July 7. Interview with mr. K.
Randay-voo: An Interview with Mr. K. Mr. K is an experimental philosopher who juggles with his concepts as if they were colorful balls.”Welcome to our studio, Mr. K.”-“You’re welcome in your studio too.””Why? Should I not be?”-“Am I saying that?””Shit. This is going to be tough. Dear listeners, our guest today is mr. K, philosopher. …
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?

June 30. Delving in old aphorisms.
“This is America, you are supposed to be in charge of your brain.”-“What do you mean?””I mean guns are allowed in this country but drugs is not that’s what I mean.”-“I don’t get it?””You are allowed to carry the means to hurt somebody, but you are not allowed to experiment with possible causes.”-“So?””In the Netherlands …
June 26. MJ.
Outer space, comin’ in. Got some Joycean interminglings here, I’m gut at it. Get rugged again, ruggged and tough like Miller and Hemingway and thick-fingered writers with a typewriter in a suitcase with a strong smell of leather.

-“Aren’t most writers?”
“You will have success. Be Nobel writer.”
His friend smiles. “Nobel writer.” he repeats nodding …
June 25. Pleasures.
Seoul is a city of pleasures. I mean, it’s a brilliantly composed ouverture to heaven with all its incredible restaurants, comfortable private cinemas (DVD-bang), relaxing saunas, karaokebars, 24-hour-nightlife, well-kept parks, shining glass facades facing every street – and quiet Buddhist temple retreats.
I start resuscitating my hibernating writer side today, so blog entries …
June 25. Seven Lively Sins.
Let’s do nothing today! Look around a bit, peek in a bookstore, and read some theater. Walk the busy center of Seoul, observe the people moving on and off. I am shocked that Namdaemun, the “Great South Gate” has been burnt down by some lunatic protesting againt the incumbent president. It is perhaps the most …

June 21. How are you today?
“Hi, how are you today?”
-“Could have been worse.”
“How’s business?”
-“What business?”
“The forgetting business.”
-“Ah, that one. No idea.”
“You know the proverb, do you?”
-“No?”
“No news is good news.”
-“You got a point there.”
