About “Life in This World”

This is the personal weblog of Carl M. Johnson, a beach bum based primarily out of Waikiki. Carl has cleverly deceived friends and acquaintances into believing his self-stylings as a would-be philosopher and raconteur from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. The weblog contains links to whatever interests the author today, mostly videogames, comics, news, and philosophy plus photos taken with my 3DS. See also, the Best Of Life in This World. Contact the author by leaving a comment or emailing carl at this domain.

The title of the weblog is taken from the following poem by Kobayashi Issa:

世の中は
地獄の上の
花見かな

Yo no naka wa
Jigoku no ue no
Hanami kana

Life in this world
Is a spring picnic
Perched atop the hellmouth.
