Osaka-ish

Osaka...Ok, Sanda, a short 30 minute train ride from Osaka.  My boy Mike lives in a cubby hole in a suburb, or bed town, of Osaka.  Not bad, not great.  Just a pad.  I am looking forward to checking the place out a bit more.  Loud ass MIKE.  Great to see him.   Last night he spilled chuhai (booze) on some dude on the train.  Funny as hell.  Anyway, get ready for New Years...

First day of a week off.  I am chilin today with my roomate and Mandisa, a black girl from Nova.  Cool chick, if a bit roughneck.  I mean it in the nicest possible way.  I bought a bag for 20 bucks I thought was going to cost me 150.  Just a little thing I can keep my study stuff and a little assorted crap in.  I been lugging around this backpack with like a binder in it for a month. 

 

Heading to Osaka tomorrow to chill with my boy Mike.  I wrote Mika on accident there.  Freud or quirk of qwerty?  Hmmm....  lets hope it was a qwerk.  Should be a wild week.  Mike says he got a bottle waiting, and I am all about it.  He actually lives in a suburb of Osaka, but it is a cheap train ride, and I am all about visiting a smaller berg anyway.  Be nice to get away from gettin away for a bit.  Too bad I cant jet off and see my boys in Okinawa too.  Damn being poor!

turn the lights out while she burns.

Just another day in the big city.  I am chilling listening to BNL-the Bare Naked Ladies, to the uninitiated.  Good jams, good times, right?  One day of work until I get 9 days off.  I will be heading down to Osaka to chill with my boy Mike.  The black zoro.  Just dont ask what he signs his Z with.  Trust me, you dont wanna know.  I had a crappy night the other day, and I followed it with a good one last night.  I studied in Starbucks, again, (who woulda guessed I would become a kanji nerd?)  and I talked to the guy there I met the other day-Yasuhiro.  After that I met Re (yes, like Ray), Keiko, Nasuki, and some little kid named Ray.  No kidding.  At one point I had every employee of SB talking to me and ignoring the register.  It was when we were discussing the many Rays in the store.  Re is the manager, and when the manager screws off everyone does, right? 

 

Yet again, I have set myself up on a first name basis with the folks at my favorite spot.  too bad its a SB.  I think I should start calling myself Norm.  Perhaps it is the validation of having SOMEONE know your name, or perhaps I deep down inside fear change.  Therefore I go to the same places repetitivly as a substitute for any real stability in my life.  Anyway, it was fun talking to them, and I was having a good Japanese day.  Some days I cant seem to figure out just what the hell they are saying, and some days I can.  Perhaps someday.  I am just trying to figure out the train station announcements now.  I got leaving from track #... down now.  Hope all is well.

hey hey hey!

So the last three days have been quite dull.  Watching movies, a lot of reading, and the usual amount of study as well.  I actually like studying Japanese here-unlike in the states.  Mostly the Kanji.  It is kinda zen to write the same thing over and over again with an eye to making it just so, perfect.  It is not the kanji, but making the kanji that is important, ne?  I am hooking up with some guy I met on the subway the other day.  He has been here like 16 years, and he is from Portland.  He should be an invaluable source of info^assuming he isnt a wacko, but I am not too worried.  He invited me to his buddhist meeting, and though unfortunatley I have to work, it is a good sign of a peaceful mind.  I would definitley like to start sitting again, and doing the tea ceremony would be ideal.  Anyway, my friend just arrived.  We are going to UNAGI.  Hmmmmmmmm  goood UNAGI.  BBQ like goodness....(insert Homer Simpson impression here)

CRAP!

Well I have an interview on Friday with a company that called about 20 minutes after I applied. It is about 40 minutes from where I live now, it pays about 600 more-minimum- and it is all kids classes. I like all this. Now I realize that since I want to go to grad school in 07 I need to think about having a part time job then. A significant concern. I have not seen a great deal of them advertised, but I am certain that if I stay with NOVA I can have a very well paying one. I hate to say it, but I may end up dealing with Nova anyway. Jeez. Just when I think I got it all figured out. I am just going to lay it out to the guy I interview with-small company run by him and his wife, and perhaps he may have some insight into it. It would be nice to put away an extra 6 to pay for school. That is like 7000, and that is a year’s tuition at NU. On top of whatever I would have saved on my original salary. I tend not to spend much money. As long as I have a coffee shop to study/read in I am good to go.

