Heeeeeyy!

Thanks guys for checking this out. This is going to be my new website from now on, and hopefully a permanent one. I`ll eventually be pulling all my stuff from past blogs and throwing it on here so I can have one collection of writings, photos, and inspirations that I can share with whoever.

As all of you already know, I`m in Japan. Heres some pictures and inspirations I`ve had so far, and if you guys want to comment on anything, feel free, I even encourage that you do. Also, if you feel that you have something to contribute (a poem, a photograph, an experience you`d like to share) then please, message me and i can toss it up here. I`ve been in a bit of a time crunch and haven`t exactly had all the time in the world to dabble in web design, but I promise a more `professional` layout here soon in the future.

Kampai! (Cheers!)

Tokyo

Well, here is Tokyo Tower.... sideways. I can`t read Japanese and can`t really figure out how the hell to flip the tower right side up. Sorry!

From the top of Tokyo Tower. Imagine looking at this view--but in all directions.






The Tokyo Tower is the tallest self-supporting iron structure in the world, putting the Eiffel Tower at number two. Take that!








The Rainbow bridge.






Looking up from the bottom.






A circuit-board of an electronics store. Eight floors. Gigantic.

President Obama, repin` some mad Sony headphones.




Very confusing.



Again, sorry for the sideways thing. Coyfish in a pond.

Bad picture of a good temple.

Jun and his fiancee... boy she loves flashin peace!

Eeeek!

Sorry.

Crazy dude doing crazy stuff in Tokyo`s "City Park" equivalent.



It`s a Small World After All.... sang the man in the park.

Baseball. Pops, I thought you`d appreciate this.



Mmm!
Lunch. Thanks, Jun.



Do I really need to comment on this?















A wedding. The translation of that little license plate you see dangling from the back: Just hitched!





Okada-san, happily grilling some cow-tongue (quite delicious) at the dinner table.

This swastika has nothing to do with WWII nor with Nazism nor with hate nor Hitler, but it`s actually a Shinto (the native religion of Japan) symbol.

The Edo museum in Tokyo.
Miniature models of traditional buildings.




The building with the green roof is where Tokyo houses its Sumo matches.
Yu and I, hangin out outside the Emperor`s place.


Yu gets nervous about the subway.

"No no no no."

  2. Yeah, no problem man. I`m definitely looking forward to having a good cup of coffee (which doesn`t exist in Japan) and a solid conversation with you when I get back. We`ll have much to talk about...!
