Title of this Blog

In Japanese, the title of this blog reads "Gin no Saji ha Nagerareta".
The title line of this page is not garbled :o), and it's written in Japanese Kanji and Hiragana characters.

It's a little bit difficult to explain the sense of the wording for non-Japanese speaking people, but
it's a compound phrase consists of the following.

(1) A famous book titled, "Gin no Saji" in Japanese by Kansuke Naka (1885-1965).
An English translation is available, and its English title is "The Silver Spoon."

(2) A famous words of Julius Caesar, "The dice is cast". In Japanese, we say
"Sai ha nagerareta", and "Sai" means "a dice".
Now, I believe it's obvious there is resemblance in sound.

(3) A Japanese phrase "Saji wo nageru".
Accurately speaking, the proper sense of the phrase is
"give up as hopless". I mean, relatively serious sense.
But, nowadays it's often used more light weight situation such that
one has a friend who is always acting up and the only resolution
is to accept the friend's behavior as is.

When the title came up with me years ago,
actually I was under complicated situation, and
the phrase expresses my feeling of those days well.
