This post is no way glorifying thug or gangster life. As that is completely against my beliefs as growing up alone as a korean kid in Tennessee with a southern accent. Lol that right there is asking to get picked on. Constantly fighting every other day with kids after school. I would never initiate violence, only in self defense.
I was a teenager living in Tennessee at the time and I always wanted to be a small business owner. I thought I wanted to own my own dry cleaners as there was a successful Korean man married to an American lady who got a 1 million dollar small business loan from the local city in Nashville. Opened a dry cleaners and made over 1 million in sales the first year. Following years he made almost double in sales. He was a millionaire in 5 years time. He was strategically located near a large well to do business office area with no competition. I worked there at the bottom as a shirt presser all the way up to spotting and running the dry clean machines to eventually assistant manager . The hours were long 14 to 16 hours a day. Hot grueling work and low pay. Always in a rush and many of the workers including me spotting and running the dry clean machine don’t wear proper gear and respirators. But anyways I was excited that I was learning all the skills to hopefully one day save enough money to open my own dry cleaners. Then one day I was reading a dry cleaners newsletter reading about all the many successful Korean dry cleaner owners getting rich in the dry cleaning business. Then I looked at the back at the obituary and noticed a pattern. Many of them died with cancer.
Perclorathine is the main chemical used back then in the dry clean machines. It was the standard and now it’s banned. So that ended my dream of owning a dry cleaners. Lol
Even though I have a hard life. I wanted to make money but not die of cancer and never get to enjoy my success.
My girlfriend in Tennessee also left me for my rival so I felt I needed another change of scenery. So I packed my bags and hopped on my 1992 Suzuki GXSR 750 Street bike and headed to Alpharetta Georgia to start all over again. On to another adventure.....
When I first got there I worked construction installing vinyl siding on residential development subdivisions.
Pay was good. Long hours and work was steady.
I was renting a room from my friend sang hun’s aunt who had an empty room in her home in Alpharetta Georgia. We agreed I would look for my own place after I got a full time job.
Since I worked long hours I really didn’t know anyone in Georgia. My buddy sang hun called me and said he was coming to visit me and his aunt the following weekend.
I was pretty stoked and that weekend sang hun and i went drinking and clubbing in K-town. We first went to point cafe to drink beer and soju and karaoke a bit. Had a great time. Then we went clubbing to a local Korean nightclub on Buford highway. Had a blast and great time so many korean girls more than I’m accustomed to ratio wise than a standard nightclub. We will get back to that on a later post. Lol
So my buddy Sang hun and I was having a great time taking shots and drinking beer at the same time. Club was packed. Never seen so many korean ladies all in one building. I had to take a piss so I headed to the mens bathroom.
Had been drinking all day. Go there and there is a line for the bathroom. Shit! 8 guys in front of me. Man I had to go bad !! Waited till I was next it was grueling. Almost there. Lol. I’m like swinging back and forth as I drank a lot of beer all day. Only 1 toilet and 2 urinals. There was 2 guys at the urinals and one was this pimple faced older guy who was bullshitting with his friend next to him. Mr pimple face finished taking a piss and zipped up and he turned glances at me. Smirks. Then turns and keeps bullshitting in Korean nonstop with the guy next to him without moving away from the urinal.
He was fucking with me. I was ready to piss my pants. Lol.
I said fuck it and I pushed him out of the way. Unzipped and had the geyser explode. Whew relief. lol.
Pimple face dude was talking shit but when you gotta go you gotta go. Lol
I will Deal with the circumstances later.
Pimple face dude leaves obviously cause he’s a punk ass chicken shit.
so I’m still at the urinal relieving myself and all the sudden 6 guys with pimple face dude rush into the really small bathroom. I’m drunk holding my dick still relieving myself and pimple face was pointing me out to there ringleader this half white half Korean dude named dong in aka dong hyung. Lol. Dong means shit hyung means brother in Korean. Shit brother. Lol
So I’m almost finished with my epic, most dramatic, dangerous and longest piss ever and dong hyung pushes me while talking shit to me.
My pee is now splashing all over the place including my pants. I was pissed, angry and drunk as fuck. Shit was about to go down. I was outnumbered 6 to 1!!
there was a lot of shit going down in that little bathroom with only 1 toilet and whoever was in that stall couldn’t get the stall door opened there were too many korean dicks in a tiny bathroom ...i was gonna get my ass kicked for sure...but I was gonna make sure pimple face dude was gonna pay for this shit. Lol.
He was gonna be the first victim for sure. So I zipped up my pants and was ready to go to war.
I had piss all over my pants and shit was about to go down...
Fists clenched....
time to go to war ....
Out of nowhere my buddy sang hun rushes into the bathroom and he was like DONG HYUNG !! The ring leader turned around and he was like sang hun !! Aww diversion... action !!! I grabbed pimple face by his head and was gonna swing his face into the urinal....Dong hyung says in korean to sang hun....where have you been it’s been so long since I have seen you. !!!! Then sang hun introduces me as his buddy. I let go of pimple face And I apologize to everyone. I’m relieved as I thought I would have to lay down a ass kicking while eventually being overrun as there was a lot of pissed off dudes in a very small bathroom in K- town Georgia ...year 1998
To be continued.
