coming of age day

January 9th was monday, the day of coming of age. I was already 20, so this year was my year to attend the ceremony. I had no intention to attend the ceremony in the first place. So, I went to work. Me and my friend Diago are both 20 but neither of us didnt go and instead worked together. Diago's wife and her friend didnt go, so I really thought it was no big deal. What was funny is that all of us think that the ceremony is just a "comercial" thing. Its all about money. Besides I didnt really want to meet anybody either. At work I heaard from my superior that on this coming of age day, there is a person who puts the kimono together at love hotels. I wondered why? but the reason was because it is impossible to wear a kimono by self. After work I went home and everybody was eating something. They said it was special, but to me it wasnt, and even though it was crab. It was a very low rank crab. They just couldnt fool my tongue.

Ahappy new year

Since the 30th Ive been having a lot of fun. I went to my friends house on the 30th and had a end of year pizza party. we stayed up until about 3:00. I went home at about 12:00 on the 31st. And on the 31st, I went to my Grand mothers house. We ate a cake and had a lot of sake. My cousin was playing the game bio hazard 3. During the end of the year I was watching him play the game. before i slept i drank a lot of jin. we made a screwdriver and moscowmule and drank it streight. I slept at around 1:30. But during my sleep a few mails woke me up from my celphone. On the first, I went out to kobe and gathered with my friends and went bowling, and drinking at night. The 2nd day I went shopping for some electirc parts for my room. the 3rd day too i went out to go shopping with my friend. there was a lot of people and was so frustrating. The forth day, yesterday, my friend kidnapped me and I had to go to a slot store. there i spent a lot of my money, I was very sad. i think i already had all my fun for the year.

End of year party

Yesterday I had a End of year party with the members of my tennis club I am in at my home town. Most of the members are much much older than I. I drank four cups of beer, and four cups of plum wine(umeshu) wich are all different types. Two were from Kagoshima, and two were from maybe Saga. I drank a cup of Lime liquer. All in an hour. I ate nabe with crab, but since I dont really like crab that much I gave it to someone. I ate the meat, and fish and vegetables instead. The fish was very tastey. Other than nabe, there was nama ham, chigimi. The ham was very delicious without the sauce, The chigimi, wich is some type of korean pizza kind of food was very hot. Fried chicken was served too and it had a safe taste. In the end I was dizzy and threw up in the restroom. I am not really sure how I managed to go home. this season with a lot of drinking parties we need to at least be careful and leave some room in ourselves to get home.

C.O.L.D.?

Since yesterday I have a strange voice. Though, I feel completely perfect. My friends are making fun of my voice. Saying that if I am going to be a voice artist, one of those with a rusty sound. Maybe this voice is from the too much drinking from the year end party. I drank alot and threw up and was dizzy. I hope this is just a short time temporary thing. because I cant shout or speak in a loud voice. If this is the change of voice I will be really dissatisfied in myself.

Nabe

I had a nabe party with hiroyuki and hiroki two days ago at hiroyuki's house. It was a kimuti nabe. It was very delicious. We all had to fight for the meat, chicken and beef. My favorite nabe ingridient is tofu. The kimuti sank into the tofu and it was very tasty. There was alot of hakusai in the nabe. I drank three cans of alchhol. The nabe warmed us, wished the nabe would warm my heart too. After we ate all the nabe, we went to sentou, japanese spa. there was a electric spa. I t really hurt my back. It was really stunnning. We slept around three. We ate zousui, in the morning. It was very delicious. It was truly a case of killing two birds with one stone.

This season I really hate.

The season I really hate coming soon. Its X-mas. Yes, everyone can guess why. All this event makes me miserable. In Japan this day is for lovers. but in other countries, its supposed to be a family thing. To a loner like me I cant even go outside. I introduce all the people feelin like me this song.
"Deck The Halls (I Hate Christmas) by Zebrahead
(verse1) Its time for everybody to have a christmas party. Everyone but me I'll step outside Boycott your office party. No secret Santa for me. Mistletoe makes me sneeze anyway. Cos I don't wanna go, where happy days are snow I'd rather stay where Frosty melts in the sun. July 4 parade. A Lynchburg lemonade. An alcohol-a-day by the pool in the sun (now everybody sing).
[Chorus] Deck the halls with bells of holly 'Tis the season to be jolly but, I hate Christmas I'm glad it only comes one time a year
(verse2)Its time for everybody to head out Christmas shopping. Everyone but me I'll stay inside. No presents under your tree that have a nametag for me. And it makes my gifts so easy to hide I don't wanna go where shopping lines are slow. I rather stay at home with the frosty cold one. A bud on ice in may, a lazy summer day. An alcohol-a-day by the pool in the sun (now everybody sing) .
[Chorus repeat]
[Rap] It was the night before Christmas and all through the house, All the creatures was chillin like Flint drinkin stout. I woke from my sleep, heard 'here comes the boom'. I knew that Santa would be comin' soon. On Dascher on Donner, Commit, on Blitzen. I yelled 'shut up ya'll,' but they wouldn't listen. And then he came down with his belly of jello. He says, 'where the ladies at cuz I'm a real jolly fellow.' Then he gave me a wink and was quick out of sight. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a super deeky duper fly night.
[Chorus repeat](now everyone - sing) (one more time, like you mean it)
[Chorus repeat] Cos I hate Christmas I'm glad it only comes one time a year Cos I hate Christmas I'm glad it only comes one time a year

Yes, Im glad it comes only once. ofcourse im stayin inside my house locking my self in my room. I dont want my friends to see me as a loser on this unfair holiday.

The Onsenn -battle of sauna-

I went to Onsenn near my house with my friend a few days ago. I washed myself and there he was. The hot steaming sauna, just waiting for me to challenge him. He is very powerfull and strong many people challeng him and fail. The sand glass was just waiting for me to turn over. Last time I lost in just 3-4 minutes. But this time i felt I was ready. The first battle was about 3 minutes and lost again. After a short break, 2nd round, five minutes and the sand glass empty. 3rd round was about 8 minutes. My goal is to turn the sand glass 3 times. but after about ten fights I gave up. i lost the battle. twice is easy but, 3 is a big challenge. There is this invisible wall that is pushing me out the door. I just couldnt stand the temptation to go out. But, next time, just wait until next time, Im gonna beat him.

gutter and gutter

yesterday I went bowling with Hiroyuki and Taiji. It was pretty cool in the begining cause i had a strike. I thought it would stay good, but as the title is gutter, I had a lot of them. Im not really good at bowling. My highest score was 105. Its not very bad or good just plain, what my friend said today. After 2 games of trying hard, 3rd game I started ro play. I was using 14 pound ball, but I switched to an 7pound ball. It was very light like an soccer ball or something. i slammed the pins. What was funny is that I had two or more strikes and spairs. Overal I had a very good time. Maybe I might consider going again very soon.

time

It has been some long time since I havent been to work. slightly my back has started to ache. It may be because I havent had much exercise. I went to work today, It has been 3 weeks since I went to work last. It has been a long time no see to my co-workers. I worked for a lot of hours on the roof. it was some thing apiece of me. I t was like finding myself again. the view from the roof might be the best sight. I think I have longed to see this sight for a long time. it was just fabulous to look down on earth. but today was very dangerous. i almost fell from the roof. it was the next day after heavy rain. the ground was slippery. i slipped many times. but this thril I may not forget. facing a big accident by my side I felt i was alive during work all the time. Today was a very good day.
