I was indeed speaking about the old Japan. Japan today is enormously materialistic! Zeitaku wa teki da has shifted permanently to Zeitaku wa suteki da, and that's all there is to it.  I don't necessarily mind, really. Regarding the South, while it certainly had a sense of luxury, the censure of the newly rich was very much in effect. Who your daddy was mattered for an awful lot- self-made men with a lot of money were secondary figures by comparison to the psuedo-aristocracy.  (And of course, no amount of money could make a black man have real societal standing..)

But uh, Mongers- I give you my word that i'm not the least into that sort of thing, goodness. For the first time in a long time I've been speaking with women I am interested in- all it took was leaving the South.

This point deserves elaboration- When you take a room with 10 random Japanese girls, the quality is going to be significantly higher than 10 random girls from Memphis. First of all, half of the girls in our second sample are black, and thus right out. Of the remainder, two or three are too obese to consider, which is the only thing that precludes me from calling the Memphis singles scene slim pickings. Martin, Tennessee is significantly worse- intellectual attainment there died in a mudding accident.

Excellent, not that I have an issue with people being gay, but that aspect of your writing style was getting a bit stale, and it had gone past the point of plot resolution.  :)

edit:
You know what's weird, this evening I visited an old friend of mine and he was married to a Japanese woman for 20 years before her death, and only now have I thought of him in relation to your interests. 

He might have an interesting perspective on 'West-Far East' love/relationships, and I bet it's not nearly so simple/idolised as some would think.

You know who don't really have a materialistic society?  Berbers.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

They sure do hound you a lot to get you to buy their tours and wares for a non materialistic people.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

They are. They migrate from one end of town to the other, moving with the herd of presumably rich white people.

So you're the guy they send to rough people up when the payments aren't made? Nice gig if you can get it :P

 With the greatest care, I am trying to create a playlist for the trip to Martin. It will be a defense of my musical taste and a chance to please those I care about while sharing something so private and personal as one's musical taste-  the music I listen to I exclusively listen to by myself, so this is a rare opportunity.

  The confirmed list thus far is here-
Joujou Yuujou
Bad Bad Leroy Brown
Tabi no Tochuu
Running Man
Always the Cause
Joe the Georgian
A League of Notions
Naked Man
Kizuna
Birmingham
Back on my Feet Again
Mr. Pumpkin's Ridiculous Dream
