Saturday, June 3rd.
It's been a pretty boring week yet I found yesterday to be quite exciting for a few minutes. You see, there's a typhoon swaying around Japan right now and it was blowing across Tokyo all of yesterday. I captured some great footage of the rain as it spouted down Shin Okubo, an area where I frequent with friends because of the delicious food.
Now today I am laying in bed with a cough and runny nose. I've got these large headphones on and I'm listening to Ichiko Aoba for the first time. I feel at peace with her singing and guitar work.
Listening to her play and vocalize with such strong focus has me wanting to bring my life back to the strengths I had. Before moving here to Japan I had this strong sense of urgency to create and show my work off, now I feel like the pace of life is softened and I no longer urge myself to create quickly. It's kind of been a negative because it's stopped me from creating at the rate I once was but it's kind of nice too because it has me being self reflective to what I want to create.
I've got a closet full of skateboards that are just waiting to be put on the site but I'm quite slow.
