Did you miss me?

I do apologize about these long breaks I take from Blogging. My life in Japan has me so occupied sometimes, that I am unable to pull away and write about it. Today I was able to take a few minutes and write about what is going on. I decided today that I am going to purge my feelings in to blog form.

I feel like I’ve joined the rest of the planet now that I’ve seen Star Wars: Episode III. I’m relieved to have seen it, though I am a little sad about the whole deal. I no longer have any future Star Wars films to look forward to, and it makes the future seem a little dreary for some unexplainable reason. I’m sure like all things on this great Earth, those feelings will pass.

Recently, I keep having these recurring dreams about a girl I used to love dearly. It has now been a number of year since we went our separate ways, though I continue to harbor strong feelings for her. I doubt I will ever stop loving her, even though I am sure we are almost so different now that mutual attraction would be impossible. Strange things keep going on in my head. Sometimes I shake it and hope the strange things will stop.

Since I am a government employee in Japan, I had to get a company physical like like all other government employees. No major problems to report, with the exception of a higher than normal Body mass index and a slightly irregular Electro-cardiogram reading. Though it seems that neither of these are any cause for concern. I believe the slightly erratic heart activity is due to the 2-3 liters of Diet Coke I drink everyday. This is something that I will need to stop. I’m sure the raw caffeine is messing that up quite nicely.

Isn’t it funny when you meet someone that you have a common ground with; someone who you feel really comfortable with, and they are leaving to go back to the US in a month. Yeah, looks like the joke is on me. Ha Ha! I’m still glad to have met them.

When the heat soars to 33 Celsius and the humidity climbs to 85%, Jason crawls into a fetal position and whimpers. At least they allow me to wear “cool biz” clothing at the office now. That equates to a suit without a tie. Joy! At least the tie won’t be soaked in sweat. Of course, the price for not wearing a tie is the suspension of air conditioning in the office. Yep, sounds like a fair trade to me. Perhaps after a little heat stroke, they might be convinced of another way to keep their English speaker fro dying.

That felt good. Japan, you’re killing me, but I love it.

Penis Power

When climbing mountains in Japan, you may occasionally stumble upon a stone penis. How do you react when you come across this rock hard testament to fertility? You may wish to leave an offering, or perhaps simply bask in the splendor of the ultimate erection. Either way, this uplifting experience is bound to leave you spent.

I like their military like lines

Yesterday, I joined my high school on a little bus trip to Kitakami. We were going to an opening ceremony for the High School Sports season. There were around eighty schools there. Click on this picture to see more from the event. It was amazing. It was olympic sized fun.
