I submitted another short news piece to SG, so fingers crossed that they at least gimme the courtesy of a "Dear Weatherpunk" letter if it won't get posted.

If it gets the green-light, I'd like to do a revolving piece where I bring news related to our environment/natural resources being used & the conflict it causes when there isn't enough to go around. If I...

I saw "Yes Man" Friday night with my co-workers, and we absolutely LOVED it! It's been forever since Jim Carrey was in something that was meant to be a comedy all along, and this truly is his forte. The comedy even managed to squeeze enough room for some light romance thanks to the Ridicu-Hot Zooey Deschanel. I wouldn't have thought they would have chemistry on...

I hope everyone had a very SG Christmas! Family obligations met, let's start gearing up for a bitchin' New Year's Eve!

Alright! Thanks to some help from Metta, I got my photos resized & picked my favorites from the 50-odd shots I took. I visited Showa Kinen Park, a national park built for the people of Japan by one of the modern Emperors. This was my 2nd visit and I took my bike, so I could get some good exercise & see more of the...

Ugh, I have a metric shit-tonne of photos from Japan so far, but they are too big (file size) to upload here. Feh!

To all acquaintances:

I'm settled in Tokyo for the next 3 years! If you come out East for a shoot or just plain holiday, give a shout out and we might grab some coffee or go sight-seeing.

So EXCITED, and a little sad that I have to leave my friends here in Washington behind for a couple of years. I'm planning to come back for school, so we'll stay in touch while I am gone, and then have a...

Oh. My. GAWD.

Sometimes, life just whacks you with a Nerf bat in the go-nards. Let me summarize:
I am an NCO in the US Armed Forces, and as a result, I am responsible in a broad sense for those members who are below me in rank. There is an individual I know, used to be friends with, and then pulled away from due to...

Hmmm, I've had some things on my mind for a while now. I decided to start getting them down on e-paper and instead of just posting in a blog that most will never read, I went ahead and submitted it to SG as a commentary article.

I hope it passes their smell-check & gets posted; I would love to have people agree/disagree/start up a crusade...

Wow, I think this website must be lucky or something. I finally broke down and registered after about 9 months of trolling through the newsfeeds w/out posting. And what should happen the day after I do so? Uncle Sam comes knockin' and says he needs me to return to the Land of the Rising Sun.

I will be moving to Tokyo in 4 months to...
