The Final Countdown

So here it is, my last two weeks in Korea. This place has been both the most exciting and knowledgable time I have had as well as one that really opened my eyes to how some people really can be. Despite the crappy things that have happened while I was here, the good things overpower it. I learned so much about the Korean natives and made some amazing friends and reunited with old ones.

I don't really have much to say right now, I just read a friends blog and decided that I have gone too long without updating this.

Currently I am trying to master creating the "Wah wah wah" dubstep base sound so that I can really get on the ball about composing music again. I think that I really am going to enjoy writing dub a lot more than simple D&B.

Well everyone, expect more to come soon.

FEEL THE ANGER!

So yeah,

I know I haven't posted here in a while. What's that? You didn't notice? Oh well...

I am feeling so fucking frustrated as of lately and  I am constantly finding myself having to think about each thing I want to say to make sure I don't come off as a complete asshole.

I love how I can be constantly blamed for EVERYONE'S mistakes. Its like "HEY LOOK! JOHN WOULD MAKE AN AWESOME VESSEL TO PLACE THE BLAME... GOOOOOOOO!!!!"

Well you know what I think about that? GO FUCK YOURSELF! You fucking assholes place yourselves so much higher than me that you think you are fucking perfect. Well, just so you know, you are so fucking far from that that it is HILARIOUS!

If you are now thinking to yourself "What the fuck did I do?" Take this with a grain of salt and just keep reading. Most of you are fine. But for the few that like to constantly try to get some kind of reaction from me, keep pushing and I am just gonna shut down and disregard everything.

You make it seem like I can talk about whatever I need to, but once I do you get pissed off and defensive. Now you wonder why I never go to you with things. It is because I have actual people in my life who give a shit about me without constantly thinking of themselves. I cherish these people most. You know who you are.

Well this venting has been good. Now for me to get back to the task at hand.

LATER!

AT-AT WALKER AWESOMENESS

This is going to be the strangest and ever so slowly dragging on blog ever.
SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK!
   yep. this is happenin, broken grammar, spelling,  and everything else.
Just writing down random things that make my mind feel at ease. When I close my eyes and type this I feel like I am at another place.

Its rather warm where I am now. Not too warm but not nearly cool enough to not sweat. Okay, siting in a (P)Leather recliner makes you get overly hot. I really just don't mind it though. I just sit here and relax and type nonsense to you crazy people I like to call "The Audience."

Do YOU have what it takes to be a Pokemon master?! lol, I have been playing Pokemon  Fire Red at work recently and it has been amazing. I had no idea that Ubuntu had a gameboy advance emulator. But it does :) and it is called VisualBoyAdvance. That progran can ve used on windows and what not but due to the fact my laptop  doesn't see much action, it plays that emulator so smoothly that it is really really nice.

I can't wait for my birthday! Hill had her birthday dinner at puffins and then we went to the nudaebang(Korean for Karaoke) . Seeing her celebrate her birthday made me more excited for mine!

I also would like to give a shout out to my baby sis, Joy, for she helped me acquire my super nerdy awesome motorized AT-AT WALKER~!!!!

Well I think that is enough rambling, keep it real and don't miss me too bad! :P

I hate Mondays!

So today is the first day back to work and it is a new week. A new year. One year closer to leaving Korea and one year closer to leaving the Army.

I cannot express the ammount of exhaustion that I had yesterday. The new years holiday was one party after the next. My body is literally sore from all the crap  that I had consumed. xP

The first thing I need to really express is that everyone needs to fucking see Tron as soon as possible if they have not done so already. The movie is sooooooooo awesome :3. See it in 3-D if you can!  The colors and sounds and digital effects are so crazy!

Next of all is thanks for everyones rediculous attempts in trying to hook me up on New Years. If I really wanted that now I would have tried so myself. I appreciate the gesture but you guys are crazy. :P

I am so fortunate to have the friends in my life that I do. This hoiliday would have been so lonely without you all. I can't even really express how much it means to me. Helping you all and doing what I can to make your guy's life better has been great. I love the fact that when I reach out for help you all are there to help me along and I am able to return the favor.

I really miss everyone in the states so much. I can't wait until I am home with you all and we can spend some quality time toghether. I just hope that I have long enough tune off of work before I have to go to my nest duty station and finish my last 10 months in the Army.

I cant voice my excitement enough about getting out of the Army. It is like getting out of jail. Each day closer seems like one day closer to living the dream that I have always wanted. Whick is to be free and to have a family and just live my days as a normal shmuck working a normal job and whatnot.

I know this post has just been me rambling really but it has been nice. Everyone needs someone to vent to every once in a while. Ugh, I am so mad that I slept through my alarm and ended up at work late. Not to mention that I have chapped lips and its really hurts.

