river in my neighborhood

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Tokyo, 2007.02.08

Wow, Tokyo. Just wow. I can't help but imagine that some day all this human-built crap will fall down and in so many centuries the river will once again be natural.

I hate what we do in the name of automotive convenience.

rand()m quote

It has always seemed strange to me...The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.

—John Steinbeck, Cannery Row
