In this picture there is one center
In that one center there is paper
It has been resting for days
Even now it rests
For no one will come to take it
Put it in its proper place
if there is such a place for a paper of its kind
bearing news of this void
this void that within
within this void it was born
born from the one who put it there one night
in the form of an aerial machine
late into the night this one rode
rode on his lonely bike
this lonely night
flew the paper to rest
to rest among the grass
no one else to suspect
what transpired that night

100 yen sunglasses in Spring. |
With that out of the way, let’s move on to the less metaphorical stuff.

Here are a bunch of CD’s I’ve bought. |
I found a cool store that sells eurobeat for 900 yen,
compared to the 3,000 yen at most stores.
That’s about $9 compared to $30...

Yes my hair. |
It can give me so many different looks.
One of which is a very lamesterish tone...

Me posing. Don’t ask why. |
My host family’s kid likes to make me pose for pictures.
He also likes it when I wear sunglasses...
No I don’t understand.

Yet again my hair. |
This time a side view.

Little Shorty. |
The most damn coolest lamester on the planet.

This is a big picture. |
I’ve been collecting stickers and putting them on my laptop (a.k.a. Ultimo Jr.),
since someone told me to, way back before I came here.
So I have been.
Print Club (“Purikura”) pictures are on it...
Print Club is those pictures where you see me mackin’ it with
Japanese girls that I don’t even know their names.
Heh.

Hair picture. |
Another thing that’s great about my hair right now is
that not only will it give me the most badass looking mohawk when I come back,
it can also make me look flamboyantly lame.

UnfamiliarDude and Mr. Slick. |
Mr. Slick is one of the most bizarre human beings I have come across.
We get along very well.

At Little Shorty’s “Happiokai”. |
It’s basically...
a big event where the kindergarteners perform in plays and
play music and many other things.
In this picture, the parents were singing a song.
My host father is in it, too.

Again the Happiokai. |
“My Grandfather’s Clock” is a very popular song here...

Speaking of grandfathers... |
Here are my Japanese host grandparents.

I was very happy when I saw this sign. |
Yes.
Very happy.
In many ways...
heh... heh...

A South Korean exchange student came to stay with us for three days a while back. |
It was really fun.
I felt a lot more like part of the family when she was around.
Because for a while I was not “the guest”.

Her Japanese was almost at the same level as me at that time. |
It was her first time in Japan and she was saying things in Japanese
that I had just learned after months of living here.
The American Japanese language learning system sucks big time.
Nevertheless, it was fun having her around.
I wasn’t so lonely.

Little Shorty is going to be a first grader in elementary school really soon. |

A shirt I went crazy looking for. |
I eventually managed to get ahold of it when
I asked the store clerks about it and they told me the only one left was
the one on the mannequin and so they asked if I wanted that one
and I said ok and bought it for my friend named J.
As you can see, my creative powers have been exhausted.
It is nearly 1 am and my neck is killing me. So thus, here ends my little picture show.

I think I deserve to be allowed to not end this one with something creative.
So suck it.
I need a massage.
...And now I just finished reconverting just about everything in the
Features section.
It’s midnight.
I’m tired.
I still need that massage.
