The ass is important

Un site cu texte, un peu non-ortodoxe, pentru JLPT 2. Dau peste manga. Bune bre curbele astea, atâtea sute de ani de ukiyo-e tre să fi lăsat urme….ca japonezii nu mai desenează nimeni ţâţe aşa mişto. La un moment dat, mă ţepenesc la interjecţia asta.

\”Nan daaa????….bakku-shan nee…!!!\”

Ce naiba ie bakku-shan?

I search Koujien…nothing. Turn to google…gives me that.

Ăsta e cu siguranţă cel mai weirdo loan word din japanese. From inglish \”back\” + ze doiche \”schoen\” of course, referitor la o femelă ce (ne) arată maiestuos din spate, însă terifiant din faţă. Mă aşteptam totuşi şi la antonim…furondu-shan. Se pare que aista non ieste.

Goodbye Madam Butterfly

Via Neojaponisme, some strange but logical frame of mind. That is, if you can call the japanese way of dealing with reality…a frame of mind. That is, if you can generally call womenlike tantalizing “not-speaking about the issue of not being able to speak” frame of mind ….a frame of mind.

I found it odd in the book that there are multiple stories of Japanese women easily calling up the women who are having an affair with their husbands and talking to them directly.

These days, wives will sue the other woman. If your husband cheats on you, you then sue the woman on the grounds of compensation for psychological damage. Even though it’s a problem between the husband and the wife, the other woman will have to pay.

Why does the other woman — and not the husband — have to take all legal responsibility for the cheating?

The wife can put up with the fact that she has been cheated on, because she believes, or tries to believe, that it’s just men’s nature. So the wife will tell the husband, “I will negotiate this for you.” It becomes a discussion of woman-to-woman. Instead of trying to improve the marital relationship, the idea is to pull the family together.

If the relationship is the problem, you just talk to the husband, right? But the woman’s aims do not include the relationship, but are to maintain the marriage, and thus, the family. So the wife needs to get rid of what’s getting in the way of things. If the other woman goes away, problem solved. Certainly the wife also tells the husband he’s been bad, and he may apologize. “Sorry, I was bad. Forgive me.” And he will say to the woman, “Since he has apologized, you also should do us a favor and go away. Your relation with my husband was just physical.” This is how the wife can cut out the other woman and let her know that the problem does not involve her. If you cast her away like that, of course she’ll be hurt. Telling her that her relationship with the husband was only physical is poking her where it most hurts. Obviously, the other woman doesn’t want to realize that.

Does the idea of a physical relationship with another woman not hurt the wife’s feelings?

She tries to make it so it doesn’t hurt her.

So she has to put up with it?

One other important thing is that sex is not seen as a very “pretty” thing in Japan. Your heart is purer than the physical relationship. As a married couple, your hearts are bound together, but your physical relationship is on a lower plane.

Physical relations are not a symbol of a deeper relationship?

Well, if you think about what I said just now, that idea is really just an excuse for men. But since the husband and wife are still “family,” this is the natural response, no? “Because we are family, we love each other and that’s not open for argument.” This kind of familial love is not open for argument. The Japanese concept of love is not the same as the word “love” in English. It’s the bond of family.

But it’s not like the idea of Western romantic love hasn’t also gotten mixed in there.

Yes, so Japanese women now also cheat on their partners. And there are women who follow Johnny’s Jimusho talent or Yon-sama as a way to satisfy themselves with a kind of ersatz love. There are women who fall in love and then cheat on their loves, and there are people who delude themselves with fake love. They are all lonely in their hearts. In their heads, they know they have the bonds of family and have lots of pride. But they don’t have anything in reality.

This kind of thinking is probably one of the reasons things reached this point

Sex anal şi cocaină

First, musiu Cohen at Beacon Theatre. Read here excerpts from the interview

And segonda, a strange, still reasonable matter: oare Leonard Cohen crede cu adevărat că sexul anal este….unsafe? Pentru a trece printre coarnele acestei non-dileme, ar trebuie comparate hypostasele:

1. Crack and anal sex

2. Speed and careless sex

De obicei, gastronomic vorbind, pentru un sex anal de calitate, se dozează atent următoarele ingrediente:

a. lubrifiant (nu pe bază de water!)

b. un penis în erecţie

c. un anus curajos und open….minded

d. circumstanţial, some music,  if dealing with a non open minded anus. Dacă, printr-o minune, prima piesă e Massive Attack- Live with me şi a dooa Leonard Cohen- The Future şi dacă respectivul anus femel nu se sperie prea tare de intomisiunile iubirii pure, atunci totul decurge smooth. Dacă însă următoare piesă e Sepultura- Arise, YOU MUST STOP!

e. profund circumstanţial, cocaină.

