That's why I pretty much stick to an "eyes on your own paper" plan of action.

The moment I consider myself a resentful Japanese native who truly appreciates their culture is the moment that I use a nailgun to install a few holes in my face BUT THEY LEARNED EVERYTHING THEY KNEW ABOUT WHISKY BY LEARNING
IN SCOTLAND, and now the Keepers of the Quaich invite Japanese whiskymakers to their feasts and get-togethers, dressing the japanese in kilts because they love Japanese whisky so much
and that is so damn beautiful that it makes me want to cry Don't give a damn about them in any other case
Though I forgot that you're into the whole japanese thing and I should have clarified I'M SORRY, I'VE JUST HAD TO TALK TO TOO MANY OTHER
MALE ARTISTS MY AGE AND AS SOON AS I MENTION WHISKY OR WHISKEY THEY'RE ALL LIKE
"THAT'S AN OLD GUYS DRINK. WHAT A TOOL. I
ONLY DRINK SAKE" AND THEN THEY JABBER ON ABOUT ITS SUPPOSED SUPERIORITY WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT THE FUCK THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT AND I DON'T ARGUE ABOUT IT BECAUSE AN ARGUMENT LIKE THAT IS GEEKY AS FUCK BUT THEY'RE COMPLETELY
WRONG
