Satisfying memories are treasures.

Without a single wink of sleep, after the OCD meeting we played MonHun at YORKE.'s and my place. Surprisingly, you can do play all night long. Recently I've had a number of opportunities to do this, but at 27-years-old it's starting to get a little hard on my body. It's fun to play with friends, dammit.
The photo is me heading to work with YORKE. who unusually took the train to work. But YORKE. was so not used to trains, we both laughed.
Now, today is the year-end party for FamiTsu. It is only proper manners for me to not forget to bring MonHun.
But I am sleepy. Well, I guess it's okay. I'm done with work.

Finished with errands and taking it easy.

After doing nothing but sleeping, this came to mind.
Maybe the fatigue just erupted out of me, I slept all day yesterday. I was awake for a little bit, spoke to YORKE., ate, went back to sleep, and when I realized it, it was morning.
This year ends today. I wouldn't look back on things if it weren't for opportunities like this, so I think I'll look back on things a little here.
I talked about this on Radio TIME, but this year I experienced a great feeling of loss. What I lost was huge and it wasn't something anyone would understand, so as a result I faced it alone, but it ended up becoming a positive experience. If I write something like this, I know people will worry, but even if it was something that is not normally experienced, there are things that you need to make it through, so no worry is necessary. Eh, it's not really interesting, so I won't go into details. But rather than not saying anything, I wanted the people reading this to just know that "something happened". I kinda feel that way a bit. To be honest, it's my ego. I'm still not adult enough to hide it all. Knowing that and writing it anyways makes me explode with patheticness. I think, I'm acting like a kid.
Now, experiencing something like that slightly changes what I see. My sensibility changes and with that my opinons change as well. If I'm not careful, the impression I give on the outside will change. Sensing that kind of adaptability, I realize that humans are greedy creatures when it comes to evolution. Off topic, the things I feel within that throw great doubts and questions at me. My thoughts towards work, how I view people, my position, how I should worry about how the world sees me, on the other hand how I shouldn't worry about how the world sees me, what I need to gain, and what I should throw away. When I look at things like that with a commanding view, I slowly, but surely, begin to see things I want and things I want to do. It's interesting.
I'll probably chew on stuff like that next year and do my best to embody that. I'll probably still worry and discover and hold things in, but I feel like there are even more fun things waiting, and to tell the truth, I'm trembling with excitement.
I don't want to leave with only serious talk, so here is a little story.
The other day I was browsing through a nearby store, and there, unapologetically enshrined in a corner, were TENGA EGG, which I experienced for the first time this year. I totally thought "Now here's one that can" was for this shape...no, this person. Since I found this person, after saying "excuse me", needless to say I took it to the register. What shape I bought is a secret. Thinking about when I will use it next, I feel a kind of exhaultation that I felt the first time I knewthat feeling when I was a young boy.
Now that the last DIARY of the year is looking back and totally dirty, left with a strange feeling that the rest is all good, or not good. I have no regrets.
It looks like next year will not be boring at all. Well everyone, have a great year.
*Tenga Egg? Umm. It's Tatsu. And if you're curious, just Google it. But remember, what is seen cannot be unseen.

Once-a-year reunion.

Happy New year.
I hope
Now, I'm fully enjoying my New Year's while meeting up with hometown friends. Now that I look back on it, I've spent over 10 years with these guys. Meeting up with them like always, going to the first temple visit of the year like always, playing with them like always. I'm amazed we're not tired of each other.
In Tokyo and in Aichi, I am totally blessed with friends.
The photo is of those friends.

Nice scenery.

It was so pretty, I had to.

Only in my hometown.

When I buy oden, it comes with miso.
When I see stuff like this, for some reason it's comforting.
And so I can't help but reach for some hot oden. (I used a bunch of dialect.)
*Not even going to attempt translating Mikawa-ben into some form of English. It's close to the dialect I speak and I grew up eating oden with miso too, but I'm still not going to translating it to English.
Oden on Wikipedia. Oden in Tokyo and Nagoya (and the Tokai area) are different.

Homecoming done.
Today, I return to Tokyo.
I come home once a year, so it's only natural that the streets change, but it was a homecoming filled with surprises. There were a lot of things I'm not used to seeing and empty lots where I don't know what used to be there and made me want to say "Wait. There was something here, right?" But there were a lot of things that didn't change and every time I found one, I looked back on myself and thought "This is where I started." It's good medicine for me as I'm lazy and it's easy to make me happy.
Now, there are many who are going back to work on the fourth. I would like to use that as my snack while enjoy my liquor by the name of "I'm still on vacation". It's alright, I'm prepared to be called a jerk.
