Should I become a MillWONionaire

Some major seeds have been planted in my regular applesaucey life this past weekend.

I went up to london and had a fantastic time. Partied, saw the Tarzan in me's amazing laday, whom I adore, and was most complicatededly (new word) introduced to the prospect of moving to South Korea for a year to teach abroad. Me ole roomie, is going to Korea, along with potential voyages from Nomi (another roomate) and CID (who really needs no parentheses to be described) to both Kwangju and Busan respectively.

Now travelling abroad is something I know I should do, and to a degree I want to do. And no this is not a post intended for all those who read from far off lands to comment and further entice my desire to get away; for the enticement is there and you would just further my anger towards my present location. I am already incredibly torn by this possibility and having Aaron sales pitch me this weekend, has me after two days overly ecstatic about putting my passport and working visas in motion.

Now some may say, how do you debate 32 000 a year, free rent, free flight, and a life in a new unfamiliar space with a culture who greatly appreciates your presence for the service you are offering their children? Well in many ways you cant, but the problem I am facing is that things are going really good for me right now. Atypical Industries is slowly taking off, I have a contract with Cancer Care Ontario, involved on the baseline of establishing regional cancer programs to drastically improve wait time for cancer surgery in the province and in the fall I have a job offer to be project management for an online job site leading the industry in workopolisey like job sites. This all equals a strong potential to have a clothing line, cross country event planning job, loft in the city, new car, lot of funds. Hopefully you can see where my confusion is lying.

I truly don't know what to do, but I am going today to start the process of getting my passport, and come later this week I will be looking into the job market in Kwangju for september.

The biggest push for my leaving is that I consider myself as a globally enlightened person, having educated myself in acceptance and the embrace of the worlds cultural diversity. If I don't take a trip like this, despite my successes of current here and now, I worry that in ten years time Iwill feel like a global hypocrite having always respected and spoke highly about the benefits of a world where all culture is accepted and respected globally. I feel as though I need to burst my bubble of verse, for a shock of reality.

Needless to say my focus at the job at hand has become very difficult, and my focus is constantly deteriorating.

Should I stay or Should I go....hmmmmmmm........fuk u aaron and your sweet tongue.
