Recovery

Well it's good to be back, finally not sick but still have a lot of phlegm and pretty bad breath and typically still wake up in a puddle of my own drool. So needless to say, I feel like a real charmer right about now. I'm here today to talk to you about something that was already blogged but is definitely worth reblogging:

This man: Hideaki Akaiwa

During the tragic Tsunami that struck this month in Japan, 43 year old Hideaki put on scuba diving equipment in order to get into his town which had been covered by the tsunami and rescue his wife and mother. This is some impressive shit right here.

“She is very important for me,”

Is one of the few quotes given in the remarkably scant news article that really stretches what is quite clearly a brief encounter with the man who immediately returns to search for more people.
