Welcome!
Hey, friend! So glad you dropped by. This is a fairly new website, with additional content on the way. Anyways, feel free to check it out! I know, I know... it's still a work in progress :)
SamJChong.com is my first foray into the world of creating, owning, and maintaining a website. To this end, I have the (overly?)ambitious goal of mastering html and css. This will give me the freedom and skills to code and design my own websites. Please use the Contact tab if you have any suggestions for the site.

Writing
The Hunt
Heart runs with the dogs
Forward, backward, bounding forth
Not waiting for the mind to catch up.
There—
Between trees and up ahead,
And in a clearing stands
Beauty.
Framed by sunbeams, head held high
As if she did not hear the horns.
And yet,
Upon approach she turns
To give one last pitying look
Before dancing out of reach and is
Gone.
