LIFE LESSONS LEARNED

Aug 03, 2005 00:00

so after tonight, i know im a good guy,

im out in town, i went out with my buddy, we went to megumi's restuarant, she was talking with some people, (im still semi-suspicous she is just a bargirl), and i was kinda like "fuck it". so my buddy bought some food and got a call on the phone from his Tokyo DJ friend Shino, and we drank a few beers and said, lets go. as i leave, yet again, Megumi runs out after me, she says "oh, zach, solly, they are friends, but i want to see you" something along those lines. so basically i say "see you on friday" and she says "haight, see you then" something like that. (further proof that american marines are held in a low light by many okinawans, what im assuming is that she didn't want to go talk to the american in front of her japanese friends)....so anyways, my buddy and i take a look around town, and decide to head back on base. on the way back we decide to stop and grab some food to bring back. ok. so while im waiting for my food, i go into a bar and take a piss. on my way back to the restaurant, i see some other marines from another unit with some very attractive okinawan girls. i see them exchanging words, and i figure they are boyfriends and girlfriends. i decide to walk up and say hello. as i approach, i realize in fact that the marines are drunk, and one of them is making some unwanted advances on the native women, because she is backed into a corner with her hands up in front of her face, pleading in japanese with a geinuinely scared look in her eye. as soon as i see this, i grab the marine by the shoulder, twist him towards me and say something to the effect of: "hey, there, watch yourself, what the fuck are you doing,you've had enough to drink, it's time to get going", he mumbles something and i turn to his buddy, (we leave base in pairs, the idea being that we watch out for each other) and say something to the effect of "get that fucker back on base, you guys are done for the night". so they back off, the girls scurry off, and we wait for our food. we take a honcho (taxi cab) back on base, and sure enough, the cab in front of us holds those two jackass individuals......i spotted their cab fare because they didn't think ahead and leave enough cash for their ride back. luckily i know that motherfucker, and let me see him again while we're both sober.

after i got back to my room, i started eating my rice, and i kinda realized, "hey zach, you really did the right thing back there, you: 1) helped those girls, and you 2) kept those marines out of trouble before they embarassed themselves and the united states even more."

fuck yes, keep on rocking in the free world.
