Girls 2 Women?

A little while ago from now, I heard from a man that R&B is for females and I still keep it in mind. Really true? If it is true, people should think of the great famous Boys 2 Men as Girls 2 Women or as Boys too feminine. Besides, this would more happen in the minds of Americans, from the viewpoint from him.

Actually, I do know some US men that like R&R, but I do not know any US men that like R&B so far. Despite the fact that I know of so few people (comparing the number of who I know of to that of American population) that I cannot reach THE answer, this might be the truth. I like R&B as well as R&R both Japanese and American. When I talked about R&B to some of the male men, there were, I think now, a few of them looking a little, little, little bit discouraged. In Japan, there is a distinctive music, called Enka. Maybe, this type of music might be on the same situation as R&B in USA. If I were to see people that love this Enka, I should think of them as musty people or as very much exclusionists.

Historically, SOME people were indirectly or directly bashing white musicians singing Blues, were complaining of them, were calling the musicians "Plastic Souls" . Things like discrimination or prejudice occur even on music? However, it is possibe that there should be some males from their country to another that boastly shout the name of the musician or the band while they are talking to their friends in the country where the males come if some musicians or bands become very famous internationally and have the great award. Discrimination and prejudice are often based from the selfish viewpoint (the people that told me about this know this viewpoint is strange, but surely it is), while the thoughts somewhat interest me and I would like to know it much better.

Which side Folk Music is in? Hip-Hop? Blues? Jazz? Ratin?

No Girls 2 Women on the earth. Ahh, anyway, I do not like Boys 2 Men.

No Real Golden Week

Nothing special happened during this Golden Week. Nothing....Unluckily....

On 28th, I went back to Fukuoka to get my passport. From the moment I got it, I have been looking forward to the chance to use the passport--I do not want to travel alone to any contries. Traveling alone is such a dreadful thing, I imagine. A backpacker, I know this kind of people by seeing some movies like "Love Actually", is out of my hope. Of course you know, to have his passport means the guy can be expected even to become a backpacker, but as I said, it is not that I hope. Even when I pass the exam to enroll some graduate-university, I wish I will go there with someone... It means, I have to study hard, plus to find someone going to the US with me. Ohh, it sounds like a pussy, a coward, or the like. But all TV news programs and papers, exept for gossip papers (that like to remark a TV or Movie Star's money situation and love with the other Star), says "Japanese students abroad were killed!", "Japanese overseas were abducted!" or "A deadly bus accident occured overseas, but there should be no Japanese! ( I don't like this news. Whether Japanese were in or not is no relation to the misfortune.)". So, this is the reason I never want to travel alone.

On 1st and 2nd, I worked and sometimes like rest time I had to talk with the middle-aged people. Communication with them were not always well. Talking about the idles in the previous era I did not know was just boring me. Generation Gap, that is all I want to make up somehow. Anyway, working there is so difficult.... A man next to me never help and explain me about what I should do. In addition, he is a moody and evil-minded person.

On Thursday, Friday, and Sunday, I was just studying....means nothing special.

On Saturday, I could meet my girl. It's been a little while since I met her. Beforehand, I changed all of the furniture's settings to refresh the mood and atmosphere, and kind of the air with her. But doing things was as usual.... Just seeing LOST.

Questions:
When can I see LOST season 3?
Does the movie "LOST ISLAND" realate to the TV version?
