Shrewd Living
Dictionary.com -> astute or sharp in practical matters
Anyways, what is shrewd.. is it shrewd to move to Tokyo? Hmm.. perhaps not, but one must sometimes exchange pure shrewdness for some level of gamble in life. Perhaps the right amount of gambling is part of truly being a shrewd fellow.
Our friend KK is getting married, and I have spend a great deal of time w/ him recently, from partying in Hawaii to partying in Vegas. In Vegas.. I learned more a bout his ideas on marriage and life. You see, everyone is skeptical of this marriage because he seems to be rushing into it.
I too question it.. but in the end, he's just willing to take a big chance on this and ignore some of the warning signs in the road. You have to admit, even with no warnings and all green lights it may not work out -- there is never an absolute. To be shrewd is to gamble effectively within your means. In KK's case, I don't think he's being very shrewd, but it doesn't mean he won't be happy. He's a good guy and if he loves the girl and has thought this thru, then I congratulate him on finding true love. I need to do that oneday. I wish him the best -- wedding is in 1 month!
This weekend I gambled w/in my means and lost all of my means! Hhaaha. Yeah it was pretty sad. I was winning at first, but lost in the end. Alas... tis a tragedy.
Anyways there is more to report, but not all at once. I met up with his friend Res the Godfather who is an interesting chap. KK and Res both were way more excited than I am about my moving to Tokyo. I guess it is an exciting thing to do. Hmm.... I'm more anxiety driven now.
My cashflow is sucking. I bought alot of crap (shoes, shirts, ties, suits), along with travel, gambling, etc so it is a rough month financially. When I sell my car and get my apt deposit back it should help get me back in the black.
