Life's not a joke, but God sure as hell has a sense of humour. |

Both for me. This is a serious (8ck987 joke!
Or maybe the joke is on me.
then again...
What was the question?
Nothing important I hope. |

How about 2112? Rush thinks it's significant.
But that's no fun as we won't live to see the apocalypse?
or even better....12/12/12!!!!

I once travelled in India with a Sadu Man. He told me: "Life is only a temporary drama."
I know this insight doesn't really mean much on an teachers' internet board, but..... walking barefoot in the dust, dodging cow excretia, fending off countless dirty beggars and touts, dripping with sweat in 39 deg C heat, feeling ominious stomach rumblings (after your last curry), seeing dead people on the street, smelling burning insence, and seeing dead bodies on fire in burning ghats... well, it did seem that life was only a temporary drama.
But, when I walk through my rural K rice-ville town, life just seems sooooooo ...... boring. |

No offense, but I think you should post a warning with an image like that letting the person know it's a video of someone dying. Some folks might be disturbed by that. |

| I've never seen a dead body on the street, but I think the simple burning of dead bodies is a good idea. |

Sergio Stefanuto - You were a moderator on this board at one time, Yes? If so, welcome to the dark side. Vader is strong indeed.
That video is from India. It looks like the guy purposely touched a high voltage wire. Why, I have no idea, but it's the last thing he ever touched. |

I think the joke is that while I am working hard at living a life, almost everyone I know back in the West is living a life sentence.
Now THAT is a joke! |
With all due respect, working in a kindergarten and asking a bunch of 6-year olds "I like pizza. How about you?" for $1600 per month is hardly my definition of 'having a life'. |
If that is your life I strongly suggest a change. If you think it is mine, you are way off base. I have taught ESL, but never to children. Recently I was teaching grade 6 at a private school, english/science/math. I spoke to the kids in a perfectly normal way, they all understood very well. Presently I am the editor and writer for SpotLight Asia magazine. I live in Vientiane and make a very respectable salary. My life rocks!
In fact, I just met a guy here, American, who spent the last 5 years in Korea. After having experienced Laos for all of 3 weeks, now he wonders why he stayed so long in hell. With the won in the toilet, a decent teaching job here enables you to live a way better life. Not to mention the food, the people actually like you and they are all polite, everything is cheap yadda yadda yadda
Don't spread it around. The last thing Laos needs is a bunch of miserable ESL'ers from Korea pissing on our parade. |

Laos? Well, you'll be very happy. You won't be seeing me there. |
