What is history?

Perhaps a diary should be the thing to write down what happened in that day. But I think it also could be the place to state your opinions, feelings or thoughts about something. So, today I'm going to write a book report.
The name of the book is ‘What is history?’ based on a speech made by E.H.Carr in 1961 in Cambridge University. The most famous part of this book is "History is a continuous process of interaction between the historian and his facts, an unending dialogue between the past and the present." Maybe you would wonder at the word "his facts" because the history is often tought as an objective thing with no doubt. If the that 'common sense' was right, "his history" must have been changed to "the history". But the thought of 'an objective history' is wrong, because it's inevitable that every history is affected by the interpretation of the historian as long as the historian chooses the import fact from every fact which occureed in the past. However, the atitude we should take toward this truth is not neglect nor pessimism. We need to identify the accuracy of the fact that is choosen by the historian and the objectivity between the fact and his interpretation. If this procedure is taken correctly, then you have to generalize his fact to get some lessens which would contribute to the future in a certain way. This is the benefit of study of the history and why we need to learn it.
The interpretation of a certain fact is various, but the fact itself is only one. A few years ago Japan and China argued the problem in the history such as Yasukuni Shrine problem. The difference between their opinion is lied on their interpretation of the fact. We quarreled because we looked at a mountain from different points. As long as we looked at a same mountain, we can end up in gettting the same picture of the mountain. In order to achieve the purpose, both people need to understand from where the opponent is looking at the mountain through dogged dialogue.

My sweet days has gone

Today I got on a full train for the first time in four years.It reminded me of my younger days before I enter my university. Since I was an elementary school student,so pretty a boy I think I was, my school zone hasn't been changed for the reason that the schools I went was in the same place. My house was a bit far from them, so I needed to use trains and subways as a matter of course. As a resultI had to get on a full train every morning except Sunday. That was so a tough job I think. There was almost no space in the train. Every people keep their silence while the train was running, and when it arrived at a station ,then they started pushing and shoving in order to get off the train. Approximately 80% of the people on the train werer middle-aged men. They were bigger than me when I was a child, and some of them smelled so bad that the people around he/her can't put up with the smell. Please imagine the desperate situation I had been in for nearly 12 years.
I was emancipated/liberated from it two years ago, because my university wasn't in the same place as before. Then how comfortable my school zone became! There was no congestion/jam in the train since the direction trains go to was the contrary to downtown. Almose every day I could sit and even sleep in the train. The time it cost from my home to the school was shortend from 45minutes to 15minutes. I think in some parts that enables my school days in university so wonderful.
Now the fantastic story ends. I have to leave home at least 30 minitus ago. surely,it was better than the sitiuation of my friends who live in far from my university,say 2hours or something like that. But once you experience the convinience, it is difficult for you to disconnect from it.
Anyway, please come back my sweet days!!

My First Blog In English!!

Helo,everyone!
I sets myself to keep a diary in English from today. That because it was recommended in a certain text book of English, when I browse it in a book shop in my university. Probably no one would correct my English diary. But I think this could be some help for me to improve my poor activating ability of English, even if this diary became a kind of complacence stuff.
So, let's start my first diary in English!
Today was the begininng day of Pro.K seminar which I belong to. It was not so easy to enter this seminar, because you were required to submit some 4 papers to Pro.K before make an application for admission. I was rather willing than compelled to challenge to this tough tasks. Even if I had handed in these papers, it did't follow that I could enter the seminer without any difficulty. There was some possibility of my failing in an interview I was going to take on 4th April. After all, fortunately, I could enter this seminer, but if not, was that meaningless effort? NO!! I think studying something hard will pay in the long run in that knowledge you got through it would become your interst and advantage.
Sorry I turned aside from the topic. I met 32 new friends( Soooo big family,wasn't it!!? ) of class mate of this seminer. Perhaps, it will need spend few more weeks for me to learn everybody's name by heart(^_^;A) Pro.K was much more intelligent and funny than I expected and new friend seemed to be so nice. ・・・OK, now I look beyond my future! mmm... Yes! My life in Pro.K seminer would became so comfortable and interesting. But it remains to be seen that this prophecy could come true for it depends on my attitude I take. If I didn't so much as make use of the chance I was given, my life here would become dull and empty one. It is imperative for me to take part in many events and to aggressively speak in discussion.

ぺぷし cucumber- きゅうり味-を塩の家で飲んでみました。


美味しい! 

