The people I love and keep around.

I am fortunate to have friends, and family even, that don't take it personal when we dont communicate on a regular basis. We know we are there for eachother and wont go anywhere, and we dont need constant reassurance about it. My friends know that I do like to keep to myself, they invite me places, and don't take it personaly when I kindly decline. I love them all for that. They dont get upset when my answer is "naw, ima stay home". I'm a bit older then the people around me now, I've done my fair share of going out and partying when I was younger back home. Seemed to get into trouble, didnt make the best choices back then and I'm kinda over it... A tell all would be rather interesting, if I ever did one. My point to that last part was simply to say, I've done the whole going out, I like my alone time now, and no one gives me shit bout it.
I am the type person, as Im sure with many others, that we know our friends and family have busy lives, we know that they have alot to do in their own lives that not to sound mean, but it does trump a phone call or text to you. And I'm ok with that.
Its sad because I know people that get all butt hurt because their once best friend now doesn't talk to them as much as they used to for some reason or another. They got a new boyfriend, they just got married, they had a new baby, they got new job, what ever the "new" thing in their life might be all they thought about was the fact that they hardly talk to them anymore... But you know what, communication works both fuckin ways. It would be a completely different story if you tried to keep contact, but they didn't resond with a simple text or an email. If you get a response saying, "I don't have time for you anymore, so we won't talk anymore.." Then you know what you have to do.
I dont cut people out of my life because they get to busy for me. Most single people surrounded by friends with families know where and how far to draw the line. You don't say "make time for me, I don't care if you have a family to go home to at night, lets go get shit faced and stay out all night"... NO you just don't do that. Or "hey my single friend just got a new boyfriend and now she has no time for me so ima not talk to her anymore" are you fuckin serious. Instead of being happy for her that she found someone, you get all bent out of shape because what? she has someone in her life now that fills a lonely void she had? Was she your only friend and you dont have anyone else to talk to? Goodness forbid you talk to or go out and do something with your own husband or kids. Did they do you wrong in some way?... no? then its that friend who should really re-evaluate keeping you in their life.
I will admit, I've cut people out of my life. It's been over many things, But to be honest, I don't feel like any of my reasons were pety. You be the judge.
Supposed friend borrows money and makes it a point to say they'll pay you back, but never does, and drops off the face of the earth. Let me make it really easy for you not to have to pay me back, and to releave my own worries about getting used again... snip.
Friends that have no remorse of being in a relationship but still trying to fuck anything that moves. Being in an open relationship is one thing, but cheating and not having the balls to tell your partner it's not working out because you don't want that confrontation, is just a bitch thing to do... snip.
I walk a fine line with this one because I dispise people that have no respect for other people, their feelings  or things that do not belong to them. They have no regard for anyone else but themselves. Me, me,me,me,me. There's a difference in living your life for yourself vs. just being an arrogant selfish asshole. The latter, I can't stand with a passion. GTFO... snip
To sum this entry up...
I have no animosity towards anyone in my life. Majority of it can be squashed with talking if I feel like they are someone I want to keep in my life. Yes I will try, but most times if someone shows their true colors I get turned off real quick and feel no need to salvage anything. It's mean, but really easy for me to shug it off and cut someone out. And trust me they will know. Numbers disappear from my phone real quick.  The ones that I do still have in my life, I love them all, and I'm sure they feel the same.

Japan's Declining Population

There are many other foreign countries that have declining populations but this one I hold dear to me simply because I am half Japanese... Well if you wanna get technical, 1/4 Japanese 1/4 Okinawan. But anywhos, So I read several stories, interviews, researches and the findings were quite interesting. I'm sure Japan's population decrease reasons are similar to others, but like I said, this one I hold dear to my heart, and blood, and my hairy arms and sideburns, and my little mustache hairs which I have to maintain on a regular basis (kidding - Okinawans are short and hairy sterotypes).
Many things are contributing to the decline, but I'll only hit on a few that I read articles on.
So the following was simply a population chart that I found from an article.

Reasons for the decline had both to do with the Men and Women.
When you think of Japanese women most people automatically think of a Geisha. Which to crush the idea of what most think a Geisha really is, they are NOT prostitutes. They simply are groomed to be refined hostesses and entertainers. In a way they are the most successful form of a business women. It is an art form that they study for years. Trained to entertain and be independent and a way to support themselves and not have to become a wife to be supported. In my opinion you can see because of that, why would you need a man?
An interview with a Japanese business women(not a Geisha) She simply has a successful business to run, she sees settling down and having a family will end all of what she has worked for. Married Japanese women tend to just be housewives, serving her husband and staying at home with the children. She has her men, but commits to no one and nothing. Has no need for constant male companionship, and to me that is a very admirable trait.
Ahhh yes, we need the men to invent things like this... err, I'm assuming this was a male invention, UNLESS! a women came up with it to prevent the men from needing to dip their wick in anything... brilliant!

When I first saw a clip of the above pic, I laughed so hard. dafuq the Japanese coming up with now.  The device is a virtual reality experience which men strap into(a full suit) that has undulating(why the fuck am I using that word) breast like shape and feel nubs and a hammer looking object that knocks the men's junk. It's yet another sex alternative that the wonderfully disturbing mind of Japanese culture have come up with. When men have these types of non-human contact sex devices what do they need women for? They simply do no work and can reach climax by just sitting there (sorry for that description) Unlike a dildo, sex doll, or a pocket pu**y, or regular old fashioned jerkin' it, you don't have to do any work once strapped in and it does it all for you = win!
And then finally... a simple right-to-the-point reason, They just have no interest in procreating. As with Im sure of many current generation people feel the same, this world is ugly, so much diseases running rampant, so much lying, so much cheating, so much bullying, so many harmful things that people do not want to expose a spawn to, so much has changed since they were growing up.
Or in my sad case, you just cant seem to keep anyone around long enough to knock you up... SOOO FUCKIN KIDDING!!!!!
