Changing the Address
My blog has a new address. All you got to do is click on this link.
Some of you retards and fuckheads will complain. I get it. But Wattpad has over 90 million users. Meanwhile, I can't even get Google to give my site any kind of meaningful ranking. It doesn't even appear in the Google search engine.
Don't worry. You will still be able to make comments and all the other bullshit. But I do have a favor to ask. Please upvote my blog post if you like it. This will allow my content to spread like cancer through Wattpad, and one day I might even become a famous humorist like Mark Twain. I shit you not.
Have a great day and God bless you all.

Crazy Planet
Yesterday, I got home at 6 p.m. and enjoyed a quick smoke. Then I soon noticed that Rice-Boy Larry was nowhere to be found. So I gave him a call using my ancient smartphone.
I said, “What
are you up to?”
“I’m at a PC
room with my friends.”
“Do you want
me to make you dinner?”
“Yes, I’m
about to run to the house in a couple of minutes.”
“You don’t
need to run. Just take your time.”
“But I’m
trying to keep in shape.”
“OK. Do as
you will.”
Rice-Boy’s
big goal in life is to one day finish a marathon. Why? I have no fucking idea.
Yet my kid is always jogging from here to there. And I have to tell you
motherfuckers the truth. When it comes to exercise, he has a great deal of
stamina. The kid never seems to get tired out. I call him three-lung Larry.
I threw twelve
Chinese dumplings into the air fryer and served them to my boy with two apples
for dessert. I’m trying to make sure that we’re both eating enough fruit and
vegetables.
After his
arrival, he told me some news about the Dragon Lady.
“Mom texted
me today.”
My heart
fell to my feet. “What does she want?”
“She’s
coming to visit me on Monday, and she’s planning on spending the night.”
I sighed
heavily. “Wow. That sucks.”
“Should I
tell her to get a motel?”
I shook my
head. “I don’t think it would be legal. We’re still a couple in the eyes of
law.”
It’s tough
to dissolve a marriage here in South Korea. No-fault divorces don’t exist on
the peninsula, so both parties have to agree to part ways before the union is
considered kaput in the eyes of Big Brother. If there is no meeting of the
minds, then the aggrieved party must hire a lawyer in order to prove beyond a doubt
that he’s suffered terrible injuries due to his spouse’s abuse. The threshold is
extremely high.
I sat on the
sofa and watched Fox News. A sixth-grade girl went on a field trip, and the school
administrators asked her to share a bed with a boy who identifies as a female. The
parents are now suing the district for monetary damages. They are asking for
millions and millions of dollars.
Then I switched
the channel to Netflix and viewed several episodes of the Australian prison
drama Wentworth. One of the guards is currently going crazy because he
buried the former warden alive in the woods. Wentworth is truly a hidden
gem. It’s a glorious X-rated soap opera filled with sex and violence. It comes
with my highest recommendation.
I eventually
walked to my bedroom at 9 p.m. and enjoyed a quick wank before sleeping like
the dead. The alarm sounded at 5 a.m., and I drank a cup of instant coffee.
Then I read the headlines on my smartphone while taking a nasty shit.
A 41-year-old
Korean woman was sentenced to thirteen years in prison for forcing her co-worker
into prostitution. Over the course of thirty-six months, this lady made close
to half a million dollars by turning her acquaintance into a sex slave. And
here’s the kicker. The victim’s husband was also found guilty of aiding and
abetting in the crime. He was handed a six-year sentence for his bad behavior.
Yet I didn’t
find the story the least bit shocking. After all, Satan is the prince of this
fallen world, so good luck trying to smell the roses on this crazy planet.

Homeless Bum
Yesterday, I
got home at 6 p.m. and enjoyed a smoke. Then I knocked on Rice-Boy Larry’s
bedroom door.
He said, “What
do you want?”
“You have to
come with me to the store.”
“But I’m
studying for a science test.”
“It won’t
take long. I’ve got to get eggs and liquid detergent.”
He nodded in
agreement. “OK. I have to purchase a new notebook anyhow.”
“Don’t you own a ton of notebooks?”
“Yes, but
they’ve all been used in one way or another. Maybe it’s time for a fresh start.”
So we walked
to a small supermarket that’s about ten minutes from my house. The weather outside
hasn’t been too bad recently. It’s only been chilly as opposed to numb-your-bones cold.
