While reading a long historical take on Japanese history I was going to write that some of it reminded me of Hitler's Germany and before him, the evolution of the Third Reich, because much of what happened past world war II in Indonesia, Myanmar, and South Asia, during Japan's great east Asia campaign went un-noticed after their defeat, [which and a mock democratic government established by foreigners. during the mid 20th century.&the yakuza which lay under the belly so to speak.]. but then, there is a lot of history and beauty in it. so i decided to excerpt and draft this.

http://www.geocities.com/kazenaga23

has a huge compilation of history on japan ; culture and what not .
My Friend Hitler by Yukio Mishima. A good play. Not about Hitler really.
I walked into the A.D. Club the other day, they were playing what sounded like Meringue or flamenco music, with a small band, and some shaking their hips. when i entered, there was a blonde white girl, somewhat skinny, a little aged in the face, not badly, but she was not eighteen or anything, but fairly attractive in her small skirt moving her hips. I think what is attractive about them is that they do not do a really good job of dancing, but make it look attractive still. a paradox. anyways. i thought of saying something to her, only after i reached home.

On another vein,
I was reading that Black Dragon' kokuryai (which literal translation is the Amur river- referred to as Black Dragon), what was the formation of Yakuza gang at some point refers to the Amur river in rR culture of olden days, i think you become less impressed with the modernization of the country, not to draw back from it, but you tend to see the more flaws which exist in any national history.
If you get the time , check out a book published 20 years ago, on the Nuba, a very unique group of people living in Sudan, ... at one time they said there existed nearly 105 Nuba languages , not dialects. a book by Leni Riefensthal.
this is from south lebanon blog spot. i did not bother to rewrite here it is from her site
[israel..sheesh... and no wonder no one of the killing and genocide gets no attention in the united states because of the jewish influence everywhere. frankly, they carry this false anti-semitic banner to which many would compare the african american claim to retribution rights, except they have taken the ordeal to greater, and more cunning lengths, by nature of their people. israel , thanks to american backing, has acquired powerful assets, and with the jewish diaspora , and influence worldwide has masked its terrorist fundamentalist religious philosophies of ethnic superiority which rages in its country from ultra-right wing rabbis'; into creating indiscriminate soliders, even telling them so...& the fact US supports Israel wit 4 $Bill yearly.
[excerpted from South Lebanon Blogspot]
In March 2008, Rabbi Yisrael Rosen, director of the Tsomet Institute, a religious school attended by students and soldiers in the Israeli settlements of the West Bank, issued a religious opinion that appeared to authorize the killing of all Palestinians. Rosen was widely quoted as having written, "All of the Palestinians must be killed; men, women, infants, and even their beasts." Rosen's ruling garnered support among leading Israeli rabbis authorized to issue Jewish religious opinions.

the UN president, the worlds highest elected official condemned Israel's ruthless attacks on children, women, indiscriminately slaughtering people- as apartheid. to the worry of UN officials, there were several death threats on the UN president.


whats more troubling is that Israel has always had a policy of genocide planned for the Palestinians, estimated at around 1.5 million living on the gaza strip. Ilan Pappe, israeli historian in his book ' ethnic cleansing of of Palestine' talks about Israel's genocidal policy. It is touted as Israel's Zionist final solution, and has been going even fore the 1948 established of the state of israel.

