and much like the best of theater, this stuff leaves me with a lingering bittersweet feeling, because while i'm marking out with my heart over what they're doing, i haven't really absorbed it to the point where it translated into my life. i can't say i've ever been completely devoted to something grand like that, nor have i employed whatever little skills i've been gifted with to their proper usage. i'd like to be that kind of figure to my loved ones in their moments of weakness, the ''keep pushing on'' kind of guy, but truth be told i'm often the first one to fold under pressure. i've abandoned a few of my dreams due to juvenile cowardice, instead of just trying it out. i will admit that on the best of days, a kobashi match can kick my ass enough to get me to be there and do something good for a friend or family member impromptu, and make my work out harder. strangely enough, this is also how i feel about my love for werner herzog movies
thanks for reading my gayass blogpost.
