| I momentarily tried to make private all my entries, but grew weary of it as it became quite a time-consuming endeavor.
What motivated me to do so was being informed of employers' newfound tendencies to "google" one's name when looking over job applications. After googling my name I found this xanga and thought to myself that there are highly private matters on this online blog of mine.
Then I frantically sought to make the entries only appear to friends of my mine, such as on xanga's now far superior cousin facebook, and when I couldn't find such a feature on xanga, I ended up clicking "make private" for each entry one click at a time. I quit once I got to the summer of 2008.
So now I have decided to just inform you, dear future hopeful employer, of what you will find on michaelwhang.xanga.com all in one entry, and thus save you the trouble of going all the way back to my 11th grade life.
These are unofficially the most common themes I speak on (not in any specific order):
1. The Los Angeles Clippers of the National Basketball Association
2. David Crowder of DavidCrowder*Band
3. My personal faith in Jesus Christ
4. My analogous interpretation of sports and their relationship to my personal life
5. Random things such as turtles and their livelihood upon birth on the beach shore
6. My musical endeavors including my band along with some personal poetry
7. My quest to regain hearing in my left ear after suffering from sensori-neural-ideopathic hearing loss
8. The years I spent from high school planting and being on staff at a Charismatic Church in the San Gabriel Valley
9. My passion and excellence in the video game NFL Madden and my historic bouts with good friends
10. Weird Al Yankovic lyrics
11. My short chronicling of my 3 months spent praying 6 hours a day at the International House of Prayer in Kansas City
12. My overcoming my fear of white girls
13. My emotional struggles in attending a music school instead of a real accredited school upon high school graduation
14. Some random crazy entries by my friend Eray talking about my high school love life that could have been
15. A lot of the earlier entries, especially are about my faith because as a high school kid I was passionate.
After writing this list, my heart has changed... I ought to keep posting xanga entries... What do you think, future employer... Xanga or Facebook Notes? | | |
| Overnight, free-agent point guard Baron Davis became the new target of attraction for the Clippers, according to a team source who requested anonymity because he is not authorized to talk about player movements.
http://www.latimes.com/sports/basketball/nba/clippers/la-sp-clippers2-2008jul02,0,1878838.story
Only two teams - Memphis and Philadelphia - are likely to have any significant room under the salary cap, but the Grizzlies have a plethora of point guards and the 76ers have Andre Miller pulling down $10 million this season.
There is, however, an intriguing landing spot: A league source said Monday that Davis, a Los Angeles native, is angling for a hometown return with the Clippers, whose veteran forwards Corey Maggette and Elton Brand also opted out Monday. The Clippers don't have room to sign Davis outright, but if they renounce the rights to Maggette and sign Brand to a relatively inexpensive deal, they could free enough space to make a run.

| i have worked out 10 days out of the last 12. granted, some may think this is just a normal lifestyle, but for me, it is a revolution, a renaissance. even back in the spring of junior year when i was in the best physical condition of my life, my workouts did not consist of what i've been doing the past two weeks. either before going to the gym, or following a trip to the gym, i have - with a group of friends - been running a three mile course on the mean streets of arcadia.
the first time i attempted this, i thought that i might die about halfway through the route. during the next session which was the following morning, i thought for sure i was dead, but somehow i managed to keep up with the rest of the crew, for fear of looking like a pansy. but now, after days of repetition my body and my mind has adapted and no longer dreads the thought of running 3 miles.
also, i have been going out to nightly prayer meetings at the reformation house of prayer in los angeles. my mind and body are still in the process of adjusting to this daily working of the spirit, but i already see significant amounts of change in my life.

the nehemiah band gathered on a few separate occasions this week for the purposes of preparing for our record. some call this process pre-production. we rehearsed and thoroughly went through our parts and are now ready to hit the studio a week from today.
