The last thing we did shoulda been first!

While we were in japan it had occured to me that it would be a great opportunity to indulge my great love of Zushi.
I had visions of wondering from one Zushi bar to another in a fish fuelled, wasabi flavored, saki adelled mission to eat my weight of the stuff (pretty odd for a guy that wouldn't even eat rice we he was young)
As it turned out we didn't even get any Zushi till our last day in Japan, while waiting for our flight we had a few hours to fill and fill them we did in the town of Narita.
We had stayed in a hotel near narita but we didn't really take a look around, so we just hit the streets and started walking round that's when we found this place.
When we walked in there were just a couple of patrons there two very nice women that seemd to be friends of the owners.
The owners a man and woman in there late 40's by my best guess had no english and we had little or no Japanese, but still we got our messages across
We had a sampler of of the best he had ... and boy was it great!
We wandered around Narita for the day stopping at a great gourmet coffee shop, a hardware store (yeah hardware... found a nice pull-saw there) some clothing shops and a Tyco drum dealer that spoke fantastic english ( boy could we have used him at the start of the japan leg) we had a great ol' time.
We should have started by seeing that town.
Oh well next time ... and there will be a next time.

Take Me Away!

Theres always a lot of talk about what we deserve... or don't deserve much "damn... I didn't deserve that" or "What did I do to deserve this?" But I think the real point lies in the idea that for some reason we tend to believe that the universe (for lack of a better term) has some interest in what happens to us. I mean does the universe still sob over the fate of the dinosaurs? Does it ponder still over the fates of the many we have all lost? If I trip and fall in the path of an oncoming tram will the universe, god, buddha or the tooth fairy send a card to my mom to say " That was just fucked up what happened to your boy... we all regret it and hope you get over it soon." I think not. The fact is that in the grand scheme none of us matter much ... and that's ok. Because we never did. I wonder when mankind got the idea that we are the lynch pin of the universe? Sure for a long time we believed we were the centre of it all but that was pure igno...

Human suffering

Why does is so much time on TV and in Film devoted to human suffering? Don't get me wrong We need to know when our fellow humans are in distress... But to just observe these horrors and not help is just wrong. To actually help should be the goal behind showing these things... Not charity, or sympathy but involvement. How can it be justified by news agencies to spend millions upon millions to "cover" a horrible event and nothing to help? Let's just put away that notion of "journalistic integrity" if it ever existed at all it is surely long dead now. News bringer have long ago crossed the line and become news makers, so why not do some good? Not theoretical good but real good... I mean they are there at the scene, with little to do but rehash a story over and over. As for film... We all know that the budget for one "blockbuster" film could solve a lot of the world's problems. You say they are helping ... Through their story telling? Well that w...
