Nothing to be sad about...

Kyodo Tsushin Cup Feb. 6th 2005
Before I go on with today, about yesterday's poll, I should've mentioned how a surprising 45.2% of the Japanese still think we should have women at home doing the chores.
Living in Tokyo it's so hard to imagine opposing any idea of having women work in the battlefields, but when I think of my mom, and many others, I can't say people supporting the traditional trait are wrong. When you think about children, maybe having mom around is a key to raising a child. I always thank my parents I had a mom around to cry to when I needed to. That's at least how I felt the love of my parents, with dad taking cover of mom once in a while. Come on! Wouldn't rather be around your beloved son or daughter rather than rattling your heads at work? ...But if I had the love I have always felt between my parents and myself, maybe having mom around or not having dad around traditionally wasn't a big deal... Hmm... this is just a matter of IF or IF NOT. Once again, even if women get to be happy working or not, I hope the kids will be as happy as well.
OK. About today. The horse that my colleagues and I own (The name is LORD MAJESTY and we're one 500th of an owner. Me and 2 of my colleagues own one 500th of a horse which becomes possible through club ownership. So literally I own only one 1500th of the horse) was fifth place in today's main race at Fuchu, Tokyo. It was the first time a part owned horse of my own had run in a graded race, but the outcome was not as expected. I lost 15000 yen, just today betting all I can to my horse.
NEXT TIME, Lord Majesty!! LET'S KICK ASS!!
At the end of the day, I had happening that were pleasant. I just have to remember how lucky I am to be in Tokyo, sometimes...
