Hear my friend: She is a Flower!
Scented silk, just like its makers,
Come forth from sod, shorn of vignettes; 2
In sweat nor prune may man boast not,
Both sheets and petals fashioned God. 4
As did my maker fashion her,
Now be her fashion: like flowers! 6
Yet it ceases not at countenance,
For here is how she bests the princes: 8
Roses, with our eyes, they do teach much;
My girl, her eyes – there is no lust! 10
She is my rose! – Oh, you can’t see:
Here, shut thy doors and breathe freely. 12
Ah, `tis truer now than before,
And believe you: some still want more?! 14
This is why she is my flower:
No man scents what his friend desires. 16
Look here now. With me examine
This rose, her whole, from seed to stigma – 18
Unfettered to the untrained eye,
And full of want in sight of mine. 20
Perceive merely not; no, but breathe
Her thorns, her flaws, her withered wreaths: 22
Her very touch, without safeguard,
One false move, and blood slakes the barb! 24
To grasp a stem, to grace soft skin –
Oh that both drew blood for the sin! 26
It’s tips raze all, my very touch –
Her cling sets flame! Alas, never enough! 28
For wild as unique doth boast her fury;
She stings with pain un-described! Oh, what FURY! 30
Yet no matter how deep nor sore be the wound,
All is made well when eyes fate with her bloom! 32
Well scented, perfumed and ornate her bouquet;
But from one single flower – what else shall I say? 34
took a grand 3 days!!

Anime Expo 2009!
I was only able to take very few photos because we were only there for one day. Hopefully next time I can take more! It was fun though!

PK!!!
As of April 6, 2009 (obviously not today) I have decided to participate in the growing art-form and physical discipline that is Parkour!
At first it seemed a bit out of touch with my character and who I used to be. Don't get me wrong, I have always enjoyed exercising to the point of a massive arterial rupture or an internal brain hemorrhage, but it was never really too exciting or even "dangerous." I know it might sound a bit silly to CRAVE danger in the way that I am but I've come to realize that as a MAN (insert disturbingly rude grunts here) my heart has always longed for a sense of adventure!
Having been raised solely by my mother, the opportunity to engage myself in more "rugged" and even simply spontaneous activities have nearly always eluded me.
But this time I shall demand more of myself physically than ever before! I shall writhe in pain, the pain of a good, sweaty, jumping, leaping, spinning, vaulting workout!
And if I lose a limb or two in the process, for the sake of character building, I shall merely employ a dear and close friend to beat me severely with said limb. It shall be .... GLORIOUS!
On a side note, if you've ever wondered what it would look like to have two of my favorite hobbies clash this is what I think it might closely resemble:
(Fashion and Parkour)

Strike!!!
I just went bowling with some friends today at our local navy base here in San Diego. Apparently I am "Very-good-but-not-great" at bowling! Interesting considering the fact that I haven't bowled for over a decade!!!
Yep, our first game I bet both my opponents and my other three buddies in the game next to us (score-wise)!
Shamefully, I was creamed in the next game. I am reminded of a wise and ancient Canadian proverb: "Don't gloat until you're all in the car!"
Maybe when I get to Japan I can play with balls like these:

WTH?!
So I just saw a trailer for this new movie that's coming out: Inglorious Basterds!
At first I thought "why name it that?" / Oh, but now I know!

Epical vids: #1
So I have decided to start a "thing" where i post epic vids with epic music that i find on youtube (btw, my youtube is http://www.youtube.com/user/esalaslimon1988, check it out!).
I'm into loud-opera-type-movie-soundtrack music so... yeah!
Here is #1: it's a bit old but i just found it so BACK OFF! The song is "Gothic Power" by X-Ray Dog / the vid is of Final Fantasy Versus 13 (which I never had the pleasure of playing, but still want to do so).

An old friend...
Yesterday, me and my mother went out to eat at a nearby Japanese restaurant called Hanaoka. As we were waiting for the check to come, some people who had arrived before us, apparently seated way in the back, began to walk by us as they left. I quickly noticed that the female companion was an old friend I had meet a few years back in college, but had lost touch with. When I asked if she remembered me, she did! Not surprisingly, we had both forgotten each others names and immediately greeted each other with our names, as one would normally for the first time. We reminisced for about 30 seconds (they seemed to be in a rush, so I did not "tarry"), told her how I was soon off to Japan, she wished me luck and we said our goodbyes!
What struck me was that I had never made a conscious effort to truly befriend this person. Maybe that was my last opportunity? As I progress in my life's calling, to be a pastor/missionary/minister/whatever, I cannot afford to make these same mistakes again. Being that I am Human (http://applemilk1988.com/ reference / ^_^v) I will most likely do this again; however I must try my hardest to miss as few of these chances as possible. When I said "I cannot afford" I suppose it should be more like "perhaps they cannot afford to be passed-up by me." Not that I'm such a necessary person or something like that; I'm not being narcissistic, but what I mean is that (if you're a Christian reader "PAY ATTENTION") perhaps I am/will be their only means of hearing about Christ. Especially because I will be living in Japan, where the name of Christ is heard less than almost never, is why I must cut out this bad habit now!
Make no mistake, I have heard it said that if one does not make himself available to the work of God that God will get it done anyway, even w/o us! But how much more awesome would it be to BE APART of that persons gradual acceptance of Christ!!!
Even as a pastor/minister/whatever/missionary, all I'll be good for is educating and inviting people to God. It's up to them to develop a relationship with Him!
In short, as Christians all we are is the "friend of THE friend." Church is like a "meet and greet" party for all your friends on Earth, with your one friend who made the Earth!

Shirushi!
I first heard this song while watching the J-series "14sai no haha" or "14-year-old mother". By the talented Mr. Children.
As the lyrics imply as used by the director, this song can be used not just for couples but also for parents and children.
Man, I love this song!! Gets me right in the heart every time! *tear*

Tommy Ree Jones?
Just watched some commercials for Boss coffee. Japanese coffee in a can! With Tommy Ree Jones!!!
In this one, (my fav) he works at a hot spring bath, and the guy makes comments about his cooking! He then proceeds to humiliate him in a game of ping-pong!
Tanoshii! (Fun!)

Not really so good at this....
Am I? I guess there'll be more to blog about later, as it nears the time for me to go to Japan...

Hmmm....
Go here : http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
and look at Feb. 2/2009!
the guy with the bike really spoke to me (^_^)!!!
here's how i commented on the pic itself (comment yourself; its really interesting...)
"I know he tied up his pants in order to prevent them from getting in the spokes…. But why only one? (he’s also missing a button…) his accessories and his shoes (as well as his bike) give me an “earthy” feel…. Kinda like his ensemble is saying “let it be spring already!” he’s rebelling at last minute against winter!I don’t know… the colors and the button (lack there-of) and the bike…. I think he’d rather be in a field than in a city…. ^_^ y"
id give u the image myself but i think that'd be taking away from the Sartorialist's credit..... remember "give credit where credit is due!"

"Get it together!"
Even the things I have to do are getting very boring to me. I'm in somewhat of a spiritual and mental "slump." Perhaps it's because I'm not where I need to be, or rather called to be. You ever miss somebody or someplace without actually ever having been there? Well, that's how I feel right now.
"Kusoooo!"
(that's the sound of me reeling my head back in rebellion to my own schedule.) Maybe (for now) I need a change of scene? Or maybe it's just "adulthood" (eww!)? Whatever it is, I don't like it. I want to like what I do! I just don't (right now). Hmm....
