Fighting the good fight against over-specialization and irksome conversation. LeBron James Begins His Metamorphosis Into Giant-Headed Freak Of a Man. July 8, 2010. I’m of course talking about Barry Bonds, decimater of Pirates, false hope inspirer of Giants. But karma is a bitch. The 1993 Giants won 103 games, but still lost the NL West to the Atlanta Braves. The top-loaded Heat could easily topple if and when Chris Bosh. Go down with injuries. AAAAAND in related news, I may just be extremely bitter that ...

I Am Not Harry Potter. So You Want To Teach In South Korea. Do You Agree Or Disagree With The Following Statement? July 8, 2009. Fast enough that being employed for twelve months qualifies you as a veteran. And like any good veteran, I’ve got my share of longwinded observations fueled by some sense of perspective. In the coming weeks, I’ll try to use that perspective to transform some of these scraps of paper at my feet into something tangible and understandable. Responses to “One Year In”. Get every new...

I Am Not Harry Potter. Archive for August, 2008. August 26, 2008. My strongest first-day-lasting-impression was left by a student named ChokeSlam. ChokeSlam was in a class that I would be taking over from a teacher who was leaving Korea to head home to America a week after I arrived. It so happened that all five of the students in the class needed to have impromptu speaking tests. They finished early, and the teacher decided to play a speaking game with them for the remaining ten minutes of class. ChokeS...

I Am Not Harry Potter. No, my name is not Harry Potter. Do not let the boyish charm (at the time of writing, I’m 22), oval-shaped glasses (they’re neither black framed nor circular), or brown hair (it’s shaved close, why do I keep getting these comparisons?

I Am Not Harry Potter. Archive for August, 2009. Do You Agree Or Disagree With The Following Statement? August 2, 2009. The desk is cluttered. TOEFL scripts are scattered among ungraded essays and year-old report cards. Manila file folders stacked on the desk follow through on the promises advertised on their covers; their bent corners and torn spines add new meaning to made out of recycled materials. Who knows how long these folders have been here? I stumble upon a goldmine. Jerry had never sat at t...

I Am Not Harry Potter. The First Day on the Job. August 26, 2008. The room is familiar. Desks arranged in rows face the front of the room. They are covered with papers, pencils, markers, erasers. A dry-erase board hangs from a wall. I’ve been in hundreds of rooms that look just like this one. But something’s different this time. For one thing, the dry-erase board is to my back. Huh. I’m wearing a tie. I never wear ties. Wait, why is a marker in my hand? I ask the question deliberately, conscious of the f...
