I'm the one with the GUN!!!!
I just expressing my deep sorrow for my poor self. I will not get the chance to see "Evil Dead the musical." This is one of the two musicals that I heard about that I needed to see in my life time. The first being LORD of the RINGS which suck serious ass but heather made it totally worth. The shows runs until June 23, 2007; I return home to Canada a month after that. This I fear shall be another unfillable void in the bottom of my soul that Amanda still owns but lets me rent back on occassion at a very steep price.
EVERYBODY GO TO SEE THIS MUSICAL. JUST BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD HAVE THE SAME REGRETS. (It has nothing to do with the more people who go to the more chance they might extend the running for another month. Nope nothing to do with that. ) TELL YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, PETS, ZOMBIES, EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PIcs from SunJikSan
Just a few shots from my awesome weekend. Climbed a mountain, played disc, ate a steak, hung out with my girl, etc. I didn't on Saturday or Sunday, Yes you should be impressed and amazed.
This is a shot out over the cliff from beside a Buddhist Prayer Room.
This is a shot from the other side of the valley aiming towards the small temple.
This is the only picture I've taken in a month that I'm actually allowed to show people and say her name. For all of you wondering this is Joanna, riding a log in a creek.
This is that sexy guy you all know just posing above a rock wall that was along the hiking path.

IS-RE-AL!!!!! IS-RE-AL!!!!!!
is the strangest thing I've heard a group of canadian chant at a hockey. This weekend I went to the IIHF Tier 2 Group B Hockey Championships in Seoul. There was supposed to six teams but one NORTH KOREA dropped out. There was South Korea, Australia, Iceland, Mexico and ISREAL, you don't have to read back yes this is a hockey tournament. I don't know what to say other than this.
HAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The hockey wasn't as bad as I was expecting but the wuss factor was incredible. The game we watched was South Korea vs. Isreal, the South Korean team won the tourney and were the best (snickering to myself) of the tournament. But I can only remember 3 hits from a south korean player, while the israelias where taking them to school. Even in the brawl at the end of the game the korean was trying to get away and the israelia was taking it to him. ONE TWO THREE FLOOR then 4~12 while the refs try to break it up.
The environment for the game was probably the worst I've ever been a part of. The ref sucked, there was only snack food, no concession, no souveniours, no BOOZE. WHAT KINDA OF A HOCKEY ARENA DOESNT SERVE BOOZE? Not only that when we went to the convience bought booze and came back the cops came and confiscated it.

My Director may not be Satan
I recieved some very good news this week. So it all starts with Eddie and Matt wanting to visit me in Korea before I come home. I think they are mainly downing just for their selfish means (korean women) but in any case it will still be a great time. The problems arose as to when. I don't have anymore time off and taking time off is quite frowned upon. To understand how frowned upon I regale you with the tale of my sick days. I took two sick days when I was diagnosised with tonsilitis and was "visited" by Peter (the ultimate yes man) four times in two days. He made it seem like he was seeing how I was feeling but any sane person can see that they were checking up on me, Even though they took me to the hospital and were in the room translating for the doctor when he diagnosed me.
To say the least tryin to get time off because my buddies want to get drunk and sex up some korean university students. Isn't going to be the easiest sale I've ever had to make. So I scour the calendar to find days that I could take to give the most time to so end with them. It turned out that the most I could do was 5 days in a row off by taking two days off around a long weekend. But at the end of my contract, the last week of it there was a tuesday off. With me scheduled to leave on Thursday, last day of work being Wednesday. So if I can get them to give me the monday and wednesday off. I can get five days with my boys and head home the same day as them. Now just to get the Director to agree.
I propose the idea for removal of me from the classroom so that my replacement can take over on Monday and make the transition less turbulent. My manager seems apprehensive but will talk it over with the director. I assume I just got the Blow off and not the fun kind. She didn't even write anything down.
Two days later the manager calls me into the office. I am assuming the worst. She thanks me for my idea because they have had problems with teacher switches, parents love to complain. She takes out a calendar and says "the 16th and 18th were the days you wanted off right?" I agree. She nods but then goes off on a tangent about when the new guy is arriving and all this BS but it focused on the first week of July. So my curiousity is sufficiently peaked. She basically recites my idea back to me word for word except for the date. I said my last day would be the 13th(the friday before the long weekend. Yeah, I think the dates great too) She keeps saying the 6th.
Apparently I'm stopping teaching the 6th and observing the new guy from 9-13th and then I'm off. Which is pretty close to what I proposed minues a week of teaching. Then they drop the bomb on me, I can choose my flight home date as long as it is not more than two weeks after my visa expires. So they are letting me bounce around Korea 17 days after I stop teaching. This is quite something. Every person I've seen leave has left the day after they finished teaching. No choice, No opinion. So I probably won't be home till the end of July. THIS IS GOING TO ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!! (as long as they don't $%^#&^%^ me down the line.

Debate - Responsibility
A situation arose that I find myself alone in my stand point on. Which isn't extremely rare but I thought most people shared this belief with me. I won't say what my position is until after the weekend. To allow people time to formulate their own opinions.
The question is - Where does the burden of responsibility lay?
Side A - The Individual
Side B - The Scenario and Setting
For those on Side A think about Arms dealer and the leaders of armies should they be held accountable.
For those on SIde B think about the Video game and Media Violence debate.
I knw there are alot of others that you can use as examples please bring them. These were just ways to get the ball rolling.

Things are a changin'
I wish I could say for the better but since I was doing rather well there for awhile, we have to expect it to come crashing down.
I will organize this post as kinda of an update on the post " New stuff in My Life " from back in January.
I am now sleeping at what most people consider regular times up at 8am in bed by 11 pm. However I work from 1-9:30, so It doesn't put me in the best mood. Especially because my feelings about mornings.
I am no longer dating a virgin, or a korean. Just the psycho is left. I did I forget to mention the PSYCHO IS BACK!
Most of my electronics are fixed and no longer smelling of hot chocolate.
Football is over and I didn't bother watching the superbowl cause by the time my first class had started I heard about the game 6 times.
Hockey is now Running 3 times a week sometimes 4.
I have totally been watching porn almost everyday since my computer got fixed.
I have cleaned my apartment to the point where it is not a disgrace. And I did throw out the leaning tower of Dominos. (It was pretty high by the end to)
I still touch and hug, I still have no clue why.
Well as for the thing that was supposed to happen next with an old lady and penguin, still up in the air its hard to find penguins in korea.
But do not fear enough crap has been going on to fil my time.
Friend in hospital. Friends in Car accident. Computer Barely working. Good Buddy getting fired. New Guy arrives.
Thats it for now.
