Was stationed in Ft. X. and had the chance to do some digging out in the boon docks there.

Fantastic ammonite!
I like ammonites, they have so different shapes of their shells! Some scientists believe, that some species survived the createcous age into the danian age (Lebanon is mostly early-middle cretaceous and Jurassic)
I wish ammonites were still around)

I just finished cooking and eating the Ramen, and honestly, it took me back to Japan when I was there.

When you reach a certain point in your life, Ningen Isu finds you. They cannot be found otherwise. These gentlemen went to such prestigious colleges that had a very good chance of getting jobs at prestigious employers. But then, they picked to play music instead. Probably because of their intelligence, they realized that happiness was much more valuable in the long run than working for some "prestigious" a-hole and living a life of stress and misery as a result. 1780s japanese buddist monk, 1880s Meiji period scholar, 1980s yakuza in one video. This band sings about wanting a light shone on them yet they are the lightsource.They're not afraid to use silence as part of their music. I think the philosophical meanings of the song are prone to listener confabulation hence interpretations will differentiate from person to person, an unavoidable liability. I love Ningen Isu!
