i went and saw interpol today in tokyo, 16 years after i first met you.
it was funny this time because i actually knew all the words to their songs, when we went to see them together i didn't know any songs except say hello to the angels.
i should not be messaging you at all, but i am, because i'm a human being.
i have been living in japan for five years now, kobe for two years and tokyo for three. i make art zines, audiovisual work. i'm in a two person shoegaze band with my japanese big titty anime voice ex-girl friend who cheated on me. i do all of that but i'm really a salary man at a huge american IT company.
i play basketball three times a week at yoyogi park near where i live, the mecca of streetball in tokyo.
i fucking love being alive, it's amazing. i'm just a little boy from missouri but i live in the middle of tokyo.
i enjoy running into people in shibuya who walk into me while looking at their phones. it's my favorite hobby.
i shouldn't be sending you this.
feel free to say anything you want to me, or you can tell me to fuck off this time instead like i probably did to you before.
seeing interpol tonight really made me feel like i had to reach out to you to let you know, i remember you, i still remember all of it, all of us, and how it's affected my whole entire trajectory of my life to this point. it'll never go away. it doesn't bother me anymore, it reminds me more of how far i've come to get to this point in my life. i wonder what the future will hold everyday.
