pierced-ear

if you have known me for quite some time, you most likely have seen my pierced left ear.
it has been more than 4 year since i did that. since then i have been asked many times of the reason i did that. it's not because it is a big deal, but it is more to the image i had been carrying until then contrasted with that pierced ear.

of course, i have been coming up with a lot of reasons. however, lately if people ask, i often can't really recall why i did that.

i can recall quite clearly minutes before the first piercing in front of the store. i was nervous! although i knew it is not something so permanent like tattoo, i still felt nervous.

it seems that sensation alone has taken over all the memory about how i arrived at that very decision. at least, it was so until just now. i was just looking for some old japanese songs that i listened so much when i was a kid. it all started from "rindu rindu aisawa", and then i remembered "Driver's high". watched the youtube. and went to the anime.



and suddenly all the memory came back. and perhaps, he was one of the very first reasons why i decided to pierce my ear. a very good movie about a good 22 year-old eikichi!

if we were somehow to film portraying such a man, i really wouldn't mind to pierce my ear back just to go for the audition! ;)

anyway, this pierced ear over here will always remind me of the sacred promise to be like him. to be a world-changer, changing the world to be a better place. even in the least significant possible way.