Well I guess I should be going. That is enough of my useless rambling. I will be back on here soon enough to let you all know what is going down in my life.

Talk to you all again soon. :D

Christmas Break :]

Hey guys!

Sorry for my absence as of lately, haven't really been feeling the creative writing vibe lately. Just been doing the whole PT-work-sleep rotation and what not. As of recently been hanging out Gore and miss Zen. :D

Today is the first day in my Christmas vacation and things are going pretty great. Just relaxing, playing video games.. You know, nerd-ing it up. xP

Just a shout out to all of my family and friends back at home: I love and miss you all. I hope that you have a great holiday!

On a negative note, due to the lack of responses to my contest, I am terminating the contest. Thanks for the lack of participation.

Sorry that this post is really short, I don't really have a lot of time to post on here. Happy holidays and talk to all of you guys later!

Bleh

Grumble.. Grumble..

I haven't been on here in a while and the Katusa's are screaming "Yashmika!!!!!" a lot.

Not much to say. Had a pretty boring week and a pretty crazy yet uneventful weekend.

I don't really want to write in here, but I have a little spout of anger and feel like venting. So here we go:

Well that was exciting. I know no one reads this thing because I still don't have one effing signing off slogan. Hence my lack of motivation to write on here. So shame on you, fellow Web-Surfers for not reading this and if you did, are obviously too bored to actually do something productive with your time. Which means that a free $20 would be right up your alley.

WHATS TEH BEEEF!?

Crumplebottom

Yesterday was one of those cruise control days. You know where no matter what you do, it just doesn't change your course and so you decide to just ride with it. 

Work was great, lately it has been really fun at work. People aren't trying to be assholes, I work out every hour, and I am learning new things daily. After work I went to PT and then came home, showered and hung out with Hill for a wee-bit. She attempted (and failed) to make something out of tin foil tape while I tried running on QWOP. If you haven't tried this then do so, it is so frustrating even though all you have to do is run like 100 meters. Then she got on my WoW and made a Dwarf Paladin named Crumplebottom. =D

Well after she left, I watched a bit of TV and passed out. That was my day. Simple yet good xP

So for my workout today:

Hourly Push-ups and Sit-ups totaling out at 140.

Dirty thirties: Set walk for 10 min mile, run for 8 min and sprint set for 7 min mile. I know that it doesnt seem to fast but it is for me. What you do is 1 minute on each for 30 minutes.

Then I biked for 15 min which put me at approx 6 miles.

My regular Back Extension and Sit up machine routine.

Thats about it for now. See you guys either later today, tomorrow or at latest on monday for my workout for that day.

Boba Fett

So yesterday I had a day off of PT due to this Christmas party that I was supposed to go to. Luckily they wouldn't let SSG Davis' (DD) family buy tickets at the door so we gave our tickets away and ate at the CAC (Community Activity Center) and then we played some pool and darts. DD beat me in pool barely as we both were on the 8 ball, but when it came to darts, I beat him in cricket by over 100 points ^.^

Then after that I went home, got changed and went to EMart (이마트 - Hangul) with Hill (HL) and Henry and I got some silver and green duct tape, Boba Fett's ship Legos, and some green X-mas slippers. Once we got back HL and I hung out and watched Across The Universe, which is the greatest, and she made some paper stars for me and I made my Legos.

Once she left to go to work I downloaded some Add-ons for WoW and played for a bit.

It was a great day! Work was fun, EMart was awesome and Legos are always fun. Later tonight I will be playing the shit out of WoW and some Minecraft after watching The Office and any other TV shows that are out on EZTV.

My Odd Dream Last Night

So I need to write this down before I forget it.

So I had this electric powered vehicle that I could go back in time with and it could go reeeeeally fast too. While I would drive I could change what I saw to be like a map and my view would go 3rd person and zoom above me. well I drove to my house and a friend (I don't know who he was) and I were trying to decide what to eat. For some reason, I poured a bowl of cereal and he wanted some but I ran out of milk so he wanted me to go get some more.

We were driving around and for some reason i couldn't see well and I almost smashed into the back of another car but luckily it turned. My friend was talking crab about my bad driving and then we flew off a cliff cuz he distracted me but it turned out that when I landed it worked out for the best cuz somehow it was the same road but just a one way street.

So we have to drive really far for this milk but when we are going I see this really long road that you turn right on and go down a really long road and I knew I had been on the road before. It was similar to going down back roads to Osan for some strange reason. Well almost all the way down there and people were in the way so I was hitting my horn which sounded like a bird and when we got out the strangeness happened.

