hmmm...well, I went to the harry potter movie the other day, and I must say that Japanese movie theaters are rather strange, or maybe I should say scary? They had some english speaker speaking in this uber creepy (stalker) voice, saying very odd things....while I can't remember the things he said, they were very.....*ahem* well anyways, I went ice skating yesterday, and I skated for 4 hours, and I must say that I'm paying the price for it today. The fact that I ran into someone while I was skating backwards certainly didn't help me....considering I FELL backwards....while I should have payed more attention, I noticed that the japanese people that were skating NEVER payed attention to what was going on around them...this is a bad habit considering that when theres lots of people on the ice you HAVE to pay attention to whats going on around you (no matter how good you are) But I guess most japanese people just think their so good that they don't need to, even though good skaters DO pay attention.....I must say that although falling backwards really jacked up my lower back, it was QUITE amusing to have watched the other person fall forwards....
5 strange habits of mine....
1) I have 2 fake teeth that I like to scare random people with...
2) I like to practice footwork and dodging through people when I'm in crowds...
3) When I'm around more than one person, I overflow with energy, almost like I'm stealing other peoples'...
4) I like to practice hand eye coordination with a ball and string, and practice increasing my stamina by carrying heavy things...including people...
5) I lose interest in things fast...
extra: I enjoy coveting my inner workings...
Lately Iv'e been very nonchalant about school and life in general....I don't know if it's because I'm in a foreign country or if it's another reason, but nothing seems to bother me lately, and I don't really care about much...I failed my last phonetics and phonology test because I didn't study and I thought 'oh well', while I know what I'm about to say is an oxymoron, it's true......My noncaring attitude scares and worries me, in a very noncaring sort of way....I know that doesn't make any sense, but sometimes words aren't good enough....I've been thinking to myself, what am I doing in Japan if I'm just going to slack off, there's a lot of people who would 'die' to be in my postion, and my family is so proud of me for being here and having been accepted. I wish I had magic pill to make me care more xd I guess it's like my number 5 strange habit, I lose interest in things fast....Also I heard that my grandfather is not doing so well and that he's in an electric wheelchair, and he's destroying the house with it. He's a wonderful man, but he really is rather selfish....he should think of how his behavior affects my grandmother......but I don't think he is going to live much longer, and I don't know how that makes me feel. I wonder if I will have to end up returning to America for a funeral....I love him, but I sometimes wonder if he would be happier 'at peace', he's always saying to me "Brandon, one of these days I'm going to take a goddamn rifole and blow my goddamn brains out" I never know what to say to this, because he's destructive not only to himself but others around him. I'm pretty sure he's not even aware of this fact though...he's much like a child who throws a tantrum because he didn't get the 'right' toy during christmas(even though all the presents were carefully thought out and lovingly given), not realizing how hurtful that behavior is to others around him...
Well anyways, enough about that, I feel long winded, and like an old man now...so I'm going to say a good evening, good morning and good afternoon to the next who reads this, even if it's me....
