Before The Fall

Narrow Strait
[ 2 Comments #149941 ] Thursday November 02, @01:06PM

Chinese special envoy visited North Korea. Condoleezza Rice and South Korea and Japan counterpart met in South Korea recently to confirm their cooperative action. Here only lies just a very narrow strait between these countries. I hope their mutual differences also narrower.
Before The Fall

King Zedekiah reigned before the fall of Jerusalem in 587 BC. In his reign he emancipated slaves in the first place and soon after that he captured slaves again. When the society lost its dynamism the fall inevitably followed.
Maid Cafe In Akiba
[ 0 Comments #149937 ] Thursday November 02, @01:01PM

Nobody knows what 'Moe' in Japanese means. 'Moe' is palpitation, the inner feeling when spring comes. Ten something Japanese slashdotters held an annual meeting in a maid cafe for the first time this year. I was invited, of course I didn't go. Akiba is a famous district in Tokyo where lots of Otaku ( Nerd or geek ) get together.
American Managers
[ 3 Comments #149935 ] Thursday November 02, @12:56PM

One of professional baseball team Orix Blue Wave hired a new manager. His name is Collins from America. The manager of Nippon Ham Fighters is Trey Hillman from America, the manager of Chiba Lotte Marines is Valentine from America. The manager of Hiroshima Carp is Brown. Indeed four out of twelve managers of professional baseball team are going to be occupied by Americans. I am sure that generally American managers have more scientific data than domestic managers.
Deep Impact
[ 2 Comments #149931 ] Thursday November 02, @12:52PM

The race horse 'Deep Impact' is going to retire in this year. At the Ark of Triumph Cup in France the prohibited drug 'ipratropium' -medicine for treating asthma was detected. This medicine is not prohibited in Japan. We are not glad if it were the reality of its strength. I recall ' Haru urara '- the race horse always positioned last. This name means 'warm days in spring'.

Northern Territory
[ 0 Comments #149921 ] Thursday November 02, @12:40PM

That is small four islands at the end of festoon of Kuril islands. Japan is claiming these tiny islands belong to Japan, aside from its historical background, Russia now rules the region. It is alright to claim, but the colour of these four islands in Japan's atlas is red, which means Japan territory. As I mentioned the effective ruler is Russian over these islands. But because people have been taught that the islands belong to Japan, fishermen enter the area without noticing they are violating Russian law. Education ought to be based on reality, oughtn't to be based on wishful thinking.
'Around Situations'
[ 0 Comments #149917 ] Thursday November 02, @12:38PM

Japanese people don't like to mention something directly. They use circumvent way -'around situations' are nothing but a military action. Japanese politicians are arguing whether the nuclear test is an 'around situations'. One out of ten politicians say yes, but nine out of ten say 'no'. If yes, it will be a matter Japan's Self Defence Force concerns. They say 'defence', but usually people call it a war.
Mozilla
[ 2 Comments #149915 ] Thursday November 02, @12:36PM

The word Mozilla is a combination of Mobile and Godzilla, probably. Godzilla is a famous monster but few might know that Godzilla is a intermixture of Gorilla and 'whale' Whale? Yes, the Japanese word for whale is 'Kuzilla'. When I found the word 'Quizilla', and when I found the figure of Quizilla, I smiled. Because the figure of 'Quizilla' was so similar to 'Kuzilla' or whale. Word travels.

The Magic Of Five
[ 0 Comments #149907 ] Thursday November 02, @12:26PM

I often go to supermarket to buy something. Today they held 'a market at 5 o'clock', in which one item was so so cheap and many customers were buying it. In this supermarket, once or twice in a month they hold ' 5 percent off by using a credit card', many customers come and buy many items. 5, 5....at a glance when people see the figure 5, they might associate 50 percent discount, especially in Japan's terminology 5 ** means 50 percent discount, it is so ambiguous just the figure 5 means 5 o'clock, 5 percent off. People are easily disguised, people keep on coming without knowing why they come.

I went to the English circle with my love on Sunday. It is so natural for a guy whose age is already 45 to attend such a meeting with his wife. She is not a wife though. The rate of participants - total 31 people, female 23 people, male 8 peple. I feel content.

