My Day at the Lake: Lake Lure

So, this week we will not be doing a K-pop group of the week, I didn't have time to gather information for one this week because we have family in town. So, I am writing today about my time at the lake today at Lake Lure, North Carolina.  As I mentioned before, we have family in town and we thought it would be nice to swim because, you know, summer, so we went to the lake. See, where we are in North Carolina is completely land locked and the nearest, actual beach, is Myrtle Beach in South Carolina and is about 4 hours away and not ideal to travel to; because Lake Lure was closer and had a small beach, we went there. The entrance fee was $10 per person and we stayed for a couple of hours. Lake Lure is a man-made lake in Hickory Nut Gorge in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It had such pretty scenery and was very relaxing. Me and my family went and had a great time. We swam in a roped off portion of the lake that was a lot more spacious than it appeared from the shore (even

K-Pop Group of the Week: Stray Kids

Hello, everyone. I am thinking of starting a segment on here and it is called K-Pop group of the week. I know this isn't a new concept and it has been done a million times, but I don't know what else to call this segment at the moment so this is just what we're gonna go with for now. This will be the first installment of that segment and I will be talking about Stray Kids today as they have gathered more attention lately from when I started liking them, and, they have a comeback on July 19; so let's go. Stray Kids is an 8 member Idol group from South Korea who debuted in 2018 on March 25, they are celebrating their 6th year this year. They debuted after Bang Chan hand picked all of them and went through their own elimination show run by JYP himself, Lee Know and Felix were eliminated and then, brought back into the group at the end. They were originally a 9 member group but became an 8 member group in 2020. We don't really know much about what happened,

Tomorrow x Together (TXT) In DC Concert Post

So, over the past weekend, last Saturday, to be exact; I attended the Tomorrow x Together Concert in Washington DC at the Capital One Arena. I flew in early Friday 6/7 to make sure that I would be able to arrive at the concert on time. I saved money on hotel by staying with my brother who lived nearby the venue. Friday went on more or less uneventful, but it was really a nice chill day, rested up for the concert the next day. Fast forward a bit to Saturday to a couple of hours before the concert, I'm finishing up getting ready and we're on our way to the show. I arrived to the concert by 5:15 pm and the concert started at 7:30 pm, gates opened at 6 pm and let's not forget to mention that merchandise and line waiting started at 8 am that morning, and the lines were about half a mile to a mile long, hundreds of people all waiting to see these five men dance and act cute for 2.5, maybe 3 hours, and I was so there for that because I was one of those people who arrived 2 hours b

Random Late Night Musings

As today is mother's day, I wanted to make this post.  Has everyone bought their moms/maternal figures gifts? Or are you doing something special for them? I hope you are able to spend time with your moms/maternal figures. It takes a very patient person and a strong willingness to want to care for others to become mothers. I know people say this all of the time, but it still seems the best way  to describe who mothers are, they will always take care of you and put you before themselves. Mothers will always worry about you. You can be making millions of dollars and have so much that you don't know what to do with, a family, a house. You could be happy, and they would still be worried about you and always worried you'll lose your happiness. Mothers always want their children to be happy and healthy and in a situation where they know you'll be ok without them there. Always cherish your mothers or maternal figures. Always. As much as we want them to never leave us, everyone

So how about those KPOP Tour dates?

Has anyone else here realized how so many groups are going on tour all at the same time? For example, in the Stray Kids Step out 2024 video on YouTube (https://youtu.be/Pxss4QUsz8Q?si=_dIQ5U5RbU2NqLwF) they announced a world tour (We are still waiting ANXIOUSLY for those dates). Then, after that Tomorrow x Together had a comeback in April and then announced their Act: Promise tour almost directly After that. (I got tickets to DC on June 8; I am over the moon happy about that. Watching Lollapalooza live on YouTube just isn't the same thing). Our most recent perpetrator is Ateez, they have been hinting at a world tour since their last comeback with Crazy Form back in December, which would be, y'know fine, IF they hadn't just done Coachella! I am so proud of these boys (don't get me wrong), yet their tour announcement hurt my multi-stan heart. I barely managed to get TXT tickets, literally dots were flying of the seating chart in real time, but Ateez JUST finished Coachell
