Are you teaching TTWFO?
« on: April 16, 2022, 05:36:55 am »
I think I may.

I never used to think so.

(But this is my 20th year here, am satisfied and joyful daily, and my birthday is coming soon, on the day after my contract ends and am scheduled to re-sign next week.)

One of Nietzsche's descriptions of the notion of eternal recurrence: how well disposed do you have to be to your life to cry with joy at the thought of it continuing as is endlessly? As, many would be crippled by the thought.


What are you up to?

Help others, especially animals. Say what you think, be considerate of others. Appreciate more than deprecate. Teach well, jump on teachable moments. Enjoy Korea as it is, without changing it. Dwell! Yet, at times, change your life for the better. "The most important [thing] is to have a good day."

Easter long weekend here. The shops have just opened again after closing for Good Friday. I'll probably head over to the local hardware supplies store for some potting mix to get to work on our raised herb garden, after a workout and will consider heading out to an AFL game this evening. After some consideration I'll probably just watch it on the tele though.

Huh?

That can't be Canada, America or Korea... England? ("Tele" is such a British way of saying TV). No wait, AFL might mean Australian Football League though I ain't sure whether it's soccer, rugby or some other variant.

Are you teaching? Are you on vacation? Wazzup?

I haven't taught on an Easter long weekend since I left Korea a while back.

Congrats? You da man!

Do you live alone? How much time do you spend alone?

Even that irredeemably 95-99 IQer lolgook77 seems to take some kind of boring pride in going outside on a weekend to such an extent that he felt it necessary to mention it twice apropos of nothing along with him getting poked with some vitamin D. Maybe take a leaf out of his book. It's a low quality book I grant thee, but for you it might be an improvement (I know I know, sounds ridiculous lolgook77 being an improvement on anything, but please keep an open mind).
oo oo ahh ahh
