July 2006 Archives

I went to this sports bar and watched the baseball game. It went into a play off. It ended in a draw at 10:55p.m. Damn it. But good game. Really a good game. Another week has started. I hope you had a great weekend. I did have a nice half day off yesterday... You have a fantabulous day!

Yeah, seriously, you should have a fantabulous weekend since I will not have one. :-) See you next week!

1...I am a busy man. I am not embrassed by it. I am not proud of it, either. But I am. Now, time is money. The whole one hour is valuable. I could get things done if I wanted to. However, sometimes, I screw up prioritizing tasks I need to do. Yesterday, after coming back home, I spent a whole hour to research on Barbara Walters and Star Jones. After the good one hour of the research, I found myself dumb. I felt empty.
2...The same night, I went drinking with a real homo of homos. He told me I was living in a lie because I am not out to anybody at work. He told me I was chicken. Now, he is not a corporate slave. He is out to everybody. It's easy for him to say that. But to me, I don't see myself working comfortable if I disclose my homoness at work. I live in Japan and I don't think homos are very accepted here. Should I still be out to live proudly I am sorry if I am too chicken then. But his saying is still bothering me today... Yeah, fine, I am a liar then.
3...So the deadline to reply my acceptance to the grad school is getting close. I am GLAD to report you I am not going. I think I'd love to spend more energy on something I am interested in while my life is more stable. I don't have to worry about how I earn money and how I will end up. My motto for my thirties is to enjoy my private time. Yes, the current job doesn't let me do that much but things are going to change. :-)
4...Have you ever had live octopus? I had it for the first time in my life yesterday. I am glad I wasn't surrounded by Green Peace people. It was creepy. But I didn't cry because I am supposed to be a guy. I might've cried on the inside. It was yummy though. It was like a weird fuck that you actuallyl liked. :-) Have a fantabulous day!

So the straight guy in translation/interpretation department came back from the biz trip in Paris yesterday. That's so not fair. I don't get to go to Europe on buisiness at all. Anyway, when he was sick two weeks ago, I had to be his substitute and wore a suit on a very sticky hot day to join the conference to be an instant fake technical translator for this expat. I know I didn't do very well in there but I managed... I think.... He knows I am a big fan of Paris and I like everything about it excpet for the dogs' souvenirs. He asked me what I'd like from Paris as he said he would get me something pretty and nice from there as a Thank-you gift. You see straight guys don't do that quite often. So I think it's very nice of him. In the perfect world, I could have asked Dior's new sexy passive-agressive slutty shirt. But since my pecs and arms aren't awesome, I went with the next best thing. This is my favorite cake made by the shop called Stohrer. I used to pick this up every other weekend on my way back from school when I stayed there for the summer program. Now, this is called Baba. Baba is actually Italian bread if I remember it right. You sprinkle rum all over it until it's soaked so much. Any Baba would be perfect if an Italian hunk feeded me that. But since I don't know any Italian hunk to do that for me, this is the best at the moment. Oh my, I am over the moon. I hope I didn't cover my mouth and keep my pinky up like a high school girl when I had this. After all, good cake is sometimes much better than Dior's. I think the joy I could get from a great meal is almost the same as the joy I could get after good fuck. Well, I said "almost". uh-huh. When you are tired, get yourself something sweet. You have a fantabulous day!

My parents and friends tell me my job is very stressful, and I am always working. Yes, I did work over the weekend and went home to take a shower and to get some sleep a little. Yes, my work can be very stressful some times but I realize I am not the only one and I actually enjoy some parts of my work even if it doesn't look fun. I don't have time to think about things I need to in my personal time right now but I guess my life is pretty good whether it looks bad to others. This is a typical statement by a workaholic, I guess. Anyway, this thing in the photo was presented by a friend of mine yesterday. It's "O2 Suppliment". Do you know how much it costs? 600 Yen per unit = US$ 5.16 = 4.06 Euros. This has pressurized pure oxygen in it with some grapefruit aroma filter. That's it. This is supposed to be great for relaxation and stress. It's ridiculous that it costs this much but this is widely sold at a convenience store here. My friend thought it would be good for Workaholic Shigeki. To be honest, I didn't feel any different after inhaling this. Having mind-blowing sweaty activity with someone hot would make me feel much better if you ask me. But I think this illustrates that a lot of people need a temporary solution for their stress. Otherwise, this doesn't need to be sold. Stress is not good. It may get you cancer. No kidding... Well, I got a blood clot so I could actually understand what could stress do to ya. But at this moment, the scariest thing of all about the stress is that you age faster. No, no, no... I don't need to age faster than I should. So I guess I am going to get non-sensual massage after work today. That will do me good. no? But this stupid oxygen thingy... huh... Happy stress-free week if you can!

