2. I am going to get married to my Korean girlfriend in December and need to find a way to get a lot of money.
3. I am officially 25 years old in September but my age is 27 to my girlfriends family and 26 to all of Korea. Sometimes I don’t understand why they count your first day of your life as 1 year old.
4. I am trying to write a book and hope to be a published author someday.
5. I ate Chicken intestine called Dak dong Jib=chicken shit house is the literal translation. I did this with my student and she and I had 5 pitchers of beer. I was a little sick but managed to do well. I will teach them tomorrow so I hope that they say I am still ok.
6. my students are taking me out to eat or drink or both. I love them, not because of this but because they actually talk to me. All the Korean Women teachers like me a lot^^
7. I am currently planning on staying here for 3 years because of my gf, economy, job, and future outlooks. I can’t work this type of job back home unfortunately.
8. I am living in a studio with free internet because its wireless but slow, there is no tv, and nothing good in my house.
9. My gf wants me to BUY a house. Stressed out
10. I miss Missoula and everything that is there. Food For Thought, oval walking, Mount Sentinel, and all the good things that happened to me in my 4 year tenure.
11. I was once a runner and used to be able to run fairly decently.
12. I almost died when I was born. So I had CPR performed on me and not many people I know can say that. I actually don’t talk about it much.
13. I really want to find a way to rid the world of Prejudice.
14. I miss Depot nights with my 3 best friends
15. I met my girlfriends father and he said I was brave for entering his house. I am confident but still in shock for meeting my in-laws. Its just a little intimidating. I didn’t give him a heart attack yet.
16. I love her family so much. She has great brother, a sister, and wonderful niece and nephew. I played with her nephew so much.
17. I want to become boss, and a professor here at YBM or at the University systems in Busan and or in Seoul. I want this in 3 years.
18. Im living in Fast Forward and excited for future possibilities. I just hope that I am not restricted to just Korea.

21. I like all music especially Reggae, Rock and Classic (old hits)
22. I am now talking and using the expression “your generation” when addressing younger folks.
23. I am the youngest person in the school I think. My students are mostly older than me but I know English . but I feel old.
24. I am a blogger, mad emailer, and worry a lot.
25. I want to hear from anyone but I think everyone is too busy now. I like this 25 random posting.  



TODAY OCTOBER 18th, 2010

1. I am living in Gwangan Busan in South Korea working as an English Teacher

6. I am happy to say that I have a friend on every continent. I have met someone from Ghana Africa, many places in Europe like France, Spain, England, Germany, Sweden and Norway many people from Korea, Japan, China, and Taiwan. 
7. I have worked and lived abroad since June of 2007 and only went back home for 4 months August-December of 2008 and a 3 week break in January 2010. I am looking forward to going back home.
8. I have taught all age groups in Korea including 4year old elementary middle high school, university and company workers. 
9. I love National Geographic and would do anything to get a job with them and save me from the bullshit of teaching.  I don't enjoy teaching it hasn't been rewarding for me. Sadly enough. 
10. I love Blogging, meeting new people and I am very committed to making relationships work out. The only thing I like about Korean manners is saving face.


11. I have an interest in Photography, writing, and am hoping to write a book still.


12. The Mybi Transportation card is the greatest debit card ever in Korea. 
13. I like Happy Point as well. This allow me to save points when buying Coffee at Dunkin Donuts. 


14. While I fight with my wife all too frequently I love her very much. She makes me a better person and we are good for each other. WE have been married for 324 days, dated since 1214 days ago and are enjoying our time together 

15. We met at my first Academy. YALE Academy in Gumi, Korea. She was my first true girlfriend since no girl liked me in college. All the women I met here are shocked by this and frankly so am I. I am  handsome enough not necessarily the model playboy sort but something I would have thought wouldn't be passed by. 


16.  PIFF Pusan International Film Festival is one of my favorite Events here. 
17. Gwangan Beach is where I live now, Nampo-dong is where I work at YBM now usually only on Saturdays, and I work at Kyungsung University area at MLS 2 hours a week teaching middle school students. I need more work actually, but I would rather return back to school. PNU is one of my favorite areas as well.


18.  Brett Farve and the Vikings are my favorite Sports TEAM. I always liked Brett even though he played for GB. I learned over here that you shouldn't hate someone simply because they are better than you or may even burn you especially when you will never meet them.


19. I always listen when people are talking to me and can give good advice. I love helping people solve problems from A-Z. 


20. I like traveling because I wanted to learn more about myself. 


21. I have 2 best friends from my Kindergarden days! CALEB and James I have 3 best friends from high school that were all football players and probably hated me because I was a skinny cross country runner in high school. We all would go to the Depot a lot and drink during college. I miss those times and I could honestly say those were the best times of my life. I picked fights with them for fun. The slap wars, the insult festivals, the hooligan raids remember the firecracker night Peter? The drunk brew haha's.... debaucheries I desperately want to get back to just have a reunion at least once.


22. My ultimate dream is to fix the problems going on in my family, buy the cabin back which was started by my great grandfather and follow some traditions that the old Palmer family followed. Maybe a bit of a pipe dream


23. I used to Run Cross country and was fairly good at it. I regret quitting and I at times regret coming to Korea. Simply put, I don't like the lifestyle, the blatant hostility, prejudices, etc. I was raised to respect people not judge them. 


24. I like watching M*A*S*H, Law and ORDER SVU and now my favorite show of possibly all time is 2 and a half men. 




25. while I don't write people much any more or feel like I do enough I do love you all. Friend or Foe a like.




I hope you like this post I am going to start a new blog in the near future... Any title ideas any other suggestions? I hope you like this one.... Time for some sack time.
