Propaganda - P Machinery

I guess I just can't talk about food. That's the joy of being poor and in the lower classes of the working world. I guess I'm back to write useless sushi pieces of wisdom.

2006-05-17T22:24:00.000-07:00

Time flies, it really does, and as you can tell I barely have time to sit and write. Well that's primarily because I am drama-free as usual, and Bush and his junta is not pissing me off more than usual (well, besides that "send the army to the border" issue). Speaking of which, why send the army to the border? Why not just take Mexico down?
Aye aye cap'n...let's take the non-gringos down!!! Who knows, Osama might be there too!! With that in mind, I could finally afford a place to live in!!! Could be in the middle of the desert...but what isn't nearly affordable nowadays in the greater LA area?! Got an email from my family about an ad they found for a place on sale in West Hollywood...nice place, 1923, 3 bedroom condo (what the hell is a condo anyway? basically just another way to say apartment, or overpriced toilet and rooms)...$600,000...for an apartment?!!?! and people tell me that that is quite a steal!! indeed, I will have to rob Las Vegas to start living here.

Bah, I'll do my 5 yrs here, then I'm out of this $tupid $tupid $ity. I can't possibly slave so much at work to then see 70% or more of my after-tax money fly away for a stupid apartment build when not even my grandma was born. And everything built before my grandma was born might as well be a freaking cave, or a neanderthal hut. And quite obviously NOT complying with any earthquake-resistant standard.

By the way, the big boy at UCLA, the chancellor man, makes in a month what I do in a year. Insanity, no wonder he is getting out of the UC system before he gets in to too much legal trouble.

Let's see who will be laughing when you go to jail! GIVE MY TUITION MONEY BACK YOU F********UCKING CRIMINAL!

In other news, I am considering to abandon this blog thing that is truly uninspiring - except for the girlie pictures that I am sure you all appreciate (you too Barbara, I'm sure)...and take on more specific topics that I will let y'all decide this month..

This month, eh! World Cup starts in 23 days and my beloved Juventus, once again crowned champions of Italy, is in deep legal trouble now, and so are other major teams....the situation may prove to have very very crazy consequences beginning very soon!!!

and now, some pictures of my past birthday celebrations...

my new coworkers are really awesome when they stick their heads out of the paperwork...poor guys! damn bureaucracy!

and the party at...oh I don't even remember...in chinatown anyway

too sexy...oh there it is...Grand Star Jazz Club! did they play jazz? I don't know..

Now starts the work-unsafe content...thanks to Mr. Brian, we got involved with this section of L.A. late 20s - 30yr old + crowd in Del Mar, of all places, and had quite a crazy night dressed as doctors and nurses...

"we are all professionals"

"we need a fireman in here, not a doctor!"

let's just say that the only one of us who will actually become a doctor had quite a field day at the party...

what a good weekend! anyway...vote on!!! or

2006-05-01T23:47:00.000-07:00

chillin'

and not chillin'

chillin' a little more..

Dodgers kill Cubs at the end

chillin' a little less

what? me in a tie is not an uncommon site these days unfortunately...but that day I was fortunately with miss janet at her buddy's wedding party! yummy, it was - says Yoda

Weeks now pass by incredibly fast...the weekends have seriously become lone islands that quicky get submerged by evil mondays!

can't end up like this!

2006-04-17T22:26:00.000-07:00

Well, most of you, at least those who are not my enemies, have already seen most of my shots from my latest spur-of-the-moment trip to the land of 9-5 ATM machines, but because Mr. Pek keeps cryin' and moanin' like a japanese schoolgirl, let me give you a brief summary of what happened...well nothing happened, although my liver has deteriorated again for some reason..hmmmm

Long story short..got notice from UCLA that I got the job, give my two weeks' notice, check out flight prices, but a flight, make sure that there will be people over there to see me, and...4 days to pack!
And what a flight it was! Korean Airlines, strongly recommend it to anyone, cheapest, more space between your seat and the one in front, great food, your own TV with about 50 movies to choose from,plus games, comedies, documentaries, and really hot stewardesses. makes me almost giggle like a schoolgirl. Well the flight there was absolutely packed with japanese students - aka those suckers with bad teeth who put up with criminally high prices just to learn English - of course 90% of which were ladies. As it is customary in this world, the airline gods not only placed me far away from the honey pot, but this time I was graced by being placed next to a 40yr old very friendly single homo who insisted I should work out my arms. After 10 hours of that, it got pretty uncomfortable. But eh, things we do to reach the motherland...

Anyway, once in Nagoya, the one and only Filipino Hooker was there to make me forget all the plane troubles, straight to the convini to buy some delicious Yebisu (which, I found out later, is made by Sapporo - c'mon you didn't know that!)

First impressions...as it was already the second time back since my 2-year stay that ended in '04, there weren't any "ooohs" or "aaahs" on my part, well of course after a nice gulp of Yebisu there was some, and also when I was run over by the massive crowds in the cities...but other than that it was all "been there, done that, done that too, done her, done," and that is a tragedy isn't it? oh well, I had other things in my mind...

plastic girls...more plastic girls...and, finally, divorce from dem plastic girls...

trash, or at least that efficient recycling system that I abhor(red); ah yes, Engrish; and the handy dandy drink ticket that is given everytime you pay a ticket to go dancin'...why don't they do it here too? cheap b***ASTARDS!

The second day was clearly extra-emotionally charged, not having seen the lady in about a year, so after meeting up in a neat cafe'/ramen shop (only in Japan that can happen) we went to this awesome ryokan with an awesome onsen, Suihouen, with an awesome tab of $400 a night. Eh, what can you do, I am just soooo rich.

the food was huge part of the stay in that cheap hotel, and the service was amazing, but - permit me to be cheeky cheesy .....
my own personal service was the best...yum!

A 7-hour train trek sneaked up on our amorous bliss, and the day after we found ourselves where it all began...SAKU, the land of Jusco, Nakagomi and the now-defunct Usuda-machi.
well, you know the comedic story of my engagement - if you don't know, well you missed out on a couple of minutes of gaijin humour - so this is what ensued...more amazing food!

what characterizes my old stompin' grounds now is the presence of a good number of kaiten sushi places all in competition with each other...so, I figured, why not be adventurous, anyway I will be going to sushi places a dozen more times in my 7 days remaining...

although I generally love all kinds of food, alive, dead, raw, cooked, swimmin', flyin', crawlin', dancin', this particular duo was as bad as it looks....
Well, I was glad to be in Saku just to be with my new family...I am so glad and proud to finally be part of it

our trip continued to Tokyo, where I gave my native Japanese partner a tour of her own culture and heritage...what a world! anyway, we were very lucky to catch Tokyo in full sakura bloom...this is Asakusa with its Senso-ji temple and market...and good snacks and beers heheh

one thing NOT to do during sakura season, if you are looking for a quiet space where to chillax, is GO TO PARKS - especially Ueno...seas of pure drunkenness under the trees in bloom...hanami!

