Renaissance Man

Well, I know I haven't written anything on here in a long time... but I've meant to! Doesn't that count for something? I've honestly planned on writing something for awhile, but I just kept forgetting. Then, the other day I tried logging in and discovered that I had forgotten my password - obviously now I've remembered.

So, for my "return" I've decided to tell you that I have a new title "Renaissance Man"! I've had some odd things happen in my life of late (maybe why I haven't posted), and it's about time I told ya.

Work:

I have been continuing my free-lance work. The hours are fine and the demand is high. I'm trying to scult them a little so that I'm able to spend a little more time at home. Like most people realize at different points, it's all about the quality of life that matters.

Books:

I haven't been reading all that many books of late. In the last while I finished Freakonomics (quite good), Digital Characters (average), Canadian History (for dummies), and Korea Witness (not too bad).

Movies:

Snakes on a plane!! - it is what it is, a B movie.
X-Men 3 - Loved it.
Superman returns - not too bad.
Clerks 2 - like the Kevin Smith stuff.
My Super Ex-Girlfriend - I like superheroes and all... but not this.

Superheroes:

Lot's of movies out there but also some interesting comic books. Apparently Civil War is on, I'm trying to catch up on the Marvel stuff. Also, the Justice League had a kind of cool cartoon series that I downloaded. As well, as always, you can ckeck out my stuff here. http://juggertha.deviantart.com/

Wedding:

My buddies Aaron and Na Young got married last month... and I was the... presenter/minister/officiator. http://idiotscollective.blogspot.com/2006/07/seoul-nuptuals.html

Politics:

I'm hessitant to post up too much on this one, but I'm growing in my involvement with LiNK. http://www.linkglobal.org/ Last week I met Kang Chol Hwan of Aquariums of Pyongyang, the director of Yodok Story, the manager of Radio Free North Korea, and US Congressman Dana Rohrabacher.

Movies (again):

I was in a movie last month (post below this one) and the other night I got a call to be an extra in another. This one had no lines, but I got to hang out with some friends, meet some cool people, and make a bit of cash.

My wife was quite happy with one thing though, I met Daniel Henney. For those who might not know, he is the "Korean Brad Pit" and is adored by all here. I must say, that after meeting him and talking with him a bit, he's a cool enough guy. Just your average joe that made it big. And yes, for any of you Korean girls that are reading... he's a decent looking guy in person too. ;)
