uphill | downhill
geezers unite! rawr!
well, actually 24 sounds like a throwaway year. not as significant as 25 ("quarter-life crisis") and somehow doesn`t sound as hip as 23.
24/2004?
hmmm.
anyways, went hiking in kobe yesterday which was super fun! david, jolean, matt and i went to kobe`s mt. kabutoyama (i think) which is beside mt. rokko. it was funny cuz before we were supposed to meet matt, ots called and i told him what i was doing. he was like, oh that`s really good! i used to go hiking there a lot! and after he said that i felt a little surge of happiness cuz it was yet another link to who my father was when he was younger, something that i never really had access to until this year. and they certainly do breed `em differently in BC as david and jolean were tra-la-la-ing ahead of me with ease when we were climbing up the mountain (i suspect matt lagged due to pity =)) and it was a really beautiful day...a june day in toronto, i swear! the kind of day where u just feel like everything is in sync, and you have stuffed the day with Life. i got to ring a huge bell at the shrine which was near the base of the mountain! bonus! and when i got home flowers, cake and presents from family were waiting for me =)
But i still can`t upload pictures. sigh.
i can`t stop waking up in the middle of night (4/5am). I`m not having good sleeps.
i started rereading Simple Recipes and Asleep.
and yet another failed trip. but at least i`m going to nishiumi. mountains! ocean! sun!
ugh, starving.