So, it pays more, but I will have to move, and face an uncertain employement future. I also know NO ONE in that city, but if it is nice... I feel a need want recieve matrix in my future.

So, now a not about Japanese girls. What the hell happened to the way they walk? They have atrocious gaits. Like ducks, or monkeys they wander around in these stiletto heels trying to look sexy. I am just not into it. If you are UNABLE to walk with sophistication and style DONT WEAR EM. I would rather have a woman in tennis shoes who comports herself well than any of that crap. Friggin wierdos...

Look at these classes!

OK everyone just calm down a minute!

I am NOT unhappy here. I do hate my job, but overall things are going well-except that I am extremely hung over today! We went to a nomihodai last night-all you can drink for a certain period of time at a set price. Ben, my aussie roommate, asked for a whiskey and coke and they were really thrown off by this for some reason. SO he ended up with a WATERGLASS full of whiskey and another of coke. I stopped drinking at midnight, and I am still a little drunk today at 2pm. Also, I started out my evening wiht a few slugs of absinthe. I am LIKEN that stuff! Two shots and I was off for like three hours!

ANYWAY. I like where I live, who I live with various other aspects of my life now. I even enjoy my job to a certain extent. I talk to people all day. Anyone who knows me knows I CAN TALK purty gud. The problem is that I need more intellectual stimulation. I will not enjoy teaching english PERIOD, I think. I need to be challenged somehow, and tihs job does not offer it.

I am seriously leaning towards graduate school. Nogoya Daigaku is in the top 200 worldwide, and 11th in Asia. International Cooperation Studies, or Development would be an interesting degree with lots of potential jobs attached. Most valuable to me would be the language skills, and the experience and fact of having been educated in Japan. Their bachelors degrees are a joke, but their graduate programs are generally pretty good.

So, this is what I am thinking. After six months I am going to try and go part time at Nova. I could easily do this job part time. In the meantime I am going to start the process of applying to grad school. I need to apply to scholarships and crap, as well as research wether or not I can even go to school on a working visa! I have a lot of things to research.

NO WORRIES ALL. I just HATE MY JOB. How many people hate their jobs? Most, I bet. I can ANYTHING for a year, and eventually they will start paying me, and I can buy stuff.

I am going to be here for a while. Probably 3-5 years. I say 5, but historically I get bored after three and so I am doubtful about that. I need to make the experience as valuable as possible. I study Asia. I like studying Asia. I want to work in a field involving Asia.

It might sound like I am off my rocker, but I am pretty sure I know what I am doing!!

We shall see...

Should be studying...

OK, so I have four options at this point. Keep working for Nova until I lose all ability to think outside the box and start espousing this fucked up company to newbies. I could quit and go to work for another English school until I cant stand the tedium any longer. I could also quit and go work on a US base. Or I could go to graduate school in Japan. I am already sick of this job, and am not sure how long I can stick it out. I just cant stand not using my head for anything other than a hat stand 5 days a week. A monkey could REALLY do this job. I am not kidding. JEEZ!

When all else fails; put your fist in it. Why, you ask? I do not know, it just seems to work. Unfortunately, you can’t put your fist in broke, and my ass is broke. I just bought a subway pass to last the month. Now, come middle of next week, when I run out of funds, I can still afford to get on the subway and bum change. Great plan eh? The pass cost me $145 US, but the company pays for 86 of it. I have free access to any subway line in Nagoya and surrounding.
I had the worst kinder class today. I had one kid who kept running out of the room, and when he was not doing that he was running around the room. To make matters worse that meant that my BOSS had to sit in my room and keep him from running away. I had to do that messed up lesson with my boss, and about 4 parents watching me. Yet again, another problem I could not put my fist in.
Oh well, when that little crap ass is working at a convenience store at thirty I probably will be there too, and maybe I will be his shift manager. I will make him clean the food vat by the register with a toothbrush. Crap ass kids.
I got my phone working now. As far as phones go this one is a pretty spiffy one. I can listen to MP3 with or without headphones, and take 2.2 mega pixal pictures while looking up words in my Japanese to English dictionary

