Good luck with my info. From Krypton, living in Smallville, previously worked for Star Fleet, and graduated from Star Fleet Academy and the Vulcan Science Instritute.
Well, now the Man knows who you are. Good luck with finding a phone booth. In fact, that's probably why they've got rid of them.
I use elevators and stairwells these days. So ... Whatevs.
Get back to me when you've figured out correct underpant usage.

Dude! Have you not seen my recent movies?

Wow, this stuff is pretty awful tasting...but it is all natural and probably healthier than popping sleeping tablets. Let's hope this helps with my bad sleeping.

I was having a look through my "memories" on Facebook, and worked out where so many of my "unfriends" come from. People get really upset when you ask them why they are wishing a celebrity (who isn't their Facebook friend and won't see their post) "happy birthday".

I don't get why that upsets people, but I guess the reason people post wishing celebrities "happy birthday" is likely the same reason people post celebrity deaths with "RIP" etc. It's more an announcement to their friends that someone they like or admire is having a birthday or just died and it somehow emotionally affects them.

Today is my last day of employment. Can't remember wanting a work week to last longer. Leaving an excellent elementary school in which I am proud to say I was part of the start of teaching English in the Taiwan curriculum. Due to gov't regulation changes, I'm somehow no longer qualified to teach the materials I have made and taught, but am qualified to hand it all over to someone else to teach. Bummed, but blessed.
I feel for him, but all he has is a two year diploma (not in Education or any related field), no degree or CELTA/DELTA/TEFOL/TESOL etc. I remember six years ago talking to another bloke at the beach about getting a proper teaching certification/license and the pros and cons of an M.Ed or just a PGCE etc. His take at the time was, "Yeah, not interested in any of that. Being Canadian I'll always have a good job here."

One of my good old school mates made this status update.
Let's face it, we're all one lotto win away from becoming complete arseholes. In my case it'll be anything more than R 25.
To which I responded:
How many beers can you buy with 25 Rand in South Africa? In Taiwan that won't even buy you half a draft.
We go into a long exchange about differences in prices and how good meat and liquor is much cheaper in South Africa, the whys etc, as we like to have these conversations from time to time.
Out of nowhere some woman comments:
It's this kind of stupid comment that reminds me why so many South Africans hate Saffers who live abroad. The cost of living is relative to what you earn in the same currency.

And from a bloke who openly admits he learned his English in Taiwan and couldn't speak a word when he got here, who basically brags about how he was fired from his first job after two weeks when they finally realised he couldn't speak English.
Now, 16 years later, I present the Pride of Afrikanerdom in Taiwan:
As Western world getting back in routine for the year. We here in Asia is about to celebrate Chinese New Year
Yes, indeed. Some people should stick to making boerewors.
