Changing my Life

Since KOrea is just a crap shoot. I have been doing alot of random things to make my life more enjoyable.It has been working out pretty well for me so far.

First, I have been spending more money on food and less on booze. It sounds wierd coming from me but I think its actually making me happier. I still hate food but now I realize how much I LOATHE FOOD. So if I spend more money on it, to get a small bit more enjoyment out of my meals. As long as they aren't terrible (all the Korean things I've eaten and hated, SILK WORMS and SQUID JERKY to name two) i can at least get through a day silently satisfied instead of loudly complaining while drowning my sorrows in a pint of korean piss called beer.(michju)

Second, I have been buying video games and clothes. I've come to a realization, I LOVE PLAYING VIDEO GAMES especially RESIDENT EVIL. Not a startling one I'm sure but a realization none the less. Once I beat RE4 my latest purchase, their is only one game barely the title Resident Evil I haven't dominated. (Which is Resident Evil Outbreak File #2, which isn't in english at the store here, DAMN) There is just something about shooting a Zombie in the head with a shotgun and watching the brain matter fly all over the place, that is strangely therapeutic. I was really pissed at work and not liking my life outside of it much more. But when I grab that controller and start crushing a herd of cult members (RE4 is a manic cult instead of a zombie attack which Yes you were right Glenn this is quickly becoming my favourite in the series but it still hasn't overtaken RE2 yet but its getting there.)

Third, I have started to be around people more. Instead of having a night in, I will send some text messages outto find random people to hang with even for a couple of hours. On Friday, went to "Santa Clause" and for giggles I sat down with TRE a buddy from ultimate frisbee and his friends. IT was FREAKIN AWESOME NIGHT. One of my better since coming to Korea, I was charming, energetic and HAPPY. It was mainly because of the people, I was hanging out with. They were pleasant, happy, and didn't appear to have had thier spirit crushed by their heartless employer screwing you over. (Sorry Rage Induced Tangent)

So I'm nowhere close to really enjoying where I am. But I have taken a few steps in the right direction. So hopefully I keep it going. Hockey should help alot. I got my skates sent over from home. So starting tomorrow I'll be back on the Ice, taking out my frustations fromliving korea on KOREANS. I hope my hip can hold out, It should be fine considering, I've been running for 4 months atdisc without any problems.

Closer to karoake happy (smiling at the good time during and after) because scary larry happy is only seen during the injuring of another person. Koreans are surprisingly resilent it must be the fact that they work 14 hr days since they turned 6. However the video game happy is scary larry happy, shooting a cult member in the leg than giving him a suplex crushing his skull on the ground so very sweet.
