You might think I am taking the easy way out - merely to keep my streak alive of having posted at least one blog since the beginning of February. You might be right. But sometimes... in one's life... nothing happened. It sucks when one can say that while living in a strange and alien (but wonderful) land like Japan.. and even worse when I know I am burnt out here in Toronto from work and life... but here's today's blog... exactly as I wrote it 20 years ago:
It's Sunday, October 20, 1991.
I am bored. I feel like I'm in a severe rut. yeah, I'm having a lot of sex with women I barely know and with others I thought I knew... but right now - today - I'm by myself. No one calls. No kids drop by unannounced. Nothing. I sit here in my three-bedroom apartment and stare at my fish wondering what it would be like to be one of those big dumb goldfish.
Perhaps to amuse myself and perhaps just to be seen to make sure I exist today, I go to the local Ohtawara video shop and rent three movies. No one looks at me funny. No one says hi. Weird.
But when I get home and am about to pop in a movie into the VCR - Matthew comes over. That big dumb galoot! I love him! I do exist!
We watch one of my all time favourite black comedy flicks: Heathers, before he skedaddles - probably to go visit his girlfriend Takako. But still... thank you, Matthew.
I then watch Awakenings and half of Psycho 3 before I turn in early at midnight.
Somewhere I exist,
Andrew Joseph

PS: Happy Thanksgiving USA! And a special thanks for giving to Matthew. Sly's got a family - just like Matthew was to me! I mean IS to me!
PPS: You know... I had no idea this blog entry was going to work out when I began it.
PPPS: Weird stuff begins to rear its red head tomorrow.
