Goddamn...sometimes I hate these fucking kids...

the header sums it up...

i definitely won't make the 2nd year in this hell...

if ain't one thing, it's another...

• never getting paid on time any more
• manager never answers texts directly...a week later when i see him he will say he saw it but never an actual timely response...
• yr 4 teachers who do nothing to keep any kind of discipline when i'm trying to teach...they just do their thing or sit there or leave...
• too much douche minutiae in terms of paperwork for teaching Korean 4-7 years old...TONE IT DOWN !!!
• bring back field trips...i'm tired of staying in every Friday with either a lame zoo day or hiking day or whatever...you people should of done a better job of minding the pocket book way back when...

Weekly Banality Update 7-13-2014

a very technology unfriendly week.

-I had to replace my watch (40000 won)
-my fitbit died after 2 months (time and effort in shipping it to the fitbit place here in korea)
-my mouse on the laptop died and...(10000 won)
-I washed my digital camera in the laundry...(camera was used, cost me 60000 won, who knows what the next one will cost if I have to replace it)

yep...i  washed my digital camera in the laundry...did i mention i'm an adult...

nice...real nice...

so far, the high point of my weekend has been washing my digital camera in with the laundry...here hoping the rice trick dries the sucker out...we'll see in a week

sad thing is i'm not really that mad about it since (a) it's my own damn fault and (b) it gives me an excuse to shop for a new one if it is dead...

Weekly Banality Update 7-6-2014

Work - they owe me something like $300 books from June...get on that...

my watch broke (may be the battery but it also won't wind properly), my fitbit flex won't charge (it's died less than 2 months after purchase 139,000 won)...bought a new watch from a clock store in the neighborhood at 9pm on a sunday after finding out my local Emart (think Target or Walmart type store) doesn't have watches...


went kayaking saturday, met a cute Korean girl...got sun-burnt the hell up...was suppose to go on another trip sunday but skipped it...only out $5 bucks...

I'm totally on board with Almond milk and Soy milk (chocolate)


present obsessions:

music: Akdong Musician

video game: NFS Rivals (PS3)



looking forward to my summer vacation last week of July and AIA Now festival Aug 15th...

Losing your home is as heartbreaking as it gets...

My mom finally gave up last year and stopped paying the mortgage in order to short sale here home. That means sell the home for less than the value of the mortgage and all proceeds go to the mortgage company(s)

In the beginning, a single company held both mortgages. but when we began the process they sold one and we had to restart the whole process again with company 2. A complete dick move...

but we are now finally at the packing stage...we have to be gone in a hair over two weeks from now...I don't think my stress level has been higher in my life...

I'll go more into it later but I'm just so tired...

nothing funny today...

I woke up around 1030 this morning, had breakfast, and promptly got back in the bed. I stayed there until after it got dark....I watched a little TV and messed around on my iPhone and Nook, but stayed in the bed...

This has to be depression right. I mean I can't be so lazy as to just sit in my room and be content doing nothing. I'm not. It was a gorgeous day outside today. It was 69 F less then a week from February. And I couldn't bring myself to go outside...

I could of gone to the zoo today. I want to go sometime soon but I just can't bring myself to go.

This is what usually happens: I decide to do something...it takes forever to get ready and motivated to go...when I'm literally getting my keys and putting on my shoes, I get this overwhelming feeling of " What's the point? This won't make you happy. give up and go back to bed"


random sidenote: Rolling Stone, your 50 Funniest People Now list is horseshit...you got random people no one's heard of yet no Bill Burr...

if your magazine's plan is to not be relevant, then you are doing a wonderful job...


Also I've decided I want to move to LA sometime in my life to be close to good live stand-up comedy...

Sorry I haven't posted in ages...

I need to post a proper blog update but now I need to rant...


The one thing I've been reading this election cycle that pisses me off to no end is when people use "Mr." to refer to President Obama.

My irritation probably comes from studying journalism in college and teaching English in Korea. But showing petty disrespect by calling him "Mr." just makes you look small.

It's OK to hate his guts. But he is the President Of The United States. You don't like it. Do something about it on Tuesday.