Apparently, the latest fashion in the city for guys is being - yyup- a nerd and - if you are a girl - not so much being dressed as a slutty schoolgirl, nor as a ganguro (although that was already out also when I lived there) nor as gothic-lolita (or mini-retardo as I call it)..but as a maid! it's quite popular over there more now than ever. And, I like.

we didn't stay in Tokyo just to buy cameras and stare at mediocre-looking maids, but also to get our drink on, first at the infimous Buttu Trick Bar (do your own jokes) and then in and around Shibuya and finally in the Ueno area. No crazy club night as it was originally planned....but, it finally happened, not in Tokyo, but back in Nagano-ken (of all damn places!) where we returned on Saturday to partied in a mountain-resort-turned-wild-reggae-beach to watch our own Rie make the crowd go wild!

of course, we shouldn't have gone back to Nagano without saying hello to the family...so to avoid them we hid in Ogosso, the brand new bar of our fellas of En...amazing sochu and...whale meat (and some whale tendons, but those were not so tasty)

Looks like it was a good time! (I don't remember)

The day after we were back in Nagoya to re-meet the Flip Hooker, oh I shouldn't say that considering how racist or sex-related such terms are, and they should never ever be used in public, or god forbid, in public display

yep, it's pretty bad...if you're "full of ability" you are screwed

We then left the sin-city of Nagoya to head back to Gifu-ken and meet up with Keiko's friends who made us an amazing strawberry cake (along with many appropriate strawberry coolers, but that's another story)

best of friends but a crazy pair, he's in love with her but she just won't cave in.
anyway, we went to one of the most famous cities in Japan, Takayama, just to pretend we were tourists...one of the best places we saw was the San-Machi-Suji, or the old village, and one of the fewest ancient places that was not a temple, the Takayama Jinya, the old Shogun's representative building...not too shabby for a bureaucrat eh?

mmm and the famous Hida beef, marbled up, very oishiiiiiii and almost cheap too (but not quite!)
the day after we (the saner couple) spent the night at another onsen ryokan called Minorisou, only $200 less than the other one, and it showed...look, I don't look like a samurai anymore but like a fish-stinky servant!

between silly poses around the streets of Gero, one lucky boy was caught giving a little ring to his girl (the comedy here? the ring's gotta get resized!! (-__-!)

"goodbyes" and "see you this summer - for good"s were tough as hell, but back in Nagoya the Hooker was there with his drinkies and his ring of ladies, thankfully

Memorable, was our visit to the Asahi beer factory, where the company offers, for free, a tour of the manufacturing processes and beer-sampling (aka an all-you-can-drink chug contest before the 20 minutes expire)

oh boy, that was a good idea...
these flowers looked waaay better after the Asahi learning experience

As usual, I have to thank the hooker for these nature shots, I couldn't have taken them better, especially at the time, with more beer on one hand and hot octopus balls on the other

well, my last hours in Japan were packed full of memories and just like the other times it was really sad coming back...but I have learned one lesson that I will treasure forever:

These maids DON'T clean at all!

2006-04-15T00:45:00.000-07:00

And so there it is, Torino. You saw it, I saw it, wasn't it amazing? I am still very hungover from the huge international avalanche that submerged people from all over with enthusiasm and olympic friendship and competitiveness for weeks. That is, hungover from a huge party I did not attend! Just like I was in Nagano while everyone was still missing the '98 games as if it was the Second Coming, the same will happen when I go back to Turin, when everyone will be missing the craziness and the world's attention. Well, at least - unlike Nagano - Torino will hardly be forgotten as it is and has always been a fixture in European history and business!
Here are some exalting facts about Torino that you may have ignored while changing channels during the advertisement breaks between stupid Hughes and trailorman Miller, during which NBC infiltrated some tidbits of culture and history.
FACT: Torino, as the capital of Savoy (a kingdom straddling both France and Italy) became the first capital of Italy as it was the Savoy troops who invaded all the Italian states and unified them.
FACT: Torino was and is the technological, engineering and design capital of Italy, home of FIAT, aka the parent company of Ferrari and of the strongest soccer team in Europe, Juventus F.C.
FACT: Torino is located in Piemonte, a region where Piemontese - an actual language and not a dialect - is still spoken.
FACT: Torino is a city of magic, stuck between black and white forces and part of two major "triangles"...what the heck am I smoking you say? ask Nostradamus!
FACT: Torino has the best wines and the best foods, hands down...champagne? hah that frenchie crap...
FACT: Torino has the 2nd largest Egy museum outside of Egypt - so? well...L.A. doesn't!

If we want to get into the sports, well I have been pleased that the stupid US media went through its usual great lengths to glorify competitors who plainly sucked while completely overlooking really talented American athletes even after they won. My opinion on Bode Miller? He is a great athlete, it's just his staff and US Olympic Commitees who were idiots to let him compete at those levels. Speaking of useless athletes, Japan brought in the most numerous team in years, almost 200, but out of that cloned multitude, only one won, the one with the awkwardly funny-looking face and a really dorky white boyfriend. I mean...her coach! I mean, did you see him trying to make out with her right after the scores were announced? And, with the whole world watching, she just would not give in!! Screw the Olympics brotherhood! Once again, Japan 1 - World/dorky whiteys with asian fetish 0. Germany was fantastic, and so were the nordic countries, as expected of those poor frozen souls. Well, Norway, despite winning a gazillion medals, had so few golds that they practically proclaimed an official national collective lemming-style suicide down their fjords. Boo hoo hoo.
And then Italy did pretty well, although below expectation - but eh, not their fault they're not perfectly half asian like yours truly.

Ah, I was personally shocked of the craziness that went on in the hockey tournament, but I thought Finland deserved the overall win, but I gotta give it to the Swedes for busting their viking asses, what a game!
man, I love this game!

2006-02-11T22:16:00.000-08:00

Phone calls coming in at 3a.m usually just enrage me, just a little bit, but 3a.m. long distance phone calls from inebriated old high school buddies in Italy are a completely different story...purely nostalgic feelings mixed with pure patriotism, that usually come during soccer World Cups, permeate my place, set on stupid NBC, CNBC and USA for complete - delayed and edited for american ads - Torino 2006 Olympics coverage.
Indeed, since watching a full 4 hours block of Travel Channel documentaries on Torino last weekend, the olympic fever is on. While growing up and living in Torino for 16 years, Olympics was definitely something that was not even dreamt of, so I really admire the incredible marketing, logistical and overall popular effort to put this often overlooked corner of Italy in the spotlight. And what a show! The opening ceremonies were, literally, a feast for the eyes!

