I don't know if I'd call the guy an asshole per say, he went through a natural transition that both you and me would probably have found our way to as well. At first the telemarketer's intentions were good but when he kept being called "The Angel of Death" he started thinking to himself of how sweet of a title that is, and that's where he found himself encouraging the prank caller to wait another day so he could at least purchase a coffin and plot for his body. Just look at it this way...think of how exciting it would be to introduce yourself as Paul but then remind those new people you just met that you're better known as "THE ANGEL OF DEATH!" and you can quickly pull a dark cloak over your body, and pick up a near by scythe.
My name is Paul, and I am an American Catholic currently living in Japan and working as an English teacher.
The "mission" of this blog is two-fold. One, to relate some of my experiences and thoughts about living in the land of the rising sun. Two, to post news relating to my main interests - usually religion and politics, although sometimes including other random materials. As I may seem bleak or cynical at times, I beg your indulgence. God is indeed everywhere, and through Him there is hope. Although there are patches of light, we do live in a dark world, however. How can we persevere? I recommend faith and a sense of humor.
I hope you enjoy! If you like what you see, please check back every now and then, and feel free to leave comments.
