Finally, a blog!

So there's always this thing about keping up with the times. I guess its just about time that I should create ablog. Having resisted the idea for more than two years while all my peers set up their own outlet for expression, maybe it really is time.

Well I've been free for close to a year now and the freedom I've always wanted feels great. But our world being a not-so-perfect one also means that freedom can sometimes equate to lonliness. And of course, that's a great thing cause at least its an indication of my humanity.

Since this is a first blog entry I guess its courteous that I give a short update to what's been going on in my life off late.

This year has started off as a great year with me finally visiting my dream destination: Japan. Another reason that makes 2007 great is that I've started music lessons with a teacher I feel rather comfortable with and I just hope and pray that I can stay with her for as long as possible.

My best friend's just returned from the U.S. after a 3 month stay and we now share dreams we never thought would be common between us. Of course there is a downside to his stay over there.. due to how easily I'm assimilated into the activities ofthe people around me, I find myself doing one out of two things in my free time: Baseball OR Skateboarding. Again, these are two things NEITHER of us thought we'd ever do.

I'm rediscovering literature, with a focus on Japanese literature. This was brought on by the fact that I'm rehearsing for a play written by the infamous Mishima Yukio. The man staged a coup at the Japanese Self Defence Force Headquarters and when it turned out ot be a flop, commited sepuku or ritual suicide at the same place. His works are as fine as they can get without being explicit.

I've secured a place for my internship at Mallal & Namazie so I don't have to worry about that for a while. School this term hasn't been really good so I'm hoping that when I go back next week, things will somehow just work out fine. But then again.. ours is an inperfect world.

That seems to be all I can and should say for now.
