"My boss got 9 fines here ... dude - weren't you listening to my story??"

“..Japan is a veritable 24/7 game of fuego, or MUY fuego..” – Lonely Planet Guide

Do I really need to share a plethora of deep, inspirational, ‘reach for the stars’ phrases? No, no I do not. Some would say that those who do weren’t close enough to begin with. You know my thoughts on your trips, and all I have to say is that Indiana Jones, and the Temple of Poon awaits.

I think what I’ll really miss - is you giving me lifts. From my house to Alexandria, to take part in annual Running of the Bargain Tour Buses at the exclusive 'Puma outlet'. A real pinnacle moment in my life. Where I stole extra studs for my 7’s boots and hid them in my underwear. How do you like THAT for a bargain! Or the Vietnamese 'restaurant' with the slime noodles, where we were called out on being food wasters!
YOU FINK WE MAKE SMALL PRATES HERE??? OHH NOOOO, (you Americans have) VERY RARGE!

Take it how you will, I finally got my fake 'are you sure you want to pick me up?' act down pat, and now all that hard work goes out the window. And not even a car window, sadly enough. The window of my room, which I will remain, locked up in, due to my own current driving situation.



You may not be a supergirl, not yet a woman, but for a proverbial $50, you've called a locksmith on a Sunday night to take the padlock of oppression off of the metaphorical 'garage-gates' fortress, whilst your parents were away on a family vacation that you infact were not invited on, and will forever be bitter about, and decided to go to Japan in the summer. Return as you wish for the BDO (don’t forget who won the ticket, don’t you dare forget), but when you do - just remember who got you where you are today. If it wasn’t for this burly young gentleman always there to back you up, you'd still be chasing the elusive purple dragon.

I could have prepared a stirring final montage of photos, but I won’t. You've seen them all. And mainly because most of them I stole from your phone.

Below I have put together some skiing tips. Safety first.

"We’re gonna take it slow, take it easy, make sure everybody has a goooood time. Cause what is skiing about? Having a good … a good tiiiiiiime, that’s right. Now just a few safety things to keep in mind – look straight ahead when you ski, if you don’t, you’ll fall – gonna have a bad tiiiiiime. Look out other skiers, if your skies cross – gonna have a bad tiiiiiiime.

See what he did? He French fried when he should’ve pizzaed. If you French Fry instead of pizzaing, you’re gonna have a bad tiiiiiiiiiime."

I bid thee adieu, and I’ll catch you .. hours after you leave. I get paid to sit on msn, but you already know that.

I have dry 'walls'. And i'm running out of time.
Because sometimes the only respect - is the kind you take.

McGrath Shaker Zak, grandfather time may ravish your once youthful looks come March, but when you return it is possible I may see too much of you - so I shall learn to deal with it.

Be cool, friend.
