Find me on...
“You can’t explain why you like something. The bigger question for me was always to the people asking me to explain. [I’d say], ‘Why don’t you want to hear this?’ I love finding out why people don’t love things. And if you ask people why they don’t like things, particularly when they get into this sort of culture box, you find out that they’re not liking things because of what people are going to think about them, and not because of what the things actually sound like.”
Stew, on how people like music or don’t like music because they think other people think they should like or dislike it. (via nprfreshair)
I LOVE this because it’s something I’ve been trying to work on since High School. After encountering so many different people from so many different places this past semester I’ve become a lot better though at simply stating my likes and dislikes because most people have no background from which to criticize your music. If I’m talking to my best friend in Korea, Kim (she’s from Germany), she’s not going to know enough about, say, Chester French, to be like, “They’re lame and sold out. Eeww.” She’s going to listen to them and either like or dislike their jam. But without the preconceived notions there’s no judgement - just a personal preference. I like to try to go about all new things that way, and remind myself that people who will make fun of me for what I like aren’t worth it in the end and are only stomping out their own opportunities for growth.

Not complaining, but how come this is a picture of you and not of the cheesecake?
hahaha~ legit question. It’s because BoHee wasn’t supposed to see what we were making and I sent this to her to say we were baking something. I will gladly take a photo of the cake when we serve it! :D
Today I made a mandarine orange cheesecake with my friend Phil. Tomorrow I shall eat it in celebration of my other friend, BoHee’s birthday!~
My mom every year (until I went to college) made me a mandarine orange cake for my birthday. When BoHee came to the States she went with me to the grocery store and bought 30 tangerines because she loves them so much. So I decided to make a(n Italian) cheesecake (since she loves cheesecake too but I don’t like cream cheese cheesecakes) and steal part of my mom’s mandarine orange cake recipe and alter it a bit to make a kind of hybrid. I think it turned out well. We’ll see tomorrow. :D
Daniel smiling? Something that can’t be seen often. A bit fake? A bit awkward? Just a bit. A friend was like “how come you never smile when you take pictures?” So I took one smiling. I never really thought I had a pretty smile but I guess it’s something I need to improve on. Smiling isn’t really my thing but I’ve been trying to be happy lately so I guess smiling more often should be a good start.
My friends call my smile “the Jinwoon smile.”
Dang, your smile’s cute though ^_^

“It was true that I didn’t have much ambition, but there ought to be a place for people without ambition, I mean a better place than the one usually reserved. How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 6:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?”