I am finally back in Tokyo. God, this was the busiest and the most brutal business trip I have ever made. I don't miss blogging for two days in a row usually but I did.... darn. I have another biz trip coming up pretty soon but I hope I will be able to blog as usual. I am going to slut myself up and have fun tonight. Yay. You have a fantabulous weekend!

Yes, I am still here in Sapporo and won't be able to go back home today, either. But I don't miss the brutal humidity over there in Tokyo. Plus, this is all my personal opinion but I think Sapporo has a lot of hotties. The guy at the front desk oft the gym was so cute. I almost asked him to take off his shirt immediately. But I still have moral. :-) I am sorry that I haven't been able to visit regular blogs I usually visit. It's just I've been super busy. I will try to catch up once I get back home! Anyway, you have a fantabulous day!

This is my Japanese folding fan for this year. I bought it yesterday. It's defenitely hot here in Tokyo but city heat is very sexy. I am in this chilly-my-valuable-shrinking room all day today though because I have to work on the server (a big geeky device you see at an organization). I think it's nice for Japanese young adults (I hope I am in that category still) to have something Japanese. I appreciate what people back in old days invented. You can put it in a pocket, take it out, and unfold it when you wave it in your face to feel cooler. (Well, it won't cool you down immediately but it's all about style, baby.) Also, you can hide half of your face with this but stare at a hottie so strongly by wishing "I wanna get fudged!" like a geisha girl but I don't think that's appropriate. Some may think these fans are only for ladies. Not really. This one in the photo is for men. If you are a guy, it won't make you less of a man. I am totally comfy with my masculinity even though there isn't much about me being masculine. :-P You can also use it as a pointer during the meeting, too. Fancy, huh? No, I don't use it to verify if I have the ability to fly by flapping so hard. I actually did it when I was little Anyway, this is a must item for me in summer. These traditional Japanese fans are becoming popular among young adults. When you are in Japan and buy a Japanese fan, please don't buy the Japanese flag thingy with a weird phrase in Kanji at a souvenier place. Buy something classy for better taste. :-) You have a wonderful summer day.(If it's not summer in where you are, sorry...)

1... When I was little, the usual Saturday fun was to watch Little house on the Prairie. I guess that was the show my parents liked to watch so I watched it, too. There was the hot dad in that show I don't know if you know this show but at the end credits, Laura was running down the hill and looked ridiculously happy. My dream was to be Laura. When I was in Switzerland, there was a time I was able to do what she did. A florwery hill. So I ran down and looked happy. I broke my ankle. Laura must be stupid. No, I was.
2... I went to the homo district on my way back yesterday. Wow, there were lots of slutted-up pretty boys. I didn't try to slut myself up but I took off my long sleeved shirt I was wering to "fit in". A friend of mine asked me to meet me at this bar where potato/rice queens gather. I didn't wanna go there because this bar is weird but since he insisted, I went in and found my friend. And this pervert pinched my nipple out of nowhere. I accidentally spilled my vodka on him and told him to sanitize himself before doing so. Gee, I am so not nice when I get drunk, am I?... I need to fix this part of me....
3... I had lunch in the park yesterday and saw one business man in a formal suit lying on the bench and taking a nap. I am envious of those people who can take a nap so comfortably. Don't they worry how relaxing her/his face would look? I mean some might be too relaxing. Many people can see your relaxing face, you know. Because my face looks so dull with some drool when I am comfy and alseep. I hate those pretty people who can sleep pretty.
You have a gorgeous Wednesday!