A Way To Resolution

For Use In Japan Only
[ 0 Comments #149897 ] Thursday November 02, @12:16PM

I always noticed how many items are only designed for use Japan only. That apparently protects Japanese domestic industry. Japan is for Japan's sake. Outside people cannot use such devices as designed only for Japan's product. If Japanese standard is very universal, there might be no serious problems. But the standard of this country is very different from other countries' standard. Thus 'For Use In Japan Only' means Japanese people are narrowing their possibility on their own. How pity for they don't realise what they are doing!
English Circle
[ 5 Comments #149895 ] Thursday November 02, @12:13PM

I'm going to attend one English circle later today. The regular meeting is held twice in a week, each is 2 hours length. Attendants are teachers, company interpreters, docters, and a writer -only me. The number of participants are roughly 20 to 30. Their way of speaking English differ from each other. Some are very America, very British, very educational standard, etc. My English is very British. It is just a great fun for us to have some hours only English is used. I might take my girlfriend to the meeting today. Those who got married tend to get together with their wives. Their wives can speak workable English, my girlfriend is learning how to speak English.
Fragile Society
[ 3 Comments #149893 ] Thursday November 02, @12:10PM

Japan is indeed incredibly fragile society. Japanese language is logically speaking almost all opposite to logical order. Phonetially speaking it is too simple to express complicated concept of many ideas. Scriptively speaking still it is a irrational combination of phonetic signs and ideograms- it is not an alphabet. In short Japanese language will die away. Society based on this illogicality must be fragile.

Hello ***,
Thank for for your instructions. First thing today I went to an Internet Cafe near my house. Firstly I was unable to see my inbox in the same way as in my personal computer, although I clicked 'inbox'.
All I saw was just blank. Then I clicked 'compose' instead of 'check mail' or 'inbox', then strangely enough I was able to see my inbox. I tried it many times then, but it was not always that I was able to see the list of inbox. I can often see only blank. Only occasionally I was able to see my inbox.
Back in my home, this time I was able to see my inbox just in one click. I was happy, then I closed all and tried it again. This time I was unable to see the contents of inbox again. After I tried it many times - six or seven times, finally I was able to see it. I believed something wrong has been mended since three days ago.
I started deleting many unread e-mails. I had 155. The domain of my account is com. so it cannot receive Japanese characters properly, but I had received many Japanese mails, many are commercial ones, and oftentimes Japanese characters are changed as the meaningless combination of signs, figures, and alphabet. Otherwise very long lines of complicated Chinese characters appeared, whichever they are I couldn't understand. We often refer to this phenomenon as 'trasfiguration of characters', so that might have caused clumsiness, slow performance, sometimes only blank, freeze of the screen.
After I deleted almost all vast unnecessary e-mails now I can get access to all e-mails properly. I intend to delete unecessary emails from now to keep my account clean.
I will consider the change of browser, my computer, ISP for future task, but now thank you very much for all your instructions.

It's Sunday today...I am free from any obligation today, free from job of course, free from dating with my girlfriend, etc. Besides it's very fine today. In short it's a perfect autumnal holiday.
About a week ago I declared that I won't see her. I don't intend to keep on our relationship any more. My attitude has been unchanged though, she asked me to see her. Last Tuesday we had date. We will have date with next Tuesday. I had date with her because she repeatedly asked me to see her and she told me she longed for meeting me.
Separation only in Slashdot, but in reality things will be slightly different.
I keep on seeing her mainly only for pure physiological reasons. But we don't live together, if our relationship continues as it is now, it's not a bad thing itself. Even though we turned out that we live in a different reality, still we need one thing to help one another, which itself is not a bad thing.

Summer 2006 was a very frustrating one. I wanted to love her more but only I found I was unable to.
But the summer was just over, the season of love and emotion is over now. Usually I spend many hours in reading and writing in autumn. The time has come to arrange my thought. My love lives still in a different city and it's just hard for us to see one another frequently.
She's coming to my room on 16th of September, till then I forget her and intend to devote myself to especially reading some of the classics. Let's arrange the things. Love is not the only thing that I've been in pursuit.

One word comes up in my mind....'treacle'. Originally it means 'antidote against venom'. I need treacle to oppose to venom, venom which is 'illusion' in my terms.
I don't hold any illusion. I only believe what I see, so I love her when she is present before me. Otherwise I don't love her. So I am unabble to love her in her absence. But I have to keep on loving her in order to see her at weekends. So for five days on weekdays she is nothing but an illusion. And I can't love illusions.

My summer is over. The season in love has just ended. I found my summer this year very frustrated. I was suffered more than I enjoyed. I had much longer period that I was unable to see her than I was able to see her. It's absurd, really absurd, and stupid. I was stupid not to realise the impossiblility of love between people in two cities.

I spent a happy weekend with my girlfriend. A bit mannerism we felt though it was a happy date.
We intend to keep on our relationship from now on. We spent happy two days but we have to endure another harsh weekdays. They will last full five days. I cannot get accustomed to this peculiar life pattern. From my nature I hope I can see her every day or I don't see her at all.
Next time I don't fall in love with a lady who lives other than my city. I am facing a risk of neurosis now. This is an expression of my very honest feeling. Another harsh week has just started.

