This is a picture I drew just after moving to Korea. I made it to represent a character I had written about for the “Psycho-Six” stories my friends and I had been writing. I have not heard from a lot of these people for a while, only 2 come to mind, I hope the rest are doing well for themselves. For those of you who came to the Blog-site, you will notice I have started to put 1 of those stories up, I will be editing and updating it as we go (and I have time).
1 Week to Thanksgiving, and we have a lot of planning to do. This is our first Thanksgiving EVER. In China we would forget about it, because there was no external reminder and in class we were teaching American Thanksgiving (Same Holiday, just 1 month later). We are having a few people over, mostly from the Mainland Vancouver area. Will Post pics on the Facebook page during and after the event. ^_^.
On a Culture note: I have been told I am too “f&*^%ing sensitive” about this, (By a man from Ontario), but have we as Canadians started using the “F” word for everything while I was gone, or am I just meeting the wrong people since I got back? Now to be fair it isn’t everyone I see, but a lot of people in the Vancouver area I see cannot make a sentence without placing the dreaded word in there at least once or twice. It’s comparatively bad to the 1980’s with the word “like.” they’re not even using the word properly. An example I hear the other day was “I’m going to go F–ing shower and f—ing pick you up then go F– that party!” and generally when they use this word they make sure everyone in the area can hear their profanity with a smile on their face.
Now, coming from a culture of freedom of speech, I believe in their right to swear. But my curiosity come from why do people believe that they have to do so in every sentence?
So I shall leave you with Happy Thanksgiving! and please don’t go F—- that turkey.