It is a sad tragedy actually what is happening to the Palestinians. In fact, many in the United States were unaware due to the Jewish propaganda that is apparent in society here, the excessive sympathies they have sucked in, to their greater influence, that is why the many atrocities committed by Israel go unnoticed. The Middle East is a turbulent region, but as you read the history of it, the details, you begin to unravel that the United States foreign policy and desire for imperial control in certain economic territories or expansive security policies as left many places fucked up for lack of a better word. The UN president was also on counsel to help IJC in favor of Nicaragua vs the United states , in a case that pressed the defendant , the US, had supported with military arms a right-winged party to overthrow the government. this is also the time when ruben dario wrote his famous poetry, and letter to Roosevelt concerning the costra nostra (cant remember the party name) , and murders and violence caused by all that.

in fact history is an important subject. unfortunately, high school or college classes do not teach you the things you need to know. in english you might learn to capitulate , to write the correct sentence structures, to transition well, to write pose without excessive ' to be' verb formations. and express thoughts more concisely- but if you have nothing to express, nothing but the language written in the books you've read, with little imagination beyond from the richness of your own life, then you have not experienced life. that is why that writer who slammed slum dog millionaire, the actual slum dog himself, because he himself was a newsweek writer, that came from the ghettos of india, which is like the worst place in the world besides places in africa, thailand, and maybe in china too (because its all hushed up from the outside world). it is true, even after spending many years in these institutions, the knowledge i gained of the outside world, and how it works was from just investigating. reading solid works is good, but other educated thoughts are the best. their thoughts, from the same level, but more broad, help your own education to grow. its important for the other things to educate formally, to be able to eat well, and take care of yourself, unless another source of income does that for you already- like your wealthy family or something like that, a trust , or income from a steady stream of professional work. Anyways, beyond all that ,the real knowledge of what really happened in history, and the workings of this world- when you become more clear on all that, then hopefully the fake -ness of the world will open away from your eyes like dull morning eye dew. then spirituality blossoms for the right flower. by such grace, the mind awakens to new lengths and horizons.

spirituality is the only way back. people may indulge in this world forever, but it does not last. the transitory effects of fame, success are helpful in living by earning, but it is all for a purpose. the body is not meant to be beaten out, to the last end. it is meant to be taken care, of, when they say it is the temple of the soul, they mean to take care of it carefully, not zealously that it should be over pampered. there is great story that illustrates such. A great king was laying on his mattress, of dozens of rose petals, and thinking to himself, i must earnestly seek spirituality , or my life will not have fulfilled the inner seeking of myself. just as he was thinking this, a man was climbing outside his window- and the King, saw this , paused his thoughts, and came off his bed and asked him what on earth he was doing outside his window at this late hour of the night. the man replied- " I lost my camel, and i think it may be on your roof." The king told the man that it was the most ridiculous thing for him to search for the camel there. The man replied so is your idea of spiritual gain while amidst such luxuries." . The king understood, and then shortly after renounced all that he had, and sought real spirituality in ever meditation in the simplest of means. that story is an allegory . mean to exude that the inner awakening only comes when we have earnestly sought out on the path of spirituality . there is a saying in Hinduism that the earnest seeker need not look for a master, the master will find him. that the auras emanating from such a soul , such pure desire to seek out, truth, the burning of the sensation , will touch the tips of where such masters sit, and the one who is meant for your, or who you call the eternal, supplication- , it will return in natures answer, she will bend to the will, of that great one, and you will meet by circumstance. This has happened to many spiritual aspirants i have come across. the earnest seeker never goes unanswered. the only thing is, man has built many layers of impurities by vice. time does not allow you to stay fresh and pure. it would be illogical thinking to think that you could remain by just by thinking your okay, to be okay. you may not be. you may have bad tendencies, how do you reflect those. just by accepting them? that is why self-help books cannot teach you according to real vedantic teachings. the knowledge is there, inside lurking but covered by layers of life- and living. true yogi's will show you, mark their later years near death, and their bodies can still accomplish an astounding number of things,and many have shown that their bodies do not show the typical signs of decay; this is an ultimate response to man- ordinary in his thinking- that spirituality cannot even destroy death.the infinite possibilities of the illumined mind.. men with no vision cannot see this. they are blind receptacles. but a true seeker, by daily establishing himself in meditation achieves what he sought after. in yoga sutras , they say there are phases of meditation where the seeker receives, relaxation from meditation, freedom from his worries, inner awakening, and establishment in himself. they are the fruits, when not sought after, come like bees, to the silence established in the mind. only persistence establishes it, humble persistence. that is why sometimes it is not always the best student that achieves the most profound work. it is , nearly many times the humble observant, like a razor sharp , eye, he crosses the shore of all darkness.
it is a sad story the genocide that is taking place in Lebanon right now. the Palestinians that have been slaughtered over the past two years. and the carnage across the gaza strip from the Israeli forces. In fact israel is not even recognized by the middle east. American influence and greed caused it all to happen the first place. that is a harsh stance, especially for Jewish Americans, but the fact is Israel does not really belong there. It takes land, that was not its to begin with, artificial boundaries, and then suppresses people who have been living there before them- Palestinians.
I was just reading on A quentin tarantino site that someone was saying they were not a big fan on Takashi Miike. I mean, how can you not be. They must not have seen Ichi, Crows Nest, and the rest of his others. I think i've seen like four or five, like gozu, etc. were all really cinematographic and well executed. QT i do not think is on par, Kill Bill was just an amateur make of some Japanese films really. Uma Thurman was rather cheesy. I also had seen John mayers tattoo on someones site I can't remember, think it was someone from Horitoshi Family. Was it Horimasa., no I think it was HoriKen. I saw the image in a book , of shots an artist had from other artists , one of them in Japan. Think it was John Mayer's arm, or that style. with the box. Not Tebori however I think.

