This has been the latest post on Seouliva for the last several days. Why have a blog and ignore it…, makes people like me upset when they plan on reading it. In this case however I have looked at this several times now and laugh each and every time.

This guy was caught trying to buy paint. They suspected he was huffing it…, can’t figure out what gave him away. The original source

Today was a very long day…, watching TV. We did however spend 2 hours in the motorpool and discovered a new yet more efficient method of transportation than HMMWV. Following these steps and you too can out-run a military convoy.


Step one: Find a broken-ass office chair. We found ours in the dumpster.


Step two: Lay down on the chair, positioning your weight just right so you are perfectly balanced, and then hold firmly onto the chair. Have someone hold your ankles and get a good stance.


Step three: Have the person holding your ankles spin you around until a significant amount of speed is built up.


Step four: Release


Step five: Pray

As you can see this subject has moved farther than any HWWMV in our possession is capable of. This method is recommended for smooth surfaces only. For all-terrain transportation stay tuned for fuel can sledding.
Here is the video

Every morning I have a list of blogs and news papers that I read. It’s kind of how I start off my day. I have everything setup so I click two buttons (one for blogs, and the other for news) and everything loads automatically. I have been doing this for about six months now. Basically, since I switched to using XOOPS as my content manager. (If you have read ALL of my blog, you would know that my database crashed a couple months ago). I have weeded out some of the more boring or less posted to blogs, however seeing this one blog I hear about in all the other blogs, giving him credit saying “he did it again” or “you have to read this” I haven’t removed him from the list. Everyone loves him; I just read him every morning and scratch my head wondering “Why do I read this guy every morning? He is confusing, unorthodox and writes poetry that sounds like a Nirvana song.” Still half asleep and seeing most of the blogs I read last night have no new posts I go through his blog, and only his blog. So what left to post on my own blog? I Blog about him.

Apparently word travels faster than one would think. He read my blog. He copied the entire thing and critiqued it and then compared my knowledge of his blog to a clone that has never met a woman before, accidentally walking in on one take a shit, wet farts included. I actually thought it was quite funny. He left a friendly enough comment even though I spelt his name wrong, and gave me an example of how others (on a negative side) misspelled it. I feel kind of bad almost. Except the way he reacted seems more confusing than anything. He seems somewhere in between finding it funny and pissed off. So how do I retaliate to that? For starters I am going to use my spell checker.

If you haven’t checked out his blog yet, here are some of his graphics that he has all over his website to give you an idea on his personality. I would recommend you visit his blog and see for yourself because I am still confused on how to describe him.

The Escapist - Gamer Nation

Envision an alternate reality we might call “Gamer America.”

In Gamer America, every home and office has 20MB/s broadband that’s cheaper than milk. Everywhere that real America has a Starbucks or a fast food restaurant, Gamer America instead has LAN hangouts where, for a buck an hour, you can play online 24/7 with all your friends and socialize with the opposite sex. The coolest kids in Gamer America high school go out for the StarCraft team. Gamer America’s

Commerce Department heavily funds a Domestic Gaming Agency to promote games to your mom and your grandma and the world. And there’s a Gamer America network TV channel (not cable, network) broadcasting online game tournaments round the clock. No, wait, there are two channels.

Sounds like an EverQuest fever dream? A console fan’s Robitussin high? Okay, Gamer America doesn’t exist - in America. But it lives for real - right now! today! - in the Republic of Korea (RoK).

I told you it was hot here. To transalate those tempatures for you:

25.2°C=77.4°F
25.7°C=78.3°F
24.1°C=75.4°F
31.8°C=89.2°F

Inside my house where it was a full one or two degrees cooler, it was 33°C(91.4°F) on average. As the article says though it will continue through early August. So only a couple more weeks isn’t worth buying an A/C when I should be moving into a different apartment that isn’t rated for GI’s.

The Korea Times : Morning Low Rises to 8-Year High in Seoul
Seoul residents have suffered from hot and humid nights since the summer rainy season ended on July 18, with the average morning temperature over the past seven days hitting an eight-year high.

The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) said on Tuesday that the average morning low July 19-26 in the capital was 25.2 C, the highest since 1997, when it reached 25.7 C….

…Kim predicted the hot and humid nights to continue through early August.

Beer that has “formaldehyde” in it? I am not much of a beer drinker but does beer normally have things in it like “formaldehyde”? Cause that doesn’t intrest me in the least. I almost think that is kinda fucked up. To some though beer is beer. Or more like alcohol is alcohol. If I see this anywhere I might try it but I will sit and debate it for a while if I do try it.

China CRIENGLISH
The South Korean Food and Drug Administration has announced that Chinese-made beer is safe after a sample investigation.

The watchdog said Tuesday that the Chinese beer tested contained formaldehyde at an average of 0.132 milligrams per litre, less than 0.9 milligrams per litre, the danger line set by the World Health Organization.

The administration carried out an emergent sample investigation on Chinese beer since it had been reported that Chinese manufacturers added formaldehyde to their products during the brewing process.

Thirteen Chinese brands were involved in the investigation.

China’s beer output nears 30 million tons a year, ranking first in the world over the past three years.

There is a chain of blogs on the internet where everyone links to each other and all talk about the news. Its kinda like a webring which use to popular back in the day when the web was still young. Now we just link to each other on our own without signing up to some website and trying to get others to join. We talk about each other like old friends, and yet we have never met. I am barely now getting involved, have only had a couple linkbacks.

There are a couple blogs I keep scratching my head about. one is BigHominid. I think he is in Korea or some other part of Asia its hard to tell. His blog is complete gibberish and odd poems I think he wrote himself along with pictures he has drawn. Others point and laugh at what he wrote…, some are shocked that he said it.

I, myself, want to know what the fuck is he talking about, and how does this have anything to do with Korea or any tangable subject? Twisted and perverse, lost and confused…, what the fuck?

EDIT: Accidently spelt it BigHomid, changed to BigHominid. Sorry about that BigHominid.

Been trying to get married lately but with work and everything its been kida hard to get away to do it. I thought we were married on the 15th cause I had the marriage certificate but apparently it wasn’t official until I got like 30 stamps on it, which I was told I had to get one more but didn’t quite understand what they wanted. Now I found out that it was to make everything official. It gets kinda confusing on what they are saying when talking in broken english.

Now I have a date on my marriage certificate along with all the stamps I need. So I as of today I can actually say “I’m Married”!!!!!!!!!!!!!