She divorced some ten years ago and now lives with her 17 year old daughter. I have a place to live and a job here, mainly because she has to live with her minor daughter, she is unable to live with me. Her daughter will be 18 in February next year, and once she get independent she doesn't need to live with her mother/daughter. So she asked me to wait for her till her daughter be independent. Till around next February, she can't live with me.
She told me in her personal email that she's OK to see me just once in a week. She said she doesn't want me to move to her town. She said she has to rethink whether she can live with me in future if I moved to her town right now. She said she doesn't want me to move to her town, and she intend to move to my home after her daughter start living separately. She said she can put up with the situation right now.

From 10:30 p.m. on Saturday to 8:00 a.m. on Monday, we were together all the time. We spent two consecutive nights for the first time. I didn't write anything, I didn't read any thing. I just talked to her, ate with her, slept with her. As an ordinary person she was watching TV as usual. I wanted to be with her always so I watched it together. It was an wonderful exprerience to be with her for two whole nights and one day.
I felt as if I came back from the country called Japan when I stated listening to BBC and browsing Slashdot.
If I were asked from police which nationality I am, I undoubtedly tell them that I am a Slashdotter without hesitation.

Phoenix

Phoenix
[ 0 Comments #141753 ] Friday August 11, @09:16PM

I feel incredibly secured when I am with my love only because it is very natural as a woman and man in the middle of their forties.
We had to separate from our previous partners for some reason or other, and we cannot look them back. Past is past. Our previous partners must have maintained their private lives each.
I feel insecured when I am by myself. I live alone from Monday to Friday. I oftentimes feel irresistable to see my love. Of course I can't. The objective of my love outside the scope of my view is as if it were a dead, as a matter of fact I have been giving up her for dead during these hard weekdays.
I or we want to see her or one another everyday. I have no good idea how to solve this problem. Giving up her for dead for good is a perfect answer. She is as if Phonex. Phoenix itself is a good symbol. But I want to have a small bird every day, I don't need a Phoenix if I can only see it once in a week. I will see her tonight. I intend to talk about our situations.
The Scent Of Autumn
[ 2 Comments #141749 ] Friday August 11, @07:46PM

All these two weeks I was wearing nothing when in bed. No, no, I don't have a partner to sleep with in every night basis. I live alone. I only see my love one time in a week on weekends. I mean because it has been very hot these ten days or so, I took off all even if I went to sleep after I wore something. Besides I often open all the windows in my bedroom. Thanks for these treatment I had been able to sleep well until last night. So..last night was different. I was forced to wake up at 4:38 a.m. because I felt chilly from the air outside. Still I didn't have a blanket to cover with me, I had to keep on lying till 8:00 a.m. I fell asleep soon after midnight.
Before I started going out with her three months ago - before 24th of May, I had always gone to bed at 4:00 a.m. and woke up at 9:00 a.m. My life pattern started to change about one month ago, and now I often fall asleep soon after midnight and wake up at around 5:30 a.m.
Her lifestyle is similar to my current one. She usually sleeps sometime between 10 to 11 p.m. and wakes up at 6:30 a.m. I'm now in the middle of my forties and I lost all the loves in the past, but I was always living together throughout my thirties. I always get up earlier than my partner. My sleeping hours keep on being slightly over 5 hours. My partner usually keeps on sleeping 7 to 8 hours at least so I always wake up earlier if we start falling asleep together.
My lifestyle has been adjusting to this life pattern, I will sleep with her tonight and we fall asleep together, I will wake up at 5:00 a.m. and I intend to enjoy watching closely her sleeping figure and face. It's my secret pleasure.

When I asked her to sleep with me two months ago I had thought one time in a month is enough. Both she and I live in a dufferent city, so it is physically impossible to see every day but I thought it has nothing to do with our encounter, relationship, love in general.
But how about today's me? I am crying to want her. I have been crying since last time we met one week ago. I am about to lose my sense. I am in danger of collasping my temper. I am at risk.
I never love someone who lives at distance. This is very cruel, it is cruel summer this year.
One of the best ways to solve this problem is move to her town.

I stayed in her apartment for the first time. It was incredibly small according to both domestic and American standard. She lives with her 17 year old daughter. She was divorced ten years ago. Their incomes are so limited.
So I couldn't say it's very nice even as just a compliment though the landscape from the window upstairs is very beautiful. The apartment itself was located in rather high hill, we were able to see the vast rice field and the calm sea. So I said so and I said again ' In English we say 'command a fine view'. But she was unable to repeat it saying 'it's very difficult'.

