MUST RESURRECT BLOG!

Well guys, as most of you know, I'm leaving tomorrow for Europe. I'm trying to get everything packed and ready right now. Not gonna lie, I'm pretty nervous. But I'm also effing excited. I'll try to get a bunch of pics and post them up and maybe even a video or two.

Hey ya'll!

Just here to give you guys a little update. So tomorrow is the last day of summer school, but I've been not caring for the past 2 weeks. I'm pretty over it. 4 hours of Japanese a day make me go something something.... @.@

Anyway, we've been out drinking a lot. There's something called nomihodai and tabehodai, which are all you can drink and eat places. It costs about $20/2hours. But if you puke they normally charge you a $100 clean up fee haha. Now if I could just get a hold of some herb it'd make this experience that much better... ;]

So I just thought I'd share a random story with you to give you an idea of what we've been doing. We went out on Sunday night to an Izakaya(it's like a Japanese bar thing....) and got really smashed. One of the guys here is in a fraternity and busted out with the "Here's to brother Gene" drinking song... it was pretty horrible. Anyway we left drunk as all heck and walked a coupla miles to get back to school. One of the people that we were with didn't live there, but she's a regular student so she came with us to make sure we got back alright. I offered to walk her home(mind you I was pretty sloshed at this point)... and she said sure. Next thing I know I'm waking up in not my bed and there's a naked chick next to me. Haha I just ran out, caught the bus, and went straight to class hungover as heck. The people next to me said I reeked of booze... so the teacher sent me home lol. That was a pretty fun morning.

Anyway, break's comin up so I'm hoping to get in some quality Jiujitsu time and travel a bit. There's a tourny comin up, so I figure I should start taking this way more seriously - especially if I don't wanna get whipped on by some Japanese dudes.

Alright, I gotta take off. Hope you're all doing well! Catch you guys soon!

ps light one up for me PLEASE

currently eating: rice+tofu+tomato+beef

so i didn't end up doing that tournament because my back was not too good, but it's cool watching was pretty fun in itself. on the bright side i got my first student at learning rx, and our first session is tomorrow. her name is posey and she's in kindergarten. i'm a little nervous and feeling a little pressure because she is actually repeating kindergarten because she didn't do so well the first go around and so i guess it's up to me to raise her brain power haha. i hope i do well because i know that these parents don't mess around when it comes to their kids. so yeah, should be interesting.

And worse

Zesterdaz, we visited mz uncle Mui and uncle Bich. when we got there and spent time with them, it felt great to talk to uncles on mz momäs side I had never met. At about evening when we were having a bbq, Shawn called Tante Chau to ask her if he could staz another night there to spend time with our uncles. Mz tante chau and uncle herbert lost their shit. Thez told Shawn that if he spent another night there and ate in the morning with Uncle Bich, that when we came back, both of our suitcases would be packed and we wouldnät be welcome back at home. We were told never to come back to their house. I had told Tante Chau I would be there until Mondaz, but she took back her offer and told me the same thing. We were driven back to Tante Chauäs at night, and Shawn was told to talk to uncle Herbert about what happened, and whz he asked to staz another night. Mz aunt Chau and uncle Herbert hate Bich and Mui for reasons that I donät fullz understand zet, but thez told us that as guests of their house we were to respect their rules, and if we were to see them we would be banned from their house. Thez said thez would never consider us their nephews and would cease contact with us. Shawn started to talk to Herbert, and when it heated into an argument, Herbert and Chau told us to pack our shit and get out of the house. So shitäs verz bad. verz crayz. and I come back Thursdaz to California. If I gave zou that house number to call, donät call it for now, and Iäll explain everzthing when I get back home. Peas zou guzs

Worse News

I had a long talk with mz aunt and uncle last night, who talked to mz dad. She called him the other night, and he told her about a shitstorm of things that he had never told me. Mz parents are in deep financial problems, and itäs getting worse and worse because of the states´recession. Iäm taking a flight back next Thursdaz, and when I land I need to get shit settled so I can help mz parents out. Iäm going to go about declaring independence so I can get a hold of a better loan or hopefullz some financial aide. I think Iäve managed to hold a job temporarilz; a friend in mz fraternitz has offered a job to do packaging stuff at $11 an hour for 6 hours a daz. It was a shittz night last night sitting down with them, and it was an even shittier morning this morning talking to mz parents. I feel embarassed to saz it, but iäm reallz nervous, and iäm scared for mz familz and mzself. The onlz thing I can do though is not waste time bitching about it, and get back to get mz shit straight. Man life explodes unexpectedlz. Iäll be back hopefullz Thursdaz Aug 14th. Itäll be good to see zou guzs, those who are in the area. Peas for now.

Hamburg

Iäm in Hamburg, and Iäm staying at a family friendäs house with my cousin shawn who has just come to visit. We sleep in a small house in the backyard, and the dad is a military man, so he let us RAISE THE AMERICAN FLAG ON A FLAGPOLE OUTSIDE OUR LITTLE HOUSE. Shawn and I have a little embassy here, and it was tight raising an american flag in the middle of Germany, or in the north for the matter, hahaha. Iäm having a great time this weekend getting to know my cousin; this is the third time iäve ever seen him. Heäs 19 and goes to MIT. Iäll write more when we come back home, but we did have a big karaoke competition here and I beat the shit out of my drunk ass uncle, we sang Take on Me. and numerous other funny songs. The family weäre staying with here is awesome, and theyäre very good friends with my own parents when they were here. Before we left here, I had the most miserable two days working in the garden. I removed 40 x 85 cubic cm of dirt one day, and then the next day i mixed over 30 bags of concrete, which added up to about 5,000 lbs of concrete, literally. My hands feel like sandpaper and creaky bones. I worked over 10 hours each of those days, but it was worth it because this trip has been one of the most fun; itäs mostly because I have somebody to speak English too, and heäs also my cousin. There were two HUGE traffic accidents on the autobahn that made them shut off all lanes, so I got to get out of the car and run up and down the German freeways hahaha. Shawn took a picture so Iäll try to get that up soon. My camera is shite broken right now; the lens wonät focus for some reason :( funk. on top of that, shawn and I woke up this morning and had to run 5 miles with Christian (family friend, dad) and Uncle Herbert. Now my tendonitis is really bad in my left ankle and behind my right knee. i walk like an idiot. i been using shawnäs shoulder as a good brace hah. peas you guys. keep the fucking fire.
