WHATS BEEN GOING ON?

Been super MIA, missing in action, but hey I will get back into the routine of things soon. Guess I have to do updates back from summer. Well anyways here is the quick wrap up. At the end of the school year it was sad to see the kids and teachers for one last time. It was a super great 3 years on the JET program, would definetly recommend it to anyone. Also it was good times with friends in Tatsuno, everyone here has been so nice. Moved back to the summer, chilled at Ace's, nothing like living by Greenlake and eating good food. Caught up with alot of good friends over drinks, or foods, and still missed some other friends, but don't worry I will be back so we can hang out again. Stopped by cali to visit Seila and hook up with my old seattle buddys. Nice house Edgar! Also had our JET reunion with Kristine, Aaron, and Tina. Nothing like reliving sushi and karaoke. Saw the folks in Spokane, nice to see the roots and hang out with them, even though they nag ya, you still have to love them. Found out alot more about my dad, its always nice to sit down and talk with them. Lost some stuff at the SF airport, luckily it popped back up. Caught up with the old roomies Ark and Thao, amazing what cold turkey can do for ya, good job boys. Headed back to Japan, through Tokyo, came back and thought it wasn't the same. Maybe it was being homeless, maybe I missed Tatsuno and not Japan, but luckily I had alot of good friends to help me along the way. Ayame and Mike being folks housed me so I wouldnt have to live on the streets. New school started in Nishinomiya, called Kobu Junior High School. Everyones super nice, great kids, nice teachers, and the school has AC throughout the school! super rare! Survived a 2 hour commute in the morning and another 2 hour commute back, so 4 fucking hours! Just got the new home finally, happy to moving near my school and just relaxing. Because I got no money, there will be alot of relaxing going on. 20 minutes to Kobe or 20 minutes to Umeda, Osaka, the location is great to get to the city. Also it was nice to catch up with the Japanese moms that I have, Noriko san and Ogawa sensei, they are always so nice to help me out. Slowly things are getting better in Japan. Hopefully when my internet gets up at my new pad, things will be good to go. Peace out until then!
