You Can Never Go Home Again

“They say you can never go home again.” I was thinking about that quote a couple of weekends ago (I know, I should’ve been blogging since then). I was homesick. It took a couple of weeks, but I felt it. Really, I just didn’t have anything to do. I was … Continue reading →

My First Week In South Korea

It’s been a few days since I last blogged, I know. I’m finally settled into my apartment in Sunae. That’s after spending a week in what my coworkers call the “love motel.” I think that has something to do with the motel-provided condoms and the pay-by-the-hour rates. I’ve enjoyed the … Continue reading →

Hours Away

This will be my last post while living in America—at least this year. In just a few short hours, I’ll board a plane in Birmingham, Ala., land in Dallas, then fly 14 hours straight to South Korea. I haven’t had any anxiety attacks or anything of the sort yet, although … Continue reading →

Seoul-Bound

So, I’m a little behind on blogging. Almost three months behind to be a bit more exact. I’m not exactly sure where to start, but I’ll come out with the big news first. I’m going to Seoul, South Korea to teach English for a year. Yes, pretty big news. I … Continue reading →

I, Robot

Favorite 7 Songs

I actually found it quite hard to narrow this list down to seven songs. Just when I think I’m through, I remember another song I want on this list. I’ve made up my mind though. Almost every song on here is a song I can sit back and relax to. … Continue reading →

Post-Graduation Week

I graduated last week — Thursday, May 10. It was one of the most boring experiences of my life. I don’t even remember half the ceremony. I may have fell asleep a few times. I happened not to sleep the night before. I was just so wired. But, when that … Continue reading →

The God Delusion

I originally picked up Richard Dawkins’ book because it has gained quite a bit of popularity, which comes mostly from athiest circles. It seemed interesting enough though. Before I go on with a review, I must give a little bit of my religious background. I grew up in a protestant … Continue reading →

The World Is Flat

I started reading Thomas L. Friedman’s book sometime in late December or early January. It was a bit of a long book. Well, I read a lot of other things since then and now. But, I’m finally finished and am astounded. The book has opened my eyes to the situation … Continue reading →
