Last O-bon
.

I advise everyone to go to O-bons. I have been going to several local ones so far 4&1/2. I thought that yesterday's would be the last but it seems I may have to go to another. I seem to have been talked into going to the Gardena temple's next week. I heard that Gardena's has the largest group of attendance and of odori dancers than the others in LA.

I just heard of Obons in June yet I think I'll miss them after this last one. I admit it I may be addicted to o-bons. It seems almost wrong and unnatural to not go each week to another one. I will have to go to as many as I can next year. Now I know what to look for at each and their specialty foods. At least there is Nisei Week 「二世週間」coming up with it's end of the event dance.

Something I don't Get

I really don't get drinking. Many seem to want or need to drink to have fun. First I don't see the fun in it but to actually plan to drink to have fun makes no since. If you are going to a party or event that isn't fun itself? At a party isn't it more fun to dance and talk to others? When you are going out to eat isn't it more fun to taste new things, find places to visit again and interact with others? I know there is no reason to ask these questions but I was just thinking of this(and lost my journal again!)

Maybe this all comes from me wanting to be as smart as I can be at every moment. I know I never wanted to be drunk since that would me my brain functions would be inhibited. So I admit there are other reasons than not finding it fun that I don't drink. However I still don't see the reason.

Dancing Prisoners

Due to blog searching I've heard of prisoners doing organized dancing in the Philippines. I have found this entertaining,interesting and a bit scary. I'm not sure if just at that prison but it seems this is a mandatory activity. Is this idea just wrong or a great idea.

「いま会いにゆきます」

いまあいにゆきます「今会いに行きます」


Hello all I just found this picture. So I wanted to share one of my favorite shows, I'm coming to meet you now 「今あいにゆきます」 This show was based on a book. There was also a movie made (using the same kid) but I haven't watched that yet. There is also a American remake being or planning to be made of the movie starting one of my favorite actors, Jennifer Gardner!

I'm sure many have heard about the dumpling maker who make dumplings made mostly of soften cardboard. Despite the people who ate them I think the real sad thing is there are other victims, other store owners. Now some people who visit China are going to think twice before eating. So small Mom&Pop stores who use quality ingredients will suffer due to one person's low morals.
So today's Friday the 13th. Yeah that's all I have to say.

Well Beckham joined the Galaxy today. I get why he joined,more money when he's not even in his prime but I don't think him joining is really going to cause more poeple to care about soccer/football. Hopefully he does though and the Galaxy team gets their needed fan increase.
Has anyone seen the clip where the mayor got booed at the press conference/showing! I always thought people valued morals in others than they chose to admit.

Went to an Obon Carnival 「お盆 カニルー」the other day. Although the oban services are based on Buddhism the festivals were lots of fun for everyone. I suggest everyone try visiting an obon festival this season!

7/7/7 and an unlucky earth?

Happy 7-7-7 seems today should be someone's lucky day!

Recently there have been concerts to support environmental awareness but being the type of guy I am I must ask how much pollution does these grand concerts produce? Also are the majority really going to hear about the environment or their favorite bands?Just something to think about.

Gundam 00 and Death of a Hero

I've heard about the new gundam series premiering in October. For fellow Gundam and anime lovers that's pretty exciting. It's called Mobile Suit Gundam00 or
機動戦士ガンダム00. Which is not a very really original name compared to the other series. You can get read about the plot on wikipedia at: http://en.wikipedia.org/ .

Also for those who enjoy comic books there is a new comic coming out from about the funeral of Capitan America. For those not following the "Civil War" Marvel series. Captian America died by an assassin while he was being taken to court for building a resistance movement to the Superhero registration bill.
