yoshi47Since I graduated from a college in Bay Area, I started working as a bike messenger. I was very much poor at that time, and I really needed a money as soon as possible, so I asked my friend, who is "YOHEY" as you know if you are San Francisco people, and he suggested me to be a bike messenger, and also he added an extra stupid information, which was like this, "heeey yoshi, you know what? being a bike messenger can earn more than $100.00 in a day, I mean at least...or if you work really hard, you might get $200.00 in a day....why don't you work as a messenger, then you will become a one of millionaires...." I could not even believe that I trusted him so much with this full of shit. Anyways, I became a messenger in San Francisco, and started being in a hell and much poorer than ever in my life. I do not blame YOHEY though....
However, I really appreciated him so much because I learned a survival attitude, and I found something more important thing than a money itself.
anyways, I worked really hard, and saved up money, and got a ticket going back to Japan, and finally, I got out of a poor life....but somehow, i could not stop thinking of being a bike messenger again in TOKYO, so, I let myself follow this great instinct.
you know what, I'm kind of getting off the rail right now and supposed to translate what I wrote in Japanese here, but kind of tired...so, in short, I quit a messenger already, and got back to where I am supposed to be as an artist in Japan.