Anyway, we
got to the place and started making our way up and down the aisles. We found a
great deal on eggs. I bought 30 for seven dollars. They aren’t the good ones
laid by the happy free-range birds advertised on TV. Rather, the poor chickens who
squeezed these eggs out of their pussies reside in cramped cages and are both
stressed and suicidal. But what’s a boy to do? I love animals with all my
heart, yet I still have to feed my family.
Next came
the liquid detergent. There were lots of brands to choose from. And I finally
settled on a large plastic container that was on sale for ten dollars.
Larry said, “Why
waste your money? You have plenty of soap powder at our humble abode.”
“Yes, but
that powder left white stains on your black jacket. Now I’m trying to remove
the flakes so that you don’t look like a homeless bum.”
We
eventually got back to the apartment at quarter to seven, and I made my boy
dinner. I served him hash browns with five fried eggs. I prepare the same meal
practically every day. I also gave him an apple which I had bought off a fruit
truck a few days ago.
Then I took
his jacket and shoved it into the washing machine. It spun around and around
with plenty of liquid soap for a good ninety minutes. And you guessed it. When
I finally took it out and hung the fucking thing up to dry, the stains were
still present. My washer simply isn’t big enough to handle a coat of that size.
I waited
until 10 p.m. to call my mother using Facebook Messenger. It was 7 a.m. in her
neck of the woods, and she was sitting on her patio drinking her morning
coffee.
I said, “I’m
going nuts over here.”
“Why?”
“I can’t get
the powder stains off of Larry’s jacket.”
“What you
need to do is let it soak in the bathtub overnight and gently rub the affected
areas with a brush from time to time.”
“Will that
do the trick?”
“Well, if it
doesn’t, then you’re fucked.”
“I’ll try
that tomorrow.”
I relaxed in
bed and watched Fox News. The president of Harvard is a black militant female,
and she was getting grilled by a republican member of congress who accused her
of being anti-Semitic. I tried to view the entire story, but I fell asleep halfway
through the proceedings.
I woke up at
5 a.m. and fixed myself a cup of instant coffee. Then I read the headlines on
my smartphone while taking a nasty shit. According to a professor in Seoul,
there are over 70,000 homeless teenagers wandering aimlessly around the cities
of South Korea. Yet I’ve been living here for years and years, and I’ve never
seen a single solitary street waif during my entire stay. Go figure.

A Hard World
Last night, I got home at 6 p.m. and had a smoke. Then I walked to the grocery store and bought eight donuts for seven dollars. Four of them were filled with jelly, and the others were frosted with sugar and chocolate.
After that,
I cooked dinner for Rice-Boy Larry. I fried five eggs in the skillet and served
them with hash browns. I took the plate to his room because my son was busy
studying for some type of math test. Asians take numbers very seriously.
Then it was
time to vacuum the apartment while doing two loads of laundry. I soon noticed several
pairs of dirty socks on the floor and some day-old snot paper on one of the
tables. For some reason, I simply went ballistic.
I looked at
my boy sternly. “I’m tired of picking up your filthy clothes and snotty tissues.”
“It’s not
that big of a deal.”
“Bullshit.
It’s a huge deal. Furthermore, I’ve noticed that you have a habit of drinking
half a bottle of water and leaving the plastic container wherever it may fall.”
“Again, not
a big deal.”
I sighed
heavily. “Son, I’m not Mister Clean. Far from it. And a little bit of clutter
falls off my back like rain from a duck’s ass. But I’m worried about disease.
Flush your fucking mucus down the toilet and put your dirty clothes in the
motherfucking hamper. It’s not that hard. Even a little kid could master those
skills. And stop leaving that water laying around. If you aren’t gonna drink
it, then dump the remainder in the sink and dispose of the bottle in a proper
fashion. You’re creating a powerful Petrie dish of potential illness with your
dirty ways.”
“OK! Got it!
Anything else?”
I shook my
head. “No, I’ve spoken my peace. You are now free to go about your business.”
Later that
evening, I removed the clothes from the washer and hung them to dry. Nobody in
South Korea owns a dryer. Why? I couldn't tell you. In fact, I have no idea why the locals hold such a grudge
against that particular appliance. Anyway, I soon noticed that one of the
jackets contained soap stains because the powder hadn’t fully dissolved during
the cycle.
Once again,
I went ballistic.
I screamed, “Motherfucker!”
Larry came
running to the veranda. “What’s the matter?”
“It’s this
fucking jacket. It still has soap stains. I’ll have to wash it again.”
Larry shot
me the stink eye. “Would you fucking relax? You’re about to give me a heart
attack with all your nonsense.”
