Network

I noticed we never buy fruits or vegetables from the super market, but we always have an abundance of them at our house. That seemed a little odd to me. So, one day I decided to look into the mystery surrounding why we always have fresh produce, its not like we're growing it.

Around the same time I also wondered what the grandparents do all day? I don't really think they help around the house much, cause sometimes the mother complains to me about it. Do they just sit around bored doing nothing? The grandma kinda has a social life, cause she has one friend who comes over about 500 times a day one her trike. Then proceeds to lay in the entry way talking, making it really hard to get in and out of the house. But other than that there is not much else going on for them, but they have to be up to something.

Curious as to what old Japanese people do, I watched them, secretly..... from a bush... But, not really. I took notice to that fact that the grandparents receive, and send a lot of packages. Then I put the two together and figured out that the grandparents are the ones responsible for all the produce. As I dug deeper, I realized the grandparents have an amazing network, one comparable if not larger than the verizon network!

One morning I eaves dropped in on the grandmother on the phone while I was doing something in another room. She called a handful of people in about an hour, making deals, and setting up trades. She was bartering with stuff she hasn't even received yet. As to who they are doing these trades with I'm not sure, but I have a hitch that it is other elderly people around the country, and not drug dealers*. When I say around the country I'm serious, one day we received a vegetable that only comes from southern Japan. I'm pretty sure trike buddy didn't bring it over, it wasn't laying in the entry way when I saw it.

*I don't think drug dealers are as connected as these grandparents are, and they don't even have cell phones!


It amazes me what the grandparents do to get all the produce, starting from nothing cause they don't even have their own garden. I just hope they keep it up cause the stuff they get in is really good.

Reason of absence

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, life has been a little hectic. To make a long story short, I met a girl. Dated, got close, fell in love, then she broke my heart. I guess she just didn't love me as much as I love her, and she wanted to break it off before things got too complicated. It was a pretty clean break though, so I am happy for that; it didn't drag on and we don't hate each other or anything. Maybe if I have time (and if I want to let you that far into my personal life) I will post more about it in detail, but for now I'm going to leave it at this.
