the terrible answer. "Sure, why not!". He didn't even ask how much it was going to cost or anything. I wanted it, and he was more than glad to oblige. "Really, dad?". I was in shock and very, very happy. The next day, I went back to RH Aviation and began my lessons. They bombarded me with rules and regulations and I was overwhelmed. We got back into that Cessna and for the first 12 hours of flight training, all we did were touch and go's. You see, anyone can fly a plane. Even you now, at your age. There are no roads or markers you have to fly by. You can go up or down or side to side as you wish. The hard part is landing. Sure, anyone can fly a plane, but can you land it? That's what a touch and go is. You fly in an airports traffic pattern and practice landing over and over again. I think my instructor said I was ready after about 12 hours of flying. I taxied back to RH Aviation, he jumped out, and wished me luck. I taxied back to the landing strip all by myself and anxiously awaited the tower's instructions. He told me I was cleared for takeoff, so at the end of the runway, I pushed in my throttle and off I went. My instructor forgot to tell me one little detail. He weighed about 250 pounds, so without him in the plane, it flew very, very differently. I shot straight up during takeoff and it freaked me out. With so much weight missing from the planes total weight, the aircraft behaved very differently. I flew back into the traffic pattern and made a perfect landing. I taxied myself back to RH Aviation. When I ran back into the office, everyone there congratulated me for successfully completing my very first Solo. It's tradition to rip the shirt off your back in order to write down and record the event. My instructor began to write ' On this day...". He paused just before my name and asked, "Hmm, what nickname should we give you?" Well, back in 1987, the movie that rocked everyone one in their boots was TopGun. I thought for a sec, and right on that spot, I blurted out, "What about Top Chun?!?". "That's a great name. I hereby declare you, Top Chun". That name has stuck ever since. It's my legal name, you know. Jason Top Chun. I got my pilot's license about a year later. I have a few good stories I want to share with you, but now is not the time. For now, revel in the birth of Top Chun and know that your father is a licensed, single engine, land pilot. TopChun, baby! That's how I was reborn. Hope you liked it. TTYT!

I'm not behind. I'm a head.

Hello, Zachary Ryan Chun. I was thinking about the ways in which you would finally find me when it occurred to me that you might do a Google search for me. I've been terribly worried about you and your sister's Google results that I completely forgot about my result. Nothing comes up for Jason Chun. I'm pretty well covered under Jason T. Chun. So, I'll have to start using my name without the middle initial, Jason Chun, so that I can be found. Or rather, so that you can find this blog. How was your week, son? I hope all is well with you. All I can do is just hope for the best. I've pretty much run out of pictures to post to this blog, so I started using Rachel Lauren Chun's selections. Above is a photo of you guys as power rangers. I'm not sure which is which, so I won't try. Well, maybe I will. You are the red power ranger and Rachel is the, uh, blue power ranger? Maybe I shouldn't have tried. Anyways. Do you remember all of the different series of Power Ranger? Here's my attempt. There's Ninja Storm, Mystic Forces, SV something, and uh, that's about all I remember. I think there was a Dinosaur Power Ranger, wasn't there? You'll have to forgive me for not knowing all of my Power Ranger's. Test me when we see each other again. You do remember my name, don't you Zachary Ryan Chun? It's Jason Chun. He he he. Yup, Jason Chun. The top search result for Jason Chun is some imdb character on some television series called Lipstick Jungle. I should be honored, I guess. They used Jason Chun as a character name on television. That's kinda funny, don't you think? That Jason Chun is a television character. Hmm. Jason Chun. Too funny. If you haven't noticed, I'm a day behind in my postings. Oh, no! The travesty! I'll try better to keep up, I promise. It's going to get so much harder once July 2nd rolls around because I'll have to post twice, once for Zachary Ryan Chun, and again, for Rachel Lauren Chun. I guess we'll cross that bridge once we get to it. For now, don't think of be as being behind, but rather a head. I want to catch up, so I'll post again with a story of how my middle name came to be. For now son, goodbye.