Revenind: Leonard Cohen is getting old.

Love – some japanese puns

First, this insightfully deep compasionate view of romance. Not very clever, but honest.

Interlude
A.S. dear chimaera rules, (and yes, that.s an anagram.) to answer your question, I.m not feeling well at all. On the contrary, it.s getting worse each day, otherwise I wouldn.t have had the gut to run blood tests….doooh. I am alone and afraid of death, to be more specific, afraid of dying alone and worst, afraid of dying alone, in pain (I really don.t understand pain…if god invented pain for some epiphanic end-visions, in my case, He – if “He” is not pol. correct, can we call “Him” IT?…pretty pretty pleeease – def. failed) and in some weird hospital. I.m also afraid of fat nurses. Now, you feel better now? Can you help me with anything? Or was some innocent question triggered by your utmost need of….human knowledge? Almost forgot…have a nice fuck tomorrow with your brit boys.

-for the stunned reader: that.s the degree of alienation a relationship can cause. my ex gf is constantly scanning this scrapbook with the fearsome 50 % fear that I shall publish kinky pictures, clips, stories, statuettes of her, not to mention the virtually not-existent sexy-erotic-nude-porno full lenght movies she thinks I have. The other 50 percent scanning is due to her announcing me she still cares for me, of course, in a friendly way. In my turn, I am constantly scanning her scannings so that I might induce how often she thinks of me (due to the 50 percent friendly care, not the other half). And while constantly scanning her scannings I wish I had syphilis last time we fucked. I love english language, but people suck
P.S feel free to leave comments,  I think it.s the beggining of a beautiful friendship.

The point
The japanese language is based on images. The kanji (graphic notions) expressing these images are figurative and intuitive. That results in: an abstract or complex notion is made up by adding 3 or more non-abstract notions together. I think that.s quite amazing, because one can literally SEE how mind works from simple representation (simple words) to abstract words.

The case
In a mail exchange with a distant (yet appealing) friend we came to dissect kanji by radicals. And because tomorrow everyone will fuck (some out of duty) the people they love or not, I would love giving you some dissemination.

1. 心 the radical for “heart, mind, soul, feeling” to which other radicals can (and in fact, are) added to form a new meaning
2. the actual used kanji (as a verb or noun) for “love” is 愛 (yeah, it.s the stupid tatooed sign one can see almost on every stupid american. or european.) The sign itself is composed by 4 radicals – claw (nail), covering (roof), heart, winter. There is one famous mnemonic for this kanji, via Issai- “when your heart is nailed down/ and in winter/ there.s no roof above/don.t think of me/ because i.m innocent.”
3. 情 – that one got our attention in the first place, as strangely resembling to a western image of sadness- “the blue heart” (ci pula mea ai uai ghiorghi, ti s.o facut inima albastra?). The main meaning of this kanji is “feeling, emotion, passion” but the exact significance of the composing radicals is…”blue heart”. And the compounds with questa kanji are also interesting:
-情死 – “double love suicide” but its meaning is “the death of feelings, or passion”
-情無 – “nasekenai” – the usual meaning is “miserable, shameful, deplorable, motherfucker” – literally, “lack of feelings”. This is especially interesting to think upon because the latter kanji, 無, beside being a mere negation, it.s a concept intensively used in buddhist terminology, signifying “the great Void, nothingness, lack of…everything, sunyata”. So, from the positive meaning (as positive the Void can be) in religion, the term gets a negative connotation in common language.

hospital

Yeap, romanian hospitals are just beautiful.

I got some blood test to run. I hate needles und hospitals.

But that.s not the point. The point is:

Why do they put TV sets in rooms with coma pacients?! It.s not like they could see or hear anything..

Butterflies

Rorty was a compulsory birdwatcher…Nabokov was more into butterflies. (muste de unt???)

Muzicantii din…Bremen?

Who are you …..Jacobs University Bremen?

Melancholia nu ie identică cu imbecilitatea

This one sticks to romanian.

