I am Bradley Manning
Some very serious discussion about 'the system' we live in. I support the message here.

Catching the Sunset
My wife and I watching the sunset from our front porch.
Nothing overly special, just taking a moment out from our busy lives to realize the beauty of this world.

Korean Drama Themed Painting
Yesterday we went to the art store together to buy a bunch of canvas for Steph. This trip was to attempt to make it easier for her to paint whenever she feels inspired.
We spent about $65 American on supplies so she would feel stocked and prepared for the next however long into the future. Our purchase included 8 canvases of varying sizes, which to me seemed like more than enough surface to paint on for at least a week. Boy was I wrong. I was so shocked last night that I made this short vlog to go more into detail about her accomplishments.
Steph is working on a summer collection of artwork to compliment her drama reviews on YouTube. Because this idea is so new to us we still have not etched out the final details. One of the goals is to paint or create a piece of artwork for each of the 2012 or 2013 Korean dramas that she has reviewed. We do like the direction it is taking us, because together we feel a renewed sense of happiness in our relationship, and purpose in our life.
Too much detail? It's not like a lot of people are reading this anyways.
Keep the faith.

Art Supply Shopping in Korea
My wife and her obsession with art.. ah, I love it!
Today my lovely wife and I went art supply shopping for her. I realized after I watched this video that I didn't really capture her shopping for art supplies very well. That'll have to wait for a future video. I was just playing around with video today.

Background of Kyokushin Karate training in Korea
Although Taekwondo is by far the most popular martial arts sport in Korea, Kyokushin Karate can easily be found here as well.
Background into how I filmed this project:
I taught Mo and Bader (the subjects training for the tournament in part 4) in an English class at Kyung Hee University in the fall of 2008. They had just began studying as international students there, and it was my first semester on the job as well. Because they stuck out in a class mostly dominated by Korea students, I got to know them and we became friends after the semester has finished.
Nearly 3 years later I finished this short movie.
In this part 3 I interview their Park Sang Hyun, their Kyokushin trainer. We explained a little bit about the history of Kyokushin and who founded it. This part also contains some great slow motion shots of Mo and Bader training while Mr. Park dissects their style of Kyokushin fighting.
This part 3 is a must see for anyone interested in, or training for a Kyokushin tournament.