Seniors

I had my first senior class yesterday. It was about eight 9-12 YO kids who were alternating between too cool to be seen with the likes of me-if they only knew-and being delighted by the most childish games. Interesting age. The class went better than expected, except that I forgot the lesson plan and just started letting them screw off more and more. They got the vocabulary, and that is all I was shooting for. "What do you want for christmas?" "I want a video game (game-U, as they say)." It was fun. My kinder classes were hell though. One of the kids locked himself in a cupboard. I was really pissed until I figured out he did it to himself. After that I decided he could stick his head in the toilet for all I cared, and I would teach to those who paid attention! We danced, we sang, and I made funny faces. It was fun! I like the kids classes better than adult. I can screw off like a madman with the kids for forty minutes!

Starbucks

Well, here I am at Starbucks again. I miss americanos with cremera. I think they have never actually had a good cup of coffee served in this country. Poor bastards, and poor me. Just finished two hours of Kanji practice and boy is my head aching. I hate Japanese. Why didn't I move to Spain??? I went out last night, and got home about six this morning. It was OK. Unfortunately I am stuck on the subway for transport, and so I can either be home by midnight, or by six, and nothing in between. I danced, I drank, and I looked at girls. Then I had curry, walked a million miles, and went to bed.

I also went to Nagoya Castle yesterday. Great exhibit, but the walls seem to be in poor shape. They have trees growing out of them, and that can not be good for them! The castle was built in 1602 at the behest of Tokugawa Ieyasu and served as a regional power center for the bakufu. Then the US bombed the shit out of it in WWII and it was rebuilt in 1959. They are still trying to raise the funds to finish the job. I hope they do! I am excited to see another local castle as well. It is the only privately owned castle left in Japan, and it remains in the possession of the family that built it-probably around 1600 or so I would guess. Cool, huh? Tomorrow, work… more kid’s classes. Big fun in the city baby, big fun. CYA

NOVA Sucks!

Hello all! I am doing fine here in ra ra land. Turns out I am a natural teacher-which means I am having a dickens of a time making myself work within the botched crap that Nova passes for lesson plans. As far as Nova is concerned I am no more a teacher than a plumber. Of course I, being the ass that I am, refer to my students as customers and spend every minute just trying not to flee. I like the customers, but I feel bad they are getting ripped off by this crap!

Anyway, a funny thing happened at the bank. The teller knew a little English, and so I was happy as hell trying to get my bank account started. We make simple small talk, and it turns out she studied in junior high-like six years ago or more, and she can still make a decent conversation! So, I tell her I am a Nova teacher, but that I am a crappy teacher. She says, you’re a sweet teacher, and promptly tells me she wants to take lessons at Nova. I almost cried it was so cute, and died because I am terrified I made a new customer for that devil! Really, she just wanted to hang out with little old me, and flattered as I was-she really was cute in a “I wear too much make-up” way, I had to flee, and quickly before I changed my mind. I have never seen a Japanese women act in such a forward fashion; it was refreshing! Any deviation from the norm here is a major step, and I try to encourage it whenever I see it.

Anyway, my work is OK. It is an hour from my pad-yes, I commute an hour for my crappy job, and I must walk, take a subway, a train, and walk again to make it there. The Japanese staff treats us like we are idiots, and some of us really are. I myself, have become resigned to a year of drudgery punctuated by bouts of drunken windmill chasing. This is my life, such as it is.

An interesting side note here: I met a girl, Tiffany, at my initial Nova interview in Seattle, and it turned out we were going to Nagoya together! We shared a flight here, the same hotel (not room) in Osaka, the same train to Nagoya, the same orientation and training class (yes, there were several), and now, guess what? We work in the same branch two days a week. How friggin weird is that?

