In a mostly empty restaurant these Japanese women were talking about anything. I don’t know if it’s slightly taboo for a Japanese woman to go to another country specifically to mate, but that was the current topic.

“You should go to korea, you like Korean guys.”

“But I don’t know Korean.” As if that was the major reason not to go. “After Byoungkwon I lost interest in Koreans.”

“All Koreans?”

“Yes, all Koreans.”

Later in the conversation they were talking about  a mutual acquaintance without much context. “She’s so pretty.”

“Yes. Did she miscarry?”

“Oh…” She said as if understanding something for the first time. “She’s so pretty.”

I’m considering going skydiving. Many people say it’s one of the most exhilarating things you’ll ever do, and how could it not be. After all, you are paying someone to save your life.

I saw two bald eagles spiraling towards the sun. I’ve heard they’re usually always alone, but i guess not today. Typically I’d be driving along this street and not notice anything, but today I was walking, and could stop and look back at the eagles while the cars went by, one after another.

I saw an advertisement on the side of a bus that read “1 in 4 is an atheist.” It made me think about the search for something to believe in. It’s strange to see that advertisement. How do you recruit people? What are you promoting? Who paid for it? It’s hard enough to get people to start believing in something, but it seems very, very strange, if not next to impossible, to convince people to start believing in nothing.

One day in school we learned about the presidents and that most of them were dead, and that the ones born sooner, died sooner. We started asking each other’s birthdays to see who will who will live the longest, and who will die first. “November 8th? Ha ha – I’m gonna live longer than you. You’re March 23rd? Dang.” We hadn’t learned how to multiply or divide yet, only addition and subtraction.