So, picture yourself in this really pretty European city, surrounded by fans from all over the world breathing in this electric atmosphere full of anticipation, walking in the porticos in the center of town from one beautifully lit square to paris-like square, drinking a nice hot chocolate in one of the many cafe's, or sipping heart-warming wine in one of those many small restaurants..mmmm oh man, I so want to go back!!!!!!

2006-01-28T00:11:00.000-08:00

Yay, happy 2006! I spent new year's watching some movie with my brother in a hotel room in Lima, Peru, yes South America's Peru...12:05, we were out! as in sound asleep out! haha

and that's me right now: I'm now a juror -lucky me - for a domestic violence case - lucky me - thus causing work to unreasonably pile up at work - lucky me -, so after spending countless useless hours performing my citizen duty, I dutifully go to work at 4:30pm. At least there is absolutely nobody in the office, so I can crank up la musica~
I will talk about my jury experience once we, the jury, send the defendant to the electric cha...er, I mean, when we come to a carefully weighed and debated decision. hah

Now, I wanted to share some pictures of Peru, oddities and whatnot...ready for some sexy ladies?

A typical airport (in the middle of nowhere Burbank style) and political canvassing, another typical weekly tradition of Peruvians, and INKA COLA...a typical peruvian drink, very uplifting

and speaking of uplifting..the ultra popular coca leaf tea, from which good ole Coca-Cola and the '80s drug of choice are derived; and this odd rabbit/gopher critter ...and oh these are THE real rabbits!

Ah yes, the safest way to get to our hotel on Lake Titicaca...Llama Xing and, well an alpaca...yumm, I must have eaten this litle guy in all possible ways, fried, broiled, in pasta, in roulades, pot pies, sausage, dry...versatile, eh!

and these are the monkeys! in Lima...on the highest toilet in the world...and in the Amazon!

the ancient Inca culture is fully alive and well despite the spaniard colonization...most Peruvians are mixed, but many are still considered indigenous, and these still identify themselves in different tribes, recognizable by language inflexions, their women's hats, persistent social structures and architecture...

Inca ceremonial architecture was so perfect that it was never topped nor copied by the Spanish, and original structures still survive, supporting modern buildings too. Like Machu Picchu, most Inca constructions were unfinished, the Incas did not have an "end date" as westerners perceive it...oh boy, they did get royally screwed at the end though..

the food was overall really good, and cute little furry critters were often very appreciated

The Amazon was a world apart..everything is inaccessible if you do not have a plane, or a boat or a machete or nuclear powered bug spray...those boats were quite a challenge for our fat asses, but toppling over was not an option due to the abundance of caymans and piranhas..

nuclear powered bug spray may not work against these monsters...flying, yes, FLYING scorpion - nocturnal, of course - and a huge spider that jumps on its mammal preys, and a borg-like collective of caterpillars.... mmmm, almost delicious, eh?

morale of the story? take them 7 vaccination shots I took before going there!

(oh, and Peru is pretty cool too!)

I kind of left off the last post hanging, I just talked about the trip in NY without mentioning the neat trips that I took in the countryside of Pennsylvania, home of the Amish and of crime capital Philly and pretentious Princeton (and a million other ivy league schools).. how do you like DEM apples?!!! oh nevermind, that was Haaaaaaaarvard.
Let me go backwards then, starting from this weekend.

Aw, c'mon, you gotta appreciate pure Amish irony..we think they're all so puritan, but you gotta give them credit for naming a town "Intercourse"!!!
Rating: a bloody good A!

well, I'm off to bed...who knows, I might see you again this week!
or... maybe not...

Rating: below bad.

2005-12-04T23:04:00.000-08:00

Ah yes, New York New York....this time around that was quite an experience! of course the weather was what it was, cold and nasty, nevertheless the city had this..charm...it brought me back to Europe for a while....everybody walking, people everywhere, metro, pubs, life at any given moment of the day....not LA! It was also good to see THOUGH BRIEFLY those two ole bastards from Japan, mr KindofCrap in person and the Soverow, future lawyer.

Funny thing...we did exactly what we would have done back in our humble abodes in Japan: drink and do nothing or do something useless to kill time and make fun of Japanese customs in a completely racist manner. Ah yes, good times!
I heard now it's snowing over there...hah! suckas! oh wait, I applied to a bunch of jobs there...hmmm yay suckas!
of course, we did a lot of sightseeing, cramping out legs and whatnot, but it was definitely worth it, and I wasn't even robbed!

and now some random pictures of the city
This is the corner of Broadway and 42nd

all funky tekno, memoirs of a crazy night spent at Spundae last night.

speaking of crazy....
This past week was pretty crazy, without counting the Halloween weekend. Finally the main stuff in school (thesis, portfoliosa) has been turned in so now finishing my classes are just a formality~ now it's time to find a good job for next year..had one inteview so far, with the State Auditors - can you imagine me in Sacramento?! woohoo moo moo aw gawd!
then I also got certified as a loan signing agent, which has nothing to do with what I want to do in life. Except...oh hey, I am a Loan Signing Agent and a Notary Public...please let me know if you have anything to be signed or certified and I will give you a generous discount!!!!!! e-mail me (this is not a joke)(I truly am certified and too chea..I mean, I didn't have time to publish real advertisements)

And then, there is the issue of the California special election and the treasonous efforts by the White House to damage this country. What liars!!! Can you believe that?!! and why didn't Bush fire "Scooter"????? Hypocrite, bigot, traitors all of them!!!
Bird flu my ass!
why does Bush bring up bird flu all of a sudden? does he think that we will soon forget the SHIT he has thrown in the face of the Constitution and the people of this country?
the lies that brought to the stermination of thousands and thousands of soldiers and civilians in Iraq?
murderers! liars! it truly makes me sicker and sicker by the day.

oh, and by the way, the bird flu vaccine is produced by one and one only company, owned in part by.....Rumsfeld.
hey hey hey...he needs some ca$h to buy the Xmas presents so y'all go get some bird flu now and buy his precious vaccine for $100 a pop.

I have to patient. The good will eventually prevail over these obviously anti-christian, republican liars.
"Love one another" my ass...Conservative Christians, if you truly love Jesus, who loved the poor, who didn't discriminate, who preached love not hate, who preached self-determination of the individual in light of his Word....be less conservative and be real for a change, open your eyes, accept that this is not the place nor the time to further your senseless your twisted and bigot agenda.

speaking of these oddballs, they obviously did an appearance with signs saying "Repent or Perish" during the West Hollywood Carnival. Homophobes are haters. Hate is evil....man, even Mario and Saddam know that

these ladies know that

even these sexy people know that

scream it to them!