OK, so did everyone figure out that my photos were of the pad I live in? Well if you didn’t you know now. Happy?

My favorite part of flying has always been take offs and landings. Of course, did you ever hear someone tell you they loved to sit for hours doing nothing? Of course I like take offs and landings, that is the only time anything happens-unless you are like me and lucky about seats. I always seem to end up near an attractive woman. Case in point; the time I almost got off the plane in Sacramento. I was in fact on the way to Seattle, but I nearly followed a blonde home for the hell of it. The last time I flew, I sat between an Asian and a blonde. There is no better place to be that between two women, but there can also be no worse place too. I was happy.
How long has it been since I was happy? I think I was unhappy for a long time in my life, and it occurs to me today that it is no longer true. I am happy. I am free of all attachments, and all responsibilities. The Marine Corps has no say on me, I have no woman, and no kids either. I am a stranger in a not-so-strange land, a land I fought to return to. I don’t speak the language well, but I am not sad about that. I don’t really want to talk to anyone anyway. I think I just want to be alone for a while. Of course, I cant help but to look at all the pretty girls going by, but that is endemic to my half of the species, and I am unable to do much about it.
So here I am, in Japan. I have to ask myself; now what? The truth is I don’t know. As the honorable Mr Diamond said, “being lost is worth the thrill of coming home,” and I have to believe that is true. I don’t mean home as in Puyallup, but as in that place inside that says you belong. I am still seeking something I have never found, and I don’t know what it is. I think the effort I have expended in seeking it will be rewarded someday. Otherwise, I could not continue, and as I said, I am happy here, now. Not content, but happy.
So anyway, here I am in Japan. I love my apartment, but my roommates are sketch. I figured both would be, so this is an improvement on my expectations. Tomorrow my stuff arrives, and I will get settled in for the long haul. As of right now, job unseen, I think I can do two years right where I am very easily. I just need to buy a bike to cut down on my commute. More to come about everything, and nothing at all.

I have arrived in Osaka!

Osaka, Japan Ilcuore Hotel room 508

I arrived in Japan last night after a 11.5 hour flight. Incidentally, I have decided that my next life goal is to bang a JAL flight attendant. First meal was Ramen with kimchi, it was really good. For breakfast today I think I will be getting some onigiri, and then head out to meet the group to be taken to my new accomadations in Nagoya. This means a train ride. Trains in Japan are always fun. Wish me luck with my Australian and British roomates. They moved in last week, and have probably already established all the good spots in the house. I hope they are cool; I dont want to have to be an asshole. Of course I will if needed. Take care,

R~R

Well; call me Willie and spank me red!

I got my posting in Japan. I am scheduled to leave for Japan on Nov 9, and as soon as my working Visa clears I will be cleared hot for that departure. I will be spending the next year at least in Nagoya. See map available here...(http://www.lonelyplanet.com/mapshells/north_east_asia/japan/japan.htm)

I am stoked. Nagoya is a cool town I hear, and famous for my favorite food-UNAGI! Whoo hoo! I am OSCAR MIKE. (USMC reference). I do feel bad that I will miss hte Marine Corps Birthday, but I would rather go to Japan! Wish me luck!

Friedman

In the spirit of "fair and balanced" I would like to point out that today, while reading old Tom's latest editorial, that he knew nothing about the Cultural Revolution in China. Bad analogy dude...try again.

Dentist.

Puyallup, WA. Cutters Point Coffee

Went to the Dentist today. I hate that. Drs of any sort are not my favorite people to visit. Why can't I be unbreakable and not have to worry about disease and decay? Is that too much to ask? Jeez. Great article today in the NYT from Tom Friedman, Leading by (Bad) Example. I love hearing Iraqi government officials trying to not to scream "HYPOCRACY" while fleeing our country. Check it out. Not much else-twenty days until lift off. Just trying to keep alive until then. I am however, realizing how much I think I am going to miss my little friend. I like her very much, and I have really enjoyed the time I have spent with her. She is smart, pretty, and kind. Not only that she can eat spicier food than I can-almost. Impressive stuff. So far, she is the only thing I am really going to miss. My family will be here when I return, but she will not. She returns to Korea, and to lecturing at the University. I know she misses that. Why am I always walking away?