This fee is according to Japan standard, it's very reasonable. We spend there enjoing the movies from 17:00 to 21:00. Both two movies were made in up-to-date topics and interesting to watch. I recall about 30 years ago he gave me two tickets saying sometimes how about relaxing since I was too busy studying. As if his spirit were alive inside the theatre.

MySpace Age
[ 4 Comments #140715 ] Friday July 28, @01:40PM

I noticed some of the User of MySpace com deliberately made a false statement as to their age. We could see sometimes a woman whose age is 99 years old but the real one is much younger. In the case of 99 years old, we usually notice the User has been making a mockery of us and we'd better not take their statement too seriously. But there are some cases we are unable to tell whether their statement is right or false if both two different ages are likely.
For example some User express their age as 49 at first and later in their profile in detail their age was 16. Either two cases are likely so we were just unable to decide which is correct.
In their first profile their ages are automatically renewed according to their birthdays and month, year. We don't have to change our age and age changes when their birthdays arrive. So what would happen after 50 years, after 100 years from now? Probably my age will be 95 years old, 145 years old automatically. Age counting in MySpace com doesn't make allowances for our real age, but keep on indicating how many years will have passed since our birthdays.
That is called 'MySpace age'. We were able to acquire eternal life on MySpace. Our age will last forever!

It was already four days ago when I wrote a journal here, the title of my journal was 'rain, rain, rain'. I was busy browsing MySpace.com for these four days to look for a beautiful woman. I am unable to see my love from Monday to Friday so I need to ease my lonliness by visiting other's sites on line. Today as had been these four days I tried to visit MySpace.com but I was unable to do owing to mechanocal problem in the site. The number of registered users right now in MySpace is nearly a hundred million. It was not in the least likely for MySpace to be overwhelmed by such a large number of new entries. It's still raining. It have been raining for over five or six days. MyIsland is about to be overwhelmed by tens of thousands of rainfall. But MySpace is not MyIsland. May MySpace last forever!

I recall a woman who I met in a foreigner's bar -The Big Apple, now it's gone, more than ten years ago. She was a nice person. One very late night I tried to touch her tabacco case, saying you smoke, aren't you or something. She was furious about me saying 'Don't touch it' with very loud voice. I was very amazed, and said I was just asking if she smokes. She said she extremely dislikes her any belongings to be touched by anyone. I thought she cannot be my friend any more. She might have thought that the act of touching changes the ownership, which is absolutely not.

'Please do not get back the books you read.' -at the University library I used every day.
Here in our country we are supposed to get back the books we read. I saw this notice every time I use a library, but I was unable to read it well. I kept on getting back the books into the bookshelves for nearly 6 months.

We are selling two different eels. One is 30 cm long, 7 cm width and the price is $7. The other one is 25 cm long, 5 cm width and the price is $10.
The only difference is one is made in China and the other is domestic made. I think the taste is completely the same but Japanese people prefer buying domestic ones, not imported ones.
Strangely enough the case of domestic eels is bigger and tough, that of imported eels is smaller and fragile, so there are a lot of room around the domestic eel in a case while almost no room can be found inside the case of imported eels. I thought it strange and I proposed my manager to change the cases being used by each eel.
'Imported eels are bigger so we ought to use bigger and tougher cases for them. Domestic ones are smaller and we ought to use smaller cases.' My manager's explanation was this. 'It's according to their prices, not their size.'
Of course I don't believe such an excuse. I think domestic eels are smaller but more expensive so we need to show that they are more splendid by using a luxury case, I think that's all.

Whatever the kinds of job we do, it is often necessary for us to carry a pen. For my part too I must carry a pen. But I don't like to carry a pen. Because I always lose my pens after I finish working in the day. I carried a pen today because especially I was told to do so. I had thought that I lose my pen and in fact I noticed I lost my pen when I finished working.
Probably I think I don't have to carry two pens. Next time I need to connect the one in some part of my trousers. A bit embarassed though I do.

We'd better refer to several versions when reading a Bible. Two extremes that are too paraphrased and too literal ought to be ignored. Besides in the case of controversial terms we'd better trace back to its original word -Hebrew, Aramic, or Koine, then usually we can reach the similar meaning which ought to be an optimal choice. I found three or four versions are quite similar, as long as I take the middle of the road of translation, I am sure I can grasp the notion of passages, I hope...

One word in one language has several meanings, so we must replace it in several different words according to the context the word was used. If you automatically replace one word in one language to other word in other language, I must say it is a bad translation. Again, this is not a matter of consistency, instead, we have to change the word of translation depending on the context.

Who Jacob Struggled With?

