3 Months or so Since My Last Post

If you really want to know about Thailand, the Philippines or Maui then come find me. Let's have a beer and I'll tell you some wild stories. Other than that I don't really want to delve into that right now. You should know that Diana and I had a great time in Thailand, I was never robbed once the whole trip except by taxis drivers and their ilk, and ate awesome things. I'll throw some photos on after this post.

Next item on the agenda AND the most important. I AM TRYING TO GO BACK TO KOREA. I use all caps to definitely get your attention if you are reading this. One, I need a job. Does anyone know any good leads? Anyone have something maybe in March that is open?
I am ready to go back but I have a small PROBLEM: I am waiting for the delightful FBI to get my my clean background check back to me so then I can have another government agency put apostille stamps on it (like a notarization) and then be FULLY eligible for another position in Korea. So if anyone at the FBI reads this or anyone who is familiar with the process, do you know what's up? It says up to 4 months but that has to be a joke. But then again I've been waiting for several months now and am learning that I hope its the truth because I'm beginning to suspect a dog ate it and I'll never get it back.

So if you know about those two things please hit me up at: sidebyrnes@gmail.com PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.
