Father Christmas is my Rock

The Korean word for butterfly is Nabi

Similar like mud and ice cream

Would you like to hear a song about butterflies?
So would I...

Sad Joke to Start the Week

Last week was my birthday and I didn't feel very well waking up that morning. I went downstairs for breakfast hoping my wife would be pleasant and say,

'Happy Birthday!',

and possibly have a present for me. As it turned out, she barely said good morning, let alone 'Happy Birthday.'

I thought... Well, that's marriage for you, but the kids will remember. My kids came into breakfast and didn't say a word.

So when I left for the office, I was feeling pretty low and somewhat despondent. As I walked into my office, my secretary Jane said,

'Good morning, boss, Happy Birthday!'

It felt a little better that at least someone had remembered. I worked until one o'clock and then Jane knocked on my door and said,

'You know, it's such a beautiful day outside, and it's your birthday, let's go out to lunch, just you and me.'

I said,

'Thanks Jane, that's the greatest thing I've heard all day.Let's go!'

We went to lunch. Butwe didn't go where we normally would go. We dined instead at a little place with a private table. We had two martinis each and I enjoyed the meal tremendously on the way back to the office, Jane said,

'You know, it's such a beautiful day... We don't need to go back to the office, do we?'

I responded,

'I guess not. What do you have in mind?'

She said,

'Let's go back to my apartment.'

After arriving at her apartment Jane turned to me and said, 'Boss, if you don't mind, I'm going to step into the bedroom for a moment. I'll be right back.' 'OK.' I nervously replied. She went into the bedroom and, after a couple of minutes, she came out carrying a huge birthday cake... Followed by my wife, kids, and dozens of my friends and co-workers, all singing 'Happy Birthday'. and I just sat there...

On the couch...

Friday, a big day in anyone's week

So it's almost the weekend
Now that I don't work them, I like them
Funny how that works
This weekend it's all about football
Football and food
Yay my weekend.

(Am I tiring of this free poetry yet?)

Have a good one.

Please check out sannakji.podbean.com if this is something you would like to hear. I can't promise much, but at least you can say you have heard what I really sound like! Must sort out the 'ums' and 'ahs' though! I hope to podcast once a week, so it would be cool if you guys hung around :) If not, then at least keep coming back to me here at sannakji.org ok?

Tonite's Special, Just Guess!

Right next to my bus stop is a Middle Eastern Cafe. Like most restaurants they advertise their daily special on a blackboard. Here's the thing about this restaurant though. They have been advertising Lamb Shanks as their special for over 5 years! Every single day. Lamb Shanks. While they may be a popular special, isn't time to actually put them on the menu? Hmmmmm...

Benny Hinn is Nuts

I am a little bit slack at the moment with blogging. I haven't really had a lot of time on my computer to make some nice photos for you guys out there in blog land. Pictures are worth a thousand words and they are easier to look at than a bunch of words don't you think?

So anyway, here is a photo. It is a sign posted on one of the last venues for the Cold War. The border between North and South Korea. The sign is 54 years old this year. Happy Birthday sign!

I also thought I would include a bunch of words. Just for the hell of it, why not?

A moth flew on to my cactus at work. I don't think it realised that a cactus is prickly. It stuck fast to the cactus and is now frozen in time on the top. I don't think it will make the same mistake next time... Does anyone want to see a photo? I am thinking of posting it next time. Money will be accepted to not post! Don't you feel a bit sorry for moths? They are the poor cousin of the butterfly. The butterfly gets all those amazing colours and people ooh and aah when they see them. The biggest reaction I ever saw for a moth was a screaming fit from a friend of mine. Moths get a raw deal. It must stop!




Recently I have become horribly addicted to Licorice Allsorts. The funny thing is that I hate licorice. But the allsort bit seems to cancel out the horrible licorice flavour leaving my tastebuds nothing but sugary goodness. Mmmmm. The problem is that I tend to eat about four and feel quite ill. I walk away swearing that I won't eat anymore, but everytime I see that packet... It's the Allsort's fault I tell you!

Last week while in Melbourne, I made a quick side trip to India. I had a chicken giro. It was tasty.

Hello Cliffside Park!

A great function that Google is now offering is Google Analytics. Maybe everyone already knows about this? I can't deny the fact that I am always last on the scene when it comes to this new fangled internet thingy. Anyway, thanks to Seoul Man for putting me on to it. It allows me to see where my visitors are coming from. Thanks to my recent visitors from South Africa, Nigeria and Concepcion I am now only waiting on a visitor from Antarctica to complete my continent set. By far the most visitors come from USA. Thank you my American friends. USA! USA! USA! For some weird reason the most numerous visits are from Cliffside Park, New Jersey. How interesting! If you are the person who keeps visiting from Cliffside Park, please let me know. I am intrigued. I can't imagine you are my sister-in-law's family (who live in New Jersey). Who the heck are ya?

It's also good for seeing how your site is accessed via search engines. This website has been found by searching for "i was deported", "policeman electrodes to nipples", "kumara 42 talk show bbc" and "deaf blogs in nz from photos" (among others). What fun!