We were walking down the road carrying my car because it somehow shrinks to the size of a large pumpkin. As we were walking these giant ostrich things came by and grabbed my car and destroyed it because the horn sounded like birds, or so they said, and that pissed em off. I just didn't wanna be attacked. Haha.

So we were walking down the street and this guy did something and my friend (who somehow changed sexes and was now a woman) was really angry about it and I said maybe he was sick and she strongly disagreed. So I proceeded to back up the weird guy and go into this house. I walked around the corner and saw him there by the back door and over in the corner there was some other guy laying behind a crib.

I proceeded to walk over to the strange man, who was hunched over, and I put my hand on his shoulder and asked if he was okay. He looked up at me and what I saw terrified me. He was so pale that it was almost a grey color and eyes that were so bloodshot they were pink where there should be white and red veins. He had fluid coming from his eyes, nose and mouth. He then tryed to come at me so I pushed him away and attempted to run away. He then bit onto my back where my spine is. I tried to push away with no luck and was eventually picked up off the ground by the zombie-like man as his grip on me with his mouth slowly grew harder and harder. My friend then saw me and screamed in horror as he eventually bit so hard he broke my spine and I fell limp.

I then woke up.

WHAT THE HELL!? THAT DREAM WAS SO MESSED!

Oh yeah, yesterday I only did my hourly 20 push-up/sit-up, we didn't leave the facility until late so instead of today being our rest day, we will do yesterdays workout today.

YOU GUYS ARE SUCKING AT EMAILING ME SIGN-OFF CATCHPHRASES! DON'T YOU WANT A FREE 20 BUCKS?!

Cataclysm >:D

Day 2 - 07 Dec 10

Cataclysm is released today! JUST SAYING! :P

So today was a pretty fun day. I guess I should start off with the fact that I did not go to bed last night. I just stayed up playing WoW and Minecraft. I know, I am super fucking awesome. Then I went to breakfast at 630 with SSG Davis and was almost late to work hahaha! During work, starting at 900, we did 20 push-ups and 20 sit-ups on the hour each hour totaling out at 140. That made time go by pretty fast.

My workout for today contained:

Hourly Sit-up and Push-up-

• 20x7 (140 total each)

No Weight Squats and Calf Raises-

• 15,12,10,8,5 (50 total each)

• 20 x Hanging leg lift (Hold your self on the pull up bar, cross and lift your legs to your chest while tightening your abs.)

After all that I got home and before I got to shower I had to go clean the 4th floor of the barracks. I am fucking sick and tired of being one of the few American soldiers that has to clean every time we have an inspection. Oh well, after all that I tried playing some WoW with DD (SSG Davis) but kept nodding off so I crashed early. Hence this being posted the next morning.

Anyway....

New blog idea / $20 GIFT CARD CONTEST!!!!

From now on I think that I will keep a daily blog going on to talk about my day. This will include what happened at work, follow my PT program, what I do after PT, and maybe some things that I may want to do in the near future.

So without further delay, lets get this going...

DAY 1 - 06 DEC 11

I started my day kinda early. Well really early actually. This weekend I went up to Seoul to visit one of my best friends, Tack Jun. We went out to a Hookah bar called GR8 Hookah with Beetna and then hung back out at his dorm with a few of his buddies and drank. So when I got home at like 1pm on Sunday I was exhausted. I then passed out at 2:30P.M expecting to just take a short nap, but slept till 2:30A.M. When I woke up I ate a Pop-Tart and then tried to go back to sleep with no success. So, I got up, played online for a while, downloaded and updated my Acekard for my NDS and went to sick-call to make an appointment for a meeting with a physician. This is the 3rd time I have tried to make an appointment and even this time had to miss it due to lack of personnel at the tower. 

Work was pretty standard. Played my NDS, helped my trainees, and talked. Mostly the last part. 

Oh, just to make a special message to a DENNIS FRANKLIN. Just because you are bored doesn't mean you have to be obnoxious. If you were anyone else, I may have choked you out and got UCMJ. xD

After work I layed in bed and relaxed until PT. I went to the SuperGym with SSG Davis and today we did:

Stair-master-

• 30 min: 1.85 miles and climed 2445ft.

Back Extension-

• 15 Reps @ 180lbs
• 12 Reps @ 200lbs
• 10 Reps @ 220lbs
• 8 Reps @ 240lbs
• 5 Reps @ 260lbs

Abdominal Machine-

• 15 Reps @ 90lbs
• 12 Reps @ 110lbs
• 10 Reps @ 130lbs
• 8 Reps @ 130lbs
• 5 Reps @ 130lbs

Inclined Sit-ups-

• 10 Reps - LOL, too exhausted after all of that to do more.

