Nice Effing Memories

@Sam. Proposition to bribe or be bribed is a serious offense. You don't want to be persecuted for it, do you? So, lets say you share the picture, and I forget you ever mentioned bribes? :3

It is a blessing to have friend(s) for whom you are willing to do something without thinking much of what you do. And them not accepting it as something given but to actually be grateful. I think it is a great memory to share ^_^.

And this made me actually think on what is my own favorite one. Which is a good thing, since I rarely stop to think on memories or emotions or other such irrelevant things in my day to day life. At first I thought that one of mine would be connected to either getting my very own laptop or hi-fi player and earphones... Apparently it is not.
In 2014 I met a man in his 70s, though I could barely give him 50. It was in Moscow, a rather chilly second half of June. His name was Susumu Uehara, Japanese, and I was to be his interpreter for a 3-day event. Which also meant following him everywhere. I was pleasantly surprised to find him to be an easygoing, calm and extremely intelligent man. My favorite memory is hearing him sing. While we were in a car, standing in one of those infamous moscowian traffic jams, he sang Frank Sinatra and some of the more traditional Japanese songs. I don't actually remember the whole scene or songs, but I remember his colorful and lovely voice and slowly coming to understand why these songs were considered beautiful.
He passed away in December 2016. From a cold. Unexpectedly.
Cherish people and those little things they bring to your life. Don't be afraid to bring little things to their lives. Who knows, maybe sometime in the future someone will hold the memory of you singing as something dear?

If you are on a dark side and have cookies, I can barter with a picture.
A predator's heart
Knows no remorse
It lives for the hunt
