Finally Some Vision

YOo, I hope you are well, and getting some good meals up in the system. I ate some really good cutlet curry right quick at a manga-kissa, which is this pretty dope concept where you go into a cafe/restaurant with walls filled with madd comic books (the good Japanese kind) and kick it and read, write, eat, drink, fiddle fingers. And its also dope cuz I just looked at the word マンガ喫茶　written in Roman alphabet and it seems like a place where all these people get together to make out with Spiderman, Ranma 1/2, and Captain Tsubasa. But alas, that is not the case. Well, I guess you can kissa the pages if you want. The cashier/server/all around boss lady probably wouldn't be havin none of that, though.

I finally got my camera running again, and so here are some photos from a snorkel trip some of my students and I went on yesterday. I'm in the classroom and the office all day on weekdays, so it was really nice to get out with our school's marine crew, WaterWorld.

The ocean at Sesoko, up on the northwest side.

I still can't really calculate how many kph equals
how many mph... we were going like 120 kph, which is
like as fast as a doped up donkey, I guess.

Nice block.

Yeah WaterWorld! See all them W's?
Represent, foooooooooooooo

And this here is a photo I took after the Surfball tournament we had held last Saturday down on the south part of the island. Surfball is a sport we invented when I went to school here a couple years ago, and it's siiiick. Keeps you madd fit too, cuz it's crazy on the lungs and legs. Check the site if you want, though it's all in Japanese: www.surfball.jp

Nothing like a beautyful sunset after a long day
running around on the beach.

So while I'm at it, I'd like to promote one of the main projects we're doing at our school. Yeeeaaahh publicity, homiiee. My sister Yuki is a madd talented screenwriter, and she writes and produces a badass TV show called Live City, it's all kinds of wicked, and everything is done by the students, from the shoot schedules to the cameramen to the acting. It airs on Okinawan TV on Saturday mornings at 10:55, and it's in its second season, and getting reeeal interesting. You could at least see the pictures and stuff on the Japanese website: www.livecity.tv

I'm blessed to be a part of something as great as this. I have the awesome job (no joke, it's so good to see all the different places and work with such a commited group of people) to drive the crew van whenever I can. I like driving. Allright, I gotta translate this song for class, thanks for the comments, and please let me know how you're doing. I miss yall. Peace for your niece.

Keeping in with the TaiChi

Starting position. I have a friend named Pepe here, so I hooked up a photo.

Duuuude, how it iiisss. Hope you're doing well, if you're reading this at all, sorry for the long intervals in between. Damn I want to see that movie Darjeeling Unlimited. I've been trying to either run or swim in the ocean every morning if I have time, but it only seems to work if I can get to sleep before 1 am. Maybe I'm just lazy. The ocean is getting madd nice, warm even in the am, cleansly. And also a bit of TaiChi everyday, thanks Baylen, I'm trying to keep it up. I need to learn more, get a master or something.

A note on the Pacific: it's definitely not as salty and soupy as the Indian along the west coast of Oz. It's real nice and kind of soft, like the coral reef put in some kind of elixir or something that makes it all ex-for-e-ating or whatever. That's what I feel like, like my skins freaking ex-for-ee-ating when I sweeeem in ze oshun.

Good busy days, the school is going well. I want to give props to Dr. Han for training me well, thank you.

Right, I gotta eat some foods. Ahhh damn the Okinawa-soba is good stuff. Had some for lunch today, which is pretty rare. Yo, eat while you can! That's what they say.... Laaater.
