Meet Jeff Kee

Apart from the obvious fact that I am a young Asian male as you can see in the photo on the left, I grew up in South Korea for the most part of my life, with a 2 year layover in Missouri, USA between the ages of 6 and 8, and then I moved to Canada to complete high-school.

After toiling in an office environment of some sort in a large corporate of some sort, I refused to carry on that way, and started my own business in freelance design & marketing. That business has now grown to have 3 employees, and was running under Synchronous Design & Marketing. Now we have re-branded to Sonika Studios Inc. My business is my passion and my dedication, and I’ve been putting a lot of time and money into this venture to make it successful.

I love sushi, and I love to dance. In fact, I’m an avid follower of salsa dancing, and you can meet me on Tuesday nights at the Atlantis Nighclub in Downtown Vancouver. You can also find me taking lessons from the world salsa champion Alfonso Caldera, with the Bravo Dance Company. The Roundhouse Community Centre is where I play indoor soccer twice a week, and Stanley Park is my favorite bike route.

As much as I love growing my business and expanding, I also like to keep a good balance in life, and keep healthy. I am also keen to help the environment. I do what I can do help – recycling, using fabric shopping bags instead of going through plastic ones all the time, driving less when I can help it, and I support the Liberal Party of Canada.

I just want to say that I read that story on homelessness in Vancouver and one part hit me. You mention over and over again that you are so against the homeless and that you want them out of your field of vision… yet later down the line of heated comments you say that the money going to addiction related problems could be used to feed many starving African children. Could you explain why you are OK with one and not with the other? There are many homeless people that live paycheck to paycheck and once one doesn’t come they are out on the streets. Once on the streets, it takes about 5 months worth of rent to get going again (first + last month’s rent, security deposit, etc.) so even if the goal was to get back into a cheap apartment asap it’s far more difficult than the obvious. I live in L.A. and I’m friends with a homeless couple on Venice Beach who are in this situation. I see their situation to be somewhat of a catch-22, just like the hungry African children who have little to no means of income and feel helpless.
You and I have very different point of views but I am curious as to your take on this. You say you are very knowledgeable but to be on the top you must hold qualities of both sides. Being open allows you to prove a stronger point than sticking to one side… you may know this already but you haven’t mentioned it yet so I thought I would ask.

Thanks, Charlie

Hi, Jeff Kee !
I’m Chang-young Hwang, your homeroom teacher in Salesio Elem. School about 10 years ago. I think you remember me 100%.
So long time no contact with you and it’s so nice to get your web site through your mother.
At present, I’ve been working at Hwakai Elem. School as a vice-principal.
Also, I was well-read in the outline of your own introduction. I’m so proud of your diversified life in Canada. Your job captivates me and future-oriented and even you spend your spare time very impressively. Sometimes your mother introduces your fresh job life and your younger brother, Seungjoo’s college life proudly.
I so strongly hope that you and Seungjoo are to be worldwide people. So, Jeff Kee, I have a natural wish for you. On the basis of your present job experience, why don’t you enter a university for upgrading your job widely. If possible, in my opinion, your university approach is very helpful to strengthen and extend your loveable job around this period. In relation to your job, you can improve your job proficiency and meet a lot of high-leveled and developed people through university life. Please think over my suggestion enjoyably. everything’s up to you 99% because you are my nice, thoughtful and sufficiently grown student.
I’m really glad to contact with once again.
Be generous my poor English writing, my lovely Jeff.
Let’s get in touch next.
Good luck to you everyday.
Your elementary teacher, Mr. Hwang.

I’m sure your boycott will be quite effective among losers who I would never deal with anyways.

This is a global economy. Whether I am Canadian or not has no relevancy. In fact most of my “Canadian” friends are losers who were still happy with $8/hr at a restaurant after they graduated highschool, while I went on to pave my own path. I intend to get my wealth, contribute to the good parts of the society (other successful and driven people, not union mongering losers and whiners), and live a great life where there is less competition and a bigger slice of the pie. You are now competing against the world, not just within. Migration is a given factor in the changing world, and it has been for decades now. Get used to it. We are all up against tougher competition and sharper people.

Basil, your website looks absolutely hideous and low-class – exactly proving my point of high-performance individuals vs. people who squeeze by with the low-end minimums. Pathetic.

