Let’s inspire not impress each other

July 12. The human predicament.
This day is intentionally left out. Writing this some weeks later, I can hardly remember what I did. I guess I hung out with my new friends in Seoul. Played pool on the 28th floor of an apartment building overlooking greater Seoul and the surrounding mountains we hiked a few days ago. Watching movies and ...
July 11. Wet eyes and all.
A bit ill. I spend the night and the better half of the day in the jimjilbang. Try to do some writing from 4:30 in the afternoon. Before that, I've seen a father going to the jimjilbang with his sun and I cried when he carefully helped the child into the water. Cried! I mean, ...
July 10. Avant-garde.
Meet old friends in a coffee near one of Seoul's many universities. They haven't changed much. We tell each other about our lives and smile friendly. Then I go and buy a ferry ticket to Vladivostok. The office is in the lively Insadong district. I head back to Tom n Toms coffee house to write ...
July 9. Jarmusch, Black Jesus

Retrieve the Russian visa. Calm when you wait in line. It is raining. I don't do much these days and I damn well know why. I have changed my intention 180 degrees. I was so keen on seeing some ex-girlfriend, check out if she is happy, if her family is happy, that kind of ...

July 5. Who is the zombie?
Just give yourself a break. If there is a mantra of wisdom, giving yourself a break from all too much devouring self-criticism should be in it.
Play "Who is the Zombie?"Cast: - a random group of people - a zombie; the zombie should look exactly like the people in the groupThe zombie has to mix ...
July 4. Tunnel underneath Mt. Meaning.
We can easily lock ourselves up in the cocoon of our own pleasure. You know what I mean. A nothing-else-matters-attitude, indulging in everything life has to offer and forgetting about what we ourselves have to offer it. We can also evolve. Something like that.
So, good morning. Everything alright?
