seoulbrother:

39 years ago yesterday, just outside of Seoul, South Korea, Mac stepped off a plane, threw his duffle in the back of a waiting Jeep and skipped In-processing to race across town.

He just finished two extended tours in Vietnam that started right before the Tet Offensive and ended after the New York Times broke the Pentagon Papers. He volunteered.

Because of a Girl

He met Sun Cha when he was stationed in Seoul a few years earlier. They were introduced by her friend Kim and his friend George and dated for about nine months before he absolutely knew he loved her.

It happened the night Sun Cha burst in on Mac and George as they attempted to buy 15 cases of liquor from Korean black marketeers who were known for their ruthless nature. Sun Cha berated Mac out the door and then verbally assaulted the gangsters in Korean for a good 10 minutes before walking out. She was the baddest woman he ever met and Mac knew he was in love.

Sun Cha wasn’t worried about Mac’s safety or his motives. She thought Mac was cheating on her. That night she realized that she was moved to bravery by fury because of love.

Shortly after that night, Mac received orders to go back to the U.S. He already used the maximum number of extensions allowed. The Army told him the only way back to Korea was through Vietnam. Six months to a year, they said. Max.

Two years later, yesterday, George brought the Jeep to a skid outside the apartment Kim and Sun Cha shared. Mac jumped out, stood in the middle of the street and shouted her name until she looked out the window.

Neither of them remember exactly how he proposed or where it happened— the stairwell, her apartment, in the street or maybe later— but both of them know that they couldn’t wait until the following Monday or Tuesday when the Chaplain would be available to marry them. So 39 years ago, today, Friday the 13th, they said “I do.”

I just saw this….

Apple’s iTunes Store has launched a summertime comedy promotion giving away five full-length episodes of some popular TV comedies… for free. Dozens more episodes are being virtually given away at just 99 cents a pop.

Getting the gratis treatment are some ensemble half-hours with strong cult followings, including “Arrested Development,” “Human Giant,” “Reno 911!,” “The State” and “The IT Crowd.” Users can only download one free episode of each series, but other episodes of those shows are available for under one buck.

Check it out under “GREAT TV COMEDY”

“Cedric Price famously said that the best solution to an architectural problem may not be a building. And never has it seemed more imperative to the welfare and survival of the profession that architects make themselves known as designers of options, instead of icons.”

Social media takes a turn for the irreverent. Love it or loathe it (I loved it!) Aretha Franklin’s hat was the talk of the inaugural town….now some Flickr users have formed a pool devoted to the remarkable headpiece. My faves:

“But while our president-elect, seated stage right, showed steely resolve by nodding and singing along through even the most terrible performances, heroes Sasha and Malia Obama bravely broadcast their non-enjoyment by looking completely bored (Malia) or falling asleep on their mom’s lap (Sasha). When they liked something, though, Malia showed it by excitedly snapping pictures with her camera (neither First Daughter liked Mellencamp, Will.I.Am, or Crow, but both are apparently big fans of Beyoncé, Usher, and Kal Penn). They are our new national conscience. Can somebody get them onstage seats at the Grammys?”

Trying to find a liquor store in Beverly Hills is like searching for the Hope Diamond. Full of deception, one-way streets, rich people in funny hats — and when you finally get to the end there’s an old woman who’s pissed all over everything.

Whoa.

Sam Cooke: A Change is Gonna Come.*

I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh and just like the river I’ve been running ever since
It’s been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

It’s been too hard living but I’m afraid to die
Cause I don’t know what’s up there beyond the sky
It’s been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

I go to the movie and I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me don’t hang around
It’s been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

Then I go to my brother
And I say brother help me please
But he winds up knocking me
Back down on my knees

Ohhhhhhhhh…..

There been times that I thought I couldn’t last for long
But now I think I’m able to carry on
It’s been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will
