Get busy living, or get busy dying

I finally watched Shawshank Redemption yesterday.

To be honest, it was more than I expected.
It was something worthy to watch at 3 oclock in the morning.

I loved the quote

"Get busy living, or get busy dying"

it is quite philosophical. and gave me a lot of energy.
Since then, Ive been working very hard.

However, Ive just realized it doesnt mean

"get busy working (without sleep), or die"

Yeah, cant remember how many times I went through this problem.

Oh well, I shall go to bed now then...... its 5:20am here now.

i can hear birds

What happened 3-4 years ago

"Oi"

Someone shouted at my back when I was on the way home from the town centre in the dark.

"Oi you"

I did not recognize the voice
It might be someone trying pick a fight with me, I thought
Should I fight like a man? or Should I run away? My head was full of those ideas.

If I fight, I need to be quick, but what if he has a knife or weapons
Okay, need to punch his face straight away when I turn around.
and once he flinches I kick his nuts
I was creating all fighting strategy in my head.

Okay, I can do that, it will work.
So I turned around.

I saw a very tall guy with very grumpy looking on his face

"Oi, Seiji"

Then I realized, It was my brother.

Stupid system

I really would like to complain one thing about English language.

You might have felt this as well. Its just very inefficient and stupid but still no one, ever, has tried to change it.

It is one of simplest thing you might experience everyday.



PUSH PULL



Honestly, its confusing. P and U!!!

Im sure there are only a few people who are cleaver and calmed enough to read them.

I wonder how many times each person does this in his/her life.
"Oh crap, it was Push(Pull) hahaha"

Really, probably we are wasting 2-3 days of our life.
If we had 2-3 days more, we could do a lot of things for good.

Also this also might damage your arm as well.

Please, someone have to change this.

maybe they should make door like

for Push side, no where to hold, just a hand mark
for Pull side, put a handle.

then people would recognize it easily

well, who cares tho.

The most-defeat-like victory

I have one vegetable which I hate so much.
Smell, taste, name, look, all elements of it have been my biggest enemy for 21 years.

When it touches the other food, they also become my enemy.

Like that, I hated it so much.


Last week when I was having a pint with my friend, one trivia made the night a feast.

"A cucumber has the least nutrition in the vegetables"

My heart was dancing, and the night was beautiful

I could completely deny the existence of cucumber.


However, yesterday when I saw the burger with cucumbers in the salad on the same plate,

"Shit"

I only could think like this.

One day on the weekend in NYC

Waking up after hitting head on the wall 6AM

As I couldn't get back to bed anymore, made a full breakfast and decided to go to Museum of Natural History. 8AM

Realized that battery for camera is dead. 9AM

Leaving home with full battery 10AM

Getting on the wrong train -twice
Waiting for the train at the wrong station -twice
Loss -2 hours

Finally arrived at the museum 12:30PM

Very crowded with families and couples. Me myself...
Joining the queue to get ticket + joined in the Spanish tourists group... where am I???...


Then Well Finally Im in it!!



Woa thats a huge whale! yummy..
Firstly, I decided to go to the planetarium.




The Narrator was Mr. Robert Redford
Coool.
but.... to be honest, Planetarium in Tokyo has more and clearer stars....




After that, with avoiding stuffed dead animals (im scared of them), Finally I was in dinosaur section!!!






YEAAAA
This is sooo coool!!
Specially Triceratops!!



If I were to be displayed after I die, I want to be shown like this....


Then, I went to mythical creatures section.



saw dragons, unicorns, mermaid, giants, Big Foot, Tengu etc...
People were touching those... manner....

Then I had a short break/sleep in a video room about the revolution for an hour.

After that, I went out after spending about 2 hours in Astrology and Science Sections.




As I had bad luck with train in the morning, I decided to walk through the central park to the station where I can get on the train that goes straight to my place.

.....


......


it was very cold... (it was actually under 0 C....)

I was wearing only jeans, thin long t-short and leather jacket...






Anyway, the park in winter has great atmosphere. I like it.



As might have been expected, I was dying from coldness.
So I decided to run with them.




On the way, I saw a couple taking wedding picture in this bloody cold park!
I thought "How awful brave they are"

Oh well, by the time I got to the station, I had no energy.

I really enjoyed my day off.

Hypnosis

I had a dream.
I woke up in the middle of the night
everything i can recognize was gone.
Everything changed
I was alone.
no lights
darkness
but there was only one thing that hadnt changed.
I had to carry on my life
no matter what
I had to keep moving forward...

I had a dream like this....

Perception.

I would like to hear your opinion. What do you see when you see the arts.

For me, the arts are the most unlimited way to express feelings, personalities and opinion towards the public. However, as everyone has a different sense of value, it is totaly up to each person how he/she perceive from it. And also from my experience, I beleive that perceptions
differ by where you are from as well, like people from Asia, Europe, NorthAmerica.. (but with effects of globalization, I think they are more mixed)
Therefore, I believe that it is the reason why some people call the art 'mirror of the world'

When I see arts, I always imagine what the artists were feeling and thinking when they are creating it with considering the historical background and environment at first (although my knowledge of history is extremely poor...). Then I compare it with what I feel/think from it now.
But this way sometimes confuse me a lot when I see abstract arts because I cannot imagine the artists feeling clearly. But at the same time these pieces impact me a lot and I love these.
I feel that it might be because of my lack of knowledge. I felt lost a bit.

Talking about Pop songs, I would not call it arts. I rather call it entertainment, and in my opinion, it can be the same as repetitive art techniques like portaits in the 18th century.

I think Im making at lot of contradictions as my perception is very unstable.
Please comment your view..

Thanks
