Hey, y'all ( Read more... )

Here are some photos from my trip to Daejeon. The girl with the shorter, brownish hair is YeonJu, and the girl with the longer, blacker hair is JiYoung. YeonJu lives in Seoul, and we went together to visit JiYoung who lives in DaeJeon (which is about a one hour express train ride away). I had not seen them since August of... 2006? Yeah. About two ( Read more... )

Man. I really don't have much time to keep this thing up to date. So busy. (=)_ ( Read more... )

So, damn. I have been crazy busy. I have very little free time left. I start working at 7:00am and get done around 9:00pm Monday through Friday, and then I work every other Saturday. Although, I will have worked three Saturdays in a row come next Saturday. That was my own choice, though. I wanted to work a little bit more to make up for the time I ( Read more... )

So I was really eased into it. Training was broken up by a weekend and then I had a holiday before my first class, so that was kind of nice. And everybody involved with the ( Read more... )

Well, I went scuba diving on Sunday. I had a great time. My dad and I went on the same trip we did when we got certified: the Copenhagen wreck and the nursery. Two little reefs off of Pompano. I saw a lot of very cool fish. Angel fish, rock fish, parrot fish, trigger fish, little yellow fish swarming a big dome of purple coral, schools of bright ( Read more... )

So, I am getting ready to go to South Korea. And already have a head-start on all the lame Seoul puns. I already bought my ticket. It is going to be a crazy trip. I leave Miami on a Saturday morning (Passover), then go to Dallas, Los Angeles, Taiwan, and then arrive in Korea on Monday evening (my mother's birthday). I think I might actually prefer ( Read more... )

My goodness. I really feel pretty down. I just want to crawl in a hole for a little while. I don't want to update my LJ. I don't want to share anything with the world. I just want to internalize everything and keep it to myself ( Read more... )

I decided to write an opinion piece on what is happening in Florida and how I feel about it. The mainstream media and most of the leading candidates are ignoring the situation, and I feel that as a Floridian I have a responsibility to tell things from the point of view of a person directly impacted by the debacle. It jumps around a bit, is somewhat ( Read more... )
