10957 days without colour
I came acrossed this video today and it really spoke to me. Im feeling a bit more melancholy than usual and I think it has to do with the fact that in two days I will no longer be in my 20's and im less than thrilled about that. I have also come to another couple of conclusions over the past few days.
1.) I hate my grandfather wolf. - yikes! WOWZA! how can I say that?? Well I never met the guy (that I remember) and despite being an abusive alchoholic of a father and husband he only gave me two things. The first is the reason I shave my head. The second is a world without colour. Man I hate that guy.
2.) I have also grown to strongly dislike Shinobu Ishihara. If you have ever looked into a circle of coloured dots and seen a number you can thank him. If however you have ever looked into a circle of colured dots and seen only coloured dots you can thank him for helping to ruin your life.
Im thinking of designing a t-shirt to express my disgust for his lifes work and my rejection of his test. I have not been able to come up with a good idea though. I definitely want the text to all be in Japanese so I will be looking for help on this from those good with the jp speak. My basic idea is a test plate with some text like "dont label me" "you ruined my life" " you have crippled me" " I will hate you till the ends of the earth" that type of thing. but it should be clever and right now im just in angst mode so im not happy with what I am thinking thus far.
cheers!

Life is how God lays it out for us. Remember life does not end at age thirty or forty or fifty. It ends when we stop living it and that can happen at any age. I'm glad you are who you are and the age you are.
I had a hard time turning 30 myself seven years ago. I was bummed and felt really bad about leaving my 20's. Now, I look back and realize that I haven't grown older but wiser. Roman society didn't consider a person an adult until they were 30. By then, a person should have out grown the immaturity of youth.
I also realized that aging is mostly a mindset, that people start aging themselves to keep up with what everyone thinks a certain age should look and act like. I may turn 37 this year but I still feel like I did when I was in my 20's.
Happy birthday buddy. =)
Welcome to my bitter, angry little corner of the universe. I'm pretty sure that you aren't really shaking an angry first at the cosmos, but you're just expressing some of your angst on your blog to get it out. (Thirty was the hardest birthday for me, too.)
And if you can be creative and work out some of the negative feelings on on a tee-shirt, I say more power to you!