DON'T GIVE HATE A CHANCE!

and if you don't like my ladies...then stay in your heretical churches and don't mess with us ninjas~ ARRRR

and now, the usual nostalgic throwback... Halloween 2004 with Sam the Hot Mama, ShaSha and yours truly the Sushi Chef from hell... now THAT's scary and un-Christian!

Halloween 2003, most likely in Nagano, but beer memory doesn't serve me right

Halloween 2002, with the Miff

cheerio!

2005-10-26T01:07:00.000-07:00

I apologize for bringing this up again, but people keep commenting on how I party all the time! That is so far from the truth. In fact, I also devote a large part of my time watching TV!

what? you want me to bore you with my actual real life of work, thesis, politics and bigotry? no, right? you wanna see schoolgirls, japanese craziness and if you're Yoko, super super hot dark guys
...as promised, for you, a random "dark" guy, mr Wentworth Miller, who stars in one of my favorite tv shows this season, Prison Break

hey, give the guy a break! he was in Dinotopia after all!
as for me, I still think this guy is by far the best

and his girlfriend too
speaking of girlfriends, I also have been watching this japanese drama called 女系家族, or Nyokei Kazoku which literally means "Family of Women,"

which is not what most of you guys think it is, but it's an uber-dramatic drama that should be translated into "Matriarchy" or "Bunch of biatches ganging up on their dead-dad's young girlfriend who's having his baby who will take all the inheritance away from them"

did I say too much of the story? haha

oh yes! but I do not watch vein-cutting programs all the time! season 2 of Lost, thanks to Richard-Attorney-At-Law-Almost who keeps me posted, is keeping me on the edge, great (ODD) plot...and that 70s show of course!

and old seasons of Futurama

that is seriously a great show, well, most of the time!

enough of that! you ready for more party? i think this girl is!

This time, we blessed the OC with our presence, to go to Mr.Miami's brother's birthday...cool stuff the OC, although I do not remember any of it...except of course watching the grandiose UCLA game

and as the night "calmly" winded down, I decided to pretend to be canadian...it worked!! but with questionable results...hahaha

speaking of random ladies, the Hooker finally sent me some interesting j-pop, which features first...on the top 10. Note: Eri is produced by Mondo Grosso! will that guy ever come to the States???!!!! Note #2: couldn't help making this top 10 almost all japanese~ teeheehee

1. Eri Nobuchika - I hear the music in my soul
2. Mondo Grosso feat. BoA - Everything Needs Love[Cornelius Remix]
3. Misia - Shining star [DJ Spinna Remix]

2005-10-18T21:52:00.000-07:00

Enjoying my second car-less night boohoo, it feels like when you leave home without your keys, or without your watch (if you're stuck in the 80s) or cell phone (if you're evolved)... well it's pouring outside, a rarity - of course - in L.A., and it's cold, as cold as Japan in spring, but for Los Angeles wusses it's like Fargo

The past two days seemed like the greatest disaster struck L.A., man, accidents everywhere, floodings and what not, all for some rain and thunder...we were this close to evacuate!
wusses wusses

speaking of wusses

I, clearly, am not one.

It's looks like I have been partying more and more each week, and it is, in fact,

quite true~!! This time, it was time for me and my partner in nightlife to bless a reggae event with our presence, Jah be blessed, at the Dragonfly...special guest, dancehall grandpa Sugar Minott!

and the bird!

It was a very very good night, and I felt the vibes until the day after, to a point that I listened to dub and reggae all day at work that pissed off my cubicle neighbor. tough luck Jah be blessed rastafarai HAILE selassssssiaiaiaiaiaiaiaih

We colonized your asses, haile selassie whores! Italian Pride RePrAzEnT!

am I tripping? yes..that's what happens when you deprive a Los Angeleno of his car, Jah be blessed.

Well, Jah be blessed, come to think of it, about the same time last year I had the accident that brought away half of my car...odd, huh rastafarai!
yes, honor to you Haile Selassie, the car was kaputt, so I went to party up north haha

Jah be blessed, what a night~!

oh yes, what a night

Now, 2003, same time...well I was freezing my butt off, Jah sorry, yah mon, haile selassie...Nagano! and my infimous taco parties!
Jah, how I miss those times sooo much~!!!

mojo man

or height difference, whichever works

and 2002! at that time this year I was, indeed, freezing more, mon, Jah be blessed, so I tried to find warmth with my tokyo girls..
but they took me to Nikko

where they cared more about the monkeys than me hehehe

Jah be blessed, but is the weekend here yet?
I deserve a kiss for my infinite patience, mon!

2005-10-12T21:58:00.000-07:00

BOW TO ME

The simple fun of visiting presidential libraries! Indeed, last weekend was very
anti-cultural, first visiting bad ole Nixon in good ole Viet/Republican Orange
County, and then visiting traitor "Star Wars" Reagan in arid/Republican Simi
Valley. Of course, the rhetoric in those museums was disgustingly forgetful of
what history should be, but they were fairly interesting, I mean, the Nixon
one was, while the Reagan one had a nice garden, oh an a nice replica of what
the Office

Conservatives, right-wing, war-mongering, Jesus-toting bigots and liars
rest in peace, hopefully more like you will join those two buried bastards
so you can rot happily ever after

speaking of happy, we went to a concert at Xes of a band whose name
now is lost in this bottle of alcoholic water I'm drinking, neato
burrito, and it had rap too

and one happy cousin too!

oh, la top dies
1. Troubleman ft. Spacek - Without you
2. Funky Technicians aka Total Science - One world
3. 7 Samurai - Brothers
4. Conga Squad - I'm hot for you [original version]

wow, I was sooooooo motha##$@$#EwedafuCking pissed JUST A
second ago, stupid Firefox is a real piece of SHIT let me just
say that
coincidentally, a minute ago, my dreadful monday died with
the coming of peaceful midnight....
what the hell is up with mondays? why oh why?
the only moment of clarity today were my cousins coming over
to watch the Packers crash, burn, rise and burn again
but at least Brett Favrrerere got a load of points for our
fantasy football teams..
the weekend was all like that...thoughtless moments of
sincere alcoholic opportunities and smiles haha

but before we dig into deeper, the top 10
1. Nouvelle Vague - This is not a love song
2. Studio Apartment - Sambao
3. Jamiroquai - Seven days in sunny June [Planetary Crash mix]
4. Blockhead - Carnivores Unite
5. Caia - Jericho

7. Musique (The Lisa Marie Experience) - Keep on jumping
8. Yann Fontaine - Soul Fonction
9. Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band - Cherchez la femme
10. The Plant Life - When she smiles (she lights the sky)

It all began ages ago, last Thursday, when the Sharls went to
check out a set by Miguel Migs, in this super crowded new
Hollywood venue called "Vanguard"

just kiddin', we got there too unfashionably early, but the
music was nice, and the bootay shakin' became contageous as the
night went on! sweateee people sexy people I say!

