BLAM!! suckas!

Went to get in touch with my inner militia man at BLAM!! in tokorozawa.

group shot!


i have welts all over, especially on my hands, arms and head from where i got tagged. those little pellets HURT!!!! chris tagged me in the ass TWICE! even though we were on the same team for a few rounds. it was a bit scary in the begining but as the day wore on, we got better and were having more fun. and i have noticed at 30 that the scars are NOT healing as quickly as they used to. but made some new friends and had a great time. may have to buy my own gun as my birthday present to myself this year . . .

i love a great burger and my city has quite a few gourmet burger joints.  two of them have opened up near my place and there are apparently heaps of little places all over the city.  i've been loving oatman's for a while now but this place, called East Village, kicks ass as well:



always with my partner in crime:


Delish!

Welcome back Kane! (AKA the Yamanote Drink-a-thon)

good buddy from Oz, Kane, brought his ass back to japan with his little bro and a few of his friends.  didn't get to see much of him, but joined him and about 20 of his friends for the yamanote line drink-a-thon.  for those of you who are unaccustomed to my city, the yamanote line is a train line that does a big loop around the city.  idiot foreigners like to try to walk the entire loop and have a drink at each station (there are 31 stations).  i joined them at shinjuku where the party was already well under way:














i made it to harajuku but punked out and went home.  it was fun guys!
