I’m drunk.
This all on Christine. It is all her fault. Me and Serge and Gary and Lex are drunking the Black Box white. That is Xine’s fault, per your request, Zine, not Xsitne. Of course also thanks to Alexis, Eric, and Gary. Wine in a box. I could’t [...]

Found this at the Surly Blog (the post from 6/28/06)
This guy just rode the Tour de France route from the year of his birth and blogged it. He is a rock star for doing so. The photos from his trip are just awesome. Makes me wanna do something like this. But [...]

Yep, you heard me right
It seems that wine in a box is not what it used to be anymore. Sure you can still get the GIANT box of Franzia, (the world’s most popular wine, ugh) but there is a new face to wine in box here in the states. Wine Block and Black [...]

I’m still in Denver
. . . and lovin’ it! (As I write this I’m still here, but it will post sometime while I’m on a plane.) I like this city. That’s why I’m here, looking at REAL ESTATE! I saw some pretty neat places. I am primarily looking at 1 bedroom [...]

Sweet fabrication job, in his garage no less!

Knowing that people like Ron Patrick still roam this planet gives me a reason to smile every morning. Thanks to my buddy Rick for pointing this one out.

Yep, it’s not a post about Japan, but I’m not done with them either.
My buddy George told me that his friend Jason Childers is fighitng in the Fist of Fury event in Ontario on June 17, 2006. I’m going, you should too. Support your local Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighters! Click HERE for [...]

Okay I promise I am nearly done with Japan posts.
Nearly. Okay, on to the micro-vans! I posted a pic earlier of the Honda Vamos city works van I saw in Osaka. That is still my favorite, but I have to show you my second favorite:

I want to know who makes this! [...]

They are everywhere
One thing that is hard not to notice is convenience stores on almost every corner in Osaka. I also saw them all over Kyoto, but Osaka certainly had more. They even sell underwear at them in Japan! Some had shirts and ties too! I tried to get a pic [...]

The videos I promised
On our way back from Kyoto we took the shinkansen or bullet train. I took short video of the window view just to give you an idea of the speed. I don’t know if it really does it justice. About 13 minutes with no stops from Kyoto Station to [...]

Back in L.A. now sorting through photos
Japan is an awesome country. From my experience, I’d have to say that they are an incredibly polite nation. Everyone I ran in to was extemely helpful and nice beyond words. Next time I go back (either December this year or April next, or both) I’m [...]