Fac parte dintre acei retrograzi şi paseişti indivizi ce încă mai visează tălâmbi, seara sau dimineaţa, sau oricând my drinking problem kicks in, la timpurile demult a+puse ale daimyo.ilor (japoneza nu are marker pentru plural, dacă nu.l iexprimi în română, sună horific, dacă.l iexprimi, sună ca un anumit organ, respectiv pula), shogun.ILOR, florilor de cireş privite primăvara (asta ar fi…sakurE.LOR), katanE.LOR bine ascuţite, şi în general, la timpurile demult apuse ale clişeelor cu care James Clavell ne.a încântat ciclul gimnazial. (deşi gaijin, chiar şi în clasa octua, really sucked)

Cu toate astea, deşi sunt perfect conştient de faptul că toate lucruşoarele astea minunate nu doar că nu mai există ACUM, ci n-au existat NICIODATĂ, îmi place totuşi să mă gândesc la ele ca realităţi existente cel puţin în mintea mea şi a altora, în miliardimea de filme regarding romantica şi eroica japonie etc etc etc.

Ceea ce totuşi nu suport (nu din prea măreţe principii gnoseo+civilizatoare, ci fiindcă pur şi simplu mă zgărie pe creer) este ca ceea ce n.a existat niciodată şi cu atât mai mult nu mai există acum să.mi fie prezentat drept…real şi splendid.

The fact:

Fiind abonat la newsletterul unei edituri, primesc mirobolanta veste ca a apărut un nou textbook for indivizii aia carele ştiu ceva japanese, dar nu prea multă. Foarte entuziasmat de faptul că nu posed un mastercard pentru achiziţionarea respectivului textbook, mă mut repede pe Questia. Unde îl şi găsesc. Nimic nou, nimic senzaţional, aceleaşi pattern de studiu. Conştiiiincios, îl răsfoiesc până la sfârşit. La sfârşit, mare minune, găsesc un INDEX (foarte bine făcut, alcătuit, îngrijit, cu metodă domle, prietenii ştiu de ce) şi un glosar. Ca tot uominiul, mă oculez la… SAMURAI.

La motul SAMURAI, era cam aşa ceva:

“SAMURAI = războinic (nobil) japonez ce trăia în conformitate cu regulile de conduită Bushido”

Să.mi cadă ochii de iemoţie. Mi.au dat lacrimile, jur, la gândul bravului nobil luptător japonez ce toată ziua lupta şi când se mai odihnea oleacă, trăia după regulile de conduită Bushido. Cum s.ar spune, un individ civilizat, cu bun simţ, numai bun de însurătoare. Stupefiat de aberaţia uber conclusivă a acesteia definiţii până şi logic incorecte, mă deplasez fuguţa la termenul Bushido, bucuros de faptul că o să dau sigur peste o altă imbecilitate.And indeed I did!!!

BUSHIDO = calea războinicului, codul de conduită al samuraiului japonez, bazat pe onoare şi loialitate

No shit! Rewind:

DEFINIŢII

1. samurai.UL nu era doar un războinic. nu stătea noaptea la pândă cu furculiţa. nu se bătea toată ziua cu ninja+sha cei răi. care e sensul cuvântului nobil? unii samurai ierau mai nobili decât ceilalţi. samurai nu trăiau după regulile de conduită Bushido. din mai multe motive.  Bushidoo ieste un termen inventat de Inazoo Nitobe pe la 1900. cărţulia lui ieste mai mult o poveste eroico erotică. samurai.I iegzistau cu siguranţă şi înainte de 1900. Bushidoo ieste un termen generic deci, intrat în uz după 1900, ce desemnează fie: a. cărticica lui Nitobe fie b. uriaşul corpus de texte ce se referă la diferitele aspecte sociale, morale, fizice ale vieţuirii samurai.ULUI pe cesta terra (din tot corpusu aista, mă îndoi profund că au fost publicate in lingua europensis mai mult de…1, 2 %)

samurai.UL iera şi el pervers, se ducea la curve, se uita la reviste porno (ahhh, shunga, shunga!!), se droga, era homosexual, fura, îşi ucidea his fellow samurai, îşi trăda stăpânul etc etc etc

2. bun. am aflat ce iera samurai.UL. acum aflăm ce ieste Bushidoo, recte codul de conduită al samuraiului japonez. Pardon, ce.am spus?!?! samuraiul japonez…hmmm…asta ca să.l deosebim neapărat de ….samuraiul neozeelandez? sau samuraiul australian? sau jegosul samurai britanic? da, cu siguranţă ăsta e motivul.

