What's on your mind right now?

the left appears, hopelessly, the dominant sword arm(the bokutō[japanese wooden sword] is a focus weapon/discipline). peculiar, being right handed in absolutely everything else... including the practice of other stick weapons. also, kind of peculiar in that a samurai likely would not have been well received in using left handed swordsmanship, and it'd probably be seen as utilizing an underhanded method that others had not trained to fight/read.

in attempt to look it up, there are made mentions of niten ichi-ryū(devised by a rōnin) to justify left handedness, but dual swordsmanship still relies upon a daitō/longsword in the right, and shōtō/short-sword in the left, so the saya/scabbards would have been positioned in the same fashion as a right handed swordsman(tapping another's sword was supposedly a challenge to the death, along with many other bizarre and seemingly innocuous actions... so to fashion them to the left and pass another with their's fashioned to the right, could have been quite precarious), and it's a technique that does not use the swords in the same fashion... it's as if they're handled as entirely different weapons used for swiftly outmaneuvering and locking an opponent's blade while flaying their vulnerable points instead of cutting deep... so the justification is about as questionable as if to compare the samurai's sword etiquette to the foot-soldier's yari/spear. even if to gain the strength and discipline to cut deep with a sword in each hand, it would be a wasted effort beyond training for strength, because two hands to one sword would be vastly superior for draw and cut with that kind of strength and control.

probably over thinking things a little... especially in having no desire to even hold an actual blade.

I am sending much love to everyone.

My mind is cleared after a nap.

I think I'm too sensitive.

^Me, too. You can shield yourself by imagining green or purple/indigo coloured light surrounding you.

I've got to remove my mind from what was happening to me, last year around this time. If you feel jaded, take a pill, close the door and put on a cloth German helmet. I'm at my parents place right now. Things are going well this year, compared to last year. I can only wear the family name for so long. When I've had enough, I close the door and put the cloth helmet on. The cloth one is very easy to fold and hide into one of the zippered compartments in my overnight bag. My mum wants me to be normal, but I want to celebrate my autism.

There's a song playing in my head, as always. I'm thinking I should have a shower and eat something, before going to my friend's place to play board games.

Another late night on the computer.

Life, the Universe, and Everything.

Money.

The beauty of the cosmos.

hummingbird... there was one resting dead center upon the moss and pollen painted sidewalk under the shade of large trees along noon’s path. almost didn’t see it, and nearly took a tumble to avoid harming it. upon reaching down to try and redirect it off the footpath, it dishearteningly sensed no danger and flitted circularly about these hands at ground's level as if a game. finally got it to take it’s rest off to the side of the path, but it’s obliviousness is still rather concerning. all hope is that it will not go back upon the path for another rest, or that someone who knows how to tend to birds, who will know how to do it good rather than harm in tending to it properly, may find it and nurture it healthy from whatever delirium may be afflicting it's sense of survival.

Maybe I might walk around soon.
