About

 What am I about? 

 Currently I’m about laughing, being single, drinking wine with my gal pals,      traveling, dancing, jumping rope, learning how to play soccer, BARACK OBAMA, scotch on the rocks, eating kim-chi, voting, hula-hooping, wishful thinking, norebang, cyber stalking (I wonder if there are 12 step programs for this one; it’s really becoming a problem), licking brownies, dubu house, rafting on air beds, el camino, Missouri River, procrastination, The World’s Only Corn Palace, squat toilets, run-on sentences, South Dakota skies, talking to inanimate objects, kayaking, financial crisis, MINNESOTA TWINS BASEBALL, overall awesomeness, land-lines, gold teeth, running (for fitness and away from problems), referring to make-believe credible sources to justify poor decisions, hiking, public transportation, sleeping late, soju, burning bridges (it’s like I secrete kerosene and coupled with my explosive personality, well, there’s just like NO chance), inappropriately placing articles (the parts of speech), stretching the truth to enhance the excitement of a story, bobble heads, sporadically lifting weights, esse, crappy Korean television programming, surfing, free drinking water, ridiculous photo opportunities, yoga (the stretches not necessarily the state of mind), swimming, NKOTB pre-comeback, NOT leaving well enough alone, impulse buying, Wesley Willis, jan beer, illogical and poor decision making, NOT acting my age, and FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At this point it is probably crucial that I change some of the things that I’m about.

So, I guess the more appropriate question is what do I WANT to be about . . . the jury is still out!

Welcome to the third world!

Hey Marty, this too will pass. See it as the only time in your life you will be alone with yourself. You cannot make it with anybody else until you can do that.

Why Obama NO CHANCE! Come on……..positive thoughts now. I am praying!

So relax, sit back, and stop questioning. Suffer. In the end suffering is good. Use this time to define yourself. Stop asking others to define you. That’s called dependency!

You will always be Marty and that’s a good thing to be. If you miss your mom, come home because if this is so, your are not yet ready to be on your own.

I love you,
Merle

@ Merle

I love you too, your insight ALWAYS makes me thing positively. Thank you.

As for the OBAMA no chance . . . it was followed by “wishful thinking.” I was just free writing: the two thoughts were COMPLETELY SEPARATE! I’ve got my own lil’ campaign going on here. I’ve been passing out buttons, stickers and posters. Making certain that everyone has their absentee ballots in order. I too am praying. So to clarify, I’ve moved the thought “wishful thinking” to another location in the longest run on sentence ever.

kisses!

Moving forward.

All is well at the Center. Karla actually on 1.5 weeks holiday! The students are runnning the room. A 1970 Grade one student has asked me to be in her wedding! I will go to Chicago on 9/13.

I will send you my neice Kira’s e-mail address. She is teaching in Nepal. There must be some commonalities.

Much love,

Merle

Marty, So many of us already love everything that you are about. ONLY if you really don’t should you be looking to change so much. There is one thing I can promise you, change will happen whether you want it to or not. It is the one thing I know for sure!!! People always say you can count on death and taxes. I’m not so sure about either of them in the classic sense, but change, oh yes, there will be change. Hopefully the country is ready for some big changes, and we can have B O as our new president. Never stop imagaining it is so. It helps it to happen. Bike week ends today in the Black Hills. A wild summer!!! We have (for reals) been invited to London, Germany, Wisconsin, Upstate New york etc. We have had people from Shri Lanka, Australia, New Zeland, Germany, Belgum, Brunei, Laos, Viet Nam, India, Norway, Sweeden, Poland, Denmark, France,England, Scotland, Japan, Kenya, Paraguay, Argentina, the Dominican Republic (and most of these not just one set of guests), all over Canada, and from every state in the union including Alaska and Hawaii. Sadly no one has STAYED with us who is from Korea(maybe next time you’re here!) Oh, and no one from South Africa either, Merle.
Please get back to enjoying YOU as soon as you can after soul searching. Much love, Alicia

Hi Marty!

I want to thank you for helping our site out by being one of the first to join. We have sent many invites out in hopes to reach more relatives abroad. I have updated the site with photos from the June 08/Gulfport, MS Reunion. I will to continue to learn everybody’s name so that I can name their photos.

I know you were watching Obama’s nomination this pass week So how was it for you experiencing that moment? I thought about you while we were watching last week. I said to myself “Marty is really enjoying this great moment in history” Love you Cuzo!

Marco :)
