Today I worked early. In the morning time, I enjoyed a Zoom meeting in English. Today's topic was the news which says young people tend to choose healthy foods, not tasty ones. Even though usually I rarely eat oily foods or so-called junk foods, this comes from the fact that I am already old enough, so can't eat oily ramen or tempura as often as young period. Returning to the topic, once I was young I chose bad habits such as drinking too much because I had already been desperate for this life, but now I choose a healthy life to enjoy various things.
At lunchtime, I enjoyed listening to Yellow Magic Orchestra's songs and thought about these things... You might have already noticed that I've written what song I am enjoying while writing this journal. Yes, I love music because I strictly (maybe from the bottom of my heart) believe that good music can bring some good vibes to my mind. In other words, within those vibes, I can LOSE myself comfortably (probably that's the meaning of the word "ecstasy"). Yes, simply I must be too square therefore need to be crushed by outer factors, and therefore need plenty of books.
As R.E.M. sings in their evergreen song "Losing My Religion", Life itself can be bigger than me. For example, why do I think of this kind of too abstract ideas? At least, I can't control/manage the ideas I tend to think about completely (even though I control what I will write in public). Thinking about that, finally, I find that everything in this world can have its profound essence which remains beyond me. At least, music is always bigger than me like mother,... Oh no, why did I choose the word MOTHER? Instead, I could choose the sea or the universe.
This evening, after having curry as dinner, I stayed in my room to make myself relax by thinking about various things. And also, I enjoyed reading Takashi Akutsu's public journal "Journals of Reading [阿久津隆『読書の日記』]" again. As a writer of journals as I have written above, I ENVY Akutsu's so keen eyes which reveal various details in his (or our) daily life, even though it can be one of his talents... So I need to create an original path of mine that can make this trial of writing journals more entertaining enough. However, TBH my sense of thinking any entertaining things can already have been old-fashioned at all.