I nodded in
compliance. Then I fixed myself a cup of instant coffee and went downstairs for
another smoke. The nicotine helped soothe my jangled nerves, calming the savage
beast that was raging inside of me.
At 9 p.m., I
walked to my room and enjoyed a quick wank before falling asleep. I had a dream
that I was sitting outside with a pastor I once knew. We were sipping on a
beverage, and neon signs were flashing all over the place. I told him not to
move because I had to buy some food for a planned celebration.
I said, “I’ll
be back in ten minutes.”
He said, “I’ll
be here.”
Yet when I
returned, he was gone.
The alarm sounded at 5 a.m., and I made myself a cup of green tea. Then I read the headlines on my smartphone while taking a nasty shit. A lawyer from Seoul beat his wife to death with a blunt object. They had been arguing about finances before he finally snapped. Now he’ll have to spend the next two decades in prison. It’s a hard world.

Old and Tired
Yesterday, I
woke up at 8 a.m. and drank a cup of green tea. Then I read the headlines on my
smartphone while taking a nasty shit. The dead Buddhist monk, Venerable Jaseung,
was finally laid to rest in Seoul after being reduced to a charcoal briquette a couple days ago. But it turns out that the fire which claimed his
life wasn’t actually an accident. Quite the contrary. Venerable Jaseung burned
himself alive as an offering to Buddha. In fact, the authorities found several
suicide notes in his car. It seems that every once in a while, monks like to
self-immolate in order to spread their false religion. Go figure.
I called my
mother using Facebook Messenger.
I said, “One
of the teachers at my school is retiring this year. He’s 65 years old.”
“Is Gramps
happy about the situation?”
“No, he’s miserable.
The poor son of a bitch is getting old, and he feels like nobody wants him.”
“So what’s
he going to do?”
“Him and his
wife are moving to Pusan to live with their daughters.”
“Is he
married to a Korean?”
I nodded. “Yes,
they’ve been together for almost thirty years.”
“Is she
crazy like your wife?”
I shrugged
my shoulders. “I have no idea. I don’t really know the toothless geezer that
well to delve into his personal life.”
“Do you want
some advice?”
I shook my
head from side to side. “Not really.”
“Well, too
fucking bad.” She paused for dramatic effect. “You need to get on the internet
and buy two plane tickets. And then you and your boy should come back home to
Texas tomorrow. I won’t be around for another ten years, and I want to make
sure that you’re settled before I die.”
“Settled? I’ll
be working at the fucking Waffle House with no health insurance or benefits of
any kind.”
“It doesn’t
matter. You can get on Medicaid.”
“I’m
tempted, but it’s such a huge defeat for a man in his 50s to come crawling back
home to Mama. I think I’d rather die.”
“But it’s
not just about you. You must also do what’s best for Rice-Boy Larry. He’s an
American who needs to be around his older brother.”
Mom’s been
assailing me with guilt ever since I went to visit her last year. She has even
offered to buy me a house in order to lure me back. Yet the very thought of it
makes me quite queasy. I have a decent job and great insurance. I’d hate to
give that up. Plus I don’t know Chicken Ken’s future. He keeps on talking about
joining the Air Force after college. So I might return just to sit by my lonesome.
Decisions, decisions.
Larry
finally crawled out of bed at 11 a.m.
I said, “Are
you coming to church with me today?”
“I can’t. I’ve
got too much studying to do.”
“Would you
like to go live in Texas?”
“It’s up to
you. But don’t think for one minute that Mom is finished with her nonsense.”
“What do you
mean? I haven’t seen the woman in four months.”
“It doesn’t
matter. You’ve got a pension, so she’s going to try and take it all. And if you
fight her in court, then she’ll smear your reputation to the leadership at the
school.”
“Smear my
reputation? And how would she accomplish that?”
“By telling
outrageous lies. Maybe she’ll say that you’re a pervert or a drug user, and she
won’t be happy until you are completely destroyed.”
“But I’m not
a pervert or a drug user.”
“Doesn’t
matter. What does truth have to do with anything?”
Rice-Boy is quite
cynical at times. However, he could be right. The Dragon Lady is a dangerous
loon. Yet with that said, I’m not going to lose any sleep over it. I’m too old
and tired to care anymore. Perhaps I should burn myself to a crisp like the Venerable
Jaseung. But who can handle all that pain? I’m definitely too much of a pussy
to employ the nuclear option, so I’ll just have to grin and bear it.
