Mecca has been found!


There are very few times in life when you find something that truly sings to your heart and soul. Something that echoes with who you are and who you want to be. Today I found such a thing. Ninja Warrior. Oh yeah I have jumped into the inexplicably fun world of genius. Go ahead. Google it. You'll see what I'm talking about. Who would have thought Japanese t.v. would be so fun.

Ok so yes I have a love affair with a country that I will never fully understand no matter how long I try. Dealing with a culture so vastly different from my own does have mines and I am sure the culture shock I go into when I finally reach that near mythic shore will be equal to a mild coma but there is beauty there. Forget the shinto temples, the fads and bustle of Tokyo, the food and manners. While they are nice right now all the beauty that my mind can see is the half an hour of happiness I find when Ninja Warrior is on. I cheer, I laugh, I even make sqwiggy faces when someone doesn't land right.

I want more Ninja Warrior! Sadness. It's not on for the rest of the night. :(

But oh the memories...
