Highlights of my Day... Wednesday, October 29

1. I know full well that what I am about to tell you will make you shake your hand and call me immature… I know. Trust me, I think the same thing right now. So, what am I talking about, you ask, well… I got into quite the verbal fight today in the morning, while walking Mi Nam. Mi Nam ran ahead of me and well, it was really early so I let the leash go to it’s fullest length. Next thing I knew it, some old man in a car was speeding towards me. I called out for Mi Nam to return to me but his leash got caught on the bottom of the fence that edged the street and so I couldn’t re-track the leash. I didn’t know what to do and Mi Nam, well, he just sat there, about 5 feet in front of me. I yelled out but the old man didn’t stop and so as his car was about to hit Mi Nam, I kicked it. I kicked his front tire and he came to a sudden stop. He rolled down his window and yelled out some pretty colourful Korean words. I was ticked but it was way too early to fight with some old man who’s probably more of a wangtta than me.

2. As I turned the corner and stopped to wait for Mi Nam to do his “business”, the old man parked his car and got out to yell at me. I take it thought I was standing there because of him but I wasn’t. I was standing there cause my dog had to poop. I ended up yelling back at the old man and asking him how he got his driving license.. that’s when his words really got colourful and some neighbouring people stepped out of their houses to watch us.

3. I had promised myself to never let some idiot bring me down to their level but one push to my shoulder and one too many nasty names had pushed me over the limit. And so, what I did next, I am not proud of but I did it… I waited for him to walk away and then I took Mi Nam’s poop bag, opened up his car door, and then placed it on the front seat.

4. No sooner had I arrived back home but then I totally regretting doing what I had did. I knew it was wrong but this wasn’t the first run-in I’ve had with this old crusty man. Mind ya, I’m well aware of the fact that this is definitely a new start to something. I thought about going back and taking the poop bag out. I even went so far as to change my clothes, put on a hoodie and baseball cap, but I stopped myself. After all, wouldn’t me running up to his car and stealing the poop bag only make me look like I was really stealing something, like money or whatnot?! I didn’t want to risk it and so I’ll have to face the music next time I see him… I know… oh gosh.

5. Listening to this ghetto radio is killing me… seriously. In the morning when I was getting ready for work, I thought I had scored when I stumbled across an English channel. Turns out it was some English lesson of the day on some local station. Oh gosh… have I become that desperate for English music that I’m willing to listen to two Koreans teaching English by means of dissecting and ripping apart an old English pop song?!

6. Note to self: get my computer fixed ASAP before I end up going “local”.

7. Am in love with my nursing students… they’re just so awesome and I’m convinced that the answer to world peace would be to bottle up their awesomeness and energy, and spray the rest of the population with it… hehehe. Seriously though, that class is just so much fun to teach. Today I broke out into an impression of the song “Grease Lightening” from the movie Grease when doing attendance. One of the girls picked the name Olivia and so I blurted out, “Oh… Olivia, not Olive… like Olivia Newton John” and that’s when I spontaneously broke out into some funky dance moves and sang. Mind ya, only one student knew the movie Grease and so the others had no idea what I was singing but trust me, the others, despite not understanding my joke, laughed super hard… I was the big joke apparently… hehehe.

8. Yesterday Milk Dud’s grandmother died. Milk Dud headed off to Busan while Junior Mint took a collection of money from everyone for the funeral. So yesterday everyone was dishing out money but today, when I arrived at boxing, it was quite the opposite sight. Junior Mint was handing money to everyone… hmmm.

9. Apparently, Milk Dud’s grandmother had been declared dead and eight hours later her pulse came back… freaky!!! Yup.. that’s what happened. And guess where this all went down… at the funeral building!!! Rumour has it they were getting ready to cremate her when they noticed her neck moving… it was her pulse!!! Now if that doesn’t freak you out then I don’t know what does!!!

10. Those little two brats I had the bad first meeting with about two Saturdays ago continue to bother me at boxing. I don’t know whether it’s because they know I don’t really care for them or if they’re just naturally noisy little ankle bitters, but I don’t care for kids and I definitely don’t care for kids who stand around in my way while I try to train. Q and Junior Mint had a good laugh tonight while they watched those girls repeatedly try to talk to me. Sorry but I go to the boxing club to train… crazy idea, I know, but that’s my story.

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
What stupid thing have you done lately?
