My name is Cayde Naó and I live in Detroit, Michigan. This is my life so far: I’ve only my father left, after my mother got pregnant with another man and ran off with him, I haven’t seen her since, my little sister, Kazuimika, is ill, terribly, terribly ill. She’s fallen victim to this new bug that’s been spreading through the United States. I was named Cayde [Kayd] after my grandmother’s maiden name, because her passing was before I was born. My middle name may be hard to pronounce, it’s Hanikuzimoshima. My father, sister, and I are originally from Tori Shima, Japan, in case you couldn’t tell. Our last name, Naó, in Japan means “Blossom”, and Cayde means “Powerful”, and my middle name Hanikuzimoshima means “Objective”, so together my name means “Powerful Objective Blossom”, but I don’t mind. It describes me somewhat. I have a boyfriend overseas. His name is Kazune. Kazune Kujyou. Simple name, is it not? I only E-Mail him now, as it costs too much of our Japanese ¥ to call him. It would cost around 60,000¥ a minute, which is far too much. I have sent letters in the mail, but that too, costs too much. America is so expensive. The reason we moved here was for my father, the greif of living in Tori Shima, in the same house he had wedded my mother in the back yard of was too much for him to bare. On the other hand, we have also left Tori Shima for Kazuimika, as there were no proper doctors overseas. I would much rather type in Japanese, but I cannot as American computers don’t have that option, all of our symbols are represented as squares! Americans are out of their little white minds. Please do not take that statement to offense, as it is only my opinion, and nothing more. Does America not have freedom of the press and speech? I don’t believe such a thing. If this were true, so many people would not be getting punished for haneous crimes that the original Articles Of Confederation did not protect – but the Bill Of Rights. I have done my American history research, and I do not like what I see. America has been in and out of wars, and though I know Japan isn’t perfect as our suicide rate and teen pregnancy rate is high, we haven’t been feuding with countries as much as the Americans have. I pity them, almost. It’s like they’re still a baby country, still not able to stand on it’s own two legs, and just as it’s about to stand up, supporting itself on a tablecloth, the cloth slips off of the table, the baby falls, and everything on the table comes crashing down with it. Now, about Kazuimika, whatever she’s gotten has reached Japan and no one is yet sure how. It may be simply a virus that is a little more severe than the Hong-Kong flu [which killed millions] or it may be nothing more than a cold, we are not yet sure. And science hasn’t cought up with it yet, as there is no techinical scientific name, hence me saying: America is behind. Japan would have figured it out ages ago had American armies not prevented it. But there is nothing that a ‘silly child’ such as you or I can do. Absoloutely nothing. I am ending this blog with a simple, yet delicate address, the world is going down. We’re using up our environment as if God had made it to be destroyed. This is rediculous. I keep myself away from these frequent thoughts by reading, and had it not been for Koge-Donbo, I may as well have lost it by now. Thank you Koge-Donbo, for writing “Kamichama Karin”, my favorite manga series. Anyway, I ought to close this up before I continue on another absurd topic I believe to be politically incorrect.