This article got my attention this morning when I was reading a newspaper. Japan Expo is held in Paris right now. To be honest, I really would like them to change the name of the expo as it's not about Japan. It's about Anime (Japanese Cartoons). You see, there are people who dress like those Anime characters and go there. I know there are people like that here in Japan, too. Some of them are definitely freaks unique. The word, "Otaku", which is a nerd or Anime nerd or whatever you wanna call it has been widely known outside of Japan. Anyway, it occrred to me when someone asks me what I do for living, I try to make it sound worse than it really is. "I do something so nerdy that you could vomit". The reason why I say this is because I used to be allergic to computers. Back in college, many friends around me were computer students and I used to make fun of them. They don't like to be outside. They don't play any sports. They don't care for what they wear. I was seriously worried that they might melt if they were exposed to the sunlight for more than 30 minutes. But they were very good friends so they knew I didn't say it in a hateful way. I didn't expect I'd become one of them though...When you think of nerds, you can never possibly imagine there are many musculine delish hunks. I think it's too judgemental. I am sure there are more hotties in this computer field than you think there are. Don't be too judgemental. So I just looked around me right now and tried to find one hottie. Okay...I soooo take that back. I guess it's safe to say there are less hotties in this field especially programmers than the fashion retailing field. And I must be one of those nerds... sigh... You have a wonderful day!

Detoxing is so happening right now. Since there are so many chemical substances we consume without knowing, I guess it's the right thing to do whether you are obsessed with it or not. I started to order organic vegitables and oranic chicken on a weekly basis a month ago. I even have organic brown rice. It means I have to cook by myself. As mentioned here several times before, I hate cooking. But I try to do it because one day, I will become a full time househusband according to my plan. Anyway, I started to notice some positive change. Like my skin got better even though I don't get enough sleep. I even do this detox self-massage that is so happening among ladies and some homos. It's totally worth it. :-) Unfortunatley, detoxing doesn't cleanse my filthy mind and stress. I go batting to get rid of unreasonable stress. But there is a time I need to cleanse myself spiritually. Sadly, a weird religion wouldn't help in my case. Watching a good movie is a good way to do that. The most effective way to cleanse my soul is this. The little prince. When I read this as an elementary school assignment, I didn't enjoy it. But I read it again when I was in the early 20s on my way back from Honolulu to Tokyo. God, it was so moving. I even cried a lot while a hottie was sitting next to me. I re-read this only once a year or so. Yesterday, I read it. It was a good cleansing moment. This is the book I am going to keep until I die. If you haven't read this and if you are as filthy as I am, I totally recommend this. Anyway, you have a wonderful new week!

I've changed my blogging pattern. I used to blog at night but now I do it every morning. Maybe, because my work schedule has changed. (Working from 6 in the morning to 10p.m. with a two hour break.) This seems to be working pretty well, actually, I stil have no life. Yet, I am blogging here by not attending the conference call I was supposed to join. I am sorry but Australian English is so hard to understand for me. I wish they would do Instant Messaging instead of the phone call... Today's excuse not to attend the call was "I have a super immediate task to complete." which is obviously going to Starbucks. I hope I won't be shot to death or anything.... Anyway, I am sorry this is heavier to load. I will keep it short next time. Thank you for visiting my site. You have a fantastic weekend!

The hosting server service I am subscribing seems to be having problems lately. Whenever I contact them, they never ever ever say "sorry". How fun. By the way, I talked about "this" today, and it seems I am mistakenly in because my art skil is not brilliant obviously by looking at those sketches. (Seriously, I am not proud of them but I thought I'd do this regularly to deliver a non-exciting message in a not-so-digital way). Anyway, I think I was very lucky. :-) I will have to sleep on it. Other than that, my life is pretty much quiet this week. Please click the photo if it's too small to read. Thanks. You have a fantabulous day!

