Eagle landed has

Thank God I'm here I got in to my boys house at little after 1 am Japanese time.

Just to note I've never been to China but the scrutiny I got at Beijing on a transfer was enough to put me on for a second.
I am waving the race card. me and my british passport were checked and checked again. (twice).

Anyhow I'm here. I have the most JJC suitcase in the world and I am not using it again forever, I hope.

Today is such an important day , because it is the royal wedding JOKES, couldn't care too much seeing as I left the continent.
Kyoto has a salsa following and they have a little salsa congress starting today so I will attend the opening party :D

now let me wash the smell of travel off my skin, with my african (fish net) sponge

Today has come

It's half an hour till I leave my family home, lord willing the next time i step through the doors of what has come to be my sanctuary by the river will be sometime in July. I am off to Japan for the third time in just over a year because I obviously love it. I will try and track my progress on this very blog and I will be taking millions and millions of pictures so I need to set up a little site for that.
I want to come back with great linguistic skills of the japanese kind, and a greater appreciation of life and hopefully the confidence to stick 4 fingers up at my current employer ( that is 2 on each hand) and find what I'm looking for. (shrugs) I knpw who I am so I don't really need to find myself but I need to find a direction.

Besides missing my friends ,family and my Loved one. I am really really excited.

I always used to cry at the airport when I was younger so will try and not repeat my childish like ways, but i am genuinely sad to say goodbye.

Lord keep me safe, and look after all those I leave behind especially my mum, my junior brothers and my sweet Melody

がんばりますよ。

Fail Blog

Today is fail blog day, i didn't post within a week of my last post as I promised myself hence the title fail blog. FAIL BLOG , I failed to BLOG lol

Anyway today is my brothers Birthday Mr 9 year old today. I got him a customised Sonic the hedgehog tracksuit courtesy of http://www.km-toilet.co.uk/t/tmain.html
Check her out, he loves it and is probably wearing it at school now, showing of to his friends.We all do it when we get a new thing be it shoes, car oe even partner lol

Anyway this week is the week of changes I'm not going into depth but for one I applied for time off from work and am now awaiting a decision which will just determine whether I am employed or not come autumn this year.Biggest critics my mum and dad no about my plans so that was my only concern,

Kizomba classes have been going well the friends I have coming down seem to enjoy it and I'm glad I've been able to share it with them . I have enough moves to remain original for about a 1/3rd of a song but I think my enthusiasm gets me through the rest of the song. I'm glad that there is an activity that me and my Mrs can do together and to be honest there is only one person I want to dance "Too close" withanyway so it's all good. That is an inside joke.If you want to understand then get your BUm down to KIZOMBA at the Abbey on mondays lol. I'm broadcasting it like it's a public blog but one day it may just be and anyone who looks through the archives can come.


Next two months are limbo for me and I think this year hings will change drammatically or just progress positively but I put it in Gods hands and pray that I'm guided in the right direction. I'm really looking for my place in this world of ours.

Till next week maybe baby, don't be lazy.

にせんじゅいちねんです - It's 2011

Every blog I write begins with me apologising about the time gap between the previous blog, but not this one. I'm through apologising you know what I'm like already

I don't know why I don't blog often as I do I like it, it is very therapeutic. I am a guy who makes a lot of noise but I don't say much I discuss facts but not feelings. so I should blog more often.It just occured to me that maybe I am scared of what I may bring forth in this cyber substitute for a psychiatrists chair.I may one day publicise this blog and my weaknesses may be unconvered. What if I become a superhero as planned then my enemies would have a vast array of psychological ammunition to terrorise me with.This is serious business.

Anyway since my last post, I have been to Japan again I went from the mid-end of Novemebr for Kouyou season and had a good good good time. The only problem is I don't think I've returned properly. Oh yeah I got on the flight home ,Oh i remember that, but I feel as if there is a part of me chilling by the river in Kyoto speaking some really good bad japanese with the locals.Honestly though most days I feel like Im in a dream living outside of my body except for when I'm with my Mrs and family and some friends. Maybe these are the sign of a man missing something.

I'm sure when i go to Dominica I will cheer right up. Yeah DOMINICA

MAN UP!! :(

SOmething new KIZOMBA- aye i feel that dance, I had my first lesson in London taught by a Brazilian who fell in love with the African dance when she moved to Portugal (so sweet). It is such a nice dance, especially because the music is quite good. If you don't know about Kizomba check it out. I am an official Afro Latino dancer and I aim to up my Kizomba game over the next few months.

anyway don't put off tomorrow what you can do today-so im booking two tickets to Japan as we speak one way ( I wish)

Let us see if he can blog next week aye! In fact I WILLLLLLL

iCYCLE

SO I bought a Bi-cycle- and chose this week as the week i'd start my commute to work on this bipedular contraption, I think it's a good move it's cheaper than the tube and a lot healthier,(unless you get hit by a bus of course).

The only inconvenient thing is the changing your clothes and having a shower- which i have to do, I sweat for fun sometimes, so I'm not going to risk any cycle related smelly time for anybody.

When I work in Graphics, i wanna use my bike alot and now that I have a a bike I think I may upgrade to a Motorcycle but no time soon. "It just seems like that would be so much fun" , he says while making motorbike noises.

Ih and a good friend of mine introduced me to Lynda, I will be spending some good times with Lynda soon enough, Lynda is a online learning tool especially for the creative www.lynda.com. So good

today was wasted time

Afternoon,

I am aware that I will live for a finite amount of years , months , weeks days seconds nanoseconds and so on. I'm sure you get my point.

I don't know what percentage of my life I am spending in this office today, BUT I can assure you this percentage of my life is being wasted as i type, even when I have work to do I believe it's time badly spent but today . the day that I had nothing of substance to do seems Ike the biggest waste of all.

I can't demand my time back, time is money so why am i spending it here in this grey building , made of concrete resembling some eastern bloc military building.

i wish i was brave enough to hand in that P45 and do something remotely enjoyable for a day job, for a living, to live to be alive. (sigh)

Lord give me strength and direction,

Complain and do nothing about it , that is what a lot of people do, why am I the same?

le trop long voyage

I just travelled from london to Cavaillon(sud de France) by train, at the moment I've been shipped off to France n a weekly basis to make some millionaires more money. The train journey was meant to be oh so relaxing but this was far from the truth. The Eurostar leg of the journey was real good, smooth professional and on time, very Japanese- My connecting train was 1.5 hours later- that wait is the same period of time that my normal plane journey is.

And in regards to the connecting train, I ended up being on the wrong and the right train at exactly the same time. My broken Franglais helped me understand that the train was going to split at Lyon so i had to do an unnecessary mad dash.

Everything was late- I was late to pick up my car. (which is nice btw- I drank like 2 litres of litre and lost it due to stress sweat :D

only real good thing is that I got to do 3 lessons of Kanji- I'll be done by the end of the week.

this was a tired rant- call me and i'll shout at you- if im not still tired
