I Live With Mom

My life’s not so pathetic, I live with my mom

Conclusion to why I’m such a loser and fini to this blog


So it’s been a while. I’ve been meaning to finish this blog but I just haven’t had the time or felt like it.  I woke up at 3 this morning feeling like I couldn’t go back to sleep.  After tossing and turning for an hour I decided I should get up and be productive.

As some of you know I moved into my new place mid-December.  I’ve been busy with enjoying my life and applying to law school.  I put this blog aside as I no longer live at mom’s.  But people want to know one or two things, why I’m such a loser and whether I’m going to keep this blog going.

Let’s get the loser thing out of the way.  Obviously my memory is going to be a little bit hazy on this subject.  It’s been a little while since I’ve been to South Korea so the sequence of events may not be accurate.


I will not be living at mom’s


Just got approved by the landlord. I am moving to my own place.  Celebration in like a couple of weeks.


I am a total loser - Part Three


People have been asking when I’m going to continue with this post.  I lost steam, obviously.  I’ve been working overtime nearly everyday I’ve worked since I’ve been back.  That’s no excuse to not write blogs though.

Some have also commented on this blog directly how I don’t have the facts right.  To those people I say get your own fucking blog and write your own fucking facts.

So on the third day of Seoul we were to meet with Jeong-Il, I guess one of Robin’s students, to this place near North Korea.  The three of us were pretty hung-over from the night before.  Getting anywhere to meet anybody was a problem.  We finally met up with Jeong-Il, lucky for us, we got to take a South Korean bus.

South Korean buses are like 100 degrees inside, no one opens windows, and people like to eat sandwiches that have a fragrance that culminates in throw up.  Anyways, after we got off that death trap we were in some place called Heyri.

It’s an awesome architecture village where artists and architects live and do cool things.

Also in this village is this place:

Obviously Heyri is cool.

Then we went to a place to chop wood and eat barbeque:

Then we wasted a lot of time getting to the place where we were doing couch surfing:

Then we went to this tower with Jeoung-Il and her husband and then we got to eat some real deal Korean food in a dirty ass place.  It was awesome.

Okay so I PROMISE next post you’ll find out why I’m such a loser.  I promise.


I am a total loser - Part Two


I didn’t forget about telling you why I was a loser.

On the second day of our trip we headed to Changgyeonggung.  It’s this old ass palace that’s huge and awesome looking.  There are people in front who pretend to be from olden times.  Plus there are killer mountains in the background. (Click “Continue reading” below to keep going)


I am a total loser - Part One


In this series of blog posts Yazdo will be your travel guide to Seoul since guide books are essentially useless there.  He will also let you know why he is a total loser.

Seoul, South Korea.  Awesome.  Best trip I’ve ever been on.

So I’ve got a new site


So I’ve got a new site/blog I’m going to be working on.  The theme I’m using is super simple because I want to start with basically a really-easy-on-the-eyes-site.

You can check it out here: Click Here

It most likely will be another blog I post on quite a bit initially then let die off.  But here’s hoping to not!

I expect to be made fun of, so, have at it!


So I am kinda in love with this girl


Florence of Florence & the Machine

So I could be totally lame for thinking her album pretty much rules.  I don’t care.  Fuck everyone one of you who would listen to Lungs and then say, “Pouria, you’re the worst.”  I mean, you could say that for other reasons and it would be completely valid.  But if the crux of your argument for my worstness was because I think this album totally fucking rocks the shit out of anything else I’ve listened to, and that you disagree, then you would be the worst.

You see how that logic just rocked your shit?  Yea, that’s how deep I roll with philosophy.

So I may be working too many overtime shifts, and I may be at work right now when it’s almost 9 PM, and maybe I might be going even more insane than usual but this album excites me.  For example:

Let me know if shes into me

Pouria in Korea


So…I’m going to South Korea.  We all knew this day would happen.  All my life I’ve been using the “Hi, I’m Pouria.  Like Korea but with a P.”  It was only a matter of time before the Koreans tried to collect on royalties they’ve been owed.  Here is the plan:


Here is what’s on tap for this weekend


I am pretty excited for this weekend. It’s been a while since I’ve done anything that is bad for the soul since Ramadan started. A lot of sin wandered through my synapses as I sat at home and did nothing. But now I am doing stuff and it’s going to be a pretty busy weekend.


Man, the Koreans do not like to leave anything to the imagination


Pretty crazy

I don’t know if you guys watch Korean movies, but you should.  If you haven’t checked out The Host then do yourself a favor, check it out.  This is an awesome movie about the Korean war from the perspective of two South Korean brothers.  The scenes are so graphic it’s almost like a zombie flick.  Gotta love them Koreans.
