About Me

This is my own little CNN. We as Earthlings are bombarded with images and news that are just not relevant or important to us as individuals. However, we can’t necessarily blame the mainstream media for being so narrow in their focus and domestic in their range. This is a news blog of a wide-eyed teenage/young adult living in the new dawn of a century where anything is possible and globalization means that the planet and its people are coming together as one. Sounds like a scary fairy tale. But it is true. The future is here and now. Live It.

Captain Yosok Pun Update.

It's been a few days since I last posted anything here. Been busy a lot these days. Got a lot in my mind (means got many things I have to do). And it doesn't help that my car is "injured" from the accident last friday. Now I have no job which means no money for me. Too bad<>. Spring semester is starting soon!!! Next Week!!! Have to fix my car soon. Not to mention the books I have yet to buy. This winter holiday went by quick. Thanks to this online computer class I'm taking. The projects are really stressful and time-consuming especially when it is due the day its assigned. Guess I had it coming registering for a four-week winter session. I was even thinking about doing the two-week session. Who am I kidding?? By the way, I've been going to the Nepal Baptist Chruch on York Rd for the past month or so. It's a small chruch but it's great. Anything with God is great (I read that once). I get have fellowship with many nepali brothers and sisters in Christ. I'm so very excited about my baptising this coming Sunday. My dad is getting baptised with me too. Pastor Cho is coming to my house along with my other church members after our baptisal. My house is going to be truly blessed this Sunday. I've believed in HIM for a long while and now feel blessed that my family has finally come to accept Jesus as well. It is all through his power and glory. Amen. Now that my head has cleared a little, (blog today!!! was what I promised myself today, haha) I can move on with the other things in my head. Praise the Lord!

(News)-(Politics) Captain Yosok Pun Wishes Barack H. Obama a blessed Presidency

As Barack Obama takes the oath of office today, thousands of people will be gathered at Washington D.C to witness history in the making. He would be the first black president to be sown in as leader of the free world. And its not that he is black that this is histroic. Well partially, ya. But it is the way he ran his campaign and how he embraced the ideals, values and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to present day. I mean what a coincidence that 40 yrs after the death of MLK and following MLK's 80th birthday, America would have a black president. This is the stuff of movies and the work of god. Just like the millions of youth and minority groups who helped getting him elected, Captain Yosok Pun promises to do everything in his power to help the Obama Adminstration move forward with its mission to make America perfect.

(Entertainment)-(Music) Behind the Music Shinedown's "Devour"



I am sure all of you have heard the single from Shinedown entitled "Devour". It's on the rock radio a lot. The message is really simple and direct. Though like all art forms, its implications are vast, hear what the motivation was for the song from the band members themselves. This was brought to you, compliments of your V.E.M spaceship captain, Yosok Pun. Thank You

(News)-(Politics) Obama is President of USA!


Who would have thought that America would one day have a black president? A hopeful majority. But who would have thought that America would have a black president by 2009? A very few. Apparently not President George W. Bush's generation who lived through the Jim Crow era. Obama was in fact, one of only three black senators in Congress. Add to the fact that, he was a junior senator from Illinois with only two years of experience in Congress. The chances of a black guy running for president was slim to none. But Obama had something that none of the other candidates had. What he lacked in experience he made it up in his youth. Americans, tired of the same old politics of Washington made their voice heard on Nov. 4 when they appointed Barack Obama Jr. to lead America into the new century. Many Americans did not see any change in McCain. He was Bush with a little more baggage, white hair and even more aggressive style. Obama was the complete opposite. I've heard people say anything other Bush would be good. I say there is no other way than Barack Obama. He represents to the world change America desperately needs and wants. This has been Captain Yosok Pun commenting on the recent elections held in the United States of America. Republicans/McCain voters can leave their comments by clicking the comments hyperlink below. They are all the more welcome. Thank You.

(Sports)-(Soccer) Kaka Turns Down Record Offer




This just in from the city of Italy. AC Milan favorite and Brazilian star, Kaka' has turned down a world record transfer fee of 100M pounds from English Premiere League Club Manchester City. Kaka' has said that he likes playing for AC Milan and likes the competitiveness of the Serie A league. This goes to show what a faithful and passionate soccer player Kaka' is. It is not about the money but the club and level of competition Kaka' feels he should play in to improve his soccer game. Big props to my man, Kaka'. He has just given me one more reason to like him. If you're happy, money is secondary. This was a news bit from your Captain Yosok Pun. I hope you guys are enjoying the ride so far. As you look to your right, you can see the Earth's moon. How marvelous it looks!! Please take a moment to take in its beauty.