This will be how I think my posts will be. That way I can monitor my progress and if any of you out there wanna give me tips or some ideas. 

Thats it for now.

I will be hosting a contest for everyone who reads this. I need a catch phrase to put at the end of my blogs. The winner will receive a 20$ gift card to Amazon-iTunes-Whatever you want! You have until Dec 25!!!!! Email the catch phrase(s) to my email at pelipcahh@gmail.com and please include your name and best method of contact! 

Minecrack

 So I feel like rambling about this game that I recently started playing, Minecraft. Its pretty straight forward, but I will walk you through the experience.

You wake up. Endless trees, sand, grass, dirt, caves, mountains, oceans, lakes, trees and other wilderness.

Your job is to take what this world gives you and make anything you can possibly imagine.

You start by punching the hell out of trees. Destroy as many trees as possible. Once you have punched many trees, punch some more. Once you think you have enough wood, you open your inventory and you use your 2x2 crafting grid and make some logs from the tree trunk pieces. From those logs, craft a crafting workbench, which allows you to now use a 3x3 crafting grid.

From here you make some pickaxes, and gather cobble stone, coal and whatever to make further instruments and other stuff. Once you get done mining, crafting, smelting and what not, you just build, build, build.

I am trying to think of new things that I want to build.

Right now I have built a home, a 1-to-1 scale model of the Tower I work at which took over 7,500 pieces of cobblestone, am currently clearing out an area that is 60x60 and 90 deep to make Evangelion's Geofront. But with just clearing out that area taking so long I get bored and have to make more things. I also made a glass tower with two spiral staircases, one with water and one with lava going down to the base. 

PEOPLE GIVE ME SOME IDEAS! I WILL POST PICTURES!

Well here goes my B-Card. Blog virginity... Get it?

So this is the first time I have written on one of these and I am not quite sure what to say. Do I start rambling about my day? What will happen later on? Further describe myself?

Well I think that I should at least start with why I even decided to start this. No, it was not from a friend or seeing it on another site. I just felt that I needed to voice my thoughts to strangers and get some feedback. Be it positive, negative, humor, or just randomness. I just think I needed a change of pace.

So recently, my life has been somewhat hectic. In the Army, which is fucking horrible by the way! If people decide to join it, think to yourself first: "Would I like to work like fucking crazy, have little to no real freedoms and the ones you do have are fucking limited?" Sound good? Oh yeah. Now you are going: "But John, you are serving your country and doing the world some good!" PFT! The world would be the same if I never even joined and thinking that you really even make a difference is so fucking naive.

Don't get me wrong, in this state of economy, if you can't score a good job to pay for college, after college, or even removing the whole college part completely, the Army is a fiscally secure bet.

Money really does make the world go round I guess.

I joined the Army National Guard back in '05 when I was 17 and now I am almost 23 and have transferred to Active duty and am in South Korea.

This is both the best and worst idea of my entire life. I love Korea, the natives, learning about different societies and just getting to really go out and get fucking lost in a land where they barely know English. If they do know it, 90% of the time they are either too shy to help or you both get confused in some sort of translation gibberish cluster fuck.

Come Dec 8th I start my 19th month in Korea and I don't want to leave. Most of the people in America have all but maintained a strong friendship. I lived in SC immediately prior to coming to Korean and only 1 person from there really even attempts to maintain some fucking sort of communication. Not like it is so fucking hard to go on to Facebook and write on a wall "Hey dude, how is the weather?" I mean come on guys. This shit is not fucking hard.

I would personally like to thank Derek Fowler, Sarah Kirchoff, Dave Williamson, Mike Read, Laurana Harper, my wonderful mother DeAnda Bentley, all my lovely sisters, Masa Dexter, Jess Pelosi, and Kayla Bridge. You are the only people who I can truly say knew me before I left and contact me regularly.  You all have stuck by my side throughout my ENTIRE time in Korea and provided not only comforting words but fun thorough conversations, a source to vent to and just over all showed me how a friend should be. You don't have to but you do anyway. It may not be daily or even weekly, but you make sure to let me know that you are out there and are excitedly awaiting my return. It means more to me than you will realize.

If I forgot anyone, don't worry, I thank you too for your support as well. You all are amazing. But you know who you are if I have to try and chase after you just to keep in touch. That shit fucking sucks. It makes me doubt your feelings of our friendship.

Well I think that this was a pretty good rant.

If anyone out there reads this and feels they wanna hear more, give me some ideas on what to write about as this is still very new and pretty difficult to do. I don't think I have written this much since High School. Hahaha.

PLUR.
