The culprit
getting out of hand

Fitness gadgets
can shape your body and your mind.
... AND your mind?
Yes!

　The simple grip shown in the photo
and intended to strengthen arm muscles
can change the way you think― anyway, it changes the way I think.
Believe it or not, but yes,
I do think (from time to time)

The culprit: caught red-handed

As “proof” I add 2 short stories about the same subject: 4 pictures,
the first, untitled as yet, with this grip in my left hand,

typed with my right hand.
and the second, phantom boat,

written with the same tool in my right hand, using only my left hand to type.
Check the outcome for yourself.

　WHY?
Actually, some of my friends have told me before
that my email messages are from time to time extremely short and with no frills,
and now and then peculiar, to say the least,
detailed and colorful to say more.
I realized

that, when using my cellphone

to send a message,
its result depends a great deal
on whether I had used my right or my left hand to type it in.

I suppose this behavior also affects which side of the brain I am using since I am aware that much has been publicized about the left brain controlling the right-hand side of the body, and vice versa.

As for the 2 stories, I was planning to write something to demonstrate the difference between photo and syashin.
The result, the second part of “untitled” (where the pictures are) didn’t please me, so I kept it locked in my computer.
The photos, however, remained in my mind, and that’s how “phantom boat” came to life.
Now that I want to demonstrate the difference between using my right hand and my left hand, I decided to add something, the beginning of “untitled”.
Hmmm, well, it is not perfect
