This post has nothing to do with my feelings. I just recently got addicted to this song again after… 17 years? The instrumental has been on repeat while I’ve been trying to get some rush work done for Inweb. So good!
Is it my turn to wish you were lying here;
I tend to dream you when I’m not sleeping.
Is it my turn to fictionalize my world;
Or even imagine your emotions – Tell myself anything.
Is it my turn to hold you by your hands;
Tell you I love you and you not hear me.
Is it my turn to totally understand;
To watch you walk out of my life and not do a damn thing…
If I have to give away;
The feeling that I feel.
If I have to sacrifice;
Whatever, babe, whatever baby.
If I have to take apart;
All that I am.
Is there anything that I would not do;
‘Cause inside I’d die without you…
I apologize for all the things I’ve done;
But now I’m underwater and I’m drowning.
Is it my turn to be the one to cry;
Isn’t it amazing how some things just completely turn around.
So take every little piece of my heart;
Take every little piece of my soul;
Take every little bitty piece of my mind;
‘Cause if you’re gone… inside…
I’d die without you…

So what have I been doing all this time, you may or most probably not have asked?
Monday I saw Wyn and Steph. Tuesday I saw EMEM, LisaGu, Seems and then Kristen and today I saw Sandra. I feel like Lou Bega! Actually, I hate that guy. Oh, I should also add Inga on Sunday ;)
I was invited to Marcus’s parent’s house on Sunday for tasty dinner and chat. It would make sense that an awesome person would have awesome parents. When I have a kid, I’m sending them to Inga’s and Armas’s care for the first 2 years so they can grow up as good as Marcus.
I’ve barely been at home this week so far (except that day I worked from home) as I’ve been spending my time hanging out with old friends. This explains why I still have more pictures from my Japan trip to upload to Facebook.
I also realized that FB resizes your pictures to a width of 604px. What the heck is that all about? Anyway, my batch of uploads will be sized to that width before I start the upload next time. Let’s see how the quality changes then!
What have I done from the list in my last post? Nothing. I haven’t played any games, cleaned, barely drank water (I should get some now…), sleeping at normal times, watching shows, reading comics… I don’t know what’s up. What I did do was go to my first capoeira lesson after five or six years last Saturday. I think I might do Monday’s too with Wynnie.
Fit Farhan: coming soon.

Hello!
I’m back from Japan and sad. It is cold, there is snow on the ground, I am jet lagged… not fun.
Speaking of fun, I just wanted to make a list of things that I am doing. I need to figure out which of these things I should focus on at the moment. So here goes:
- • Playing Doom. Yes, the first one. I’m using this for mouse/kb
- • Playing Dragon Warrior (Dragon Quest in Japan). Yes, the first one! I’m being bad and using a NES emulator on my PSP. I just want to see where all the hype stems from.
- • Cleaning up. It is very messy after packing/unpacking.
- • Drinking water. Well I can multi-task this one…
- • Trying to stay awake. I failed yesterday and slept from 3:45pm to 10pm
- &bull Watching Japanese TV via KeyHoleTV 3.14
- • Watching Dollhouse on NinjaVideo.net
- • Reading Blackest Night. It is pretty badass. Read the lead up to it first if you don’t know much about Green Lantern.
- • Getting pictures of my trip ready for the site and Facebook.
- • Scanning those writey-drawey pages from when Zoo & Vix were here. Sorry for taking so long :(
- • Organizing “Pick-up Thread” pics for NeoGAF
- • Checkin’ Facebook. I started logging into FB again after a 55 month hiatus. I guess I should install that FB app on my Android phone.
- • Groceries. There is nothing to eat in this house.
- • Making MP3 CDs for my car. I’ve had the same CDs for years. 2010 it is time for some new (meaning: older) shit.
- • Filling out my GST forms. I hate form filling.
- • Payin’ bills that piled up during the trip.
- • Did I mention cleaning up? This place is a nasty mess…
Am I forgetting anything?

Thank you for all the bday wishes via email and Facebook. I’m older but I feel younger.
To commemorate living passed 30 years, I bought myself a nice watch. And since I am in Japan it is a Japanese watch: Seiko. It is one of only 300 ever made and I think it looks cool! I’ll post a pic later.
Today is my last day in the land of the rising fun. I’m going to head out to Akihabara for the last time, possibly ever, and grab a few last minute things and gifts. Then after dinner tonight I will pack for the long flight home. I hear there is enhanced security because of some bomb scare? What the hell is that all about?
Anyway, hopefully my next post will be from home and not from a random airport between here and there. *crosses fingers*

Yeah, so I landed in Tokyo on the 19th. My luggage, however, landed on the 21st. Since Japan Air Lines doesn’t go direct to Toronto, I had to take Air Canada to Vancouver first. AC screwed something up with my bags and JAL got to the bottom of it for me.
Speaking of bottoms… when I checked my luggage, I found my stuff was tossed around on the inside. The expensive stuff was all there but one of my boxers was missing… I’m in Japan!
Anyway, the five hour Air Canada flight was the most boring flight ever. I didn’t sleep at all the night before so I had already been awake for 24hours when I boarded the flight. I thought I would get some sleep on the plane but it was so uncomfy with no room to move. I tried getting out my laptop to watch a show I pre-downloaded for the flights but it was too big for the room I had!
What made it worse was that I was in the middle seat with two very un-fun women on either side of me. I was so tired that I didn’t even want to play my PSP or do some sudoku puzzles or anything! All I could do was eat my Twizzlers.
As soon as I landed in Vancouver, I felt better and relaxed. I couldn’t connect my laptop to the network but my 3G Android phone worked fine. The flight was delayed but I took that time to stretch and enjoy the space. When I got on the plane, I got an isle seat with nobody in the middle and some Japanese school girl at the window. I had room to stretch so I was happy… until I realized that there were no plugs for my laptop :(
So I was eating my Twizzlers on this nine hour flight and I still couldn’t sleep. I did some sudoku, ate some great food that they gave us, played some of their in-flight entertainment… and ate Twizzlers.
I think by the time I landed in Tokyo, I gained the 15lbs that I lost before the flight :(
Anyways, I don’t care! I’m in Japan, with our without my luggage but with my brother, Marcus, and new sister-in-law, Tomoko! And I’m freezing my butt off! Whatever, it is worth it! The weather is actually pretty nice out side when the sun is out. And the fact that it isn’t too windy is pretty great.
I have this Japanese-style room in M&T’s house which is pretty sweet. All that is missing is one of those table things with the blankets built in hehe. I don’t know what those are called…
Anyway, I’ll write more later!
