I'm a bit tipsy

As the title supposes, I am a bit tipsy. This is because on this night I decided to go out with all of my English-born co-workers and many of my fellow Korean teachers for a night of Hof, Soju, Chicken, and Nore-Bang! For you who ae not well versed in the Korean lingo that would be Beer, slightly watered-down vodka (the national tonic), Fried chicken (ala b-dubs), and Karaoke. If you know me, you should know that this was my kind of night. My play-lisst included a little Neil Diamond, The Darkness (oh! you don't think think I can pull off I believe in a thing called love, well fuck you cuz I can and I scored 100/100) Oasis, and Van Morrison. But everyone got into it and it wa one hell of a time. I will update you soon on who "everyone" is, but that is for another entry when I am more sober and writing more coherently. As a matter of fact, the only reason I am writing in this thing is one: to get down my very important thinkings and thoughts for posterity's sake, and two: because when I hung up on Bri (Second official blog shout out) her last words to me were to update my freaking blog.
Which brings me to my point. And I know this will be difficult to understand, and even more difficult to believe, but as life would have it, when I moved from the U.S. to South Korea, went from being a 7.5 (I hope I was at least that) at home to a 9.5 here in Korea. I don't know how it happened, but I honestly have women competing for my affection for the first time in my life. Well, discounting the fourth grade anayway. Even the Korean men tell me I am handsome. This is weird. But beyond that, and the complications from two of my co-workers actively seeking me out, life is fantastic since I moved into mt humble apartment. I promise I will write more soon when I am coherent and totally sober. But until then, I hope you all live wonderful lives.

Leaving tired.

Well today is the day! In just 12 hours I will be boarding a 12 hour flight bound for Tokyo to be followed by a mush shorter hop across the sea to Seoul where I will be living and working for the next twelve months. My bags are all packed, finally, and I am ready to get this show on the road. In fact, this show should have been on the road over a week ago, but because of the United States Postal Services’ vendetta against me, I didn’t receive my overnighted work visa overnight and thus my itinerary was pushed back by eight days. I know this entry is short but it is to the point (the point being that I am leaving today and I am too tired to update on much else in my life). So goodnight and good luck. The next time I write it will be from Korea. I promise, for real this time.