But it wasn't over! The day after, despite that little
annoyance called job, the party continued at an old 3north
buddy and UCLA political celeb for his "P" party
so that's me "P"anda, "P"uppeteer, "P"enis" with Dave the "P"unkrocker

oooh yes the PANDA was back with a vengeance!

drunk little bastard
next is Sharls again, but as a "P"rincess, then we have a
"P"aperboy, a "P"oliceman and a "P" uh... "P"ossibly drunk Sean

there were actually three Policemen, and a cop woman, a pope,
a couple of prostitutes, a prison inmate, a pocket of aces, a
pornstar, a persian (so wroong), and

oh yes!
I mean, oh no!

I also went to my company's party by the beach, but sorry,
no photos, as 1) it was not too interesting; 2) too much sand;
3) my hands were full of bbq sauce...eh! what can you do, eh?
Railroad people do know how to party harty - well, almost
But this is what actually happened in my mind

Right after that, and this is Saturday, I met up with some peeps
in a restaurant in SaMo, where the only uncoupled people
were, as always, Sharls and I...oh and Iman's bro, future magician

and of course

A VERY MERRY UN-BIRTHDAY TO YOU ShaSha! haha

2005-09-25T22:38:00.000-07:00

Not that I go out that often (anymore) but finally I got to not hang out in Hollywood
nor in Santa Monica for once, but in the bustling downtown area of Chinatown, which is like San Francisco's at night: darn scary! And, in fact, not bustling at all.
But, miss J was there, so it was all good!

And it was quite a party inside Chow Fun~

My favorite partier from the East Side

"I caaan't heeear yoooou, bring'em out bring'em out! heeeey"

Interestingly, the floor above was also happenin', and in obvious harmony with Los Angeles' racial mix, it was also an all white crowd...get it? whiteys above, colored below, but it was a party too!
oh the singer was Asian. Yea, it was a very confusing building.

yup, another weekend, another week, but right now I wish I was partying like last night!! hahaa
I'll be back, Chow Fun!

2005-09-19T13:08:00.000-07:00

Recently I've been fiddling around with a webcam aka my new instrument of perversion, naaah I'm not like that! (heh heh heh) just kidding just kidding
your doghter kicked my dog! you kick it you! no no you don't tell me to fack! fack you! your doghter! she kick it! I kill you! what? just kidding just kidding!

indeed...I am at work! how did you guess? Anyway, point is that my buddy Ames up north in Alaska pointed out that there are no pics of her in any of my blogs! no seriously, what's up with that?! so, eh, why not going down memory lane and show off the damage I did in Asia before I started posting my pictures and those schoolgirl ones which I am sure where far more interesting.
In any case, not much happenin' here so might as well do this....

So, Ames, this is for you..our trip to Korea 2002~!!!

On the way to....McDonald's! Dogburgers yummmm!

Gyeongbokgung's gate and the market behind Nandaemun

2005-09-15T01:37:00.000-07:00

So, first of all there's this nice very arab-looking
Office Space nerd who's sending a gosh knows what jihad
against one of the few bastions of anti-Bushism, L.A.

What tha...these Republicans, they really are so creative
in their anti-democrat efforts...but this is pushing it~~!

And then, all of a sudden, the day after...major blackout
hits downtown L.A....sheeeesh, good thing I wasn't in an
elevator, but still I was trapped in that stupid skyscraper,
and needless to say the phones were out, lights were at the
generator-minimum, and the emergency air system clearly needed
to have sme breath mints

coincidence? I---think---NOT

let's send the special forces to take out that guy, please!

2005-09-03T01:44:00.000-07:00

Konnichiwa!

Another mix for y'allhere about two hours...a neat blend of house, breakbeats, disco, acid jazz and Puttin on the Ritz! (and Jamiroquai of course!)\(^_^)/ If you're just too cool do download it then stream it.

No more Vegas...the sausage fest is moved to alcoholic San Luis Obispo! aah yeeea...beaches (biatches hihihi), fishing (for ladies), absorbing nature (perspiring alcohol), mingling with nature (running from bears), and smiling (to show how fearless we are) under the warm (scorching) midday sun.

Neat week in the otherwise sickly office... a surprise b-day party, for instance...

...became the unexpected bukkake surprise

bukkakation

bukakketized
happy birthday!

and the huge firestorm/backdraft/the shield drama on Wilshire and Western

the Great Fire in the Trash Bin of 2005 was conquered.

まじ早いおきって、仕事に行って、日本語の勉強して、７時までに大学院にいって、ｇｙｍに行って、１万人と電話ではなしました。。。。長疲れただーーー

in other news, on the left reddish side I posted permanent links to my drum and bass mix for both Real Audio and Mp3 formats...neato burrito! 聞きてじゅだせｘ！

2005-08-29T09:53:00.000-07:00

Freakin' hot, eh!?! What the heck, if I knew it was gonna be this hot I would have gone to the beach rather than play soccer with really hot girls! haha
I kiid I kiiiiiid

So, because I was not doing anything else this Sunday but recovering from playing soccer from the day before, I looked into sites that would host my horrendous dj mixes for free and yay yay yay, was able to find one....
so this mix, made last year together with my merry friend Long Island Ice Tea with records and mp3 and mp3 cds

Paolo Daniele - "Drum e beis 12-14-2004"
it if takes too much time to load on your Real Player, the direct link is up in hurrr.

Oh yes, you'd think that with me it would be always house and disco? nah people, I'm not always that dull! this is chillaxed drum and bass tinted in yellow and green from Brazil.......you'd wanna get out of your workstation, grab a cheeeeky pineapple drink, bikinis, banana hammock speedos, sunnies and fly to the beach...at the Copa Copacabanaaaaaaa

mmmmmmmmmm

Boa noite

2005-08-25T23:32:00.000-07:00

Just heard an extremely inspiring track on 89.9FM, which turns out it's from Japan!
Coincidence? I thiiiink nottt. Jazztronik
it's actually
on the B side and it's called "Phoenix"...you can listen to a sample hurrrr...

