So i've given an endless string of reason shy this place sucks.
Here's a few of the awesome things here:
The kids: these lil' guys--and i do mean little..at least when i'm standing around them--are pretty fucking sweet. Well the good ones are at any rate. And even the bad or mischevious ones...

Yo yo.
Feelin it all =) I like to go to the local supermarket to be blasted with some "FUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOU!!!" lyrics with some some mad techno beat backin it up at 9am. Makes me feel like I'm somewhere interesting. i am frequently amazed by the stuff that plays in stores here. Just today I walk into a store in the late morning and start hearing "We don't need no water let the MOTHERFUCKER burn...".. but its some mad Korean remix with a bit of hanguk rapping inbetween blasting an english chorous littered with profanities.
Anyway don't know whether I'll hit Seoul anytime soon. i know I should.. coz its like.. the big city and its famous and shit. Fuck it, maybe I'll come for New Years. Got anythin exciting for New Years? my initial plan was a "FUCK Y'ALL" and gettin pissed alone. In my small apartment in my small town. Maybe the plan could be altered. However that might fuck with my "Every New Years sucks" theme I'm trying to keep running throughout my entire lifes though.

PS. Merry Christmas. Or Festivus. Or whatever.

I tend to go for Amazon.com. You can get almost anything on there.
Sorry it still sucks there. It sucks here too. I guess the east coast is where it's at.

Fuck....if i wasn't ten thousand plus miles away i'd like to try and do something, but i know that you can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped. Lord knows my family so painfully learned...

Thanks for the compliment.
And sorry to hear about the 10,000-mile away girl, but right on! regarding the tall blonde from the grocery store.
for some reason, I'm reminded of the following lyrics:
My baby she long
My baby she tall
She sleep with her head in the kitchen
And her feets out in the hall...
Good luck!

11 hours a day? What the hell kind of hellhole do you work in?? I work 3:15pm to either 7:40 or 8:50. And i think I work too much. None of that mixed ability crap either. I almost feel lucky compared to you.

I'm sorry-- wish I were in a position to do something, but my super-powers only extend so far. Like, possibly to Alabama.

Stay tuned . . . more coming soon . . . 
Ugh...had a job interview today and i think it both sucked and blew. The prinicple of the school spoke no english and the supervisor spoke only broken English...though apparently enough to recognize my last name as Polish 
They asked me questions and didn't give me a chance to answer any...said they thought my height would scare children (though in reality they love it and see...

Damn, man. All that sounds kind of disheartening. I hope that you get the better job this week and that things start looking a little more positive.
Thanks for the comment on the pics, I hate every pic that's ever been taken of me but it's nice to know people actually pay attention.
Peace.

Oh, man, I was waiting for an update concerning South Korean music. Wait until you get a chance to watch their soap operas for any amount of time.
What happens when parents spend nearly 40% of their monthly income on their children's education so they can get good jobs? There's not enough money left over to keep the economy going to ensure those good jobs are still there when it's time for the chick to leave the nest...or so the rational goes.
What happens when the government notices this? They force companies to...

Leif Garret?! You bastard!
What's this noise about South Korean computers? You aren't there are you?
Sorry as hell to hear about your job, pal. They're obviously prejudiced towards tall (superior) people.

One of the greatest days of my life, OK not greatest but amusing, was when a group of Japanese high school girls followed me around and pretended to feint when getting too close to me.
I'm sure the same ego inflating events happens to you on a daily basis. Long live the talls!

Well, so i'm down here in South Korea. Weird...it still hasn't sunk in yet that i'm actually here, though it's undeniable every time i look out the window. I sorta feel like i'm stuck in the world's largest China Town...or rather Korea Town. And in many ways i am...Seoul has nearly 20 million people!!!! Crazy.
The flight down here was pretty damn long, but i...

Well...come Sunday I'll be in South Korea. Wish me luck...in the mean time. Don't know when i'll be online again, but rest assured, i will be online. Peace out peepz.

I don't think you can do that. What you can do with your passport is be escorted in the base by a military servicemember. The base exchange (basically the mall) generally doesn't let people without a valid military ID in (they check, too). The smaller shops around, though, are not as stringent--unless you're trying to buy something like booze or smokes.
I'm just trying to go through the motions on this last year, to be honest with you.

thanks for your comment on my oh so long ago...xox dusty
for your comment on my oh so long ago...xox dustySo Baltimore/Charm city was a good time. The train ride was pretty freaking long, but it was fairly comfortable. At least i had a nice person sitting next to me to talk to and pass the time with...and she was pretty cute too hehe. So, Pittsburgh to Philadelphia was a pretty decent ride, but Philadelphia to Baltimore sucked pretty hardcore as the train was standing...
