Reunited with the facts...

I spent the last week with my family. The Healey family had a reunion and because my paternal grandmother was a Healey, all of the Ball family was in attendance. My body is not designed to drink seven nights in a row, but thankfully I was 3.5 hours back (Alberta Time) so I managed to be the last family member to leave the bar just about every night. By the end of it I just couldn't get drunk and last night I was actually craving a beer, but I didn't let myself have one. Instead, I caught up with some old friends.

Today, I found out where I'll be teaching in Seoul, but I still don't know exactly where I'll be living. The school is called Namcheon Elementary School and it's located at 53 Macheon-Dong, Songpa-gu. The "gu" is my city district and the "dong" is the neighborhood within the district. If anyone knows anything about this place lemme know. All I've been able find out came from Wikipedia and it says Songpa-gu is a fancy, ritzy part of town and it is home to the world's largest indoor amusement park, called Lotte World.


I recently learned how Wikipedia works from my good friend Stephen Colbert. The general public can put anything they want on this "encyclopedia" and if enough people agree, it gets a place on the site. So really it’s the encyclopedia of public opinion where facts can be overruled by popular opinion. Stephen's currently on a mission to triple the population of elephants in Africa by simply saying that this is happening. The scientists say their numbers are greatly declining, but if Mr. Colbert can get enough people to agree that their population has actually tripled, he will have done a great duty to Africa and its elephants.

He calls this "Wikiality" and that seems much better than what scientists refer to as "Reality." Scientists are such a bore.

In an earlier post, I referenced a few pages from Wikipedia and now that I know exactly how it works, I'm relieved that I didn't take information from some site with wack facts. I used the truth.

And last but not least, I'm gonna post a link to my other blog at Myspace. I strictly plan on talking about music here and giving vague reviews of some of my favorite music that most people have probably never heard of.

Also, when I get to Korea I'm gonna start a PG-13 blog about my travels and experiences in Asia. I'm gonna give this link to my parents, grandparents, previous co-workers, etc. so I'm gonna keep it clean. I dunno what'll happen to this site once I begin the new one.

I'll probably just keep this blog for stories about the multitude of prostitutes I'm gonna be spending my nights with. And whatever other weird shit I do that I don't wanna share with my Nan and Pop.