The house will be filled to the brim this weekend so there is no chance for me to
finish up tinkering and fixing up the hardware to finally do a nice recording of
a dj mix, but hopefully on monday I can finish it up, eh! ざんねーーん！来週 ok
とおもっています
Speaking of being busy, work has not been too nice to me, except for one hot day
when some of the young ones went on a learning trip...and we learned hella good
card games!

and had an emotional first encounter/ride with what my job is really all about!

I was so happy I was almost going to cry.
Instead I was worried about not getting my arse kicked by other lowly interns.

work--------------------------------------->play! what's the difference?
<---->

effectively, it looks like not much, eh

big B...think u english, matey?
and the Hottest Potato

now, the quiz of the week....what's a good title for the picture below?
write your silly answer on the board on the left ( or I will bukkake you)

2005-08-21T23:08:00.000-07:00

another week of craziness went by, and another weekend of craziness went by
and now another week of craziness awaits around the corner.

might as well reminisce about good ole Europe!
but first...a top 10, just for kicks~
1. Jamiroquai - Seven days in sunny June
2. Jamiroquai - Seven days in sunny June [Steve Mac Remix Radio Edit]
3. The Chemical Brothers - The big jump
4. Stephane Pompougnac - Tango forte (Dublex inc)
5. Ravin - Strobe's nanafushi [Satori mix]
6. Slum Village - Everyday [DJ Spinna mix]
7. Beatfanatic - Jugando capoeira
8. Common - Go
9. Carmen Mcrae - Straighten Up & Fly Right [Jazzelicious Remix]
10. Bonobo - Nothing Owed

so, as promised...we travel back to the land of good baguettes, sophisticated
french ladies, awesome french cheeses, french Asterix , tours of France, and, of course,
the home of the oddest language
we all know as

CORRECTO MUNDO!
Paris was a really great break from the boiling pasta pot that is the Italian
summer. It's not my fault that Italian people are so hot like me!
Of course, being the first time I get there sober, it was imperative to visit
the tourist spots for memories' sake. Like Notre Dame's stainglasses and the hunchback's homosexual playmates

more churches, arches, museums and views and Tour Eiffels...eh? eh? check out this Eiffel Tower upskirt, babyyyy...

too sexy~

so what did I do at night? of course, I wanted to see the traditional fallic
symbols of Paris at night!!!

ah, le Moulin Rouge....who would have thought that one day they'd make a movie
about a bona fide strip club with beautiful butt naked lipsynchers.
Well, at least I think they were singing....
I also met up with Paris' adopted son, good ole Ray...and partied at the Renault Atelier...if you can call "touching french sports heroes' private parts in front of disgusted french people" a party...

My little brother had his fill of art history and all of that good stuff they fail to
teach in his ignorant country that is Texas...well in Cali too, I think...
I mean...how can't people appreciate masterpieces like the famous Venus de Milo,
Rothko's convoluted and intricate designs???

mmm sweet ass...so full of...art!

...and finally...the Mona Lisa!

and her many Koreans

So, the morale of the story, of the whole trip to Paris is

You can have more fun and play than in Las Vegas!

yea baby yea

2005-08-12T22:58:00.000-07:00

Ah, finally the whole cycle is complete...as good ole Galvin pointed out, it's been a year since we left Japan. And of course, Japan is the last thing that's on my mind, all I think is how great summer is! Ain't that right, ladies?!

Yup yup yup, summer = sun, beach and lucky coconuts!

eheheh...well not for me! I'm back at the drag that is low-paid work, but at least I have some cool people such as one Asian Hybrid
The trip to Europe was good, got to see old friends - of which I promptly lost most the pictures during the transfer to the motherF@#$**!@UCKING computer - SORRY!
Anyway, it was nice to be back, to step back in time, and eat good good good foood
Such as delicious tiramisu' (which means "Pull me up", literally) and this awesome pure european tomato concoction

This is another thing that I missed, which competes closely to the Japanese heated toilet seat and incorporated ass washer...the mythical bidet!

And then there are those things that you just can't help to notice, so European! Always drugs and sex on their minds! I wish they were as puritan protestants as we are eh?!

and what would Europe be without some hater soccer?!

ah yes...family time...from the family tomb, to family party...

hmmm is it in bad taste to put my cousin's wedding picture right next to the family tomb's? eh...

Torino is a mess of a city as it prepares to host the Olympics next February. Anyway, it was really pretty before all of this, so I can only imagine how awesome it's gonna be during the Olympics and after, as all the construction is finished and ready for Michelle Kwan and the Canadians and the Jamaican bobsled team and the hoards of Labatt (Blue) lovers.

and what is Italy without a nice daily intake of pizza, tobacco and good looking people?

In the end, it was always a tough choice...I mean c'mon! how can you choose?!
"ooops" I meant this
heh heh heh

Next time....destination-----> PARIS, pictures and gratuitous material.... a' la prochaine~~

2005-08-10T16:42:00.000-07:00

I was in Italy, yo! calm down!

2005-07-13T00:07:00.000-07:00

You know what's DY-NO-MITE?!

just received a copy of the Japanese release...good stuff!!!!

and yu know what's more DIEEE-NOOOOO-MAAAAAAITE?

I'm going back home!

cheerio!

2005-07-10T23:07:00.000-07:00

Talk about unfair competition!

yup, superiority comes in different ways....oooooo

long time no update, and I apologize, but I've been busy busy workin' (it), and thanks to good ole Rich in the East I have been praying that Karl Rove be sent to jail. In the meantime, I have decided to pack my bags and finally move to Canadia since that's where I will be going eventually due to my treasonous ideas

yay! eh? eh? eh? eh!

nah, just kidding, it wasn't Canada, but close. San Fran, once again!
For the Fourth of July celebrations, I figured why not go to the most patriotic city of all, the land where there are supposedly more freedoms than anywhere else in Bushlandia!
Fab bbq with the norcal chinese trimurti and all the peeps and their wan wans

and the hot hot hot karaoke - dansu naito (and it's not the alcohol, it's a pure and harsh case of sunburn!)

speaking of norcal, finally we had a small hooka pow wow with good ole buddies from ucla...as usual it was deadly funny to speak about the craziness that was that overpriced diseducation at ucla....

I love hookas. Good thing strawberry tobacco is legal!

have a gut week!

2005-06-30T00:01:00.000-07:00

It sucks to say goodbye, but this week it was definitely the topic on everyone's mouth...from the new JETs leaving for Japan - to which I had the mispleasure to speak during an event, and cool co-workers/partners in corporate crime leaving for greener tsunami-hit pastures

see ya soon Nan-C haha

speaking of leaving, I'm outta here in 2 weeks...back to the homeland

IT"S LIKE FAAAAMEEELEEEEEEE...EEEEH MARIO! LUIGI!!! NINTENDO!!!! FLAAAAAVIOO!!
tutti a Torino!

and now, for the last -hopefully- of the tour of my lifeless office...the view from above:

cheerio!!! off to SF this weekend!

