Translated, it means “I want to go America. I really want to go!”

I had previously tweeted at her asking when she was going to come perform in America.

I can keep on dreaming!

It turns out the problems that I thought I resolved in the tail end of June were just delayed until they came back around again in July. Not that it was anything I did, which makes the problems easier to swallow…but there are always issues.

And hilariously, there are even more issues coming up, this one being my own doing. Not that I thought the bad times would be coming, but you reap what you sow and I will be digging through the weeds for quite some time.

It’s always a little depressing to see everyone else having fun but yourself. At the end of the day, those who feel bad for hurting me get to go back home to their comfortable little situations while I’m left to pick up the pieces.

Maybe it’s just time to leave the pieces where they are?

June had its ups and downs. Almost destined to go down as one of the worst months in history for myself, it looks like it has rebounded nicely.

I’m ready to put the troubles of the past behind me in this new month and get ready to hopefully enjoy a great summer.

I could do without the Sacramento heat though…but that’s another story.

By the way, can someone tell me if “ass out” is a hip new saying or something?

Moe Szyslak: [after Maya dumps him, Moe is cleaning his empty bar when Homer comes in] Whatsa matter, Homer?
Homer Simpson: Not a thing in the world.
Moe Szyslak: Yeah, I wish I could say the same.

Homer Simpson: Moe, this is a great thing for you. You went from sitting on the sidelines to getting in the game! Sometime, when you least expect it, you’ll realize that someone loved you. And that means that someone can love you again! And that’ll make you smile.

And to be honest, it kind of does.

But it was this song, when I heard it at their concert on Sunday at SF that has broken into the spot I usually reserve for songs that I play over and over for days until I’m sick of them. They actually have an English cover and sang it at the concert, although you can only find relatively spotty fan vids on YT right now. For now, let’s enjoy the original MV in Korean (but with English subtitles)!

I think they’ve got the non-pop ballads down pretty well too. More interestingly, this has a (very small) piece of Yubin, the rapper, actually singing on her own, which I think she does super well and they need to incorporate more in their songs.

So next week, stay tuned for more Twitter trends related to events in my life, such as #whydidieatthatoldfish and #avoidingbeinghitbycars.

For reasons completely separate from the below post  (“Dead End”) this song has entered my current playlist for personal reasons. Feel free to ask me if you’re so inclined.

In any case, I think it’s a beautiful song about meeting someone special, so much so that it gives you the ability to fly up into the sky (the “sora mo toberuhazu” of the title).
