FYA – It must be love

Today is a sad day for ECC and the students of Nick Claridge. Nick Claridge was a great guy that I had the privilege of observing while I was still in training. I noticed the rapport Nick had with his students and even though I didn’t spend a lot of time with Nick, I knew immediately that Nick was a great guy. Nick died April 21 at the age of 41 from complications resulting from his illness. God bless you Nick.

I never was really into karaoke but dayum, the Japanese are effing KRAZY, yes that’s right, Krazy with a ‘K’. Here are three videos which doesn’t even capture the hilarious things going on. Too bad, Jesse and I had to leave to catch the last train home.


Don’t ask!!





Checkout the dude in the afro! ahaha





And as my friend Allison M. noticed… Yes, they are all wearing suits! It was after work. Ahahah. =P





Two of the videos are of the Japanese staff singing to that DJ Ozma song that I blogged about earlier. So after all is said and done, I officially like karaoke. When Allison M. and her gal pals get here, I had my songs I want to sing. Hehe. Its gonna be hella fun! Yeah! I.love.Japan. Laterz

Why breaking up is hard to do





Clips about Christianity

Vuenos, Vuenos, Vuenos. Masa was DJing again so my friend Tony and I went to check out Masa’s set. Dancing, drinking and the sorts. I am getting better at breaking the Japanese code, last night the women were hotter than usual. I met this half white and half Japanese girl named Yuka. she was a knockout. Got the digits and gave her mine. I love Japanese phones because certain phones have this rf transmitter on the back and all you have to do is touch the backs of the phones together to exchange your profile information. It is soooo cool. Why don’t we think of such things in the States? Also Tony and I met up with another friend Christine. Christine is a cool chick, definitely a lot of fun and she is a stand up girl. We were both smashed out of our dayum minds and she made sure I was okay. Thanks Christine! Now the real reason, I am blogging about this night is not because of the ladies but what happened to me after I headed for home. Hahahahaa, I threw up 4 times before I got home. And the hilarious part was that I threw up 2 times on the train. OMG, it was classic. The Japanese are so polite and try not to make others feel uncomfortable so when I threw up the first time, even though I knew they were thinking “oh no, not now and not here”, no one moved from their seats. If it were me, I’d be like “Fuck this! I’m moving!” ahahaha. The funniest part was that I moved from the train car that I threw up in to move to another, I thought I was going to be fine but lo and behold, round 2. Once again the same result, no one moved. I probably stunk up the whole train! Ahahaha. I moved a third time and was good. You may be asking yourself, why didn’t get off the train and go to the bathroom? Well, I unfortunately was on a Limited Rapid train from Shinagawa to Yokohama and that’s a 30 minute ride. I would have done my business between the train cars but in Japan the trains are all connected. I really and truly feel bad for whom ever has to clean up train vomit. Every weekend, the trains are filled with the stench of vomit and alcohol. I.love.Japan laterz.
