It started with a trip to Korea that left me unable to update my QOTD on a daily basis, then an error with my browser and reCAPTCHA that kept me from logging in after I got back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I switched browsers. Everything&#8217;s fine now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last two months have been far from uneventful. The Korea trip was full of a ridiculous amount of delicious food, but I actually lost weight from walking around so much. I saw PC Cafes, from cheap to luxurious, and got to see some of the Korean-war-era American-influenced history in the form of memorials and statues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Korea&#8217;s a weird place. There&#8217;s no middle class, and the line between the rich and poor is vast.  It&#8217;s definitely going through the growing pains of being a country that&#8217;s recently come across a huge amount of wealth and still doesn&#8217;t really know how to use it effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In November, the church blew up. There was weeping and gnashing of teeth. Not much else happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>December was full of gigs with ECV (eight, to be exact), that had us traveling all over Washington. It was a time of my own fulfillment, where I could brag that I learned 26 songs in three months and had 98% of the notes down. I tried to keep a lid on it, though. No sense in leaving a bad impression on your newest best friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the while, I&#8217;ve been watching the stock market and investing into other places. My goal is to never enter the rat race again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As cheap as a recap post is, I kinda need it in lieu of my missing QOTD months.  The time away has been refreshing, no doubt, but I&#8217;ll be back next month with the regularly-scheduled post full of pessimism and introspection.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope you&#8217;re excited for it. I sure am!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few reasons.