2005-06-23T23:14:00.000-07:00

ya, basically nothing's new...just the weekends, oh boy do I love weekends...

This time, destination: San Diego, the land of racist whales and borderless americans.
Hella good time, meet cool/cute/toast new san diegans who made me sleep in the elevator

...in the wrong place of town (unless they knew where I lived)(if so, then I was quite at home)( and HA HA great sense of humor)

...cheerio! congratz to the grad, rather have you rule the world with a bottle of vodka in your hand than a certain lovable monkey in DC

2005-06-08T23:43:00.000-07:00

I forgot the gratuitously suggestive Japanese
ladies. I apologize!
This time, they're appropriately dressed California style

eh? you see? one day they will also get the sport right.
Till then...who cares, right?

Ah, today two fellas tried to rob me on my way back home
from work, but I valiantly escaped on the chivalrous Red Metro
Bus. Pure Carifornia!

"...psst...braces, girls, braces..."

2005-06-07T21:38:00.000-07:00

I am really busy at work, I swear!

and this is the actual reason why I was so cracked out at work today....

the real beauty and my unhealthy fascination for house music, I was thinking last night, is sheer and shrewd mathematical perfection and bass

did I mention I was so cracked out today?

2005-06-03T23:27:00.000-07:00

and so it began, the hard life of salaryman wasabe
in the semi-corporate world of donwtown Los Angeles

=

that's how it's gonna turn out if it keeps killing me like this.
I should've known that not all government jobs are as fun as the postal surrvice!

2005-05-26T01:04:00.000-07:00

supposedly, the best that Japan has to offer.

Said last time about posting pics about the craziness

With all those ladies around, I just stuck at what I do best,
which is touching other guys' nipples

yea well, that last one may not have been a guy....
but it's LA! you never know...

and for the last unrelated gratuituous nakedness, here
is our friend who clearly mastered the art of motorcycling
(sorry, couldnt come up with anything lamer to say)

cheers~ go SONICS

2005-04-27T00:23:00.000-07:00

Naughty Pics #1

2005-04-21T00:17:00.000-07:00

Latest news from the front:

Day 3 of being alone, and finally seeing some light and
realizing that I also have a truckload of free time now...
So I started sifting through the hundreds of naughty
pictures i have taken in these past 3 months...
so, here's a first installment to which, as people do
in their gay websites, I will give it a nifty title:
Watch the Sign

This was taken before my suicide attempt at Grand Canyon

well, you would say to yourself "OMG!", it's a 1 mile
high cliff, wouldn't you be careful anyway?
oh, you'd be surprised

I then saw this at the Grove ripping-you-off center
in ultra-gay West Hollywood...is this a subtle subliminal lesbo message?

These were taken in Tombstone, AZ, perhaps the most
violent ghost town in the U.S., well at least with
the most colorful and entertaining deaths I've ever heard

don't trust'em Bisbee folk

can you believe this?!
and finally, a prelude of things to come...for all of us that is!

that's right Bushy, keep second-guessing on why we are in
crap in a time of incredible economic growth!!! only you can do
such nonsense!

Returning to actual signs, this is directly from my
streets, yo! Downtown L.A.

Steve, YOU ARE SUCH A BADASS! woohooo

and finally, the gratuitous Japanese lady, I mean
happy birthday to my comrades in Japan! and for the
Flip Hooker, keep bumpin' it in Nagoya~

SURPRI...heeeey, who opened the present?!

2005-04-19T01:07:00.000-07:00

2005-02-22T00:07:00.000-08:00

2005, eh! Canada here we go!

nah, just kidding, I will face one more year of this bullcrap...and then we are off to Canada!

This government....what are we gonna doooo!!!! aaah!

Well, I was able to escape it for a bit with a neat tour of Asia...
Old memories, old friends....I've been gone a while, I can't type,
so here is a beeeetsy porno-summary.
Note - I was in the bathroom at Narita Tokyo airport, just landed, washed my hand and looked all over for a towel or something to dry myself-
then it hit me...

2004-12-20T01:57:00.000-08:00

countdown to the exodus from Bush-land...
the land of hypocrisy and hidden fascism

Raj being stopped by the buta for the heck of it..
oh, I mean, no seatbelt....he just started
driving for a minute!!!

minus 10 hours...ah yeeee! destination: Pilipinas!

yaaaan! and no, screw Korean, I'm doing JAL!

speaking of Asia, was chit chatting with
a friend last night at Oneal's b-day party
about what I miss about 日本 and, perhaps due
to many Stolis + Sprite, my answer was TV...
you may say, dang how the heck could you
possibly understand what they were saying?!
but look, what is it that you can't understand
about this?

'pines..here I come

ho ho ho

2004-12-14T01:57:00.000-08:00

Perhaps, remnants of the good ole Engrish days, we've
been doing some soul-searching in the great cultural pot
that is Los Angeles...and the results are not interesting
at all unless you think like what a horny republican thinks
when seeing Jenna Bush...

ok, ya, the last 2 pics are not exactly from L.A.,
but they pretty much describe what goes on in
my apartment...yahh...
speaking of which, don't get involved with bad company! dawgs!

and beware of rodents

and those burly drunken vets on their harleys

THE DANGEROUS STREETS OF L.A. (VOTE BUSH)
BEWARE, EVIL CRAWLS EVERYWHERE (VOTE BUSH)
OH MY GOD, CAN YOU BELIEVE THEY WANT TO KEEP CLUBS OPEN AFTER 1:45AM?
(VOTE BUSH)

tragic story...after the insano dj set by Fatboy Slim
this big group of brazilians, students I take it,
were pretty pissed.."fuck America!" they said,
so my patriotic heart was inflamed, so I asked
"why, oh why, do you insult my sacred and secure
homeland, you mexican minger?" and they said
"2 am is bullcrap! only transvestites go home at
2 am in Brazil, and that's just to check if the
boobs are straight"
point is, it was odd to hear them speak like that
in such a temple of culture that is the
Natural History Museum..

can you see the gazelle on the left window?

more pics of the Fatboy Slim shindig next time
(haha Richard)(may you rot in hell) VOTE BUSH!
and finally, some gratuitously scantily clad women...
but really, this is a game:

everything is different in this picture except for
5 things which are exactly the same...and perhaps
stop looking at those fat or phat legs, it would help..
cheers!
and top 10
1. (ditto)
2. The Rapture - Sister saviour [Dfa dub remix]
3. Mighty Ryders - Evil vibrations

yup yup yup, it's almost time

asia here I come!