When I was little, I tend to look up at the sky a lot and thought I would definitely get an ability to fly. Unfortunately, that ability has never been achieved so I worked to distribute chicken or beef up there and learned how to paraglide and skydive. I still tend to look up and appreciate the blue sky as it's my favorite color. It's one of those tiny little happy moments for me. The interesting thing is that I actullay have to look up as there are so many buildings around. I was very surprised that I didn't have to do this when I lived in Kansas as everything there was flat. Anyway, this is the photo of wires and a pole. I live in the middle of Tokyo. I mean it's very center. But cable wires are everywhere like this once you walk along back streets. I find these so premitive. But I hear we cannot bury these wires under the ground because we have earthquakes. I am not sure whether this is true or not. It's the 21st century but this is the part that makes me think Tokyo is so behind the innovations. Anyway, when I look up at the sky, these wires come into my sight obviously. It's like watching this non-interesting person in my sight and never lets me see the hunky hottie behind him/her anyway. I say "move. Fudge off" in my heart. Very distracting. But whenever I look up at the sky, I appreciate how blue it is even though I cables, wires, poles, whateve and the sky should have been bluer than ever if there was no chemical thingy. Unfortunately, it's a typical rainy day in the rainy season so I cannot appreciate the blue. I am so envious of those who live where it's blue all the time. :-) You have a happy blue day!

I left work early yesterday because this was the last day in Tokyo for a screaming-like-a-girl straight friend of mine from Seattle. I fed him decently even though I detest cooking. George, please tell your gay friends I can be a great husband. :-) Well, lie if you don't think so. He took me to this fancy district of Tokyo and went into one of those snobby Italian shops. He told me I could get one item from this shop as a "thank you". I was so over the moon. He definitely knows how to entertain a homo in a non-sexual way. So I got this pretty overpriced shirt. I took him to the airport, and he hugged me. (Please, somebody, tell me how to hug a straight dude appropriately. I always feel nervous.) I hope his second visit was good. BTW, did I tell I'd been seeing this guy for some time? Anyway, he is a fire fighter. (I am sorry to ruin your fantasy but he is not so manly.) He said he wouldn't get off *blush* until midnight so he told me to meet up "Tuesday Night. 1a.m.". I know it's pretty late but seeing him is rewarding. So I wore this pretty shirt and went to where we were supposed to meet. He didn't show up... It was 1:30a.m. when I decided to call him. He was like "What? Aren't we meeting tomorrow?" Then it occurred to me I misunderstood him. He meant Tuesday night. 1a.m. = 1a.m. on Wednesday while I thought it would be 1a.m. on Tuesday. Don't fire fighters use military time like 0100??? So I waited for nothing by feeling pretty in a pretty shirt. I walked back home with some skipping because I still felt pretty in this shirt. Yeah, crap happens. Those who date night shift people, please make sure which day it is precisely or meet her/him in a day time :-) You have a fantabulous Tuesday!

My Seattle friend, another friend and I went to Hokkaido (Nothern Part of Japan where there is no rainy season. It was dry, sunny, and cooler up there.) It's so green and the air was very clean...but I prefer Tokyo even if the air is not so clean.
1... You see, Japanese traditional style hotels called "Ryokan" like the one we stayed this wekend have "Yukata", light cotton kimono, for every guest. To get you a better picture, those kimono like thingies you could see in the movie Last Samurai when Tom Cruise was hot and not so stupid yet. Anyway, it was my Seattle Friend's first time to wear it. So I taught him how to. When I stood on my knees and adjusted his waist belt to make it more appropriate, I thought of something else... Yukatas can be so erotic if you wear it inappropriately. :-)
2... Speaking of Tom Cruise, I am so over him. I feel sorry for how stupid he is his recent weird behaviors. When I yesterday went to a bookstore and saw Tom Cruise on the cover of some magazine, I found him hot still... What's wrong with me?
3... I was only able to skydive once last Saturday because both friends who tagged along screamed like a girl. One of them is a 30 year old lady. That's understandable. But the other one is a 30 year old straight dude who loves watching football and makes fun of my being a homo every once in a while. I've got bigger balls than he does even though they are not going to be used for what they are. (reporudctive systems) :-P
You have a gorgeous week!
