Retards, whores, girls, and I!

I’ve come to the realization that I have nothing interesting to say anymore.

However, that will certainly not keep me from talking….it never has.

Actually I have plenty of interesting things to say, just none of them are remembered at the end of seemingly endless tiring days.

So, here I am going to give you a fairly boring update on my life.

Part 1: I’m dumber than a bus load of retards trying to solve a rubix cube.

So two days a week I have to take the subway a little over an hour for my job. It’s one line, no transfers–so usually I edge out a running adjumma for an open seat, shut my eyes, and goto sleep.

Well about two weeks ago, my cellphone alarm went off. I got up sleepily, and left the train. —leaving my $1100 laptop behind.

I guess Seoul crimelessness doesn’t extend to the “finders keepers loosers weepers” rule.

So for the past two weeks I’ve been borrowing my friend’s netbook with Linux.

Let me tell you. Linux sucks. I have neither the initiative nor the time to understand Linux…and my current configuration blows chunks of monkey poop all over the golden computer superhighway.

Next week I’ll buy a netbook of my own. I’m pissed that I lost my other one, but at least I won’t have to carry around a beast of a computer anymore.

Part 2: I’m a learning whore now. Deal with it.

Sometimes in life addictions can sneak up on you without you even knowing.

Mayonaise

Movies

Meth

…you know, the usual.

But my new addition came last week, and it’s called the library.

In Korea the public libraries are hard-freaking-core. After taking the tour, the reason for  Korean intelligence shines through like my legs on a dark night.

They give a shit. This is a public library. a PUBLIC library. It’s not full of social rejects trying to get their free internet fix. Nor is it really about books.

This is a studying powerhouse. Hundreds of people in studying cubicles supercharging their brains on knowledge.

In the basement is even a cafeteria to that you can grab some Korean grub and return to your studies.

So, I’ve been drinking less on the weekends just so I can go to the library and study the shit out of Korean.

I will bitch-slap this language faster than a turtle can climb a mountain…as in it’s still pretty damn slow, but it’s faster than a snail.

Part 3: Spring is here and I want a girl.

There’s really no good reason for me not having a girlfriend. Honestly there’s not.

Every fat ugly mentally and socially retarded white guy here seems to have one.

And…I don’t mean to brag…but I’m not mentally retarded!

The truth is that I’ve been to busy, and too shy, and too picky.

At least one of those is going to change soon…I can feel it.

I just hope it’s not the picky one.

Actually I think I just need to rethink my plan. I was kinda holding out for a girlfriend…you know…the time that likes you, and you like them, and you kinda like the same things, and you feel happy when you’re together…that type.

But I’m thinking about going more towards that “mutually using each other” aspect.

I’m not talking about sex.

But I AM talking about language practice, status, and those lonely times.

Why the hell not? right?

I mean clearly what I really want is a real girlfriend…I think…I mean I REALLY like being single right now…but it’s spring. And I feel it in the air.

I think I’ll hope for a real girlfriend, but also be willing to take the other kind too.

Part 4: What the fuck am I going to do next year?

The problem with being a good teacher is that people want you.

(Although in Korea I think you could replace “being a good teacher” with “being white and breathing”)

But…I am a damn good teacher. I’m not bragging…it’s just a fact. I give a shit and I’m good at it.

So, I’m trying to get out of the situation I’m in now…but I like the kids and the staff I work with.

But come August for sure, I’ll be looking other ways.

Public school seems to be calling my name for the time being.

But I also got another job offer yesterday where I would like in New York 8 months out of the year and in Korea 4 months out of the year.

The job is amazing. The offer is amazing. It’s being offered by the most honest and trustworthy person I know in Korea. I wouldn’t have to even think about money.

But…I don’t want to leave Korea, and I don’t want to live in upstate New York. I mean it’s all about adventure. And I’m all about that. But, wow, I’m not finished with this adventure yet.

I have friends here. I want a girlfriend here. I love the culture here. I love….almost everything about this place…and honestly the thought of leaving this and moving back to America scares the shit out of me.

I don’t know what I’m going to do. I guess I could always do it for a year, and then come back. I don’t know. I have a little time to decide…but not much.

Well folks, I have to take a Korean test then goto sleep. I start a new Korean class tomorrow and I don’t want to be tired!
