not a train wreck!!!

LOL

One of the new songs on the latest Weezer album is called 'trainwrecks' have a listen. A line in the song is, ' we don't update our blogs, we are trainwrecks'. Sarcastic of course but trying to stay on the ball around.

I have finally went from hating my job and feeling unappreciated to dealing with the job and just pretending to be complimented how good I'm doing when I should be! :P It was all actually from the wedding I just went to.
The table I sat at with had a couple foreigners that have lived here for a while and know a little more about Japan and way of life than I because of their experience here. It was a nice coincidence they were all there too because their opinions really helped me out a bit with things around here.

Basically, like most jobs here in Japan you need to put in your time! Japan is super big on seniority and it's kinda the way things are here. Which makes sense, I was kinda jumping the gun on the vault expecting a lot of stuff because I'm a kind of fast acting type of person. Once I stepped back for a second I noticed that I've only worked here for just over a month! It's going to take some time to implement my goals for that place.

It's nice that I have a chance to though, and most of the people that come into the place are excited to see what happens with the place. We had a great show the other night where my friends came in from Tokyo and put on a great live set. VERY FUN.

Finally with some days off I got a little chance to unwind. It's so nice having all day off!!!!

I haven't really had a chance to explain on here...or to any of you that aren't living here how things are and what I've been up to and certain new plans I have. But I will...No really interesting pics to throw up at the moment because they're all still on my phone. Check my facebook for a funny vid of last night at the game center. My friend sho's a riot! Can't believe my best friend here is someone I only speak to in Japanese, pretty tight though. Some of the foreigners here are just too nerdy and anti-social...I can only go so far on the nerdy scale(that's a lie) but also with my schedule it's hard to link up.

Anyhow...later!

LISTEN TO THE NEW KANYE WEST!

quick wedding lovies

Congrats to my peeps Akina and Laurence

Lol

As I sit here, at my friends house after the vaults 7th anniversary(that's where I work now btw) boiling water to drink my hot sochuu with my friends who came in from Tokyo to play who are asleep already. I actually appreciate the job I have and realize being from las Vegas can help in some ways. 5:01 says my iPhone(which I'm typing this on) and one quick nightcap to finish off this crazy day. I'll be updating a little more, things have been pretty hectic and I've gathered up a lot of pics and videos on this thing since I've been back in japan. I can't believe it's been 5 weeks already... I also can't believe how well I can type on this little phone.

Went to my first Japanese style wedding today... Everyone would know this if their on twitter( thank goodness a couple people on here are with it)... Super fun but tying in work after was pretty hectic. Waters about to boil!?!???!? Jya ne

Doin work~!

Hopefully I'll remember to bring my camera tomorrow when we go to Hopi Falls. We go down to set prawn traps using coconut meat and then jump into some waterfalls that are running right from the top of the mountains by our house here. So much fun even can sit under one of the falls if you maneuver yourself just right. They have a water proof camera so I might try and take some snaps for on here.

The waterfall isn't too powerful either. It's a bit of a struggle to swim through it without it taking you under, but safe enough so you can let it take you and have it be fun. The jump into is nice too...about 15-20 feet. Have to rock climb sorta out too, good thing I've done a bit of that too. PICTURES WILL BE EPIC I promise.



First stop of the day @ Kelihiwai beach. The point was breaking hard. Found out Ben Stiller lives @ the top of the cliffs on the right there[NAME DROPPING]. My cousin Donovan said while he was surfing over off that point a shark swam through there!!!! It was packed full of like 40 people. Which is super dangerous, I for sure didn't go out there unfortunately. Just not good enough yet it's...that ain't no vacationer spot that's for sure.

Re-set the traps around the afternoon. And hit up this place called Donkey's afterward. Body surfing and got worked! Super strong waves out I would try and dive under and a couple times the wave almost scooped me up! ALMOST GOT CRUSHED!


BTW THIS THING IS THE BEST EVER!!!



INDOBOARD FTW! I bet OK_TEA will like that.

So fun I hope everyone had a good weekend!

Quick glimpse of around the house in Kauai

So far this place hasn't ceased to amaze me. The cousins are getting better @ surfing, the avacados taste better! And I'm not as sunburnt as I will be in a couple days lol. The orchard is looking a lot cleaner too!

Lilokoi!

coconut trees(of course!)

Nice vine!


There's a bunch of other stuff but was only in my bare feet so didn't want to get pricked!!! Full moon last night with a little bonfire at the beach was very nice. It was cool going into the orchard @ night too because it was really bright!! Look a rooster!



If you ever come here this is a super common site, went bodyboarding yesterday and while driving through a golf course to get to the spot we saw about 50 lol! Serious!

So stoked!

That I put out a post and got a response back! hahaha THanks mom! :P But whatevskiz I'm so stoked things are coming together it just want to buy a smart phone and twitter it!!!!!!!

WHAT IS EVERYONE GETTING ME FOR MY BIRTHDAY!!!!

...better hurry up and decide (@&!!!!!!!!!!!)))))))

:P

SEPTEMBER!

I'm stoked! It's even getting a little colder here right on que. Could see my breath when I went for a walk tonight...I can see the Milky Way it's so dark out here at night. The neighbors house behind us has an apple tree in the back and my mom said that she's seen deer eating them!! They just started to fruit so maybe I'll see some deer when I wake up.

Now that it's super foggy in the morning I think I'm going to go trail running when it's like that..I bet it would be a great experience....Maybe I'll bring a camera lol, it'll be like 'YES MAN'...'REDBULLLllll!'

Had so much fun with the kids @ the game and got our bobble head! I want to try and go to another game while I'm here...I feel a foul ball or even a BP homerun would be nice.



And wanted to tweet this sucker right after I took it, but I'm so lazy and really need a smart phone so I can just tweet my little heart out with ease. Everyone should get twitter.



It was funny I was looking at my mom's calendar she has at her shop. Right over the 19th it said 'Brian's 27th birthday'.....gnarly! So stoked I'm going back to Japan in October I didn't really plan anything for my b-day...hopefully I'll just get to see everyone before I go back out there.

I really think a little more time will be good for me out there. All my friends are doing great and I'm not really worried about anyone without me here. Going to miss the family but they'll be ok too. Thinking about possibilities in England for the holiday's too! Rather 'proper' I would think...might have a different feel. Lol it'd sure be a lot nicer than Japan during Christmas.


Things are coming together in J-land happenings. Just got my receipt for my ticket in the mail...it was shocking see actual proof of hopes and aspirations on a piece of paper...ONE MONTH AWAY. Still figuring out where I'm going to live...found a couple apartments to choose from but without really looking at them it's hard to decide. There's plenty of options when it comes to where to stay for a week or so if I decide to peep them out beforehand.

Most important though is picking what mountain I'm going to get my season pass @....

@ Misaka; closest...least amount of park
@ panorama; not as close, little bit of park, biggest resort
@ fuji-ten; best park, farthest, most crowded, maybe smallest resort. but on mt.fuji.

Working a lot on the weekends which is great...on that paper chase!!!!!!