Who Jacob Struggled With?
2007.05.03 2:55

I read this part of Genesis 32:22-32 some year ago and I took it for granted that Jacob wrestled with God and later Jacob started being called Isreal because of this incident since Israel means in Hebrew 'he struggles with God'.
I just wondered why angel instead of God when I found many arts titled 'Jacob Wrestled With Angels'. Was someone interpret it angel from the context? But judging from the later flourishment of Jewish 12 tribes from Jacob, I think it's natural to think the one who fought with Jacob was God.

This dichotomy was needed in institutionalised belief like that of Roman Cathoric, Greek Orthodox, Protrestant. They needed to instruct each worshipper in their teachings. The introduction of some Archangles certainly helped explain the importance of moral values.
Constantine desperately needed to unify various thoughts to one and in the First Council of Nicaea in 325, his attempt was almost completely succeeded, yet small gnostic streams have survived from then on. His success was epochmaking since Paul had warned us not to make sects within a congragation.

Traditionally these three people had been translated as three wise men or philosophers from the east, so till you let me know I didn't particuraly even mind these people were actually Zoroastrian priests from Persia. I would have noticed its pagan origin if it were written down as Magi. Probably translaters from the original Greek started hiding its origin unintentionally as a worshipper of an established religion of Christianity.
The preaching history of early Chrisianity started from the fierce struggle with then already established religion Judaism, so it's agreeable for us to see three people not Pharisees but Zoroaster priests.

Christianity is needless to say a monotheistic religion. There's one God who is almighty. But indeed as a matter of fact this religion includes many aspects from religions in the past prior to them. One of main themes in Zoroasterism is the struggle between good and evil, and this theme was embraced in Christianity later. Besides I believe the existence of many spiritual beings as Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Seraphim, Cherubim, Ophanim, etc. are an evidence that the monotheism was developed from the tradition of polytheism in the past. In fact, description of archangels abruptly started appearing after the exile in Babylon. At that time monotheism was not common in Babylon.

Seraphim & Cherubim

Seraphim & Cherubim
2007.05.01 3:06

There's only one description in the Old Testament as to Seraphim, which is in Isaiah 6:1-3. It has six wings, in which two wings for flying, two for covering head, two for covering feet. Compared with Seraphim, there's more occurence of Cherubim. Genesis 3:24 mentions there are cherubim in front of the gate of garden of Eden. Exodus 25:18 also shows the word, but that was Ezekiel who wrote concrete description about cherubim. Cherubim were located before the palace of Babylon when Ezekiel was exiled. This happens to coincide the fact that the garden of Eden was thought to be located in Mesopotamia. The word cherubim is Assyrian origin. They had four wings and four faces -human, lion, bull, and eagle.
The relationship between Archangels and seraphim& cherubim is uncertain, but I think it's natural for us to think Archangels are superior to seraphim & cherubim. Archangels includes Michael, Gabriel and Raphael. Michael appears in Book of Daniel 10:13,21 and 12:1, Gabriel appears in 8:16 -25, 9:21 in the same book -Daniel. Cherubim, Seraphim, Gabriel, Michael are definately Babylonian origin. Both Ezekiel and Daniel were exiled writer, but I'm not so certain as to seraphim. Besides who was the one who fought with Jacob, a man, angel or God? The existence of various angels confirmed us to see there's polytheism tradition in the past.

There are some private school that were found by Christian missionaries. I understand the trinity is the main teaching regardless of whether we are Catholic, Protestant, or Orthodox, so whatever the denominations those Christian missionaries were based on, students who were taught in those schools might take it for granted there's a divinity in Jesus. Since no major Christian denominations do preaching work, there's no chance for the general public to know the teaching of trinity unless they learned it in those schools. So the general public who encountered Jehovah's Witnesses in their house to house preaching work are highly likely to believe they are the 'true' Christian as they insisted.

Jehovah's Witnesses

Jehovah's Witnesses
2007.04.29 5:03

They believe in 'earthly resurrection', their belief is we can resurrect after we died and are discompsed fully on the earth. There are many descriptions of resurrection immediately after their death in Bible. But I don't believe we resurrect after we are cremated or discomposed.
Their refusal to transfusion is also their unique belief. There are some descriptons which prevent us from eating blood in Bible, but there's no direct prohibition in regard to transfusion. They extend the teaching to transfusion.
Despite such differences, I feel symphathy with them very much. They are very nice. I like their nature very much. I think they have their own raison d'etat to stay in the face of 'everything' materialistic world.

