“Rock journalism is people who can’t write interviewing people who can’t talk for people who can’t read” (Frank Zappa) – Comment

I think it would be a big headline for several days through twitter or other types of SNS if he still lives in the world. I am just wondering why he said it like that. Did he want to blame media? Or express freedom of rock music?

To simplify this topic, does he mean journalists cannot write, interviewees cannot talk, and subscribers cannot read? It sounds neither eloquent nor poetic to me; at all. I think the statement is blasphemy against media and the public. Journalists have a right to know and a duty to let people know. There are still many talented rock musicians to interview. It does not have to be him.

In my understanding of this statement, it does not make sense at all. It is not for rock music, it's for the fans.

Change of a thought

It has been over one month since I spent and enjoyed my last winter vacation. I took a break, met people, and we drank together. I knew I had work to do, but I did not want miss a thing or even a moment with my people. Because the thought that "this vacation is the last time in my life in Cape Town" hurried through my mind.

But all of a sudden, something came up from my mind: why do I think it is the last one? And, have I ever contemplated staying here for work? Then I realised that I had limited my way and cheated myself into believing that it is the end….like one should not do.

That is the moment I changed what I wanted into being something possible. Now I think I've really got work for myself. I will show you the result, but first, wish me luck!

List your top 200 achievements.

If you have a goal, you do not have freedom

I want to go out and smoke, meet people, chat and drink together. I just want to do this tonight. But I still have to something which I have put off for 4 years. If I go out tonight to enjoy the rest of my time in Cape Town's life, I will lose my one day (a.k.a. opportunity) to go ahead for tomorrow.



Since I came to Cape Town, I have postponed something. That is to make my English books a mop; which means reading twice, three times, and a fourth time - until the books are torn out. Maybe I think it could be one of my good memories. I hope so….



Anyway, from tonight, I do not have freedom to go out. Or do I? I would rather trust myself at the moment.

What motivates me?


All the single days, times, moments, and things. That is my short answer. I think time is the most important for me; it stirs and pushes me to go ahead. Other things that motivate me are my family, friends, some dreams, visions, and other stuff..

I can feel people who I know always hope for my achievement. And they just watch and support me. The last time, when I was stagnated, I remember that they could only comfort my mind and soul (though religious things are helpful). Now I so badly want to return that same heart to them. So to do this, I know I need to achieve my goal and show them the result.

So, the first thing I have to do is manage my time. Time is fairly given to us and what I can do is to give my best shot every time.
If I have wings


Sometimes I imagine that I have wings on my back and on my career.. As I stated in my profile, I have come from Korea and studied Multi-media. The wings that I think of are to take me to and from Korea, and to equip my career..
It may be an awesome idea to have wings on everyone. Isn’t it? You can go anywhere you want; such as Latin America, Eastern Asia, or European countries. Currently, it is up to you (if you have money) to buy air tickets (which would obviously be replaced by physical wings).

But the wings on our careers are different from the wings we'd have on our backs. Those wings will not only take us anywhere we want, but also, any dream wouild come true. I do not want to explain anymore because you guys already know what I'm on about.. Am I right or what?
So I'll ask:
What are you doing now for your wings? Do you have a plan? Can you do that? Go ahead! Right now…….and if I had real physical wings, right now, I'd fly straight to Korea to shut my 'friend's mouth..

Write a list: the 10 most unexpected consequences of being online.



1. An old friend who I hardly remember sent me an email.
2. The friend already knows what I do, who I love, etc.
3. At the same time I am searching the friend’ profile.
4. Shortly after we start tweeting each other.
5. But we recognise that we cannot meet - because I am pretty far from Korea.
6. One day, this friend phoned me with Skype, and said “I will go to Cape Town next week”.
7. I sent him an email with tips on how to get a cheap flight ticket, along with various information of what there is        to enjoy while in South Africa.
8. I even booked him a bungy jump in the Garden Route; it's all on online.
9. I prepared several activities for him for one week. After one week, I tweeted  “where are you now? you are still at the airport?”
10. He just said “I am at home now”.
      The conclusion?  "Sorry, I want to stay with Korea…김허세 꺼져버려! <=". That is not slang.
