My main interests right now, are in my job, and in school. School is good for me not just because it educates me, but it keeps me busy and out of trouble. Work does too, however. It not only keeps me out of trouble, but basically pays me to keep out of trouble. I can get the things that I want, and stay busy....who can beat that deal? Anyways, here are some of my interests and a brief explanation of WHY I am interested in it.
Wrestling
Well, I decided to take this season off of wrestling to work after school. Wrestling took away a lot of my time last year, and I needed it this year to do other things. Wrestling is a sport that requires extreme effort, especially if you want to get better. It is physically as well as mentally challenging, and can test your limits as an individual. Will-power is only a part of the key to being successful in the sport of wrestling...I like this because it has challenged me in the past, and made me a better person not only physically, but mentally. All those cruelling practices, wrestling with the other sweaty wrestlers was damn worth it. Despite what the other people say in school (uhg, you like to grab balls don't you?). And i say to them, YES!! I like to grab their fuckin balls and rip them out! Then slam them to the mat and break their damn chicken-ass necks! I love the rush I get when I am pounding their face into the mat, squeezing the air out of their lungs, making them squeek. But hey, thats just me. Anyway, I hope to get back into it next year....No wait, I WILL get back into it next year.....
Computers
Computers are the basis of all technology in out world today. Without them....well we all know where we would be. I like to be on a computer, not all the time, but it intrigues me. I have no knowledge of how they really work, but its fun to be on them. I hate them when they are slow, and like to beat of them when they are. (Why the hell do I beat on the fucking moniter??? It's not the moniter's fault.....) Anyway, thats why it interests me.
Japanese Language/Culture/People
Ever since eight grade (8th), I have be infatuated by the Japanese people, and the language. It has always seemed so distant to me, because I am never around very many of them. I have been influenced by so many things in my life, but never by something as profound as this. I just like to sit and listen to someone speak the language, like children to a story. The language seems to flow in my head, and can sometimes sound romantic. Just like french, some of the slurs, some of the words can get you into the mood when said correctly. My goal for the past few years is to master this language....inside and out, no matter how hard it may be...ill master it. Then, maybe, I will move onto another language. After World War II, the Japanese people were humbled by the United States. Mostly by our stupidity, and our ability to fling atomic bombs wherever we want to. Before the war, the Japanese people isolated themselves from most of the world, trying not to let anything influence them and bring a downfall to their Empire. Although they borrowed culturally and socially from other nations, the United States has been a big influence on the way their nation has been shaped, and the way they live their lives today. From a nation that has in turn, influenced US so much, I wish to expand my knowledge upon these people, and learn their ways, because life is too short to let something like this pass me by. I guess you could say the United States is boring me, so corrupt and vial. I love my country, I love everything it stands for, but I do not love my country today, for what it has become. Japanese culture is extremely interesting to me.. Proper etiquette, formal introductions, polite gestures, and formality ingeneral, makes me long for such a thing so practiced to be practiced here in my own country. Around here all I see is the crap of life and the defecation of loss.
HOWEVER...
My life has been good to me, I cannot complain. I will continue to work hard to make things happen, continue to earn money for my return trip to Japan.
