Welcome to my continuing (from the last version of this site) journal. This part of the site is mainly for my friends and potential stalkers (joke!). I hope you find my life more interesting than I do. For a brief profile of me click here. I now have started a journal written in Japanese. If you would like to see it click here.

Oct. 16th It's been almost a month since I last updated this site! One of the reasons it that since the hockey season has started up I've been busy updated Slapshot:Japan, my web site dedicated to the Japan Ice Hockey League. Another reason is I've been iching to redesign this site. In America I bought a whole bunch of software but I haven't had a chance to learn how to use it that well yet (it's hard to learn just from a book sometimes). By the way, I finally got to see X-men, the movie, two days ago. Japan which can be so up to date in someways ususally takes longer to get western movies and the X-men was no exception. It was a good, fun movie. You can see the ticket to the movie to the left. As for this web site, I plan on completely redigning it as soon as I can. Oh, I also went to see Game One Japan (the Pittsburgh Penguins vs. the Nashville Predators of the NHL in Saitama, Japan). It was fun to see NHL hockey but the Penguins didn't play up to the level I expected. For more on the game plus pictures check out Slapshot:Japan.

Sept. 19th "Back from America but only physically." Yes, I am back from a vacation in which I had a lot of fun and spent a lot of money while visiting my family near Los Angeles. I spent two weeks over in Arcadia. I was able to see some friends, visit my old college, see two baseball games, and buy a lot of clothes that fit. Of course I was happy to be able to find so many things in my size (I am 6'6"). It was also nice to see no one staring at me because of my height. Being home for the first time in a year I was able to switch some clothes, get some videos and stuff my face with the food I can't get here in Japan (like hot dogs that don't sound like carrots when you bite them). Now if hockey season was on when I was there things would have been perfect. By the way, how do you like the South Park ad here in Japanese? It was recently released in Japan. Of course I bought it finally in the states.

The weather was much better than the humid stuff we have to put up with in Japan too. In Monterey (where my alma mater is) it was in the 60's to 70's. Even in LA, when it was hot it wasn't humid. Now you'll have to bear with me as I try to get a million things done here and update this site. While in the US I was able to buy the programs Flash, Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Freehand. I hope to utilize them in this web site as I learn how to use them.

But wait! There's more! Click here!