Gulls

I get so jealous of birds. Especially gulls who seem to have pretty good lives. Except for the ones with one leg or a broken wing. Those ones are jealous of me!

The Art of Being Regular

One thing about blogs is that if someone doesn't update for a while, well you just stop visiting the site. I dread that my site could become one of these. The problem however is two fold. I spent last week getting ready for my whirlwind trip to Melbourne, took my whirlwind trip to Melbourne and returned from my whirlwind trip to Melbourne. Because of this I just didn't have time for the computer. The other problem is my current addiction with the American TV show Prison Break. As Aotearoa is so far behind America I have been forced to use my computer to rectify this. My computer is so slow and sad that to even attempt blogging at the same time would be tantamount to slow death by snail.

So, to show you that my blog is in fact very much alive, I thought I would first lay out a list of excuses and then finish this post off with something very interesting. A minor problem here is that I can't think of anything interesting. Let me think for a bit............................................................ ..........................................................................................................................................................................

When I was a kid anyone who was any one told me that if I swallowed gum it would stay in my body for seven years. Well, it turns out that that is not the case. Gum will come out just as quickly as anything else. To celebrate this news I am now going to swallow a pack of gum.

Now that was worth waiting for wasn't it?

San Nakji for President!

It's True

I've been away in Australia checking out my friends Little Britain. Melbourne is a nice city, not an attractive one in the same way as Auckland or Sydney, but there is a lot to do and more importantly the food there is great!

So, I come back and it seems to have been a very slow week for my fellow bloggers. Except for Cergie who is always on the case of course! Come on people, pick up the pace!

Well, it's Friday and the weekend is almost here. Have a good weekend one and all!

San Nakji Revealed

Two things today,

First of all a picture of me...



I took this photo today as I met the band Snow Patrol. This Scottish / Northern Irish band may have remained in obscurity but for one break through song known all around the world, especially to Grey's Anatomy watchers. (which is not me!).




I hung out with them for a bit while they sang an acoustic version of the song. Not really my cup of tea, but it was awesome hanging out with them all the same.



The second thing that happened was three earthquakes struck Auckland, where I live. I felt my couch shake and thought that perhaps we were being hit by friendly fire from Iraq. Nope, earthquakes. Whatever next? Mrs SN was quite prepared to pack our stuff and move back to Korea quick haste. I think I have talked her out of it. They were small quakes!

Makes you think

When you have a moment...

Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up every two hours?

If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?

Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat?

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but Then they check when you say the paint is wet?

Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?

Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?

Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?

Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "lisp"?

What is the speed of darkness?

Are there specially reserved parking spaces for "normal" people at the Special Olympics?

If it's true that we are here to help others, what are the others doing here?

How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?

Who was the first person to say, "See that chicken there... I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta its bum."

Why do toasters always have a setting so high that could burn the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?

Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?

Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their bum when they ask where the bathroom is?

Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs!

Can blind people see their dreams? Do they dream??

If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

Why do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?

OK, stop singing and read on . . . . . . . .

Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?

Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive any faster?

Tagged, Zounds!

So it's been a while since I was tagged. My good friend from France, Cergie. If you haven't checked out her blog, I really recommend it. She shows us another side of France.

Anyway her tag is called... *drum roll* (pause while San Nakji quickly checks Cergie's blog quickly for the title)... Doesn't seem to have one so I shall call it Get Zapped.

In Get Zapped I have to tell you 6 weird or interesting things about me. I may even tell the truth... Maybe. So here goes,

1) I was deported by the Czechoslovakian government.

2) I own a piece of the Berlin Wall.

3) My first overseas trip was when I was 6 weeks old. My destination? Pago Pago.

4) I was once a Buddhist.

5) I can name all the monarchs of England from 1066 to the present.

6) I want to marry Oprah

Well, that's it. I would like to tag the following people,

KS, Minty, Deepa, GH, Friar, Cool Buddha, Ashley, RSL and David. Go to it kids!

Words Without Pictures

Lateness to bed and earliness to rise meant that I didn't work on any photos last night. This means that I have no photos to post. However, one thing I have learned about blogging is that you have to be regular. The doctor would tell you the same thing. Eat some bran, solves the problem. Think of this post as e-bran. E-bran, the food of champions!

Anyway, as I type I really have no idea what to say. This may surprise you as this post seems so professionally put together, but yes, it is off the cuff so to speak. I find that a lot of people in the blog world have a lot to say. Many are braver than me in talking about their personal lives. This is not for me. What goes on with my family is between me and them. I am pretty sure also that most people wouldn't care.

There is a show in Melbourne on the 28th of February. The show is Little Britain Live, I am a big fan of the TV show it is based on. On a spur of the moment thing I bought tickets to Australia and bought the best ticket to the show I could. I found the cheapest flights to Melbourne mean that I will stay in Australia for a grand total of 26 hours. Mrs SN couldn't come, so to make things worse it is just me... The more I think about it, the more I think I am crazy. But I am also excited that I will get to see such a brilliant show! It is one of the biggest spur of the moment things I have ever done... What about you guys? Done anything crazy like this? Maybe this isn't crazy?

Anyway, I am very excited! Yay!
