I know what The Secret is. It's this: Life's a crapshoot. There IS no Secret. The goals you've been starving,bleeding, and scraping to achieve may come to fruition for you; often, those same prizes go to someone else instead. Just because you "put your intentions out into the Universe", as they quaintly like to say, doesn't mean you're actually GOING to receive what you've requested. It's nice when it DOES happen...realistically, it's rare. Otherwise, we'd live in a totally different world.

Well, Jonathon, I did suggest this to my book club. We shall see if I get excommunicated.

Thanks Brian and Anya. Kudos feel nice, I must say. And listen, Brian, if I could even pronounce savoir-faire...

That's SO awesome! Congrats Jonathan.

nothing like that "shared music, eh?

You forgot the 'cool kids' in the back who are SO generous to let you hear what they're hearing too by blasting their music from their phones/portable speakers.

But ironically, when I'm on a train/bus in Japan and want to talk to a friend or something, I feel very uncomfortable because everyone else is so.fucking.quiet (well, until I hit "Kandai-mae" for me - that's where all the rowdy university kids get on).

Thank you, Bronwyn.

It's an intense read, but it stays with you like only the very best can. There's a reason Soseki-san got to be on the 1,000 yen bill.

I think I should re-read this book now. I remember I read it in middle/high school but not much about it. I quite like the meiji era too...

It's the Kondo-san's and Mort's that remind us of what we've been trying to do all along. Never quite as easy as we think, though. Thanks Reina for commenting.

What a nice, sweet encounter Jon.
"How not to sweat the small stuff and to be thankful" - good advice, and only an advice that can come from someone older with a lot more experience and wisdom!

This reminds me of my one and only friend I made at my driving school I went to in Osaka. His name was Kondo-san and he taught me things like that as well. :)

Greetings! ...and my condolences. Unfortunately, I am not the deposed prince of Nigeria with a lucrative offer for you. You have not been randomly selected from millions of blogs for a very special offer. And Bill Gates does not want to share his fortune with you.

However, I did click on the “Next Blog” button on my blog, and the super secret squirrel bloggity code algorithms sent me to you.

I’m performing an internet speed test. Well sort of anyway. I’m checking to see how long it will take to get a comment back from someone who finds me through the “Next Blog” feature. I’m leaving a comment on whatever blog pops up when I click the “Next Blog” button (that’s your blog).

Now, your part is to copy this comment, click on the Next Blog button at the top of your blog, paste the comment on whatever blog loads, and add your blog to the bottom of the list below. Make sure to check in and leave your link at the Around the Bloggity World in 80 Clicks page, including the date and your blog number in the Name field.