question to myself.

if i put more pictures would it make more my blog more legible, more readable? I do not go back for grammar, i believe more in getting the ideas as quickly out before they disappear. thats what happens to me. lately the police and the firemen with their looney tune sounds , i swear the government is increasing its size and power, time for me to leave. well let me smoke another of this sweet bubble OG. my roommate is not home yet, was waiting, but another delicious smoke does not sound too bad to me. i promised to mention drugs, as my fellow cosmic subtle beings, who read my shit, would not appreciate it, and i do not think anyone else takes the time. sometimes the thoughts you quench, the ones you express , are best left remaining in the corridors of your mind, where your steady gaze can reflect back across them like pages in your life.
was watching waltz with bashir. what an intense film. about lebanon, the palestine conflict, the christian phalgaonist army. excuse my ignorance. piecing it together, the entire area has so much conflict, violence, pain and the rest of ignoble bearing.

to reach the other shore across the moon. indeed. it is no easy feat . to conquer at once the mind is like remaining on the wave, the immutable shore.


spinach carrot apple good mix, well i tried spinach and carrot. juicing them that is. i use a breville compact , quite the nifter.

waiting for that dvd, under the skin to come in the mail. that loon barth charges a ridiculous sum for a dvd, and unfortunately i could not find a torrent file . not very popular on the internet. frankly, the internet has its drawbacks. i speak candidly.

