I'm finally getting the hell out of Asia! Come Tuesday I'll be on a plane for the US. Funny how the whole time zone thing works out. I think according to my plane ticket, I arrive in St. Louis some 2 hours after I fly out of Osan. It's been a crazy three years here. It's funny how the odd little things in another country...

It never ceases to amaze me what women will believe. I sat and watched some thugged out dude promise the moon to some poor girl who just arrived in country and she believed everything he said. Why do girls always fall for the assholes? It makes no sense to me. Are nice guys to boring for them? Do they feel like they have to have...

No, nice guys aren't boring. But "nice" is sometimes synonymous with boring. I have often found this to be the case. "Assholes" tend to be more mysterious, a quality women seem to flaunt after. Finding the right combination of decency and mystique can be quite difficult....
It's not really that my friend smokes in front of me, it's that he smokes MY pot. I could care less if he smoked his own shit at my house. I would actually prefer that, as long as he shares.

I hear you man. One of my pals from work... we usually get along just fine, but I hate going going out with him sometimes, 'cause he really can be ruthless with the ladies. The only thing I can say in his defense is that he promises them nothing, offers only slightly more, and throws some form of a warning form the get-go.
Oh well.
Oh well.
Today was Korean Independence day. The day all Koreans get together to celebrate the Japanese getting kicked out of Korea. While I respect alot of what the Japanese were able to accomplish during this century. I have to shake my finger at the way they treated the Korean people in the old days. But at the same time I think it's time for Korea to...

Hey man, once more--thanks for the warning. I regret not bringing my Greek passport now... 
Somebody questioned my taste in music tonight by insulting Operation Ivy. Boy was that the wrong thing to do. I gave them a verbal lashing that they're not likely soon to forget. In front of a bunch of people who had no idea who OpIv was but felt the need to cheer me on anyway. If there is one thing I love more than Type...

Thanks for the heads up man... that fucking sucks, but I guess they were gonna start some time, right?
Shit. You're right--time for a new scene.

If you live near Anjung-ri come out to Cool Bar at around 9 on Friday. My buddies are playing there. They play mostly covers of older songs but with their own light-punk spin. They're called "Better than Nothing". Stop in and if you see me come say hello.
They're playing Saturday night too.

Anjung-ri it is. That's by Humphries, right?
BTW, you're better off not seeing the show I went to on Saturday. My buddy's band was OK, but I could think of much better things to do than sit through an hour and half of the opening band.

AHHH. You can tell winter is leaving Korea as the smell of shit begins to seep through the air. It's a wonderful feeling to get up before dawn and go for a jog in the soothing smells of Korea.
phoebus:
Oh yeah!
And you're just down the road from me, so I know what you mean.
You guys doing anything Friday? We have one of our Intel guys doing a gig with a band at the Piano Bar in Songtan. Can't guarantee it will be any good if you're not drunk enough to laugh at it, though.

I've been stuck on NHB(No holds barred) fighting lately. I'm fascinated by the concept of it. It amazes me to think of the will and determination it would take to submit yourself to such punishment. Or the desire to go out there and try your best to hurt the other person as much as you can. These guys are amazing athletes that spend hours training...

Yeah, I hear you. I've never been scared to mix it up if the occasion called for it and the person deserved it, but going into a ring to deliberately expose yourself to punishment and potentially hurt someone else seriously weirds me out. I don't know, maybe I'm being hypocritical concerning our line of work. 
mr_peen:
yeah they play that shit on tv all the time here. it still isnt as good as it was in its prime. but it is entertaining. i am stuck watchin shitty wrestlin and late night korean movies hahaha
errrr

I'm on a be nice to people kick. I helped someone out at work today. I see how miserable they are at work all the time so I go out of my way to help and make them feel better. I look around and see a general meanness or just plain selfish attitudes everywhere. It's like everyone is out to help themselves in life. There's...

I'm about to go apeshit. I swear to god if I wouldnt end up in jail I would beat the living hell out of someone superior to me right now. Question my fucking integrity? This thinking calmly crap isn't working. I think the only solution to my problem is a good old fashioned verbal confrontation. Of which I will most definitely lose given my station...

Hope you can contain it, man. No point in letting the garbage I've been seeing around our stomping grounds get to you.
I've gotten to the point where I don't even argue with higher-rankers anymore. I just try to let it wash over me--can't afford to throw everything away on my last two years.
Fuck 'em.

Welcome to SG Mil.
So I had a fairly typical weekend considering where I live. Hung out in some bars, drank too much, watched people act like they were going to fight and not do anything, went home late, smoked(I quit), hung out at a korean bar only to have to leave when stupid GI's showed up smoking pot. You know a regular weekend for anyone.
phoebus:
Going anywhere near Seoul on the 13th?
phoebus:
Too good? That's a laugh!
I'm the red-headed fucking stepchild of the USAF just because I usually work with the Army, on Army posts...
Zap me your DSN at Humphries if you want. We should be done with our inspections by next Friday, and I should be up for a show and a couple of beers.

I guess it's time I updated my journal. All I can think about lately is going back to the States. I get to see a special someone and i'm so incredibly excited. I just have to put up with some b.s. until I get back and then i'm set. It's going to be really weird being around so many americans. Everyone will speak english. You...

When I went home for mid-tour, I felt like I got off the plane at Twilight Zone International.
One of my buddies had to clue me into the fact that I was randomly staring at people and stuff in general everywhere we went.
The crazy thing is that I'm doing a European vacation before I get home, so the insanity factor will be maxed out.

You're actually getting out, right? I've got another 2 months here, then it's bon voyage for me as well... with another year and a half left in my contract.
Well, enjoy the States, grow your hair long, and have fun staying out past 0100.
Yay you're back! and now I get to have you for my own!
muah!