…şi doar, ce dracu să caute contextul istoric şi verişorul lui, cel social, într-o definiţie? ce nevoie avem de ceva ani, date, cifre, demografie? important ie să ştim que samuraiul era…era ceva mişto.

Now, lăsând la o parte ridicolul definiţiilor, SAMURAIUL era o …slugă, un servitor. Verbul “haberu” sau “ji-suru“, împreună cu anticul “saburau” exact asta înseamnă: a servi, a sluji. Datorită condiţiilor, datorită tuturor condiţiilor din vremea aia, a devenit o slugă ce lupta. Se bătea. În timp, şi.au creat un set de reguli, un îndrumar mai bine zis, de.abia mult mai târziu…oarecum sistematizat. Hagakure e un bun exemplu. Esenţială era supravieţuirea. Mult maiestuoasa onoare (există cel putin 15 termeni ce semnifică +onoare+,  cel mai mediatizat e GIRI) era probabil un egoism japonez.

Nu mă deranjează să ascult poveşti, să văd filme despre oameni ce iubesc, sunt oneşti, nu îţi înşeală niciodată încrederea, au principii, sunt inteligenţi. Nu mă deranjează să mai revăd încă odată The House of Flying Daggers.

But please, don.t tell me with a delicate smile this stuff is actually REAL!

Party time

From “Hagakure”:

“Meditation on inevitable death should be performed daily. Every day when one’s body and mind are at peace, one
should meditate upon being ripped apart by arrows, rifles, spears and swords, being carried away by surging waves,
being thrown into the midst of a great fire, being struck by lightning, being shaken to death by a great earthquake,
falling from thousand-foot cliffs, dying of disease or committing seppuku at the death of one’s master. And every day
without fail one should consider himself as dead.
There is a saying of the elders’ that goes, “Step from under the eaves and you’re a dead man. Leave the gate and the
enemy is waiting.” This is not a matter of being careful. It is to consider oneself as dead beforehand.”

… it.s not the fear of death, but the fear of dying alone.

…..they favored large clubs

Literally, Oh my GoD!

“The Circumcellions took the premise to lemming-like proportions (literally) and decided that martyrdom was the ultimate Christian value. They set out to accomplish it… by any means necessary.

According to the gospels, Jesus told Peter to put away his sword in the Garden of Gethsemane, shortly before the Crucifixion. Many Christians have taken this command as an injunction to nonviolence and evidence of Christ’s pacifism.

The Circumcellions, on the other hand, took this passage to mean that they shouldn’t use bladed weapons. Instead, they favored large clubs, which they inexplicably called “Israelites.”

Using their “Israelites,” the Circumcellions whacked their victims around in the hopes of provoking their own martyrdom, all the while shouting “Praise the Lord!” in Latin. Because of their combativeness, they were also known as “agonistici,” the Latin word for fighter which is the root of the modern word “antagonist.”

Since they were destined to be martyrs, the Circumcellions didn’t trouble themselves with such virtues as chastity and poverty. Frequently drunk, they cavorted with women and often robbed those victims who failed to assist their martyrdom with a sufficiently violent counterattack.

Frequently, their enthusiasm outstripped their common sense. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, a much-discussed historical incident along the highway illustrated this point:

A number of these fanatics, fattened like pheasants, met a young man and offered him a drawn sword to smite them with, threatening to murder him if he refused. He pretended to fear that when he had killed a few, the rest might change their minds and avenge the deaths of their fellows; and he insisted that they must all be bound. They agreed to this; when they were defenceless, the young man gave each of them a beating and went his way.“

I don.t remember where exactly I ran into the following (academic) statement: Jesus used metaphor in order to reach even the mentaly weak (read “stupid”) guys. I.m pretty sure the same Jesus would have wanted to be a little more specific on the matter of…swords, clubs, sharp&mean tools used for slaughtering another human being.

I.m also fascinated by the wondrous logic that made the Circumcellion guys possible: from “Put the sword away!” to “…but you can beat to death your fellow with a club” it is a pretty long and….intuitive way. It.s quite like love these days. Women, by some same wondrous logical mechanism, are most likely to infer from “I love you” to “…but I feel the constant urge to lie to you and fuck another guy”

AMEN!