Hardly more than a just a hobby, I don’t act like I am better than anyone, unlike you. I did the site on my own. Please don’t attack me personally. You made the Blog you get responses, your no one special why make out you are. Success comes with responsabilties. Conservatism is NOT Darwinism. Back to the Garbage bin you go. So get the hint.

‘If you want to work for humanity maybe those who are pathetic enough to succumb ti drugs and alcohol to fail in life should be kept out of the gene pool. I’m a practical business guy and you are a self righteous morality freak. Reality trumps vague moral concepts any day. And are you some white supremacist nut job? The north American continent belonged to the natives before the hard working Irish and Anglo Saxons came in. You are just as much of an immigrant as me. It’s just I’m proudly right wing, strong,an you’re pathetically left and weak. I don’t believe in subsidizing and fostering failure. If you fail you die. That’s Darwinism.’

Total BS.

Your the nut job not me. Really these are the same values that almost destroy the global economy, please your views are out dated and backward. My morality is the same as Christians, Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus, the list goes on. I am content in my faith and follow what billions also follow, love of there fellow man, this means care for the sick and hungry.
So I am morality freak, your a total waste of flesh and skin.

Really, Darwinism did you go to College or did your elementary teacher teach you that. Please humans have taken our self out of this, we drive cars, go to the moon,etc… We are not apart of the wild anymore.
Its been disproved http://overcomeproblems.com/believe_in_evolution.htm. Please use a better excuse than that, I am sure you steal and kill as well since its survival of the strong would negate Hospitals or research of disease all together, why not just let them die on the street and let the wild animals remove the carcass.

My point is that humans care for each other that is called Civilization without it there would of been no Darwin, who so happened to be a Christian with a theory not fact if you know a theory its there to disprove or prove. There is no proof of Darwinism.

The wild animals would of feasted on your body, I since I am physically bigger could fight and would be alive. My race if you will doesn’t breed as fast and we need to grow larger, your race breeds faster but die more often. That is why my race namely English has a language that is spoken globally can you say that about Korean? Please its all because we care, you can’t attack that.

The white Euaropean race based on your Darwinism is true, we use your race to do all the work. If you follow your Darwinism beliefs than I am your master… Total rubbism. In this Country we are equals in all ways. You made the statements online for the whole world to comment, don’t get upset and ignorant and use racial comments. You use insults to force your views. Not bloody likely. I could blob on the ignorance of new Immigrants coming to Canada to push there views. I just wonder what my comment count would be. I have read othere similar blogs done by Eouropean

Your views are on to express a view, I get it. I am a educated man, yet I care. I live in a City like all Cites there are poor, you were not the son of a Emperor. Poor are just there. Just like the rich. Without the rich thre would be no poor to compare it too. If you make a million and billionaire would think your poor.

You will never be a Bill Gates.

FYI if you were a good Business man you would of Critiqued my site with respect and offered consultation. Not insult it.

My views on your business practices are low. However I would say as a business man you relish in your Darwinism, my site is just a hobby, however I have friends who could of given you allot of business and they are ASIAN.

When I decide to do more with it but play, I would be looking, however your Business, Darwinian.

I will stop responding to you – you have horrible grammar and I cannot understand your run-on sentences. By the way, “your” cannot be interchanged with “you’re”.

Articulacy and grammatical accuracy is a massive factor that shows what class of person you are. This is a waste of my very expensive time. I suggest you come back when you are capable of conjugating error-free sentences to garner some respect at least.

By the way, your idea that Darwinism doesn’t exist because we don’t eat each other is such a juvenile and idiotic concept. Nowadays, the concept of “strength” has simply evolved. A man who can sue your ass to clean you out is more powerful than a guy who’s bigger than you, because, as you precisely point out, we’ve evolved into a civilized society. Every day as you enjoy your computer, clothing, food etc., you are living off the cheap labour and extorting it from a far away land and you are simply not able to recognize that due to your narrow visions. Darwinism exists in much larger forms. Anybody who enjoys any of the amenities of the 1st world are living off the bloods of the 3rd world countries, by indirectly benefiting from the corporate level abuses and power. You don’t have to be an executive to be part of that cycle.
