Blind Spot

Just for fun . . . from the blog Book of Joe

Snooty tooty

I am a Hillary fan. To be honest, Obama and Hillary are like Pepsi and Coke. You prefer one, but if the restaurant only has the other, it doesn't really matter. Here is an unflattering photo of Obama looking like such a snob. Probably just a bad moment. Or maybe that is how he always looks at Hillary when the cameras aren't flashing.

Back from the dead/Japan/sufing . . .

I have quit MenuNetwork, the online firm that I was helping. It was still in a very nascent mode, and working from Hawaii simply didn't make sense as monetary compensation was still far into the future. Therefore, I get to take trips, surf whenever I want, and work on a multitude of personal projects!

My brother made a commercial for them. Any comments please let me know!



I will detail them more as they come up in my own personal monologue, but I am really happy to be able to dedicate my days to myself. Already looking for employment for when I get back to Dallas (we will head out there in the middle of August), but I am going to take my GMAT and maybe my LSAT ( I know random, too random to explain) to keep my options open.

Listening to a book called Jessica by Bryce Courtenay. It is fabulous. He also wrote Brother Fish, which I highly highly recommend.





I thank Ellie and Sungi for updating their blogs, it is great to be able to find out waht is going with you both. Keep it up, and I will also keep up mine :)

Big in Japan!

Sungi's adventures in Japan have been keeping me entertained, and also revved me up to write a bit again. It is amazing how difficult it is to keep posting when no one else posts anything. I suppose people are reading, but with no comments and no replies, it feels like shouting into the wind: a waste of time.

So after pounds and pounds of soba, sushi, tempura, soup, and Ohhashi Omlette special, i am proud to say that all the weight I lost not drinking booze is back on my hips. But I enjoyed putting it there!

Will post some more, but for now, I am just gonna post some photos. Full screen is better than not. To get to full screen, just click on the scrapblog logo on the lower right-hand corner.

Undecided?

Going back to politics.

Super Tuesday is coming up. L is going for Obama baby, but I for some reason am inclined to go for Hillary. Although I just love Ron Paul so much, I might vote for him. I vote in Texas, which is always republican dominated, so my vote basically is for nothing.

Here are some cool things I dug up for the undecidedes:

Browse Inside this book Get this for your site

For Tuugii

Sodo, if Tuugi comes to visit, tell him these are just a few of the things we will do!

Fly above the Volcano!


Teach him to to Paddle Surf, this is a video of my brother, Paul. I do it too! It is easy!


Snorkel during the day


We can snorkel this one, he doesn't need to know how to dive! The manta rays are harmless:)


We have horses too! We can go herd cattle!


See a show!


Let me know if his parents are going to let him him out of their sight for a week or so :) I wouldn't if I were them, he is too great! :)

Well, I haven't really blogged lately. It really is unmotivating to blog when no one else does, but since Sodo (who hasn't blogged for over a year), and Ellie both picked up again, I thought I would too. Won't do a summary since everyone knows what I have been up to since Facebook has been so popular among our circle.

I have been trying to figure out where to go with Luis. We both need a trip to get out of here, and I think we have settled on going to Japan in April. I wanted to go to India but with 30 hours of flying and 2k per ticket compared with 8hrs and 800, the price and time decided for us. We won't stay with Ellie, as her family has been through a lot lately and doesn't need house guests, and we want the freedom to go party until late or take a nap in the middle of the afternoon :) I think we are going to spend 4 days in Tokyo, and then spent the rest traveling all around.

I have been reading a lot lately, which has just been so wonderful for me. I used to read a lot, and then I listened to Audio books, but now I do both! I really miss reading. I am actually thinking about investing in Kimble, which is Amazon's new electronic book. You can keep 90 books in there ( I traveled to PR and took five books, and they were heavy!), download new ones anytime you want through cell phone technology, and it has a dictionary so if you come across a word you don't know, you can look it up instantly!

I am reading The Master and Margarita, one of most important pieces of protest literature coming out of Russia. It is great, the devil goes to Moscow and terrorizes the literary community.



My cats are wonderful, Pista is going through a Mamma's boy phase (he usually spends more time with his pappa, so I am enjoying his company when I take a nap or I am working on my computer. IT is lovely.

Well, that is it for the evening. I just watched "There Will Be Blood," which is phenomenal. Need to go digest
