Th 10:30 Post #13: The one I thought I wouldn't write in time

What up you?!?! This is a pleasant surprise for me cause I had no plans of waking up before 10:30 this morning to write because when I woke up to take my Mom to work I didn't think I'd make it back from her job awake. But here I am woke up at 10 so I can beat the imaginary deadline that I put in my head.

Anyway here is what I came to post about today, Photography. I kind of have a background in photography except for me it's the moving type so really I have none. But I doubt I'm gonna buy a really nice video camera and make short movies especially when they would mostly be of the landscape. So I'll try to save up a couple of paychecks and boom get a decent to nice digital camera while I'm there to take awesome pictures and share with you all.

Happy August!

The 10:30 Post #12

Another week has been knocked off the calender and I'm just that much closer to getting away. It's not like life here sucks but lets be real, I'm probably gonna work some non-spectacular job for the rest of my life when this little segment is over, now I'm not resigned to a dull life after this, I'm gonna try and live an awesome life full of adventure when I get beck but it just doesn't seem likely.

Radio stations are being combined and consolidated all over the country so the opportunities to get in are much, much harder then say 5 to 10 years ago. But I wouldn't trade this opportunity for a million dollars, now for a million dollars a year for the rest of my life sure, but a one time payment of million dollars no way. You know what would be awesome to get a radio job in Korea at an English station because if I learned anything from College it's that I have almost no chance of learning a 3rd language, I'd have to make space in my mind, like a lot of space

The 10:30 Post #11: Friends

I don't really want to leave my friends but I suppose to expand my world it necessary, and not just for me but for everyone. If you don't travel alone once to a strange land whats the point in living. More on this subject later

The 10:30 Post #10: A series of reasons I'd rather not go

Now with these two I'm sure your wondering what's going on. No I'm not particularly miss the hardwood floors, although I did install them with my brother-in-law. But nay these pictures were taken by my nephew last night when he was supposed to be asleep but he wouldn't go down.







He is like a baby ninja when it comes to actually getting a picture of him. Very shifty and not often in one spot for very long and you basically have to grab him and hold him in one spot to get a clear picture of him




This is the best I've got so far but I hope to have some more with more travels on the horizon.(Around the state obviously)

The 10:30 Post #9: Miscellaneous

Today is a day off from work and so I think I'll do some reflecting. I'm ready to leave my job here and take the time off to hang out in Raleigh, High Point and then back here in Charlotte. No offense but when you take a job obviously you don't usually get to choose who you work with so from time to time you can have problems amongst co-workers. We are there people, it only took 4 months for me to hate nearly everyone. So that is that.

I picked out my seats on my three flights to Korea over the past couple of weeks because there was a problem where I could pick one but then wouldn't be able to see the other two plane layouts. But as I said it is done now I'm going to be sitting in row 7 on the little first plane up to D.C.. Then in two big planes 777's I've got seats deep in the Economy class on the very long flight from D.C. to Tokyo, row 38 window seat so that I may look down over the country from sea to shining sea, and what the hell over Canada, Alaska and Russia. I've never been to Alaska so I'll just go ahead and count this flight as a trip to Alaska. I wonder if I'll be allowed to take a couple shots at some moose on the way by.

The 10:30 Post #8: After Korea

I do not know how long I plan on being in Korea right now it's one year and play it by ear. But I do know what I want to do afterwards, I would like to take a trip to France and bike around the south of the country and, this is key, ride up Mont Ventoux and Alpe d'Huez, those two oh so famous mountain top finishes of Le Tour. I know, I know, why am I so fixated with the event it's just some dudes riding bikes around France. But I would say it's much more than just that. Hopefully while in Korea I can do a little cross training of cycling and running. The good thing about this is I already know I'm a better runner than Lance Armstrong was, and he's completed a marathon since this footage.

I tried to post the video but the thing is being stupid so click here it's funny cause it's an athlete SNL not a crappy actor one, why are the athletes always the best. Oh well off to watch the Peyton Manning United Way ad.

I think we are still currently about equal in terms of swimming ability
