A few bits of christmas randomness...

I know this has thurday's date on it...but it is in fact still wednesday and I am in NY, not Japan...it is not even 1pm here yet...

You know it's bad when Mexico bans US Beef Imports....shit man, you can't even drink water in mexico and they have the nerve to ban our meat cuz of one "Mad" cow.

I miss Miho and cannot wat till I get back to Japan to see her...

I better get nice presents for christmas...If they are all from Aeropostale like last year I will scream..I have not shopped there in years...

Flashback: Christmas 2002...the biggest blizzard in decades. Bitter cold, driving wind, pounding snow, and my father driving me down to New Jersey to stay overnight with my cousin Rob so I can goto Japan with him the next day. So anyway, we piled into my father's Ford Explorer armed with a cantine of hot chocolate and a pound of my mother's christmas cookies....they always hit the spot. We take 2 hours to go on a 45 minute drive and the explorer cuts right through the blizzard like sally struthers demolishes a buffet table. It was nice. Watching other cars spin helplessly off the road well we made our journey steadfastly through the first white christmas we had since I was a wee little child and my family still lived in Washingtonville.

Present: It is raining here like a typhoon back in Japan...almost 60 degrees, and really rainy and windy out...how lame. There is about 3 inches of snow on the grass now that is steadily turning to slush, then water. It will be gone by the time christmas morning arrives...we should goto the mall and take the huge mountains of plowed snow, chop them back into normal snow, and distribute them back to our neighborhood so we can have 2 white christmases in a row...

I spent monday night at my cousin rob's apt in fort lee, new jersey. I had to take the A train from times square to the george washington bridge bus station to catch a bus to jersey...I hate that train. I hate that bus stop. yes it is convenient to pay onl a dollar, and take a 5 minute bus ride and get off at the first stop and walk 5 minutes more to rob's apt...but the train goes through some ghetto areas. Needless to say this cracker was on edge the whole time.

An old friend of mine who I haven't talked to for a while had this in her buddy info so I thought I would copy it and do my own...y'all will learn about me from reading this below...
