The Birdman Cometh.

17.

Can tweet like a bird, hence the name. Has more books in his room than he has articles of clothing. Gamer. With the 4000 songs in my iPod, I still can't find my song. Heck, I can't even listen to them all. Loves art of all kinds. Questions anything, probably everything. Likes sushi.

My own personal blog. No frills.

Mascareri

sylverstar:

Profess passion,

Digress from action

The lone Artisan struggles

Unable to express under duress

 

Tools of the trade:

Lies, perpetually made;

Vanity, constantly displayed;

Pride, eventually strained;

And, Reality, finally feigned 

 

All the while, the same delicate hands

Crafted the masks seen on the stands

Although tainted by the plaster of pretend,

Still, the Artisan wears a smile perfect from end to end

historical-nonfiction: In 1924, university professor Hidesamuro Ueno brought his dog, Hachiko, to Tokyo. Every morning Hachiko saw his master off at the front door, and every evening he greeted him at the nearby train station. The professor died in May 1925, but the faithful dog still went to the station every day to wait for him. He kept this up for 10 years. The dog became a national sensation in 1932, when this story was published, and he’s since been the subject of books and movies. Today a bronze statue stands at Shibuya Station, where he kept his vigil.
