How do you enjoy your favorite sport when your half a world away and get no television coverage?
Let me tell you…
The Plan:
I am the David Stern of my classroom.
I have 30 students per class and coincidentally there are 30 teams in the NBA. I entered into a hat the names of every team and [...]

The Horseman of My Apocalypse
In a brief moment of unencumbered energy I have accomplished nearly 3 productive things this afternoon since school ended. None of these things were especially difficult, but with my penchant for doing absolutely nothing, I am impressed with myself. You should be too.
I suppose this is a reaction to the frustrations that have [...]

Snowflakes were never special
Recently I have met someone who has just come to Korea. They seem enamored and entertained by the smallest detail. The same details I was enamored and entertained with when I first got here. I guess this means I’m not special.
It’s kind of like making a joke about someone with the last [...]

I am a piece of paper, ready for origami

Motorcycles can hit you when you walk on sidewalks and they don’t stop for red lights.
It takes 5 minutes for me to sound out what a sign says, and once I do [...]

Self Discovery is SooOoo Three Days Ago
I was looking through old pictures today and she asked me if I ever missed my friends or my home. I said that sometimes I do.
Looking through old pictures doesn’t make me miss home so much as it makes me miss the times those pictures were taken. I wondered recently if I [...]

I only dance when I drink
So the c-walk has been dead/uncool since about 2003 or 2004 depending on who you ask (or maybe it’s just me who thinks this). If you want to know what that dance is, it was this video that taught me how to do it. I spent my entire freshman year of college perfecting [...]

Tracking the Internet Landscape: Follow Up
A little over a week ago I wrote a post that simply wondered how my sites traffic would increase if I created posts with a random assortment of unnecessary tags. Tags are used by search engines to pinpoint what posts might be relevant to the searchers search. When someone comes to my site [...]

Links and Some Random Thoughts…and a video
Been a few days since my last post and the way things are going it will probably be until Wednesday or Thursday before I can get anything substantial up. I was planning on doing some today, but then got caught up in last second lesson planning. Although I will expand up on this [...]
