A Blast From the Past

Posted by Myles in Culture, Whatever on May 31, 2010 | one response

Hey there sports fans! It is I, the simply awesome entity known as Uruwashii, bringin’ it back to ya old school with my old circa ’09 Q1 look. Change seems to be the current trend outlining this generation. Let me exemplify!

Let’s go abroad! More and more aspiring young adults are taking the leap to either study or work abroad. Such occupations include education, tourism, international business, prostitution….err.

Let’s get pretty! Plastic surgery, liposuction, face lifts, bot-ox, organ enlargements, etc. were services catered to only a select demographic during the ‘olden days.’ Present times tell a new tale, where you no longer question whether or not your friend’s perfect nose is a result from genetics or an operation, but instead how much it cost.

Let’s get loud!(a neat song by Jennifer Lopez btw!!) Picture 1999, if you’re old enough to be able to. Now brainstorm at least 10 ways you were able to express your opinion in a public nature, during this time. If you were up to date with technology, you might have been able to conjure up a geocities website, leaving a large fraction of the world envious by your ability to post an animated gif. blogger, twitter, tumblr, flickr, wordpress, blogspot, facebook, need I say more?

People as a whole are evolving into global citizens. I look forward to the day that when asked where you are from, one would answer: Planet Earth….. that is if technology allows it

What I’m trying to get at, has very little to my ramblings above. I simply am going to organize the output of my personal web presence into a Triforce.

Uruwashii.com – My personal soapbox, things from me and me personally.

uruwashii.tumblr.com – Neat things I find on the ‘net that affect my mood in absolutely any way, shape, or form.

twitter.com/MyLuMarque – Quick, instant updates on whatever I am doing, thinking, or seeing.

What does uruwashii mean?

1. An early Japanese term for warrior, "uruwashii", was written with a kanji (picturegramm) that combined the characters for literary study ("bun") and military arts ("bu"), and from as early as the late 12th century the educated poet-swordsman is held up as the ideal of human endeavour. This class would call themselves "bujutsu-do"; those that follow the way of bujutsu. Reference

2. This question goes back to the Confucian ideal of balance that Japanese inherited, probably from the 7th century or so. The word used by both to express this concept, for the "gentleman" by the Chinese and the warrior by Japanese, is (hin), pronounced uruwashii in Japanese, meaning both "balanced" and "beautiful.

Whether you accept it or you don't, beauty is one of the most important details in your everyday living.
