May 2004 - This is me during our visit to Iraq. Hahaha... just kidding, y'all. This is the Arabic section of Tokyo Disney Sea.

12 June 2004

Let me update you on what has been happening in the past month. Well, I left my old job, and I got a new job. I'm working as an English teacher at a high school! It's definitely more interesting than my old job. I'm the only foreign teacher in the high school, and the students love me just for that fact. It's cool to be in a Japanese working environment. But let me tell you... it's not easy teaching high school.

In other news, I got a new working visa, so I'm set here in Japan for the next few years. Things are looking pretty good right now.

April 2004 - Here's a picture of me at a local temple during cherry blossom season. 

This is me on a train in Japan sometime in 2003. 

Welcome to My World

Hey everyone, welcome to my blog! Basically, this is a website that I can easily update and share with you what's going on in my life. There's not much here yet, but as time goes on, I hope that this page will bloom to life. So please, be patient!

Just a couple of disclaimers:
(1) My parents, grandmother, and other family members see this blog, so I'll keep it clean (no 4-letter words, etc.). Please do the same with your comments.
(2) I talk about my girlfriend a lot, but she doesn't want her name to be mentioned on the internet. (Maybe she's embarrassed to be mentioned along with me... can't blame her.) Therefore, she will only be called "my girlfriend" here. If you know her name, don't mention it here, either. Also, if you know me very well and you don't want your name to be mentioned here, drop me a line and say so.

Talk to you later.
