Almost There...

To be quite honest with you, I've had nothing to blog about lately. There is much that I think about on a day-to-day basis that I'm sure you'd trade your soul to Woland to discover. However, this blog is a simple blog. It is not my wish to transform this theater of thought into a chaotic, multi-thread forum where you receive my opinion on a certain topic and choose to steadfastly agree with me or excoriate me on what has become such a ridiculous arena as the internet.

Instead, I would rather post random pictures and bestow unto you some very interesting and very TRUE stories that have happened to me... (this will be the format of this blog from now until the day that I start working my new job which I have not yet been able to acquire...)



One day I brought home a stray cat. The week before I left Japan, my soccer friends were having a barbecue on the beach in honor of my imminent departure, and there was much drinking and gratuitous nudity involved (no pictures available). When a friend picked me up to take me home, I smuggled the little creature in my backpack so that it wouldn't get noticed. They say that the consumption of alcohol makes your brain compute unpredictable, out of the ordinary thought processes. In the act of drinking large quantities of Japanese beer, I somehow determined that it would be an acceptable thing to decrease the possibly ten-thousand strong population of stray cats by one.

When I got home, I promptly named him Yoshiki (芳樹). Then I captured a large grasshopper from outside and introduced him to his would-be executioner. While Yoshiki fumbled around my apartment trying to subdue the unfortunate arthropod into a state of morbidity, I continued to drink large quantities of beer until I was aggressively summoned by friends to join them at US BOWL, a local bowling alley/karaoke bar/batting cage/arcade establishment. The night went as according to plan.

The next day after receiving legitimate advice from friends, and after truly weighing the possibilities, I decided it would be best to return Yoshiki to the original extraction point near the car park at Shizuki-yama.

I wonder if he is still alive, but at the same time rest peacefully that I got to know him, and shared with him a delightful moment in time.
