Here are the pictures from Japan I took when I visited my girlfriend Ruriko there a couple of months ago. There are over 600 pictures! I wish I had taken more actually… lol. On a side note, these pictures were taken a Digital Rebel 400D I borrowed from her family instead of the Digital Rebel 300D that I brought with me. The reason? Because I couldn’t find the charger for the batteries for my camera, nor anywhere to buy the charger in Japan. Upon returning to US, they have a compatible universal charger at Walmart for $15….

Well Japan was awesome. I cannot wait to return there. I am hoping to marry Ruriko evntually move to Japan to live.

As expected, the pull tabs for cheap chocolate pudding are worthless.

Here are the pictures from San Diego I took when I visited there a year ago with my parents. Enjoy the many flower and cacti pics.

Quality of life seems to be driven by challenge. You have to “fight” and “strive” to do well. Being bored or feeling underutilized is a sad skewed perception of the american dream.

The corrupt american dream is one of pursuing ease. Ease should not be pursued. That is laziness. Happiness is found in a job well done and a short rest afterwards. Bravery and confidence should be goal words for the next generation.

Here are pictures from when I visited the DC Zoo a year ago with my ex-fiancee Florence.

I just recently was in a major car accident. I had a three hour surgery to have a metal rod placed inside my right femur, and my left ring finger is broken in the middle of my hand, so my left hand is in a cast of sorts.

God spared my life. The combined head on collision speed was like driving 72 mph into a brick wall. I am lucky many more bones in my leg did not break. God protected me as he wished. It still hurts. It hurts a lot. It will take a while before I can walk again.  Physical therapy is painful. But being alive is most important.

I am using my time stuck immobile to do some computer work as I can. Typing with one hand is very difficult. So I have a new improved website. Right now I am running Wordpress, with Coppermine, this is a temporary solution of ease. I will be working on my own CMS system for my site, but that will require both hands and more time so this will do for now.
