Osaka Cherokee

played our final football game of the season today. halfway through the third quarter i got the dreaded stinger/burner. lemme tell you something, that shit fucking hurts. the nerves that run from your neck through the top or your shoulder get hit and your whole fucking arm radiates pain. i'm pretty sure i was the most intense five seconds of pain i've ever felt. this all started last week at practice when i got three of 'em and my hand has been numb for a week. but i'm a tough guy (idiot) and didn't go to the doctor cuz i knew he'd say don't play today. well, once again i've learned my lesson....for now. so for the time being i'll have a good time not having any feeling in half my right hand. this might put a damper on my sex life.

lemme just get this off my chest. i'm so fucking glad halloween is over. i used to love it when i was a kid. i dug it when i was in college. i pretty much didn't have anything against it until i moved to good ol' "let's copy shit and fuck it up" japan. when i first moved here there wasn't a lot of halloween stuff around. a few stores sold some jack-o-ranterns and whatnot and the japanese had a vague sense that it was some sort of fUn FuN jOy JOY american holiday. i hated it then because i got asked so many damned questions about it. i refused, and still do, to do anything halloween-ish in my lessons.
well its a whole different world now. from about three years ago japan is all abouty bout halloween. everywhere i go i see halloween shit being hocked. the mood is also different now. it isn't, "look there's a foreigner let's ask him about harroween" its more of a conceited "looky looky mister bronde haired, brue eyed, eat too much at the buffet, and fuck our women foreigner man, we're just like you now. we have harroween too! hahahaha!"
so now that japan has officially taken halloween and christmas hostage its only a matter of time before they jump on the easter or thanksgiving bandwagon. speaking of christmas the dancing santas and christmas cakes should be rolling out in 5...4...3...2...AAAAHHHHH!

fuckin' no fun holiday having japan. you'd figure being the country with the most national holidays in the world (15) you wouldn't have to cop other countries' shit.
