Merry Christmas!

I'd like to wish everyone and their family a Merry Merry Christmas!

Today, was a day of thought.
Sit back and relax.
Somehow, I found the need to constantly edit this posting.

それだけ?

That was quite painless.

Sorry to have kept you waiting / お待たせいたしました

ごめんね

Quite sad actually because it's not like I didn't have time to update this blog. Perhaps you could call it laziness or unmotivated but, I prefer to use the word "fatigue". Of course, this does not give me an excuse for the lack of updates this journal (of sorts) has seen. Strangely enough, I feel that I somewhat need these gaps in updates in order to conjure up a post with depth but, like I said earlier "no excuses". I also feel somewhat mad at myself for not posting the 1 year anniversary of this blog (obviously this was something of great importance.sarcasm) but, just in case you wanted to know my first post was on the 17th of November 2008. The only thing I can feel good about blaming for the delay is Modern Warfare 2. It's great stuff (in my opinion) but, if you happen to be a girl who is pissed off because your BF is addicted, I only have one piece of advice: "don't hate the player, hate the game".

So here I am, sitting at this same coffee shop where this blog was born. One year and about a month later, I am looking back at many of the events that have occurred during this past year. Lot's of things have changed, some of it is good and some of it is well...not so good but, I can say that I have learned lessons within each experience. I have found that dwelling on the past simply keeps me from moving forward, and I think the same may be for a lot of people. Anyway, I'll save the "Zen" stuff for my end of the year blog(which I hope I am not too *ahem* "fatigued" to complete).

Going off of the last post, I didn't end up buying the RX-7 but I did get something related to it. Definitely not as clean as the RX, or in as good shape but, I think I made the right choice. I ended up buying a 1994 Mazda Roadster in 5 spd MT. I definitely had to put a bunch of time, money and, most important, love. When I first got the car, it was in such terrible condition. I couldn't drive it more than 10 miles without overheating, tires were bald and, the clutch would work intermittently(Dealing with all of these problems at the same time, really fucking sucked). Considering I only picked this thing up for $1700.00 USD, I'd say it was somewhat expected. However, with a little bit of time and another $1700.00 later (Cooling system overhaul, New Tires, Redline trans fluid and diff fluid, Mobil 1 Full Synthetic Oil Change, clearing drain plugs) the change is definitely evident in a positive way. Servicing everything left me pretty much broke but, I consider transportation essential and it's even better when you can enjoy that trip. It's definitely the start of a good relationship.

Speaking of relationships, it's Christmas time again *sigh*. Normally, it's the best time of the year to spend with someone(I guess cause its one more present you can count on) but, I will be alone this year. Looking at the situation optimistically, it worked out nicely cause I really couldn't afford buying a Louis for anyone at this particular moment(not to say that all girls I date deserve Louie bags but along with trust, they will both come with time).

On another note, I have this weird stigma with Japanese girls. Perhaps I'm not trying hard enough? I'm not sure what it is really but, all I do know is that I haven't had the best of luck with them (the ones in HI at least). I guess I just have to wait till I go to Japan in March of next year in order to figure out whether or not I should just give it up (I highly doubt that though).

頑張ってます!
