Cherry boy under a Cherry blossom tree.....
Life is short, live hard
Almost everybody in Tokyo is a "cherry" at the moment.
Yea, it's the "Cherry Blossom Season" in Japan, which will last for another week or so. We the Japanese have had a long time custom to go 'n see these beautiful pink monsters with a bottle of sake in one hand, and a slice of salami or cheese on the other.......and just drink like fish (=whales not included (> <)
Take a look at this foto.
I took it about 3 days ago in Aoyama.
"How many roads must a man walk down....before you call him a man....."
That's right, everytime I see those petals blowin', I ask myself " am I a man yet?"
And the answer is always .....NO.
So every year in the month of April, these Cherry blossoms reminds me that I am still a "Cherry boy"....... I guess you
boys or dirty hairy men outthere USED to be a C-boy about 500 years ago too...........and going straight to the point, I believe the reason we Japanse like getting drunk and get wacked in the head with a sake bottle underneath these "pink monsters" is that it reminds us of the days when "we used to b a cherry"....a pure, honest and thankful fairy boy in a fairy tale.......without any pubes or political views, calling Dalai-lama "Dalai MAMA"........
Every one of us used to have those moments, when our souls and hearts were "pink and pure" like those cherry blossoms, but to be honest, you lost 'em by entering the "nasty hole of adulthood"........which inevitably turns your inner-child into a "Muddy Monster".............I hate it, but gotta take it.
But you know, I like the way I am right now, as you probably too.
I don't want to go back in time when Michael Jackson was still black. This very moment is the most precious, the most exciting, the most passionate. NOW RULES! don't you think so?
Lastly, I do want to go to "Hanami"(get drunk under C-blossoms) with Mr.Michael Jackson......I mean, will he start that moonwalk when he gets drunk? What do you think, cherry boyz?
