Rain

It has been raining throughout the day. 
Typhoon No. 2 is coming. 
It will be near Hiroshima that city I live in the early morning tomorrow.
Rain makes me feel so blue.

Well, speaking of rain, 
It remind me BJ Thomas's song "Raindrops Keep Fallin 'On My Head". It is theme song of movie "Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid" (Japanese title "asu ni mukatte ute")




Let me introduce some of the lyrics to you. 

♪ 
Raindrops keep falling on my head 
I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
because I'm free 
nothing's worrying me 
 ♪


Yes, 
Do not complain about things we can not change. 
We must go towards the our mission and our dream.
We have no time to complain about unchangeable things.

My Dream



Martin Luther King once said.
"I have a dream"

However, until now, I did not have a dream.
Even though I was half way into my life, I was so frustrated.
Because I did not have a dream.

But recently I found a dream.
To master the English language,
To become a global person.


Today I will talk about my dream.

I'm working at the bank nearly 20 years.
I have experienced many things.
Collecting deposits, corporate finance,
Planning new business at headquarters
And now I'm the person in charge of the teller.

In particular, during the era of planning at headquarters,
Through mutual funds, I glimpsed the global market.
I was yearning to do something globally.
But I did not take concrete action.

My hobby is reading a kind of business.
The book I have been most affected by is "The World is Flat" by author Thomas Friedman, a Pulitzer Prize writer.
My view of the world has changed after reading this book depicting rapid globalization.
And with the recent global expansion of Facebook,
I started to want to access the world.


Do not leave this.
I have to access to the world.
I have to rush to the world
I could have a dream.


Nevertheless, I don't have English language skills.

So I started studying English six months ago.
This is the reason why I am in here.


Despite I am a 41 year old man, I am like a adolescent,
Right now I can say.

I have a dream.

Black Swan (Movie)

I watched the movie "Black Swan"

Amazing!
Speechless!

I was overwhelmed by the terribly good acting of Natalie Portman.
She did nothing for her lover who fell into the darkside at "Star Wars".
In this movie, she herself falls into the darkside.
We can not know whether it is reality, or whether it is nightmare.
There is tension in every corner of the screen.
This is not a horror movie , but this is more terrible than ordinary horror movies.




My favorite quotes,
'The only person standing in your way is you'
I think so too.
I disturb myself.

I also want to forget black swan.
But never be a prisoner of the black swan!

I have gotten fatter.

Recently, people I've met said that I have gotten fatter. 

I was afraid to stand on the scale.
But I did.

Oh, No !

I weigh 77.3kg and my body fat 25.4%
I gained 5kg than two years ago.
And my physical age is 45 years.



Oh, Budda.
I am a 40 years old.
This is bad.

It reminds me of this phrase in book I read.
" Obese people are also drug addicts." 
This is a terrible phrase.

I decided that I will go to a sports gym two times a week.

Hello, World!

Hello World!

Today I started blog in English.

I am Japanese.
I live in Hiroshima, Japan.
I am a chuunenn salaryman. (means middle-age of the office worker.) 

I worked at bank.

I like music very much. 
In particular I love rock music. 
I want to speak English and make many friends all over the world.
If you want to know something about Japan, Please inform me.
