A few months ago I was watching a Japanese chambara movie. Right off hand, I can not recall which one in particular it was. However, there was a line spoken by a character that stuck with me. I can’t speak Japanese and it’s possible the subtitler took liberties with the actual words; this is irrelevant. The character introduced another as: “my unrivaled friend”.
Unrivaled friend.
I love that. That is a fantastic way of describing a true friend.
These sometimes, in passing social forums, are called ‘best friends’. I have always had a problem with the term, it has always seemed a fleeting title for someone. Depending on your location and time from one another, you can have diffrent ‘best’ friends involved in your life. I’ve had many people that were the very center of my life in regards to interaction and they greatly affected my decision making process. It changes though. Distances grow greater, both physically and emotionally over time. They move away. Trust is sundered.
Unrivaled friends to me are not unlike the cosmos. No matter the distance, they are always there and affect your decisions.
That is staggering to me. I love it.

But where’s my picture? I should show the world the many fine gourmet ass meats I offer for sale.
I’ve been to that Museum in Kyoto. It’s kind of interesting. They also have the power ranger-type outfits and robots there. Crazy chit, man. The movies are on TV all of the time, but most are below average. There are a few good ones, though. My girlfriend knows a lot about this genre.
