The END is near!

Konnichi Wa!


I can't believe learning about Japanese and their way life is almost over!! Thats insane, dont cha think?! To be honest, I really liked learning Japanese, taking that i think some of the japanese guys are hot, because i've watched Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift so many times, my t.v. is actually getting a little irritated at me :)!

My most favorite part was the origami, because i'd rather be folding paper into odd shapes, even though i suck at it, than doing any sort of class work :) seriously, what teenager wants to do any type of work, period?!

So, origami... Ever tried it?! I suggest not too, it makes you crazy, because the directions are so hard to understand, its unbelieveable. HAHA :) Well at least I can't understand it. I'd have to say that the only time I would try origami is if all my electronics had a dead battery and if our house didn't have power for some sort of reason! And furoshiki, it's a cheap and traditional Japanese way of wrapping gifts.. You use a type of cloth and can use it over and over again.. If you don't have alot of money or just a plain ole' cheap skate, then you don't have to put a crow bar to your wallet to wrap a gift, just grab a piece of cloth and wrap it the furoshiku way! :)

Squeeze, thats a funny word! :) Well I was going to say SQUEEZE in a food day, but we're doing that tomorrow, so i can't say that anymore! But i think you covered everything I wanted to know about Japan.. Thanks for listening to my wants and needs :)

You know what? For your first year of teaching a Foreign Language class, i think you did a freaking awesome job, you learned alot and taught us alot. I can't really think of anything you need to work on, it was a pretty awesome experiance with Japaneseeee.

But im starting to blab and blab and blab, so im off :)
See you l8r!

Bushida? Yay or Nay?

Bushida, a Japanese warrior class for men that were skilled in martial arts. They had no fear in death and would enter any battle no matter the odds. Ever heard of them? Well probably not, because they don't exist in the United States. Only in Japan when it formed during the 9th and 12th century. Would you of been a Bushida?

If you said yes, why don't you take some time to think about it. Seriously.

Your way of everyday thinking could be affected. A Samurai would rather kill himself than bring shame and disgrace to his family name and/or lord. Would our lord be President Obama? hmm, i don't know either.. But the Samurai would seppuku themselves, also known as 'disembowelment'. It's when a Samurai stabs a knife into his gut and literally disembowels himself. Which is so disgusting!!! Then a kinsman or a friend of the Samurai would slice off his head to complete the suicide!! This was considered an act of true honor! Pretty crazy, huh?

You can't just call yourself a Samurai, you have to fully worship The Samurai Creed.. It's mainly just about you have absolutely nothing until you accomplish and make everything needed to live and survive yourself.. If you still think you can be a Samurai, change your mind yet?

Bushido has influenced many different things, like Buddhism and Buddhism has influenced Bushido. To be Bushido you must have pacification of the emotions, tranquil compliance with the inevitable, self control in the face of any event, have a more intimate exploration of death than of life, and have pure poverty. Still up for being Bushido?

Bushido is definately NOT in our lifestyle. It's the total opposite. I mean theres Buddist people but no where around where I'm from. I don't think I would want to live around those kind of people anyway. I probably wouldn't sleep ever. Be way to afraid. AHHHHH! :/
