With just a press of a button, almost every channel on your television will be broadcasting the ongoing progress of the war. And what a fine cast we have in front of us. You have the trigger happy advocates of war who will gladly exterminate anyone for ... wait, what`s the reason? who cares. Let`s kill. Then you have the bouyant protesters who believe their cause-worthy demonstrations actually do influence the governing powers at large because of course their freedom of speech will send huge ripples across the political surface of American water. And who can forget the always reliable and veracious media sources who fuel their vehicles on their studio lot with false pretenses so that can drive home content.

I have my own opinion about this war just like everyone else, but honestly, I can`t fully state anything but what I know and right now I do not agree with our beloved President. Yes, I know he is a genius and a man of true virtue, (as was the unibomber) but I am not going to judge Bush by his character, but more by his actions.... Wait, that is unless his character can be blamed for his tunnel vision. Supporters of war think Saddam (and indirectly Iraq) must be destroyed because of.... wait, wait, this is really pivotal...drum roll please... Violations of former UN resolutions! No, sorry let me rephrase that. I meant former UN RESOLTUIONS. See! Now that the letters are Upper-cased, it sounds much more sensible.

I am not opposed to war when war is needed, but I don`t think now is the right time. On the same note, I am not advocating Iraq or denying the possibility that they might be linked with terrorism, but the reason to this war just does not make sense to me. At least not the excuses proposed by Bush and his minions. Like the U.S. has nothing to hide when it comes to adhering to UN regulations and policies, right? Oh no, never. (give em the bambi eyes Bushy boy)

I have so much more to say, but I won`t just because this has been the only topic nowadays... a little depressing. For one thing, living in Japan gave me the opportunity to see a less biased view of the war... although the media here is affected by rampant propaganda and censored information as well. Anyway, just had to record my thoughts. Let`s hope this craziness is over soon.

What up all. You know, I was in the shower this afternoon (yes, afternoon- I got up late cuz i was up late)...But anyway, I was in the shower and thought of something. Some people may think four months is a long time (I know it is for some of my friends and their relationships heee). But, that is the amount of time I have left in Japan. I have been enjoying my stay here, not because of the partying because that can be done anywhere, but because of the overall ambiance and atmosphere that enwraps and defines Japan.

Is it possible to really miss something when it is not gone yet? Dayamn straight, as long as you still appreciate that thing. For me, I already miss Japan even though I am still here. I know I know. I sound like an overly attached boyfriend who packed too much emotional luggage for what`s supposed to be a weekend getaway, but that is how I feel. Maybe I will have a different standpoint as time passes and my stay here draw to a near end, but I just wanted to express my moments thoughts and reflection. Like most things, time will be the factor that will wash my current feelings away, or perhaps exponentiate it. Good Lo. =I

Anyway, I also thought about a lil somethin somethin in the shower as well. It`s short and sweet, but something to think about and maybe eat. So get your bib and don`t be afraid to dig in, or at least let the dog have it.

Revelation can lead to realization,
Only when subjugation brings differentiation.
This is not my connotation aimed for provocation,
To those who have a relation with stagnation,
But merely a simple reminder
To the inured and unwiser,
Whomever he or she may be
Definitely including me.

Alright, forgetting my login password to this blog might be a somewhat strong indicator that I may not be posting as frequently as I thought I had been. But better to have a blue moon than to not have one at all, so I`m going to try and dimly illuminate what`s been going on recently with my life in the East.

Thailand with Dzuy and the Waseda fellas was an excursion that can`t be fully described with mere words. So instead of filling this web space with superfluous and verbose descriptions, let me condense my summary of the trip.

Arrived at the airport three hours too early, Took off two hours late, Crashed at a place supposed to be KhaoSan. Taximan, you Liar. Met Mr. Tuk Tuk himself, Saw more Buddhas than a Buddhist, Haggled to look like HUGO BOSS. 13 hour train ride, Too many bites and we aren`t taking about fishing. Saw a moon who was fed well by his parents while we... what did we do?, Met self-reliant female students, Met guys who despised apples. Boat ride to the BEACH (No Gangs of New York here). Shared a bungalow with Mary J, Wore our birthday suits except for one poor Vietnamese gimp (haha). Went to a place full of Krabs but no Lobsters. Indian Canoe, Go faster Dumbo! Another train ride back to vibrant red lights, Became trigger happy, Saw markswomen shoot balloons down, Give me a stronger Pepto Bismol you Nurses! Went to a glass stage filled with 9:00`s leftovers (Yuck). Became Gumby, Shopped like housewives during a sale, Arrived at the airport two hours too early, Took off $500 dollars richer.

I know this probabaly makes no sense to anyone unless of course you are one of the fellas who went on this trip. And yes, there are more stories I could recap, but just like what happens during spring break, some things should just stay in the very place it happened.

Todays overall message kids = go and visit Thailand if you get the chance. They have something for everyone, and I sincerely mean that. Maybe you will meet some of the people or see some of the things my friends and I did. Or maybe if you are lucky, you WON`T see some of the things we did. hee. As for my plans, things have somewhat calmed down now so I will be back to a more routine-like schedule, waltzing with Japanese books. Dancing with Life the way I had been did nothing but cause my wallet to yack too much.

Diagnosis set, Noone will get, you more than yourself. Take the reigns of your life, steer yourself away from strife, to a place your soul longs to embark towards, you`ll soon hear the chords, of Life lift your spirits, as your heart sings its own lyrics.
