Yoke, Dinner with EK plus other news

I was really tired from the past week of work so I really passed out. But I did manage to wake up early. I wanted to do some laundry, but that plan went bust when I got a call from EK early in the morning. There was a meeting at the Yoke office today, but he wanted to meet up earlier to get some lunch. Too bad he was late by 45 minutes, punk ass. He was questioning whether I would make it on time or not, and he’s the one that’s late. There was this Festival there in the Noge area around Sakuragicho. It was weird because I was waiting for EK and I met two other people who were going to the YOKE meeting too. One of them was looking around the place because of the festival, and the other was going to go the meeting early to set things up for the meeting. So after all that time, I was able to see a couple of shows. I saw a main one right out front of the Crossgate center where they were displaying an Okinawan dance. There were a bunch of clowns there, which I thought was weird, since I didn’t know that they had clowns in Japan. But I guess that they do.

The YOKE meeting was just as usual and nothing really special. It was a time that was spent more efficiently and that each section had a certain amount of time to it and how long that we would discuss it. That was much better for everyone and things seemed to get accomplished. It was good because everyone was able to get their voice in, even though many of the members weren’t able to make it. We had elected some of the people who would be the leadership of the newly founded organization. I think that the setup was good, but just that they lack the ability to really do many things. They are more of a support group that has limited responsibilities and duties, but at least there is something that is setup to help and aid the government of Yokohama. So I’m happy with the end result and there has been many things that have hindered and affected the startup, but at last, something was setup to be productive.

After the meeting, we went around Yokohama to see what we could find for dinner or something to do. All the members went to a little café that was really inexpensive near the Sakuragicho subway station. It was really cool, but the drinks really weren’t the greatest. It was fun to talk to everyone and just relax. They hardly get a chance to see and meet each other, so it’s nice when they do. From that point, people started to go home. Everyone is really busy and it’s hard to find a time for them to meet and hang out with each other. Everyone ended up leaving and it was only just me and EK for dinner. We went to the Yokohama (Sakuragicho) location for the restaurant that we went to in Shibuya before. We had a discount and it wasn’t a bad place to hang out. So that’s what we did. It was pretty good and I think that we’ve gone there a little too much though. I always get the feeling that there is something up with EK. He always works it out that everyone would want to leave and that we just hang out with each other. It’s interesting how it always happens that way.

I had learned some interesting news today. Alex Smith from my high school, and the principal’s son, was drafted into the NFL, as in he’s a professional football player making millions of dollars and playing a game as work. Wow! That’s really all that I could say. I knew that our high school football team was good, but I didn’t realize that they would be that good; I mean he was the first overall pick in the draft, which is amazing. He’s up there with the best like Michael Vick and the Mannings. So, I want to wish the best of luck to him. I can’t imagine that we were in the same Spanish class and now he’s all big and stuff like that. It’s really surreal.

Anyways, I have other news too. It’s about BH and how she’s being a bitch to people. From the story that I heard, and believe, she’s been doing things that I don’t find to favorable. In fact, it’s so bad that I wouldn’t really want to call her a friend anymore. What she did was wrong and I hope that she knows it. I thought that she had learned a lot and become a better person, but I guess since I’m not there to see her anymore, she’s changed into someone who is much worse than from when I met her. I’m really not surprised; in fact I was expecting it. But I was expecting it to happen much sooner and in a different way. She’s always only just looking after herself and not about the interests about other people. She would rather be selfish so she could be happy at the expense of other people. That’s not a good way to live and proves that she hasn’t changed much from when I first met her. I know that she will be reading this and that I hope that it does something to change the way that she behaves and the way that she interacts with other people. But I know that in the end, she won’t. She hasn’t been able to develop the strong enough character to put Morals over emotions. She doesn’t have the firm principles that other people have to guide their lives. She just compromises to make sure that she’s happy and even if other people aren’t. I hope that you’re happy with what you’ve done and how the organization now won’t be able to work well with each other. You once told me that you wanted to be part of something that was there to help other people, then why would you be the reason why one falls apart? You should think of the consequences of your actions before you take them, so that other people wouldn’t have to clean up after you when you mess everything up. I hope I said that well because it’s been years and still nothing has changed. I wasn’t happy when I heard it, but only believed it to be true, even though I can’t really verify it. I’m not too shocked that it happened, only that I allowed it to happen.
