about the blog

we all have different ideas about the same reality that we occupy. perhaps it is not possible for us to agree on all things but that should not stop us from trying to coalesce around the scant few we do have consensus upon.

there are many ideas in this blog. some you may like, others will infuriate you. i think all one can reasonably ask for is civility in both our agreement or otherwise.

私の未来に向けては永遠に日本で住みたいと思う。日本がこの短い7年間で俺のこころのふるさとになりました。

Never in a million years would I have believed I would be living in Japan. Blind luck seems to have brought me to this place that has made itself a home in my heart. Wait...that sounds wrong...

Societal vertigo has the power to destroy individuals and as a consequence entire nations.

We often talk about "losing everything" as being particularly painful. Knowing where everything you desire is and still not being able to find it is a level of torment that satan himself would be jealous of.

When we say “home” it is really hard to define what we mean. Often times it is simply the place we feel most comfortable, no matter how alien that place may be to you. 

I am not really sure how far I will get with this but I am determined to give it my best shot. Hopefully it all turns out ok.