 -わけがない。約束とは言え、やっぱり嘘はつけません。


どれだけ不味いのかといえば、実は写真の二人はcucumberを飲んだ直後に出っ歯になってしまったくらいなのです。『いくらなんでもあんな歯になるとは思いませんでした。』(某高田氏談)

本当は後ろのヤツは、人ではなくてゴブリンではないかという噂も。


まぁ何にせよ、cucumberを飲んだ以外は、最近も人生を手堅く生きています。


そうそう、今度なんだか制服ボーリングをするみたいで、久しぶりに制服を着る予定。自分の制服はもう捨てちゃったから、友達の借ります。
たぶんまだ制服着てもOKでしょ。

ナイス リアクション!


『 英BBC放送の生放送番組にて、たまたまスタジオ入り口に居合わせ、コンピューター専門家と間違われたタクシー運転手が生放送に出演、激しく動揺しながらも音楽ダウンロードの未来について何となく語った。放送途中からプロデューサーらは明らかに”何かとんでもなくまずいことが起きている”と感づいたものの、とりあえず放送を続行、インタビューは終了した。』

運転手のリアクションがかなり笑える。うん。

帰ってきました


 どーも、僕です。家のルーターが僕のネット接続を拒むもので、だいぶインターネットから遠ざかってました。休み中は定期券ないから学校に行くのもめんどくさいしね。しかし、今日業者が新しいルーターを取り付けてくれたんで、やっと戻って来れました。このネットの世界、知識の宝庫、魅惑のエロの世界へ(´∀`) 

 振替ってみれば、2ヶ月の休みがあったわけだけれど、特に何も大したことは起こらずですよ。こうして人生は終わっていってしまうんじゃないかという焦りばかり募るわけで。そんな休みに変化をつけようとしてエジプトに行くつもりが中止になったわけで。じゃあスペインに行こうとしたわけで。でも格安航空券は売り切れてたわけで。そんなこんなで地球の歩き方が部屋にたまっていくわけで。現在家に7冊あります。

 こりゃダメダ、と思ってたけど、結局なんやかんやで中国(北京、西安)に行ってきました。今回は一人じゃなく、高校のヨーダと一緒に。やっぱり、一人とは違って複数だと、それぞれの志向の違いがあるから、どこかで妥協しないと旅を進められないっていう欠点があるかも。それから、ずーっと一緒に行動してると、たまに一人で行動したくなる時が出てくる。そこら辺にどう対処するかは今後の課題だね。でもまぁ、その欠点を差し引いても、話し相手がいるってことはすばらしいです。一人だと寡黙に生きなきゃいけないわけだし。それに宿とか移動手段(taxi)が1/2になるから、旅が安くなる。一人ってのは何かと高くつくわけです。
 まぁ何にせよ、またお金をせっせと貯めるケチケチ生活に戻るかぁ。

ミーハーな僕


ここ最近バイトしかやっていないんじゃないかという噂。
さてそんな僕ですが、今とってもハッピーです。うふふ(´∀` ) 今日は他店のヘルプに17時から行き、19時からキャッシャー(レジのことね)をやってたんですよ。ヘルプの人は楽な仕事を任されるわけです。さて、キャッシャーのポジションについてから5分くらい経ったくらいのことです。ウィーンと自動ドアが開きました。2人組みの女性が入ってきました。親子かなと思いつつ、すかさず挨拶。いつもは挨拶をめんどくさがる僕ですが、バイトの時はキッチリやりますよん。で、お客様がカウンターを挟んで、僕の目の前に立ちました。見詰め合う二人(嘘) 時はその流れを止め(マジ)、僕は気付く。 

綾瀬はるかじゃね?

見つめ続ける僕。彼女はメニューに目をやり、僕の視線は宙を彷徨う。
「アイスコーヒーを下さい」

そりゃもうあなた、僕のハートはドキドキしましたよ。だってねぇ、綾瀬はるかに話しかけられたんですよ。そこですかさず「サイズはいかがなさいますか?」って聞きました。彼女は僕を見つめて言うわけです「Sサイズでお願いします。」やべぇ、お願いされちゃったよ。もう、しょーがないなぁ。とか思いながら接客をこなす僕って幸せモノですね。やっぱり本物は可愛いです。お母さんらしき人と一緒だったからサインは求めなかったけど、もし彼氏(という噂)の瑛太と一緒だったら、ポイントカードの裏にサインもらいたかったなぁ。( ・д・)


ちなみに綾瀬はるかは黒ぶちメガネをかけていたので、写真もそんなのを拾ってきました。
