A Fan is Born


Hectic night once in from teaching in Numazu...
Wife and oldest boy were battling over some difficult kanji homework so I'm holding the girly baby child till WHOAA! Big runny bazooka poop blasting out of the diaper onto her clothes then sheets it's everywhere!  So I'm running around like a chicken with its head cut off up stairs down stairs change baby wash baby change sheets wash futon pad all to the sound of a complaining 3rd grader and patience losing mama and...

Well the middle boy child disappeared somewhere during all the commotion right, so I go looking for him once things quiet down only to find him camped out in the daddy-land lair with earbuds in, volume cranked and eyes wide completely transfixed by the Green Day American Idiot concert video that he inadvertently clicked on in my iTunes library.  
And so a Green Day fan is born...
Rock on my boy.
Rock on! 

About Me

My photo
In late summer 1998 I moved from the place I grew up and spent most of my life (Central California) to a small town in Japan. I loved training in Shotkan and dreamt of training in Japan someday, I just didn't know someday would arrive when it did. I signed a one year English teaching contract, missed California life quite a bit but decided okay one more year then that's it. A few months into that second year contract I met a girl. You can probably guess the rest. The plan was return to California eventually but here I am still--still with that girl and now three awesome getting bigger every day kids to boot. Sometimes we pick the journey. Sometimes life does. I still enjoy doing martial arts. Still learning how to dad. Got a house, learned the word expat, etc. Oh yeah, and I love to write. Not that I know anything more about it than what I haven't forgotten that English teachers taught me. More that I find joy in doing it. Write for who or about what? The greatest American poet sums it up best: "One world is aware, and by the far the largest to me, and that is myself".
