The five
The five. (Part I)
It had is been a long time since they got get together. Too long much, everyone thought. The afternoon passed past and the five talked and talked for hours. Rememebering their childhoods, all the bad and good things they had have done. But today the gang is together again.
The day was getting darker. Less and less people remained until the five were the only ones in the bar.
- Do you think you are tough? Try to live for four mounths, in the desert... with nothing! - Yelled Number One.
- That´s nothing. I have been living at in the top of the highest mountain on in the planet for three weeks. That was tough! - Number two replied.
- You bunch of pussies... Last mounth I broke the dive record by a human diving getting so deep in the ocean that it will remain for decades. - said Number three.
- I have been living with a cannibal? canival civilization in the jungle, that never had any contact with any other human beings but themselves (if you can call them human beings) and they thought I was the devil and tried trying to kill me every fucking day... That is tough - Nobody said anything, they were all looking at Number four.
- Ohh you idiots, all of you think you are great, all your adventures: the desert, the mountains, the ocean, the jungle... morons. If you think you are tough, you should try to live with my wife for one week... you will see what tough is.
Everybody laughed.
- That one was good, said Number five.
- Why don´t we try to go on? do some adventure together, like the old days.
- Yeah, let´s try something.
- What should we do then?
After a moment of reflection.
- Death mountain. - whispered Number five.
All knew that mountain and they had have never been there. Everybody knew that mountain. The stories of that mountain are terrifying. They have been listening to those that stories since they were kids. Everybody knew that the name wasn´t a bluff. Anyone who dared to go to that mountain never came come back to tell.
A tense moment passed through all and after this pause all looked at each other with a smile on their faces and saying yes with their eyes.

Les propriétaires du café s'appellent Dave tous les deux et ils sont américains tous les deux. Le café sert la cuisine américain et il y a beaucoup, beaucoup de gâteux. Mon mari adore les gâteaux. Il a choisit un morceau de gâteau chocolat, avec confiture de framboise. Je n'aime pas beaucoup des gâteaux, mais j'ai aimée le rouleau de porc et le 'hot dog'. Quand nous sortions, nous allons été très rempli!May 2, 201330
- Le Counting Crows concert Le soir dernier, je suis allée regarder un groupe, 'Counting Crows', avec mon mari à le Hammersmith Apollo à Londres. Mon mari a m'introduit à le groupe pendant l'université, alors j'ai eu très bonne mémoires. Le groupe n'a pas joué leurs chanson plus célèbre, mais ils a joué mon deux chansons préféré, alors j'ai été très contente. Le chanteur a été très drôle, parce qu'il a mimé beaucoup pendant qu'il chantait.April 24, 201320
Long Island
Last Sunday I came to the US again from Japan. I won't have a chance to go back to Japan for at least several months. Here in Long Island the weather is very nice when it's sunny. Today it is so beautiful a day that I'm tempted to forget about work and just go on a hike, but I don't think I can. Why is life full of duties? But I'm starting to feel a bit differently talking with people here. People here seem to be more optimistic compared to Japanese people, somehow. I'm curious about why, but have no answer. Talking with optimistic, encouraging people makes me feel a lot better even if the amount of work is the same. One reason why Japanese people are pessimistic may be that we lost in the war. American or European industry have always been ahead of us, so we had an inferiority complex. The positive side of the feeling is that we worked very hard to catch up with the US or other countries. The negative side is that we still constantly feel that what we are is not what we should be. It is quite stressful feeling this way. I did not realize that feeling until I came to the states.
