Osaka Cherokee

My wife's sister came over today and brought her 1 1/2 year old kid who I call Spanky cuz she looks exactly like Spanky from the Little Rascals. Recently I've been calling her The Human Tornado because she lays ruin to any place she goes. Anyway, I was watching an old video of Arnold Schwarzenegger on my computer and Spanky walked in, pointed at the screen and said, "Cherokee!!". Thata girl! Its about time somebody starts giving me props for my manliness.

Song of the Day: Parker and Lily- "I Am a Gun"

Oh man! I dropped the bar of soap in the bathtub yesterday. I think I'm required by law to commit seppuku (ritual suicide). The authorities are probably out looking for me right now. Dropping the soap in the bathtub is a bigger faux pas than sticking your chopsticks straight up in a bowl of rice or walking inside with your shoes on.

Song of the Day: Barry White- "Let the Music Play"

I just rode past the local laundromat and there was a Sumo wrestler in there doing his laundry. I never get tired of seeing Sumo wrestlers doing day to day shit. I saw one in the super market the other day.
Sometimes seeing shit like that makes remember that everything in Japan doesn't suck. Like when I see Buddhist priests riding mopeds and smoking cigarettes. That never gets old either.

Song of the Day: Kool Keith- "I"m Seeing Robots"

The lady who runs our little block association thing came over the other day and apparently your boy has to put in some fire prevention duty. Basically I have to walk around with two other guys and slap these two pieces of wood together and yell out "Hey y'all, be careful of fires and whatnot." for a couple hours a night. Jesus Horatio Christ! I'm not Smokey The Fucking Bear! Aren't these people adults?! Can't they not set fire to their house unless people walk around and tell them to be careful?! Who the hell comes up with this stuff?

I can't wait to get out of this place. Four years ago I probably would've been all excited about this new "cultural experience" but now I see it for the bullshit that it is.
