Korea

So I am in Korea now. Yeah, I know, it's crazy. I know no one really reads this but I like to pretend like I have some kind of audience that follows my work. In any case a lot has happened since the last time you checked in.

My band fell apart. It was an unfortunate experience. I did not want to lose my band or my band-mates. We are still on friendly terms as the breakup was done more or less amicably. However, with the dissolution of the band, the one thing keeping me bound to that location, I knew I had to move on. So I did what anyone would do, and I immediately joined a training program to get me into Korea for teaching and within three months of my band's breakup I had started my job in Korea.

Of course, I felt like I had wasted years of my life. I put everything on hold with the silly belief that maybe something could happen with the band. Like, we could "hit it big" or some such thing. Honestly, I never believed we would be a top-tier band travelling the world, but I did think it was possible for us to be a slightly less than top-tier band travelling to other places.

I know I said that I felt like I wasted years of my life, and maybe I did, but I do not regret it. I know that if I didn't give it a full shot, then I would have always wondered what could have been. I could have been that guy from that semi-successful band that played some shows at various places. That would have impressed many of ladies, I'm sure. In any event, I don't lament my decision to stay home because it has provided me valuable experience and some moderately interesting stories.

It was actually pretty convenient timing. I left the country right as Donald Trump got elected. Although, I do worry a little about being somewhere else in the world when a toddler is in charge of the largest military in the world via Twitter. Although, it must be said that the president here in South Korea was just impeached for corruption and such so I guess it just doesn't matter where you go.
