I had some time, so I wandered around Osaka Castle. I enjoy watching foreigners and imagining what their lives are like back in their own countries.

Stacking things vertically to save space is one of humanity's great inventions, yet it's ironic that humans themselves stack vertically, working in skyscrapers and living in tower apartments.

The plants by the window looked cold, so I moved them onto the kotatsu. They perked right up.

Watching old movies, I notice how all the men are constantly smoking, and it makes me feel like it was a rather crude era. I wonder how our time will look when viewed from 50 years in the future.

The bloodstain from falling while drunk won't come out no matter how many times I wash it.

I think “something special” isn't about doing something special, but about steadily doing ordinary things until they become something special. Isn't that true for work, relationships, and politics too?

I still don't know which side is the front and back of the printer paper I've been using for 20 years.

Clouds look like food to gluttons, but to a cultured person like me, they look only like letters. Yesterday's clouds spelled “YES.” Perhaps a warning to myself for agreeing to everything and then regretting it.

Cold, allergies, dim light—a sleep solution that fixes it all. It's a bit stifling.

To seize business opportunities, some believe work doesn't have to be perfect—but I think it shouldn't be perfect at all. People are drawn, without even realizing it, to things that make them want to speak up.

I absolutely refuse to wear down jackets because their puffy shape goes against my sense of aesthetics. It's been freezing these past few days, and I'm shivering. I wish it would warm up soon.

My iPad's fingerprint sensor stopped working. I might have washed my dishes so much that my fingerprints wore off.

My body is definitely aging, yet the path ahead still feels like an uphill climb for the time being. Will there ever come a time when it feels like a downhill slope? When that happens, will I feel happy, or will I find it dull?

In winter, I reduce my allergy medication. But it seems some kind of pollen is already in the air.

On a weekday afternoon in a residential neighborhood, I was running around an empty lot by myself when I got covered in seeds that were a pain to remove. I've lived fifty years like this, and my small pride is that I've never been stopped for questioning.

Sometimes your efforts go unrewarded. Whether you get rewarded depends on luck. Effort is hard work, but improving your luck is easy. Just don't do bad things and do good things. When you feel like you're just one step away, pick up a piece of trash.

I'm currently taking a break from drinking, so I have a drink every three days. I keep the amount small, and just some seaweed as a snack is fine.

I thought about what I want to do and should do in my 50s. Saving money was the first thing that came to mind, but I realized that if I put that first, I wouldn't be able to do anything else. For now, I'll just focus on work.