No Mike

That is NOT why I am leaving to Japan. I am leaving because I like to feel like Godzilla; nearly trampling everything in that miniature land. I also like to be confused, and have no idea what anyone is saying. Mostly, I am avoiding reality TV. Now kill yourself.

Swank or skank?

Puyallup, Wa. Cutter's Point Coffee, South Hill.

A day like every other. Someone lives someone dies, and the rest of us drift on to whatever it is we think is more important. Gas is cheap at the safeway across the street; 2.71 per gallon. It is a sad state of affairs when the price of gas is news.

Yesterday I undertooki a pack-out for Japan. I packed my bags to leave, and looked for problems. I have too much stuff, that is a problem. This is really making me look for things to give away. I have nice, servicable clothes, but I have kept some way beyond their prime. I have spent a ton on clothes already, and I still need a couple of things yet. I really want some of those Accorn socks. I love those things; nothing better for cold floors! The pack out was a sucess, as you can never fail one. You just try to spot problems before they arise later. I am allowed two bags, one carry-on, and one laptop case. Additionally I expect to ship at least two boxes diectly to Japan of things I dont need immediatley.

Here is my news for the day. Apparently we are still getting dummer in relation to the rest of the world. I am trying to get my old man to teach after he retires. Whate else is he gonna do? Garden? It would be fun-part time. Check it out...

Ramadan

Seattle, USA. University Zoka Coffee

Chillin, waiting for Travis. We are going to a program put on by the Japan America Society featuring a talk by Robert Pekkanen, my professor from the University, on his recent trip to Japan covering the electoins. Should be fun-yes I am aware that I am a geek, thank you. The most interesting thing in the paper today is an article in th NYT on the holy month of Ramadan in Dubai, and some other more developed Muslim societies. It notes increasing similarities in the popular celebration for ramamdan and Christmas, and the questions it raises. Check it out!

Building a world player?

Japan is again being placed in a position to take a greater role in the global community. The World Bank, under Wolfowitz, has decided that Japan should take a more aggressive role in the organization that befits the second largest contributor to the fund. Still trying to make Japan the big dog in Asia, and still not getting the job done. CHINA CHINA CHINA!

Apples?

Why not? I have nothing to say, but that never stopped me before and I don't intend to start now. I have done nothing of consequence today whatsoever. I have been infact rather the opposite of a productive member of society. Then again, I did get to the coffee shop and BOUGHT some coffee and that is helping the economy isn't it? I even paid cash for it-though I did forget to tip. I never tip Travis. I must be a bad person. I can deal with that if you can.
Speaking of Zoka, there are quite a few nice looking women in here today. Very acceptable odds in a target rich environment. Most are blonde, a few are Asian, and ones a red head-trouble ahead, lady in red. Take my advice you'd be better off dead! Can anyone name that tune?
Well then, nothing sought; nothing accomplished and this blog is done.

Leaves are changin.

The view from the Greenlake Zoka chair must be inredible. Maybe tomorrow I will make my way there in the morning. If Kim lets me out of the house. I am on my four day tour of Seattle. I am spending my weeks between Seattle and Tacoma; family and friends. I should be spending more time with other people than I am with some others. I am really looking forward to driving 5 Mile drive; the leaves must be nicely browned. If only gas was cheaper, and I had a smaller car. In a related story: I got the bike running, and I am begining to train myself to ride it. I want to get my motorcycle endorsement before I leave. That means I need to ride everywhere to prepare for it. If I get my endorsement here, I should be able to get one in Japan easily. I would like to get a bike there. Gas is pricy, and I play fast and loose with death as a matter of course. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps...