New World Translation

New World Translation
2007.04.29 4:30

I obtained a tiny Bible called 'New World Translation' from a friend of mine who belongs to Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, who is an assistant professor in some college. I tried browsing it a little but I didn't realise it is particular as some slashdotter pointed out in my previous JE. This Bible is translated from the viewpoint of unity of God as opposed to trinity, but for me this is not so important. They use 'God's active force' instead of using 'The Spirit of God' and 'obeisance' instead of 'worship' in regard to the feeling toward Jesus. These differences don't make many differences unlike many Western people might feel.
They use 'torture stake' instead of 'cross'. This is also not very important.
This translation was thought to be done by only one person -Frederick Franz, and probably with little help by other 4 people in the committee, which is what I think it anazing. I read Bible in New International Version. This translation was done by 115 scholars from various dominations including many Protestant beliefs in America, but New World Translation was done exclusively only for Jehovah's Witnesses. This translation is chewy, and tasty, I like its uniqueness.

MySpace Age
[ #140715 ] Friday July 28, @01:40PM

I noticed some of the User of MySpace com deliberately made a false statement as to their age. We could see sometimes a woman whose age is 99 years old but the real one is much younger. In the case of 99 years old, we usually notice the User has been making a mockery of us and we'd better not take their statement too seriously. But there are some cases we are unable to tell whether their statement is right or false if both two different ages are likely.
For example some User express their age as 49 at first and later in their profile in detail their age was 16. Either two cases are likely so we were just unable to decide which is correct.
In their first profile their ages are automatically renewed according to their birthdays and month, year. We don't have to change our age and age changes when their birthdays arrive. So what would happen after 50 years, after 100 years from now? Probably my age will be 95 years old, 145 years old automatically. Age counting in MySpace com doesn't make allowances for our real age, but keep on indicating how many years will have passed since our birthdays.
That is called 'MySpace age'. We were able to acquire eternal life on MySpace. Our age will last forever!

Cause - Revenge Is Prior To Loyalty
[ #139590 ] Wednesday July 12, @01:34PM

1582 at Honnoji, Kyoto, Akechi's treachery against Nobunaga was belived to be taken place. Nobunaga was a master and Akechi was a subordinate, so this is a treachery definitely.
But on the reason why Akechi fought against his master was very unknown to us. Just unknown.
Akechi's mother was given as a hostage in their opponent. Usually Nobunaga helps his subordinate's mother, but he didn't. As a result Akechi's mother was killed by their opponent. Revenge for parents is more than loyalty to masters. So Akechi killed Nobunaga for the more great cause.
Indeed Akechi was belived to be killed. But no one saw his decapitated head. He was thought to be spared and become a monk in Hiei Mountain in Kyoto. He was thought to be alive for many years but this fact was stricktly kept secret. In public his death took place before his natural death.
He was spared for the great cause.
Death

What is sleep? It is like death. Sleep is useless. -Da Vinci
For me there's no similarity between sleep and death, though, there is a connection between death and separation. She lives in my memory only from her age 15 to 23. After last time we met in Trecca, she left my mind for good. Definitely she is alive somewhere with someone. But for me her death took place when we were 25 or 23. She has been dead since then. So even if she might be alive or dead, it has nothing to do with my life. Her death took place before her natural death.
I lived with my ex-ex-girlfriend from 1999 to 2001 for about two years. For those two years she was alive in my life everyday. But after we separated, she hasn't been a part of my life, she's dead before her natural death.
I'm a writer. I wrote tens of thousands of manuscripts back from age 10. Manuscripts from age 10 to 11 remains in my notebook, but manuscripts from 14 to 16 were gone forever, so even though my writing carrer was lasting from 10 to 16, I must say I was dead from 14 to 16, since no writings left, no life. Literary speaking I only lived from 10 to 11 and 16 to 19.
From age 20 to 38, I hadn't left anything written in any language, so again I had been dead for 18 years. Abruptly I started writing from 38 to now, so I am alive for these 8 years. Many ordinary people stop working around 60 and retired. After their retirement, some people only exist for existing purposes. some time after their retirement, they will die. But their death took place before their natural death. Oftentimes their natural death doesn't mean anything for us. Many people are dead before their natural death.

I was supposed to get off the station whose name is the very place where I wanted to visit, but I was unable to find the very name in the very place I visited.
After a while, I noticed there's a white place where no description was found in and around there since it's white.

On the 2nd of July before her leaving my city I said to her, 'I am unable to see you until 29th of July. I have an interview.' I knew it's not going to be any excuse I am unable to see her. We can come and go between two cities by using Shinkansen in just 18 minutes. The only problem is its cost 20.5 bucks for one ride. It's not very expensive though we always have to spend about 40 bucks automatically, it's costly.
Before her leaving my city, she showed a drop of lachryma deep inside her eyes. I had no reason I missed fluctuation of her mind. Of couse I wanted to see her, but only because of the cost I spend I thought it hard to keep on seeing even once in a week. Now I gave up my vanity and we started seeing in my room. We made a meal and ate. It cost very less.
Her lachryma was as tiny and pretty as pearl in the Aegean Sea. It was indeed a crystalisation of her emotion. Her lachryma made me confirm that her sincerity toward me is genuine. Lachryma is great.

