Time for intros

Where should I start.  Once again, I venture into the world of blogging, as many of my generation are now doing.  What can I say? Well…for starters, as the title implies, my name is Ken, and deceitfully, I am not in Korea as of yet.  However, soon this will change.  I will depart the United States of America, the home of the free, the land of opportunity, the great land of milk and honey to venture to a place as foreign to me as the moon.  This will happen on the 24th of February 2008.  Why am I writing now?  Why not? I figure, to have a solid documentation of your experiences is something that will one day be of great value to me, and possibly to others.  Today is now the 9th of February, and the days endlessly transpire as my life will one day expend.  To look back over the countless days and have a recollect of my life, my journeys and experiences and see the growth in wisdom and knowledge, and from where I have indeed increased in wisdom…priceless.  I will study at Yonsei university, a university that really has little meaning for me at this particular moment, however, was chosen for its national prestige and the encompassing life that will be inherited in living/studying in Seoul, among my mother’s countrymen.  I currently major in International Studies/International Business, and will also take Korean language courses to supplement my study.  Nevertheless, the lessons of living on my own, and confronting the challenges of being independent and self-sufficient are the real classes I will be taking.  From not fitting in physically, culturally, and earnestly reflecting to the core of who i am and my weakness as an individual and the obstacles that will seem daunting..how I choose to overcome, or fail to do so will determine a lot in my introspection. 

A little off the subject now.  Barack O’Bama, as my girlfriend has just told me, will be speaking Va Beach tomorrow.  I really like Barack and he will probably have my vote.  Me and Barack share a few things in common, in being somewhat anti-affluent in our upbringings, yet having the determination to succeed in life in a mannerism that is not hostile in clawing tooth and nail to the top, contrarily having compassion and serving others in the journey.