Reading about the yakuza is fascinating news. really , quite a bit of literature on the subject yet scarce at the same time. Understand? well, you have to do a bit of searching like I did to start. and my interest in irezumi redoubles my habit of searching the internet for credible university like sources. Some maybe are not interested. I have a lot of interested when my mind is not bogged down by too much hashish or marijuana. I like this recent stuff I got. Strawberry OG. A nice sativa, once it dried properly. The place i get it from A.D.A.S. American Dumb Ass ses. Haha. well they are right down the street, and their hash is decent prices I guess for what I can get now. About 40$ for high quality stuff, not super high quality, but good good. Some kind buds, well not really, recently has i do not purchase too much flowers- but I went back in to get some, man they are all wet. the very nice ones are the worst cured in my opinion because the buds are so dense and thick with flowers and trichomes and what not, .. but oh well. it dried , and that gave it a really nice smoke, i had to re wrap the first two smokes because it was so wet, increases the weight too. ridiculous even the marijuana club has become political and greedy, industrial- except its worse, they hide behind, the simple guy campaign as i call it- where the corporation or entity uses the idea that it is like the single man/individual working, women too mind me, simple and with limited income and simple tastes. I mean that is far from it too. thats what the marijuana clubs have become as well, they echo the idea of the freedom of the simple patient, weak, and monetarily lacking - or they would not be there- , and such false shit. while in the background they are making easily into the six digits. i should be a grower when i think of the stupidity, but it would stunt all the other artistic talents, and basically- well life. i am not a believer in drugs frankly. i dont really care about politics- that said i dont talk about legalization. i probably do use the drug recreation ally, more than any regular user, but as a student i have long dry spells- like three months maximum over the past five years where i am entirely sober. otherwise i am smoking up daily, five six times easy. every day. and i study math. not very good, but thats more because i am too lazy to open the book. jeje.. yes it is funny. why i wrote it in spanish who cares. . but i am off the subject i think. this stuff is good. gives a light high so much better than that indica heaviness. but its hard to find a quality sativa. thers a close club on the street parallel to this one, that i should stop into. i knew a guy who worked. in the Sulver Sity. he could have given deals, but now hes learning music from an indian maestro in the san francisco valley. nice stuff. always liked the place myself, and going back to learn japanese fluently at a college i biked to usually for other classes. i am going to master japanese, travel there, learn some wood carpentry shit from their temples with my spiritual background- i have access to some monks there, and my masters disciples living there or one at least- who can show me- but i cannot get too much help, because i also have an interest in irezumi and plan on doing an entire suit which will range from 10,000$ to 19000$ for me. i am ready to do at least 6000$ worth of work by this year. i do not want to wait too long so i want to finish in the next 5 years. before 3 would be sweet, but unlikely. i found a great artist from the horitoshi family who visited very close to where i live and at a shop where i got work done from another guy from japan, a machine artist whose work is amazing, even better than the american counterparts. but i am all in tebori now, so waiting for him to return and we will start the kitsune, maybe silver, on my front. on the back it would be cool to get li no hayata killing an eue scene from the stories of sudioken or something i think. anyways i just like that scene. but i am not sure on the artists attitude on doing samurai. and i checked out the promo clip for mario barths under the skin. looks cool not going to lie. charged quite a fee to buy it for a dvd, 30 $ give me a break. this guy is a douche bag. big time. loser, named his son tebori. oh my goodness. i am sorry, no i am not no one famous. and more. but still . i have spiritual values, and a great spiritual master from which i learned a lot. so if your going to get offended oh well. I find the guy to be moronic, even if he's german, thats worse i suppose than american ,greed driven men. trying to modernize art that is old, like my culture. Europeans are silly like Americans. I have not made up my mind on Japanese. The art fascinates me, and there is nothing like in India, so I will have to broaden my mind and take it in. I will master the language at a good college that offers extensive japanese. then with fluency i can move around better, although I will be darker and indian looking.
祗園精舎の鐘の声、諸行無常の響きあり。娑羅双樹の花の色、盛者必衰の理をあらわす。
おごれる人も久しからず、唯春の夜の夢のごとし。たけき者も遂にはほろびぬ、偏に風の前の塵に同じ。
Story of Heike :1.1
[ The sound of the Gion Shōja bells echoes the impermanence of all things; the color of the sāla flowers reveals the truth that the prosperous must decline. The proud do not endure, they are like a dream on a spring night; the mighty fall at last, they are as dust before the wind.

news

had got a tebori tattoo from horitaka of the horitoshi family from tokyo the last week. two sessions. good work. planning to do a whole suit in the next 4 years. will do the kitsune 9 tailed, when he returns before october for that mario barth tattoo festival. i swear that white guy is ridiculous. japan is funny. they respect white people more than mine. mine, indian- who comes all the spiritual culture and religious truths of asia. anyways not into digress that. but yes it will be very good work. taka san is very good. and it is very rare to get someone who is good. and i am removing my old tattoos, hopefully for free.
