I think it would be good to have an area where people can vote for the best Korean websites (or has that been done). Blogs, diaries, etc - so I don't have to spend so much time going to BAD websites... ha

Korealife is good: http://www.korealife.blogspot.com
Seoul Stream has some cool video: http://www.seoulstream.com/

Any other GOOD sites? Who has video on their sites?

I know somebody you know Zen....he's kinda upset at some of the comments you made in your blog towards him... this should be easy enough for you to figure out who it is...did you tell $%^ you had a blog and then write crappy things about him, or did he kinda stumble across it?...if you told him about your blog and subsequently wrote disparaging remarks about said individual...thats not so cool.

Hmm... the only people I can remember consciously making disparaging remarks about are those involved in my school's management, and they don't speak English. I'm sure much of what I say can be viewed in an unintentionally negative way, and it's just how I honestly feel at the time. I'm not going to censor myself because I'm afraid I'm going to hurt someone's feelings.

And, you know, that comment has to be a joke because people complain that I'm too open-minded and friendly to too many people and am the last to criticize anyone. So, according to your logic, the "cool" thing to do would be to be dishonest and fake.

Well if he didn't know you had a blog, and subsequently came upon it by chance then thats his bad luck. But i'm just saying that i hope you didn't tell him you had a blog as he's pretty down about some of the comments made.

Seriously?

I went back through the past few entries, and I did mention someone who told me himself that people found him "annoying," and out of my group of friends, I was the last to find him so (read the blog) and actually encouraged him to hang out with us. We were all actually pissed that some people from another group found him so annoying and offensive that they spit in his drink. Many of us in our group honestly like this person and feel he is quite intelligent. We just felt he was trying too hard to show off and was asking everyone uncomfortably personal questions and bugged us and bugged us to drink late with him when we, unlike him, had to be at work early in the morning. And you have to admit, walking around town with a pack containing vodka and orange juice and begging people to drink screwdrivers with you is a little sad.

I don't remember if I gave him the address to the site, but that wouldn't stop me from saying things about him. I say what annoys me about all my friends all the time, and they have complete access to the site. One of my ex-girlfriends sends me nasty emails each time she reads that I go on a date with someone. But it's not going to stop me from talking about them.

Now, if we're talking about my supervisor, well, yeah, he's a spineless wad of Jell-o (tm).

Yeah, i've got Seoulstream.

I don't say much about it, because I'm a lazy butt with it and am kind of embarrased that it's a disorganized mess these days.

It looks like crap, and is hardly a display of my talents in photoshop or anything else. I just created it to put stuff up for friends/family.

Putting video on your sites is really quite easy once you learn how. You just need to download Microsoft's free Video Encoder, compress the .avi's, and save them in your web and link 'em.
