Pierced earring

The other day I watched thriller movie "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"

This movie of original story is more than 26 million copies sold worldwide.

This is very amazing.

But, I don't recommend it to everyone since it has lots of violent and cruel scenes.

Heroine in this movie is a punk girl.

She has a lot of pierce in her face.

Why does human have pierce?

Although there are many views,

I have heard that pain of piercing makes them realize that they are alive.

By the way,

I'm an ordinary middle-aged businessman, 

But I also had been pierced long time ago.

Really?

You won't believe it.

Let’s go back 20 years from now when I was still a college student.

On one Sunday, I went fishing with my friends.

I'm ashamed to tell that I'm not good at fishing

I don’t do well in surf casting.

Whenever I surf cast, the hook and the line with the sinker turns to the right.

Those who are not good at surf casting release the line from their finger quickly, 

it deviates to the right.

I failed surf casting many times,

I tried concentrating to release the line from my finger on time.

After many trial,

I can release the line on time.

Yes!

But then the accident happened.

I felt some pain at the back of my head, 

The sinker hit at the back of my head.

Ouch!

But my friends laughed at me.

Why?

I felt so embarrassed.

They went on laughing and pointed at me with their fingers. 

"Your ear, Your ear "

I understood why they laughed.

Surprisingly, I was hooked in my ear by a fishhook with sand worm.

It seems like pierced earring ….

Yes!

This is my experience of pierce.

I tried to pull out the hook from my ear.

But I couldn't do because of its barb.

Unfortunately it was a Sunday, 

we could not easily find a hospital nearby which is still in service.

While we were finding, off course I had pierce with sand worm.

(Sand worm is joke. It pulled out.)

After hours of finding, at last we found a hospital in service.

The doctor said, "I have never seen a situation like this before".

Oh!  God! 

Oh! Budda!

I really appreciated that I had such a rare experience.

I think that even such a funny or silly experiences makes me appreciate life.

I understand the feeling of people who have pierce.

I also realize that I am alive.
