After I say this: I really meant to be consistent with blogging in Korea, but after spending most of my days in the office in front of a computer screen, I was never in the mood to touch my laptop after work, or the weekends. Plus, my laptop didn't have access to the internet while I was there anyway. So there. That is my justification for never writing here.
Also--I read my previous entry and couldn't help but notice how EMO I sounded. You all probably got a very wrong idea of my time in Korea. Korea was a hell of a time. I literally felt like I was in the furnace of hell, with all that heat and humidity. Aside from the heat of death, I loved every moment, every person, every experience I had while I was there. Thanks to Korea, I feel so much more relaxed about life, which is a little ironic because I spent most of my time working/researching/thinking about the dire, grave issue of North Korea. I feel more comfortable meeting people, talking to people, and just being with people. It's nice. I'm kind of almost sort of a people person now. thanks!
Korea--I will miss speaking your beautiful, fun-filled, humorous yet serious language. I will miss eating icecream every night. I will miss riding your flawless transportation system. I will miss your bustling, careless ways. I will miss the subtle bluntness in every social interaction I had.
So I noticed many of you are blogging. I didn't realize this until this morning when I was teaching my sister the wonders of Gmail. I was amazed to see how some of you actually blog more than once a month. I think I might consider this blogging thing more seriously.
This consideration made me start thinking about what the purpose of blogging is. Is it just to tell people, "This is what my life looks like."
If that is the case, this is what my life looks like now, folks: I'm dragging through life in Canada, not understanding how I could possibly have lived to diligently in Korea---waking up at 8am, eating breakfast, watching the news, getting to work by 9:30am, staying busy till 6pm, going out to dinner with friends at night, coming home at 12am, taking a shower, and going to bed to start all over again. How?? In Canada, time seems to be inconsistent, sometimes its slow, other times, it goes by like lightening. My sleeping schedule is wack. My clothes don't have a home. I don't have a bed. I don't have a place to mark my presence. It's dull. I'm bored out of my mind. I need to get summer reading done. The only humorous thing that happened to me was when basically all the kids at my church tried to get me to be interested in a guy that is a little too old for me. It's nearly 3pm and I haven't washed my face or brushed my teeth.
After reading this small glimpse of what my life looks like right now, you probably don't want to continue following this blog. I know most people like to jot down some thoughts their having in their blogs. But I'm not too interested in doing that either. I mean, I'll do it occasionally, but I don't trust the internet enough to pour my mind's thoughts into it. Plus, my thoughts are more like formless clay spinning on a cold stainless steel plate.
So help me out. Help me get this blog thing get re-jump started. What do YOU want me to write about? An inquiring mind wants to know.
Write a post about what you did today. Then a post about what you did this past week. Then this past month. Then year.
