He's at it again

So if you hadn't heard by now Kim Jong IL is at it again. Recently Hillary Clinton has let Kim Jong know that she's not taking shit from anyone, including him. If I was him I'd think twice before crossing ole' lary cause we all know she can be a real bitch. On a more serious note I haven't let these recent events deter me from my travels but I will be keeping a close eye out and will be sure to keep everyone updated. In the meantime enjoy this beautiful solo by Mr. Il himself...after all he is just so ronery.

The Original Soul Glo

I should have done this earlier but I need to set one thing straight and give credit where credit is due...contrary to popular belief the URL for my blog isn't an inspirational play on a spiritual presence but a play on one of the most classic commercials of all time. R.I.P Jheri Curl 1982-1991.

Skyping 101

By popular demand I am posting a link to Skype. For those of you new to the 21st Century Skype allows you to contact someone via Internet for free as long as both parties have a Skype account. A webcam will also be needed in order to make Skype work properly. There is a link attached below that should take you to the Skype website and just follow directions from there, if for some reason it doesn't work just do what everyone else does and google the shit.

Daily dose of Americana

Given that yesterday was the fourth of July I thought it was appropriate to write an entry since my time here in the good ole USA is about up. This fourth was unlike any other that I've ever had before. Partly because of my up coming voyage and partly because of the events over the last couple of days. It was everything that is great about this country; the friends, the family, the cookouts, the random people that you meet along the way. It is at these moments that you take a step back and realize what this holiday really represents. Luckily for me I got to get one more taste of Americana before I leave. On a side note I want to give a shout out to my grandparents Mickey & Dixie, this weekend our family got together to celebrate their 50th anniversary. I just want to say that your love for each other is undoubtedly an inspiration to everyone you have touched and I am so glad to have both of you in my life. Love y'all and Happy 50th Anniversary.

Moving to Seoul

This is my first official post and as you can see from the title I am moving to Seoul. I start on August 12th so I have a little more than a month to get everything together. A month doesn't seem like too long when you have to prepare for such an adjustment but I look forward to this new chapter in my life. Since I made up my mind about a week ago, various friends and family have continuously wished me luck but have often asked why I wanted to do such a drastic thing. And to be honest I'm not entirely sure why I'm doing it. Maybe it's just to get away and experience something totally different than anything I've done before, or a great opportunity to explore parts of the world that I may never have another chance to see. Perhaps its just one of those times when you look at yourself in the mirror and you're unsure of who you really are and what the hell is really going on. For me, I like to think of it as some sort of mix of all these and probably more but what I do know is that I am excited and nervous all at the same time for this opportunity that may never come again.
