HI! Monogrande Here!

Dear Steem,

My name is Aaron. Aaron is my American name. I am a Korean-American immigrant from South Korea. My grandmother was Japanese, and while that does make me somewhat of a unicorn racially - because the older Korean generations dislike the Japanese - I am a fully functional Korean-American.

English is my first language, as I immigrated to the US when I was eight years old, but I am fluent in Korean thanks to comic books, Korean TV shows, and K-Pop. I don't listen to much K-Pop anymore, but I'm a big fan of AKMU.

I play guitar. I currently own an original Seagull S6 (Solid Cedar Top, Laminated Cherry Sides, L.R. Baggs M1), a 1963 Harmony (Solid Mahogany), and an unbranded Japanese lawsuit Tele. I use a POD XT Live for convenience and run it through any amp I can find. All my guitars were setup and cared for by my talented friend and world-class luthier, Isaac Jang. https://www.isaacjangguitars.com/

I collect baseball cards and Dodger bobbleheads. I am what they call a "propector", which means I like buying minor leaguers cards in expectation of those cards getting ridiculously expensive as the player goes to the majors. It happens more often than you'd think (look up Aaron Judge Bowman Chrome Autos). I used to go to hobby shops to open boxes of cards, but after my marriage, I haven't really "gone to town" on a box of cards. Here's a video of one of the greatest pulls of my life, a redemption for Kobe Bryant HRX Autograph, numbered out of 10.

I am happily married to a beautiful girl named Julie. We're not rich and still paying off school loans and what not, but we get by with love. I know that sounds cheesy, but hey, when one of your mutual favorite songs is The Eagle's "Love Will Keep You Alive", well, you kinda live by it.

I am a Christian. I live my life so that I can exemplify Christ and Christianity.

I am invested in cryptocurrency, but I have sold most of my Ethereum because I couldn't live with myself if I lost out on the $400 peak. I sold off at $414. I am now into steem and golem, but steem is proving to be more fun.

I think that about does it. Maybe I'll do a part two about my work and how I got my name, but that's really if anyone's interested. Thanks for the read!