We live far away so we cannot see one another every day. Before leaving my city, she uttered to me that she was about to give up having a new boyfriend because of her age -46. I said 'It's also for me. Love affairs can make when two of us think one another irreplaceable.'

I thought he slipped because the vinyl sheet was so slippy in rain. But the fact was more than that.
I was amazed to find the words on the sticker. It read 'Underground Entrance.' This was probably caused by the power of letters on it.

[ #138991 ] Monday July 03, @02:58PM

In my fictitious world I wanted to say in front of smokers that it is your privilege to smoke here, but it's not your right. They will reply to me with a smile,' oh, it's my especially admitted right, thank you. I enjoy my privilege.' I would reply,' right is prior to privilege. ' They might not be able to understand what I mean.
Kids
[ #138983 ] Monday July 03, @01:42PM

She is 46, and it will take 2 or 3 years to face menaupose. Physiologically speaking it is still possible for her to have babies. She said around after two weeks are in danger. 'Danger of what?' 'Danger of pregnacy' To tell the truth we'd like to enjoy sex, but we don't want to have burden of childraising, let alone childbearing. So naturally we have to think about the way of contraception. Taking a pill is not common in our country unlike other advanced countries. I said I don't ejaculate in to her body. We don't want kids. Kids have nothing to do with our love. sometimes it strengthen our love, but other way around, it lessens our love.
The meaning of marrige has been changing a great deal since my younger days. In my twenties it was nothing but a crystalisation of love in spiritual meaning. In my mid thirties it has economical meaning more than anything. Now in my mid forties I am about to conclude that marriage is for two opposite sexes to have sex act exclusively. Hegel once wrote it so. For those who have got no kids it is very true.

Whether the nature of God is trinity or unity belongs to theology, not a faith.

Authenticity

Authenticity
2007.04.24 2:11

According to some sources mainly in Wikipedia, Romans, First and Second Corinthians, Galatians, Philipians, First Thessalonians, Philemons were actually written by Paul, the authenticity of other letters believed to be written by Paul is uncertain.
Paul was an Apostle, not a political leader like Moses, or King like David, Solomon, or prophet like Jeremiah, so my question is why there have to be someone who had to write under the false identification of Paul, was there any merit? Or is the entire argument based on just an ambiguous speculation?

Two Options

I found your comment today! while I was browsing my past journal. I had two options, which are either I left unanswered or reply. I chose to reply.

Two Options[ #138568 ] Tuesday June 27, @02:24PMSo here is the picture of Takoyaki. This food is very common anywhere in Japan, so like famous Ramen shops, delicious Takoyaki shop tends to attract many customers. So naturally I wanted her to have the one in one of the delicious Takoyaki shops in Kokura. Used to be lots of customers but we were unable to find them other than us. It was just over 21 o'clock. Many people were on the street. The taste turned out not as good as it used to be. The price was still the same. I don't visit there any more. On the other hands, the Ramen shop we visited over midnight was a full of customers in spite of the late time we arrived. And the taste was just the same as Kokura Ramen's, very exact and delicious one. We were satisfied with it. I intend to visit again whenever I am hungry. That Takoyaki shop -they used to use the most expensive oil and flour and very fresh Octopus and cabbage, they didn't use the rest of fried materials to fill the stuff of the ball. Everything changed from high to ordinary, the price was still 4.5 dollars though. There are two options for all.

He went with two young comedian types, and they sat at the table and cooked them themselves. Two weeks ago, I would have just watched and wondered about that dish, but since reading your journal, I knew what it was that they were eating! Reading your journal is educational, how about that? :)

This dish is so common in Osaka. Every household there has a Takoyaki cooker. How about introducing it in U.S.?

Hope you have a good day.

A Shining Cock

A Shining Cock
[ #138980 ] Monday July 03, @01:15PM

I cleaned up every nook and cranny of my room so that I welcome my girlfriend. But I didn't clense stains in a cock of sewage. While I was away in downstairs for a few minutes, she was clensing a cock with a sponge and I saw it shining. Every time I saw the shining cock in my room, I feel gratitude. I hope she always keeps on clensing a cock.

I'm not sure what you mean by "cock," but I wanted to let you know that in the US "cock" is slang for penis.

Carmenere

Carmenere
[ #138979 ] Monday July 03, @01:04PM

One day in June, I crossed my 45th anniversary, so my girl friend gave me a present. She asked me what I would like, and I said I like red wine. She told me she didn't know about wine. So we ended up looking for her present in wine shop. I found a wine produced from Carmenere -one of the rareset kinds of grape. I said 'It's cheap but still it's very tasty. We don't have to spend lots of money to have a good wine. We can find cheap but tasty wine a lot if we knew a bit about wine.'
Knowlege is power.


