Just messing around with the look of the blog a bit. I felt it could be a little easier on the eyes.

An improvement, I think. For you, anyway. Now, if it were me, a nice grey-on-black color scheme would do nicely. But that's just the heartless ninja bastard in me.
The "lighter, softer side" of a blog which derives its name from a novel about a supposed utopian future where the masses are drugged and brainwashed into obedience by the government, and free thought is oppressed and ostracized? Paul, you're a silly goose.
Exactly. I guess my underlying statement, as cynical as it is, is that that's where our society is headed. Maybe government in and of itself isn't the culprit, but there are certainly some serving it who seem to be moving us that way. But why be glum about it?
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.

Haha...yeah, trying to let out the lighter, softer side of BNW. I was inspired by fabric softener.
