About Me

an ordinary person who loves to sit in cafe reading books, drinking coffee, and watching people. I'm gonna add a quote by my man Michel Foucault: "I dream of the intellectual destroyer of evidence and universalities, the one who, in the inertias and constraints of the present, locates and marks the weak points, the openings, the lines of force, who incessantly dsplaces himself, doesn't know exactely where he is heading nor what he'll think tomorrow because he is too attentive to the present..."

My Interests

radicalizing and philosophizing the problems i face every single day. sitting in cafe and talking about social problems with right people. i'm not interested in meeting people who do not concern about problems in the world which we all live. am i too political? hmm, perhaps:) but can u separate urself from politics?

I'd like to meet:

people who are aware of injustice and tragedy of society and trying to do something about it. people who look at my eyes when we talk.

Music:

pretty much everything. i love music with soul not commercialized.

Movies:

Japanese, Chinese, French (especially early 90s), and some American.

Books:

the book which inspired me most is Angela Davis: An Autobiography. My favorite books of all the time are The Bluest Eye (T.Morrison) and The Stranger (A.Camus). Favorite authors/writers: T.Morrison, P.Nizan, J.P Sartre, Kafka, Camus, J.Joyce, Dostoyevsky, I.Turgenev, S.Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, M.Foucault, b.hooks, P.H.Collins, H.Zia, Chuya Nakahara (poet)etc.

Heroes:

Frida Kahlo (i wish i can live like her).

Passion and Japanese Culture

Through out Japanese history, expression of passion and emotion is considered as unsophisticated, rude, shame, selfish and so on. We are told not to express our emotions and passion so explicitly...

Being selfish is an illness

There is no perfect being exists in the world. Being human means being not perfect. We are the most subjective beings. What is true for me is the truth. Therefore, we have to take full respo...