So here is a scary factoid for today. Were you aware that the Chinese level of saving is equal to fifty percent of the overal Chinese GDP? For every one hundred dollars in China fifty will be saved. Oh well, that's ok. We'll just borrow more money from them to catch up! Wait a minute...

Myspace

Jeez: I put an add up on myspace because a friend wanted me to, and I have been deluged by emails asking to add me as a friend, and then some that were quite rude. Apparently I have aged beyond the socially accepted age for using the service! I have like four bald jokes and two general old jokes. All of them were pathetic-like, "your bald." Jeez, did you come up with that yourself, or did someone help you? I added all the hot chicks, and deleted the rest. I should have added the lot of them, but I was overwhelmed with the volume-well over a hundred or em. Value judgement; myspace sucks.

SHALZBOT!

Name that classic American situational comedy! Today I have begun shopping for my Japan flight. My Nov 9 date is as firm as I can get it, and my "happy happy joy joy" feelings about leaving at that time are growing. Tick tock tick tock... I am in Seattle at the lesser Zoka, but Travis is working so I get the good grub cheap! Real cheap today, actually. I am heading back to that girls house for lunch. I feel bad about leaving her here. She is a wonderful women. Everything most men think Asian women are. Kind, sweet, gentle, and devoutly concerned with taking care of her man in her socially assigned fashion. I had never had a women who could cook, and now I have one who won't let me cook or clean up. She gets seriously mad when I try! All that and she is cute, and smart. Go figur. So anyway, PREPARE TO MARCH!!!


R~R

South Sound what up?

Nothing much as usual. I am sitting in my mediocre coffee shop finishing off a bran muffin. They don't have proper scones here, but rather the Fair kind with rasberry jelly. Great, but four bites at most! Oh well, it is coffee and Wifi. The coffee isn't bad, actually. I am heading to Goodwill next to look for a lightly worn suit. I need one more suit, as pimpy as my present one already is!
Sent in what I hope, again, will be my last batch of paperwork to NOVA yesterday. I would love to regail you with the subject of that paperwork, but I can not bring myself to mention it again. It is no wonder the Japanese economy is stagnant. Anal retentive freaks. So, if all goes well I will be in Japan November 10-exactly 230 years from the birth of the Marine Corps. If I could pull that off, I will give a big sigh of relief, and seek sushi immediatley.
I am getting good service at coffee today. I got a haircut last night, and I am dressed up a bit in my brown gaberdines and black Bannana Republic shirt. The barista walked my reciept to the table for me, and just now picked up my used dishes. Not unusually good service, but a bit better than average.
So anyway, I hope all is well with you-whomever you are!

SUP?

Just saying hello to everyone. R

Tuesday in Puyallup

So I am chilling at a crappy coffees shop with crappy coffee here in good old Puyallup. It took me an hour to find even this sorry excuse for a shop, and the only reason I am here is the WiFi access! I am still waiting on my visa application to be processed for Japan. I am going to work for Nova-hopefully in November. I don't know where I am going, but it should be near Osaka. I hope. Either way-good or ill, I only have to work for Nova for one year. After that I can do as I want; where I want. Mike wants me to go to Hyogo, but I am not going to bother getting to specific with Nova. I just want to be anywhere in the Kansai region, and I will consider myself lucky to get that. Hopefully I will get a dinky little fishing or farming village with an OK coffee shop. If I end up in a big city it better have a good university-cause I only date girls with advanced degrees (and a nice round figure). I know this is a tough order to fill, but a guy has to have standards. Why go back for seconds on a dish you didn't like the first time? Been there, done that, threw that friggin t-shirt in the damn river to float away forever.

So anyway, enough about that-lets talk about me...Ray~Ray. I am so great-na na na! My favorite Dave Matthews song is on the radio. Grace is gone. If that don't make you want to bask in the light of a neon moon nothing will. I think sadness is a wonderful thing. It creates us. who ever heard of a happy wirter writing anything worth reading? Happy writers are called advertising executives. Anyway, I am through rambling along. Hope everyone is doing well. Word to your momma.
