Reality Setting In, Lap Pillows, and Why Vince McMahon is My Hero Right Now...

It has been a little over a week since my return to the frozen tundra of NY. Man, is it fucking cold here or what?!? I did not miss this. Moving on, I am in NY to achieve one goal. That being my return to Japan, and my beautiful Miho with whom I plan to spend the rest of my life with. It is painful for me to not wake up next to her or see her at night after a long day. To not smell her delicious cooking or her sweet "garlicky" breath. (inside joke).

I love her so much that I am willing to do this without thinking twice. I have my Everest to climb and right now am still at base camp. My family thinks I am stupid. I was talking to my Aunt Krisi this morning for the first time since I returned and she said "Welcome home." I said "this isn't home, Japan is." She said "no it's not." I replied "it's not home without Miho here with me." Her reply was to scold me for "failing to make it my home." If she knew anything about which she spoke she would be knawing on her foot right now. I did not fail at all. Circumstance dictated my return home. I do not have my tail between my legs like I did when the Sox beat the Yanks. I am not downtrodden. Just depressed because I can't see my girlfriend.

I have submitted all my paperwork to SUNY Orange and am waiting for my father to get his PIN from the Dept. of Education so I can file my FAFSA. ANY DAY NOW!!! I will work my ass off this time around because there is a fundamental difference between my frist go at college, where I majored in alcoholism and pledging to a fraternity, and this time, where my goal is to show Miho how much I want her to remain in my life. In doing so that will allow her to show her parents and her smug sister and her husband how wrong they have been about me. I will not give up, I will win the fight of my life. Without Miho my life has no direction. She is my guiding light through the foggy, murky waters.

As far as work is concerned I have no job yet. It is kind of hard to obtain one when your past two years of work history is 6,000 miles away. Will probably end up working with my brother at Mountain Creek Ski Resort. I miss skiing. I can hit the slopes for an hour or two everyday after work. How great is that? Sign me up!

On a lighter side of things I noticed something weeks ago in Japan that I did not bother to post on here because of how typical I thought it was of Japan. The rest of the world thinks it is insane. Since it has finally reached the soccer moms of the US and they have had the typical horrified reaction I thought "Ahh what the hell? Why not?"

"The Japanese Lap Pillow for Lonely Men"



I think this is an absolute god damn riot. Japanese men are among the loneliest in the world. They work such long hours and have such little time to themselves that they often end up old and alone. Much like their female counterparts at work. This is supposed to be a quick fix to that. Along with hostess bars, strip clubs, massage parlors, rape fantasy porno, and hentai anime. Not to mention the time honored tradition of being a "chikan"

The article to which I have linked from here is written by an obvious closet conservative. He is afraid to come out in the open and just say "I am right wing, I watch Fox News Channel, Michael Savage is my hero!!" Christ I cannot believe what has happened to this country since I left.

The conservatives are in control. The FCC is outta control, and jerk offs like Limbaugh and Savage actually have a place at dinner time conversations. Am I in the Twilight Zone?? Don't get me wrong, Michael Moore is a fat fuckin idiot. I find him entertaining, but he is a jerkoff as well. I think he is entertaining in a "We're laughing at you fatty mc fat fat, not with you." He has done some great things, but his personal vendetta against Bush is uncalled for.

Bush is a good president. Period, end.

Vince McMahon is the fucking man!! I was watching Spike TV last night because they had back to back episodes of CSI on and I was on the phone when Monday Night Raw came on. Only this one was interesting. It started with a hott white female wrestler in the locker room with a black male wrestler. In the next 5 minutes they completely re-enacted the MNF intro from a few weeks ago, only this had a twist to it. Vince McMahon came storming into the locker room right as she was about to disrobe and went off on a rant that included some of the following remarks " This is unconscionable," McMahon said. "This is scandalous. I can see the moral fabric of America disintegrating right before my very eyes. The sexual overtones, the racial overtones... I'm sorry, the FCC is not going to tolerate this, and neither will I," McMahon said. "I'm not going to have a locker room of deviants. This is the WWE, this is not the NFL and it damn sure is not the NBA. This is the kind of sexual titillation that would send you up into the stands and attack the audience." (NY Daily News)

Then as soon as the wrestler left McMahon said "Is he gone? Did he buy it?" Then she drops her rob and he stares at her giant boobs screaming "yeessss!!!!" and she jumps in his arms. It was great. Vince 1 - Michael Powell 0...I don't normally care at all about wrestling but that was great. Someone had to do it. Doing it on Monday night was a stroke of genious. Right up against a really weak opening to MNF.

Red states, Blue states my ass. We're all American.
