Piece of Meat posted by Richard Seymour
An auld acquaintance of mine has started blogging . It should prove interesting if you want to know what its like teaching English in South Korea and living near the future site of World War IV. As he explains:I am now living in a foreign land, full of foreign people, full of exotic, spicy, shit-inducing food, and is this not worth some public reflection? Is this not worth putting my thoughts out for all to digest, for the furtherment of understanding of nations, the bonding of international brotherhood, working people's solidarity, and world peace? Horseshit, I know, but if you've made it this far, you've already clicked on the link, so I better stop waffling and get to it.
He is (was?) a member of a comedy theatre outfit called Piece of Meat , which originated in Seattle, but then sold out and moved to LA. There it won a substantial fan base and critical acclaim . So what the fuck he's doing in South Korea is mysterious to me. At any rate, he's too funny for his own good and when the revolution comes (as it must) he will probably be shot. Of course, coming from Seattle, he may actually prefer to do the job himself...
Check him out.
