hour past midnight, growing on two no place to go nothing to do typhoon raging howling with rain slowly swarming adding it's pain korean soup beside me computer in my face thousand miles from home living in another place held in a nation besieged by it's own name no past no future no chance at fame in a bitter land I dwell one betrayed by memories past creating a smaller version of hell as long as this crisis will last and so for now reality must be untill the world can finally see "There were times in my life when I was going insane tryin to walk through the pain when I lost my grip and I hit the floor yeah I thought I could leave but couldn't get out the door" - Aerosmith "Amazing" |

I'm sending this back up to the top so it can be read by more people. This was very dynamic. |

wow. thanks for all your wonderful comments. I've been busy with work and all, but I try to find the time to share what I can. this place is awesome though. if I wasn't going back to texas after this place, I'd prolly stay here another year. I'm starting to learn hangul (korean), but it's a process that takes time. I miss you all. you people are my family, your words are my courage, your smiles my strength. now if I could find some way to get a lazy job at my next assignment. ummm... I don't think so. LOL it was a blessing to see so many names on this thread. I was counting on at least one, but this many was astounding. perhaps I'll be able to pay it back in some small way. once again, thank you. p.s. - I'm an uncle again btw. |
