happy new year!

happy new year! i am going to write down some resolutions for the new year and actually try to remember and stick to them.

home.

merry christmas.



it would have worked better if my beard/hair was white too but oh well...

going home soon.

i am going home in less than two weeks... it feels like forever since i have been home.



i am looking forward to warm weather and some of this.



currently listening to: Battle Funktastic by Hotei vs. Rip Slyme

hawaiian restaurant.

so, i went to a hawaiian restaurant last weekend and had "huli huli chicken".

huli huli chicken.


umm, haha, it was very different that what i am used to but good nonetheless. it was pretty much bbq chicken.

i have been listening to metallica and trying to learn to play 'master of puppets' on guitar... i have concluded that they must be robots because the guitar parts are faster than humanly possible. for real.

happy thanksgiving.

happy thanksgiving...

since there is not thanksgiving in japan, here is a pic from last year.



the neighbors said she moved away.
funny how it rained all day.
i didn't think much of it then.
but it's starting to make sense. - all time low.

it is raining, and i am listening to all time low.

three day walk.

chee.



long weekend + nothing to do + walking around the city = spending money.

on a good note, i did a lot of walking and listening to music. i love it when you do not listen to a band for a long time period of time then when you finally do, you realize how awesome they are. for instance, incubus.

there's something about the look in your eyes.
something i noticed when the light was just right.
it reminded me twice that i was alive.
and it reminded me that you're so worth the fight.

there's something about the way you move.
i see your mouth in slow motion when you sing. -incubus.

it...is...cold...

so, it is cold. two days ago, it snowed for a bit.
on another note...

i now have a bike. (but again, it is cold, so i cannot ride it because my face become a popsicle.)


it think it is supposed to say 'shoes'...


leaves are nice this time of year.


i visited some of my relatives, they ride in style.


iwakuni castle.


this dog was chillin.


i was listening to the ataris 'blue skies, broken hearts...next 12 exits' for the first time in forever. there are some great songs on that cd.

just cause things aren't what they seem, it doesn't mean you shouldn't dream. -the ataris.
