10 ways NOT to go loco in Yokohama, but I say… | Loco in Yokohama
https://goinglocoinyokohama.wordpress.com/2008/11/29/10-ways-not-to-go-loco-in-yokohama-but-i-say
An empty seat on a crowded train. Welcome to Loco in Yokohama. Sou desu yo ne (That’s so, isn’t it). 10 ways NOT to go loco in Yokohama, but I say…. Categories: gaijin in Japan. 8230;why the hell not? I feel very fortunate that I. I might have remained the same person I was when I arrived here. Not that that would have been so bad, but…well, yeah, it would have been unfortunate, actually. There’s something about the very nature of life in Japan that inspires an epiphany. First, I saw myself through stage...
Up the creek without a platypus: On Fakes, Faking and Toast
http://upthecreeek.blogspot.com/2007/10/on-fakes-faking-and-toast.html
Up the creek without a platypus. Wednesday, October 03, 2007. On Fakes, Faking and Toast. Who can spot a fake? But, I can. And, maybe you can too. I can spot a fake smile, a fake nod of approval, a fake boob job, a fake prosthetic limb (in the nude), a fake offer to help excavate dog doo from my shoe sole, a fake claim of rational non-fallacy, and a fake Virgin Mary outline on a piece of toast, given the right lighting conditions. After all, this is the age of faking… we have to be prepared. About The Vi...
Up the creek without a platypus: January 2005

Up the creek without a platypus. Saturday, January 29, 2005. NOW, of course, I know that the Coriolis Effect (though powerful enough to influence weather patterns and thought-experimental-long-distance-flying cannonball performers) cannot shake hands with something so small as my bathroom sink. (here's some fun reading on that:. 8220;Sweet home A la. A where the skies are. Can anyone in the southern hemisphere back me up? Friday, January 28, 2005.

Simplicity in Kyudo – Green Leaves Forest
https://gaijinexplorer.wordpress.com/2015/07/30/simplicity-in-kyudo
July 30, 2015. The closer we can get to 1 the better. And yet we live within 10,000. How does this relate to kyudo and the practice of shooting a bow and arrow? There are two ways we can go about this:. Technically, and mentally. So we start with a couple techniques to focus on. In the beginning, it may just be learning to move through the. So now we have two things, and I think that’s OK, just hard. But that’s kyudo, it’s not so easy. Grip I can do that, that is enough for now, and I think that is good&...
Taiko Tari Online: Day 1 - Blue Start and Sparkling Finish
http://taiko-tari.blogspot.com/2007/08/day-1-blue-start-and-sparkling-finish.html
Life is so full of surprises. You pick a path when you get up in the morning, much to your astonishments, some things can go extremely 180 degrees from what you plan it to be. I'd like to share with you the bizarre incidents or stories in my life. Wednesday, August 22, 2007. Day 1 - Blue Start and Sparkling Finish. We made it to Ogi at 9:10 am. After parking the car I ran to collect my ticket and ran again to the shrine to exchange it with the color-coded entry ticket. Deeply disappointed for get...Next ...
blaine not brain: June 2013

Who is Blaine Not Brain? Sunday, June 23, 2013. Memories of Golden Week. The walk up to the shrine itself is great. I love the tall trees. The shrine itself was completely underwhelming. The bamboo and soba flavored ice cream I ate after that was great. For some reason those flavors had an earthiness that plucked the green ivy growing around my heart. The next morning we visited a flower festival. Now on to the backlog of things and places that have been patiently waiting for a voice. These roofs abound ...
Keep it Cool, Not 100% – Green Leaves Forest
https://gaijinexplorer.wordpress.com/2015/06/23/keep-it-cool-not-100
Middot; Hikiwake - Drawing the Bow. Middot; Image Training. Keep it Cool, Not 100%. June 23, 2015. January 19, 2016. Huge progress at practice today. I may have found the single cause to a lot of problems I’ve had with my shooting lately. Basically …. I’ve been pulling to hard. In the full draw I’m maxed out at 100%, so when it comes time for the release I have nowhere to go but. Nope, that’s not it. 91 … 92 … 93 … 94 … 95 … 96 … 97 … 98 … 99 …. With this, the release is smooth and extending. As for my r...

Middot; Image Training. September 1, 2016. September 1, 2016. I eat the fear. Like stalks of cedar, my legs plant into this earth and my eyes see.

Reinventing Your Art – Green Leaves Forest
https://gaijinexplorer.wordpress.com/2015/06/18/reinventing-your-art
June 18, 2015. January 19, 2016. For me, reinventing my kyudo is a necessity. It’s not just an ideal, or just for fun, the life of my kyudo depends on it. If I go to the dojo everyday with the same thoughts, the same images, the same goals, then my art will fall behind. Our art changes with every thought, and so should our practice. Yesterday’s weather doesn’t continue today. Stuck in the same routine, my practice weights me down. It becomes just a practice, not an art. Shooting the bow, that is. Clean s...
Kyudo – Green Leaves Forest
https://gaijinexplorer.wordpress.com/kyudo
Picture found at http:/ www.archerychch.co.nz/Kyudo.html. Kyudo: the way of traditional Japanese archery. Simply put, it is the action of using a bow to shoot an arrow at a target. And yet at another glance, there is much much more. More accurately spelled “kyuudou”. Is a particular style of archery in which shooting an arrow to hit a physical target is just a part. 8220;What else is there? 8220;For what other reason would one shoot an arrow? What of the deeper mental and spiritual aspects? Denotes a fam...

Couldn't tell you now what we were talking about exactly. I do remember saying to him,. I don't know, I like working in a multi-cultural place.". For some reason I always remember him turning to me as we. Walked and asking,. What college did you go to? I look at him quizzically,. What do ya mean? Brass tacks now I guess, eh? Believe it...

Thursday, November 20, 2008. Almost 4 months have passed since I left NOLA. Now I am left with the daunting concept of neatly summarizing the subtle yet profound ways that I have changed.

Notes from the Ninth Circle
Notes from the Ninth Circle. Essays, commentary, videos, information about political events, freethought, social democracy, history, and anything else I feel like writing about. Poems too, and a few short stories. The real Barack Obama. The date was 27 March 2009. According to Ron Suskind’s insider account, Confidence Men. This is what he told them:. With that statement, POTUS 44 showed his true colors, who he really came to office to work for. There would be no hope and no change, just more of the same.

Today, we had the privilege of gathering together as we celebrated the life of a little gift God placed into our lives. Today, we cried, held one another, remenised about our Beautiful Carol(e), and rejoiced that she is experiencing no more pain. And even how some little ones have put it, “I think she is up in heaven singing, dancing, playing the guitar…”. February 27, 2015.
