Sungha Jung is a resident of South Korea. He is currently 14 years old and is an acoustic finger-style guitarist. Sungha Jung started to learn to play the guitar when he was 9 years old. He joined Youtube.com in 2006 and has posted over 300 videos of himself playing the guitar ever since. He has done covers for songs by Jason Mraz, Michael Jackson, Yiruma, and many more artists. Sungha Jung has also composed many of his own pieces.
As said before, Sungha Jung is a acoustic finger-style guitarist and is only 14 years old. He has his own CD called "Perfect Blue". If you are interested in music without lyrics or you like the sound of guitars, you may like his compositions. I find them very calming and somewhat inspiring. It sounds like something that can make you happy from a bad day. Then again, it is my opinion. You have to hear it to decide on what it is to you.
You can hear his music at from his channel on Youtube.com:

Nick and Jay
Nick and Jay are both very important characters in The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Nick and Jay met at a party hosted by Jay. They had a conversation at one point and talked about their fighting in the army. After their conversation, Nick finds out that the man he was talking to was actually Jay Gatsby. When they met, Nick had no idea he was talking to his host but Jay knew.
In The Great Gatsby, Nick narrates from his prospective. Readers do not know much about him, though, readers do know a lot about how Nick looks at other people in the book. Nick heard an abundance of rumors about Jay such as him killing a man and that he was a spy, but when Nick got to know Jay more, he finds out that he is actually a nice person, in a way.
Jay is a mysterious person though. In some points of the story, he would disappear suddenly. During the lavish alcohol filled parties he throws, he stands by the side or alone and watches everyone around him have fun and become wasted. Jay seems to always have things go in the way of his will no matter what difficulties come between him and his destination.
Nick does not judge people according to himself. He said that his father told him that before he criticizes anyone, he must remember that all the people in this world did not receive the same opportunities has he had. Nick seems to be a friendly and person that is easy to get along with.
During a point in this book, Jay is very nice to Nick because he wants to get him to go along with a plan he had in mind. He wanted to see his cousin, Daisy. Jay and Daisy were once lovers but Daisy married someone else. Jay still has feelings for Daisy and he has waited for around five years so that he could see her. Here comes Nick, a person who can have access to Daisy. Now, here is the question for this blog. Do you think Jay only became friends with Nick so that he may see Daisy again or was it just a coincidence and that Jay had no prior knowledge of Nick's relationship with Daisy?

Winter Poem
The season of extended nights,
Covers the earth's land with pure white.
Brings to children immense delight,
When unraveling gifts under the Light.
Away with flowers that bring thee happiness,
Away with leaves of bright vivid boldness.
Replaced by day's newly found coldness,
Replaced by nights sustained murky darkness.
Covers the earth's land with pure white.
Brings to children immense delight,
When unraveling gifts under the Light.
Away with flowers that bring thee happiness,
Away with leaves of bright vivid boldness.
Replaced by day's newly found coldness,
Replaced by nights sustained murky darkness.