speaking of which, kinda a while ago there was a JET alumni
meet-up at the not-so-great-but-still humongous villa of
the Japanese consul in Hancock Park
...good to see Kristy 'n' Pearl, and drink for free

you thougt that all I do is just rant all day against the
fascism that envelopes this country?
You are way wrong, in fact, I lament the fact that it affects
the whole world...what's up with that Canadian province, anyway?

anyway...as my old buddy pal KindofCrap would probably say...
"Bush is a bukkake waiting to happen"

no, anyway, I went to see D.J. Sneak, funky and hard as
expected, and Jori Hulkkonen, hailing from the terra incognita
of Finland with a peculiar blend of house and techno that I
have never heard before....got me hooked, needless to say..

and the long awaited top 10!
1.Two Tons of Fun - Do you wanna boogie, hunh? [BBE re-edit]
2. Nomad - (I Wanna Give You) Devotion

2004-11-13T01:52:00.000-08:00

Just chilling back home listening to the free-est radio in
L.A., 90.7 right now playing awesome music, but broadcasting
eye-opening real facts of life to counter the lies and hypocrisy
of the "moral majority"

speaking of morality, I keep forgetting to mention the
good fun I've been having in SF, the latest craziness
happening at Pam's b-day!

talking about going crazy....whats up with putting a hispanic
as nazi general...sneaky bastard

and MORAL MAJORITY!!!!???!!!!! YOU BASTARDS!!!!

2004-11-09T01:39:00.001-08:00

Sick, really sick...I mean not only the whole election thing,
but I am sick too, and I don't mean the schoolgirl thing,
(follow the arrow muahaha)(boo)
but
I also have a macho of a fever that has posessed me...damn cold, I thought
that was only a japan phase, being japan deprived of heating
and of any knowledge regarding insulation.
I guess it's the perfect time to do a useless update since I
am not in the right state of mind!
Happy belated Halloween, by the way...partied as usual, did
the LA pilgrimage to West Hollywood's carnival...we noticed
many dressed as her
but we managed to take a picture with local quasi-japansters

I forgot to talk about the crazyness at Pam's bday up in SF

that's for next time, although you can see some crazy pictures
of the nights at Pam's, Steph's and Chris'....

and now...let's consider that Canada thing for a while...

2004-11-03T09:34:00.000-08:00

....what a country of stupid stupid idiots....
I am gonna kiss my future in america goodbye thanks to you, 50% of ameriKKKa
I guess it does take more than 100000 unjustified innocent deaths in iraq
to turn heads in this "christian" country, I guess it takes more than
millions of americans out of insurance and jobs, I guess it takes more than
fucking up our environment and giving blatant kick-backs to big money
corporations and special interest
ha! and this is the largest democracy?!!
as my italian friends say...
"american people are so fat that it's gone to their brains!"

2004-11-02T01:24:00.000-08:00

Yup, it's again that time of the year
Just keep in mind that....

that's right...free dom costs!!!!!!!!

2004-10-28T01:50:00.000-07:00

Just wanted to say hi! Ciao a tutti! come va la vita, eh?

After writing 50+ pages in one day, thus spending 90% of my waking hours in front
of this screen, I thought it would be just appropriate to end my day in front
of it, yuppy yay

Just listening to some good mixes lately. For some good quality deep house mixes
check out the Slammin Boys
Today I was looking at countless and invaluable classic house and breaks mixes
that you can find at DeepHouse Page.
And, finally, the other day I was suprprised to hear on the radio a cocktail
music group, appropriately called Pink Martini, whose album I randomly
bought 6 years ago....well, they have a live set at KCRW, the REAL radio of LA.

i almost forgot the gratuitous sexy lady of the day muahahaha

it's all about the music.

2004-10-21T01:52:00.000-07:00

....covering up the typhoon within him....
give it up (to him) weather lady!!!
oh, you poor babies....raining hard over there in japan? here it's actually pouring...
southern california, what do you know, eh?
ok we dont have nasty volcanoes like Asama

but L.A. has its share of nastiness, like carjackings, riots and whatnot
shitty day today, got into my bi-yearly car accident (see this for the previous one), although unlike the last time no one was hurt and no schoolgirls were involved, although I am sure my wallet will be the one in pain once i get the bill to fix up the entire right side of my new hyundai....argh darn it!!!!

that's right, I feel like..umm.."buried debris"...thank you bitch!

anyway, i am ready for the weekend, once again up north...
i think i'm having a love affair with the Bay Area, three
times in two months already...
what can I say, cool hotties and neat tuff guys up there
... always good fun

2004-10-11T23:59:00.000-07:00

oh my gosh! an update!!

in the last update I posted a cartoon that still cracks me up and, well, you can totally read into it...i mean, stick it out and *chop* there you are, squrting and splattering blood all over...kind of how I feel living here as opposed to, well, after wrok that is, how it was in Japan. here it's all proud and so american, and the moment you say something criticizing the establishment or uttering I will vote "John Kerry"..
wow..
you are an ANTI-AMERICAN eeew eeew eeeew!
leave the US to the real USians you hippie! go back to Iraq and die, you slacker US ranger!!! go back to Europe you ungrateful bastard commie!

After the two debates between George W Bush and *ew John Kerry, the republican-aligned networks post polls where the candidates are pretty much all tied, with a good chunk of people in the middle still undecided...what morons, how can they still be undecided it is so obvious that at these debates GEORGE BUSH WON!

Now, here are some pictures depicting out lovely president engaged in some PR

and then some

aaaah, yes

in other related news, I recently engaged in

nah, I wish

went out with my newlywed cuz...@ the Larchmont

@ Star Shoes with Camillegal and mr Young
and partying in the huge city of Mantica, CA

seems that all is good in CA..sunshine, school and all
but at the end of the day, there is still one place that I hate but where I'd like to go back...

2004-10-11T23:56:00.000-07:00

in a way...this is america

always exxxxxagerating...thanks Richie Rich for the link

2004-09-23T23:50:00.000-07:00

11:53pm in Los Angeles...
bloody hot, aeons away from where I was, and yet my mind is always going back there..
本当になずかしーーーーー

... quality nights and days in this stupid country ... new daytime activities, new nightime activities, new car, new nazi police, new scenes, crowds, foods...
and back with the past... family, friends, sckooool, nazi police, politics, tacos...
the crazy frenetic unstoppable anti-chill life that is department-of-homeland-security-guns-2am-no-alcohol-no-party amerikkka.
undoubtly in limbo... not many understand me here, it's like I seriously lived on the moon, stayed away for 2 dinosaur ages and came back and nothing changed....
