Good night. I’m Cinderella without her prince. Do you know where to find me in Tokyo? You won’t see me again.
Going into the new year, I’m still continuing my recent obsession with Osamu Dazai’s literature, and I plan to read at least a few more of his works before moving on to something else. Which is why today I’ll present another one of his stories that I finished on the cusp of the last year…

The Tragedy and Facade of the American Dream: Frivolous Love and Deceit of Wealth
Continuing the literature trend that I started, here is another short analysis of a classic that I read the other week – The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald. When I started writing this post, I really got interested in the use of color in it and how much symbolism the book uses to showcase…

Happy December 1st everyone! We have finally entered winter and got one step closer to the festive season, which I am really excited for.

Those Hot Summer Days When Nothing Really Happens and Everything is Wonderful
Alicia from the anime “Aria” Art by AiryAirThere is this one specific feeling that I always try to capture and be in, yet I often seem to have trouble evoking it. Perhaps one of the reasons I have so much trouble with educing it is because I don’t know the concrete name for it. Another reason might be because I don’t know…

Akihabara and Regaining Zest for Lost Interests
Ah yes, Japan. The land of the rising sun, samurai, ramen, anime, karoshi and other many great things. For a hardcore weeb like myself, Japan has been a central piece of my interests, be it binge watching anime, studying the language, learning about the culture and cuisine, and in general reading about this curious place…
Scriptures
From The Bamboo Forest
Of The Lost
Infinite plains of even ground. Bamboos as far as the eye can see.
Let me guide you through this place. And in exchange, let me tell you a story…
What’s this about?
This is simply a personal blog and online diary that I have published to the internet. Here you will find lots of very random musings about my interests, experiences, feelings and thoughts that I have. Really, that’s about it. I have nothing to sell, nothing to prove. I just want to share things that happen in my life, I want them to be recorded somewhere. I hope you find them interesting.
Who are you?
I’m just a guy, nobody important. And yet, I think we are all important. I enjoy working with computers, music is my life, stories drive me forward. However, if you wish to get to know me better, there will be links to my other accounts somewhere around here. Honestly, I love meeting new people, so I wish we can become friends soon and share things about each other.
Why should I read this?
Great question. You probably shouldn’t. Considering the current trends of life and internet, nobody cares about personal blogs anymore, do they? And yet, whenever I find somebody’s personal website, I am intrigued by it and enjoy reading their posts. Therefore, I am sure there are more people like me out there who have this weird hobby of reading internet strangers’ posts.
