USA vs Japan

I must stop switching authors too many, too fast; reading Chuck Palanuik and Haruki Murakami one after another gives one a headache. Imagine American styled in-your-face brutality, sex-drugs-rock'n'-roll with Japanese contemplation, patience, calm and quiet but with an equal punch. Akin to an All-American Muscle car vs a fast, flowing river. Both bruising with power but in totally different forms.

Quite enjoyable until your brain gives way. Ouch.

Abandoned Places

This blog has not been updated in a while. For there is nothing to update.

The earth spins on its axis, around the sun. The moon, around the earth.

And I am yet again in the army. The days are fast; the hours, long.

Oh, I do actually like my vocation here, its just the lack of purpose, the lack of will the lack of spirit from those around me (even myself). Dragging us all down into a cesspool.

Less whining, more work. Leaving us with a lot of personal time has its perks: I can (have been) read actively, work out personally.

I have no energy to end this post. Thinking about the army leaves me drained of spirit.

Bah.
