A funny thing happened at the library, as I’m helping my 10 year old sister pick out her weekly book. She looks up from the stack of Juvenile Fiction novels I picked out and says in frustration, “Oppa, I just want to read a book with a good ending. I don’t care if it’s funny, happy, or sad, I just want it to be good.” And with that that, she confirmed my long-held suspicion that she, too, has my germ. A disorder I can only classify as "emotional appetite". My mom calls it passion. My friends call it annoying. We all have it to a certain degree. It’s what keeps us up at night and out on weekends.
Like this. My mom and I recently waged the 2nd Korean War. It was our first shouting match in what seems like years, so it drew out all kinds of deeply-rooted baggage. But in hindsight, I didn’t hate it. To be perfectly honest, I kind of enjoyed it. The tears, gestures, and shouting. Throughout the work week, it’s just nice to feel alive.
Cause my sister and I are sort of addicted to stimulation. And we'll take it at any cost. Watch this video(1:52)of Kanye and you’ll know what I’m talking about. He doesn't mind the pain. Maybe, he even prefers it. And he doesn't mind disasters. Just look at his life. At the end of the day, I want to be a high-risk/high-reward guy. Hit or miss. Whether my students like me or not, I just want to get a rise out of them. get their minds churning.
For now, I'm just focusing on the Absolute Value. Remember in Algebra, where if two lines flank an integer you ignore the sign and the answer becomes its distance from zero? For better or worse, I'm just trying to go big. These days, Erin follows me to the Adult Section of the library, looking for Absolute Value.

whoa, what a hedonist. we all know the progression, Boxcar Children then drug addiction.