Show Her Beauty Off
[ #138974 ] Monday July 03, @12:41PM

Before she visited my house, she repeatedly insisted that she wants to visit my office. Of course we cannot visit inside my office, but still we can visit there as customers. She has insisted before she came to my house.
So we went to my office as a customer.
She is 46, but of course very pretty.That's why I fell in love with her. Many colleages amazed to look at us. I was reluctant to enter the premises before the entrance. But I decided to enter the premises after she told me that I mind a strange point. After we got out of the shop, I was very proud of my being with my girlfriend. Probably she wanted to let them know how my girlfriend looks. She is a very confident woman.
It's a bit topsy-turvy today's office. Many people told me it's unbeliebable I was able to get such a pretty woman. (I was known to be a holder of very unique personality among colleagues.) Other comments were her face is like a child's, her character seems strong, etc.


Again Red Day
[ #138889 ] Saturday July 01, @02:54PM

Tonight was her red day again. About one month ago on the 3rd of June, it was her red day too. Last time I felt it lucky. Becuase I will be the father of our baby in future. But this time I am not so sure whether I feel lucky. I will be the father of our baby, on the other hand, that red also indicates she is not pregnant yet at least that disappoints me.


It's Rainy Outside
[ #138887 ] Saturday July 01, @02:25PM

Saturday night. It's rainy outside, and it's unbeliebably quiet around my house. Tonight I am with my love in my house. For many reasons I didn't let any girlfriend visit my house. I had a feeling that the case with them was not serious, it was just a play. So I just didn't let them come to my house. This time I am very serious, so I invited her to my house. Right now she's sleeping next to my room. I hope she would be able to keep on staying.

Fortune-telling

Fortune-telling
[ #138590 ] Tuesday June 27, @05:10PM

My love age 45 is just an ordinary woman, last time we met she told me that a fortune-teller told her that she gets a boyfriend at age 46 and she said it was true since she got a boyfriend.
I am not sure whether the fortunetelling is really telling about the future, but one thing is clear. She might have acted according to what the fortune-teller told her. Then she said yes to me, everything started from her conviction to the fortune-telling.

Last year, I had my tarot cards read and the focus of the reading was on whether or not I should get a new job. 9 months later (9 being a very important number to me) I got a new job. I don't know whether it was that the reading was predicting the future, or the reading planted a seed in my mind that caused me to take actions to get the new job.

Hey mercedo - can I bother you for some translation? I've a korean song I'm want to translate, but I can't find a good korean to english translation tool. HOWEVER, I found someone who had translated the song from korean into japanese. I have a japanese to english tool that is better than the korean to english, but still not great. If you have some spare time, I'd appreciate if you could have a look at this:http://www.turboclub.net/song/?song=FinKL-White&vi ew=xr [turboclub.net]Thanks :-)

Gion Festival
[ #138580 ] Tuesday June 27, @04:11PM

We are going to have Gion Festival from 14th to 16th of July. So I plan to visit the festival with her on 15th of July. Those dates coincide the belief that the dead of our ancesters came home to visit their offsprings during these days. I don't know about the belief of samsara -reincanation, just I am sure the sound of drums reminds me the spirit of our ancesters well. When we hear the sound of it, we welcome summer really.


My Former Residence
[ #138577 ] Tuesday June 27, @03:54PM

I took her to see my former house in Kokura. She said 'It was rather located near the noisy road.'
Though all residensial area is located at the foot of mountain -so backyards are full of woods, my former house was adjacent to noisy road. I was there from age 6 to 20. I believe almost all what I am now are derived from my nature, though, I don't think all the environments I were in have nothing to do with what I am.


Messy
[ #138572 ] Tuesday June 27, @03:11PM

My room was very messy till yesterday. It took about five hours to arrange my belongings inside the room. My room was now alright for guests to visit. I haven't had any guests in my room for two years. If she had come here before I arranged them in the room, she might have considered I am out of sanity. Everything here was in disorder. I had been dedicating to reading and writing all the time I was in my room, so I just didn't care what's what in my room.


Labels
[ #138571 ] Tuesday June 27, @02:53PM

A driver who sticks a young leaf sticker is often called a beginner. A taxi drivers needs more advanced licence. If you think a beginner driver is poor and a taxi driver is good at driving, that is so misleading. Some beginner drivers are so deliberate because they just start driving on the road, but others are so dangerous because of the same reason. The same applied to the cases of taxi drivers. We have to examine what's genuine or bogus without relying on the labels they use. The labels tell nothing.
