OK, I'm the guy who posted the Amazon review of your book. First of all, I did add a second part to the initial comment to water it down. My apologies for coming off a little/way-too-damn negative in my first post. But let's face it, the book is crap and you wasted an amazing amount of talent writing it. You're a funny guy and would make a great neighbor. You'd be fun to be around whether we were eating steaks in the dining room or feasting on a squirrel in the back yard that we had cooked on an old refrigerator grille. In some ways you are pure genius. I mean that. You have a mind like a steel trap and an amazingly perceptive way of looking at life. I learn from reading your blog. Now get off your sofa and go write the novel you are capable of writing. Maybe a story about a guy who killed a couple of mafia hitmen in a hit and run one rainy night and then decides to go to their funerals to plant drugs in the church to get the whole crew arrested. Something edgy as hell. Or whatever. You can do it. It's not a great novel. But it isn't designed that way. I was looking to produce something that would appeal to the Netflix crowd. I think I succeeded. The only problem is promotion. Nobody knows about it.

Great Blog...but how will it ever survive if the Dragon Lady makes her exit final?
Nice to find your links at Zerohedge from time to time. Your humor really is good therapy/escapism

Hey Man, I hope you're doing okay. I noticed you haven't posted in serveral days, and hope things with the Dragon Lady come to some sort of conclusion. Shoot, I guess you're sticking it out for your son, and I totally respect that. Just, ya gotta remember to take care of yourself too. My guess is you'll get on back to Texas and figure out some gig there at some point. Remember, you're not alone and there are lots of us praying for you and your happiness. Best of luck!

Jack, Have you planned for the future now that your wife moved out? In a year, your remaining son will complete secondary school and maybe move on, to college or his military duty. When he leaves, you will have no Korean translator at home. How will you then go to the doctor, or do any kind of local business? So, it appears once you finally become an empty-nester, you may have to move back to Texas. I think your options are broader there than the Waffle House. You could maybe teach English as a Foreign language to immigrants. Heck, I have a relative who works long hours as a security guard, but with massive overtime, he makes $60k a year and owns a small house. Time to plan the next stage of your life. You only have a year. Good luck, I enjoy your blog.

Hi Jack, I clicked on a comment on ZH, and found myself here. Funny stuff. I have never been to Korea. It seems like a pretty interesting place. I live in LA, so at least I can get good food and K-town has some great places. I like Koreans. I like that they really don't give too much of a damn about assimilating or translating their signs. There's a great place called Da Sung Saw. I heard it is named after a movie theater in Seoul. I feel you with the wanting to get a job at the Waffle House. It's too bad there aren't any here in LA. I'm pretty sick of things. I'm 56, and I just want to get a job stacking shelves at the supermarket or something. I have spent a fair amount of time in Dallas. I have thought about moving there because things are way cheaper, and I like Texans. I also have thought about Houston because I like southern hip hop. RIP DJ Screw. And I have give some serious thought to Shreveport as well. Just wanted to say hi. I'm going to check out more stuff on your blog. I don't know who the Dragon Lady is. Cool. Thanks from Venice CA

Thanks for stopping and sharing your thoughts. I would have written back sooner, but I seldom check this message board. It doesn't get much traffic, so I always assume that nobody is visiting. Thanks for supporting my stupid blog. God bless.
