Mad World

A strange song I listen to too much.

Anyways, this is another rant, you'll get a lot of bi-polar stuff from me now. I'll probably even let the political correctness slide, down a vertical ice hill into a firey pit of spikes, or maybe not. Anyways, annoy me all you want, this is MY, SUBJECTIVE blog. If you want a different one, why are you reading this?


So, to start things off, I've about thirty-six days left. Memories of a place I've come to know as home are now a daily event. A sound, a feeling, a scene, it's as though my mind is slowly coming home in preperation for my body.

I'm buying gifts for friends, to whom I say don't expect much and don't worry about price, but if you have a request I'll see to it.

I already have plans for the twenty-third and -sixth, and I hope to keep busy.


Anyways, Japan.

A few days ago 肉 and I went around 金沢 (does the 漢字 bother you guys?) looking for something to do. We found nothing.

In short, 金沢 has many crappy and overpriced clothing stores. Japn's fashions include misusing Ingerish and turning lolita to emo.
Karaoke is fun.
Arcades are expensive, fighting games are probably the cheapest so long as you're not facing an otaku. UFO catchers are well rigged.
金沢 is famous for its many bars, but we're not drinking age here.
A girlfriend might have been nice, but I've seen a lot of long-distance relationships fail in the past while.
I don't know of any maid cafes or brothels around here (despite being legal age, I'm kidding, well, actually I haven't found any, I'm kidding about going)
The Game Freaks I went to had too few games, a decent computer, lots of manga and most people seemed to be using the booths for porn. You almost have privacy, maybe a good place for an otaku girlfriend(?).
Get a Tsutaya card for renting movies.
On exchange here you'll have either too much or no time depending on whether you join a club. Either way, good luck.

The next day we went to 富山 for the chartering of a new Rotary club. We went early to explore and look through book shops. We found free bike rentals and went about it. Ironically, though I had four maps, 富山 is so stright forward I had trouble navigating it. Usually I use different shapes in roads, strange angle turns and such to find out where I am. 富山 has three main roads running from the station and a whole lot of perpendicular roads. We did manage to make it to one decent store, but even putting the staff to use, we couldn't find anything. Though I came up with a new game: "Is it Porn?" You guess whether a bookshop is porn or not (we found 4/5). They'll always have at least a decent selection (for quantity, not quality) and every convenience store has some, even DVD rental shops. Aside from that 富山 is empty.

The former fact is one that disturbs me. Let me explain. I am human, I can tell you, every male is genetically made to be perverted (anyone who says otherwise is either genetically defective or a liar), as are women to an extent. In general, I don't have a problem with porn so long as it knows it's place. HOWEVER, Japan is a country with more females than males, they have needs too (I assume(?)) and yet hardly a one is taken. Guys here seem to perfer the fake over the real. THAT is my problem, it creeps me out. I'm quite shy myself (debatable), but at least I can talk to girls (awkwardly, probably too much and about the wrong things).

Next, no, I've said enough for now.
