After staring at The Road as it sat my desk for a few weeks, I finally felt brave enough to pick it up. Everyone warned me that it was a story that would tear me apart. They were right- there are no words to describe it… What I can say is that I started it up yesterday afternoon and finished it today. It was captivating. If anyone’s seen the movie let me know your thoughts. I don’t know whether or not I should see it.

I just got around to uploading video from my winter vacation in Boracay. Here is a clip of a cock fight we went to while on the island. I know it will probably offend or upset alot of people- so if you have a weak stomach…its probably best to skip it… The others are all much more pleasant. I promise!

Month 6 Update
Happy Anniversary to me! A few days ago I hit my sixth month mark in Korea. I used to try and imagine what it would feel like- living in Seoul six months, being halfway through my contract, and halfway until I return home. It wasnt as monumentus as I expected. Life in Seoul has been crazy lately, its probably why I havent posted in sometime. With my semester ending my life has been consumed with goodbyes to friends who are leaving, welcoming the new crew, and a bunch of new little kiddies who speak barely any English.
These last few weeks have flown by, and I’ve been having a great time- probably too great of a time. So now I’m taking a break and trying to refocus. Too bad I can’t pull myself away from watching LOST as often as possible.
Life in Korea just seems normal now. I’m used to not understanding signs, looking different, and not really fitting in. All of it seems comfortable at this point. I have also realized that if I could leave Korea at this very moment I wouldn’t want to. I still have so much to explore and am just having too good of a time. So I guess that means I’m happy where I am. That doesn’t mean that I don’t think about the US and the future all of the time. I am constantly wondering where I will live and what I will do when this second half is over with.
In other news- I went hiking for the first time yesterday, and we got some pretty decent photos. I will be sure to post them soon!

Natural? What is natural? What is that? I do not believe in totally natural for women. For me, natural has something to do with vegetables.

I don’t want you to be the guy in the PG-13 movie everyone’s *really* hoping makes it happen. I want you to be like the guy in the rated R movie, you know, the guy you’re not sure whether or not you like yet. You’re not sure where he’s coming from. Okay? You’re a bad man. You’re a bad man, Mikey. You’re a bad man, bad man.
