Well, I finally broke down and bought a desk today. I went yesterday to look at some, but due to various issues such as delivery and price, etc…. I decided to wait one more day….
Then,
Today, my friend took me and I bought a used desk at a “recycle store” as they are called here in Japan and I was able to buy one for about $15 USD.
So, I’m happily sitting in front of it right now as I write this journal entry.
Talk to you soon.

I rode a train early this morning to a nearby town and then walked for about 20 minutes to a preschool, one that my son goes to.
Today was “whatchamacallit” day.
You know.. the day where all the parents come and watch the little kids dance and sing.
Anyway, my kid was the best.

Well, I can’t complain.
Some team had to win. Of course I wanted it to be my Colts and the worlds number 1 quarterback Peyton Manning, but “NO.”
I’m only hoping that they have the attitude of winning next year and so on.

I’ve been wondering for some time now……
Ya know how hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans about 5 years ago or so….I’m not counting……
Anyway….. people have been wanting a win for them so much for so long…..
….
But, interestingly the Saints will go to the Superbowl for the first time in ( I think History )…..
… but thoughts of professional boxing come into mind about corruption…….
It seems like such a coincidence that the Saints would go to battle with the great Colts ….. and if they win… it would seem like potential foul play could be involved….
What’s your opinion….
Please leave a comment.

I’m sitting here right now, trading on Forex, making money.
Have I told you, I want to become a professional trader?
Anyway, YES I DO !
I just wanted to update you on what I was doing.
Maybe I should use twitter more.
By the way, can anyone give me a sales pitch on Twitter?

I’ve been lugging some old pictures albums around with me for years. I’ve also been waiting for a good opportunity to scan the images and keep a digital copy of them.
Well, I have finally done so. At least for about 1/3 to 1/2 of the photos.
Today, I scanned about 100 photos I’d say.
These photos range from 2 years before I was born until about 10 years ago.
I’ll try and pick some good ones and post them up here. Until then, Here is a baby pic of me.

Yesterday, I dropped by the Softbank store to add an iPhone to my Softbank account, but was denied. So, today, I dropped by the DOCOMO store to look at the single Android (Google) phone they carry.
I wasn’t really intereseted in that phone, 1 because it was a tad bit small and two, it has a somewhat older version of Android on it.
But, the guy in the store gave me a pamphlet of the Android based XPERIA phone from Sony Ericcson and it looks pretty sweet. He gave me a pamphlet because Docomo doesn’t actually carry the phone yet.
So, I can expect to get it around April sometime, which will be right around the time my current contract ends with Softbank.
Yipee

Today I went to apply for a new contract with Softbank, a cell phone company.
I picked out a phone, asked all my questions, got my hopes up and in the end, I was told by the person working in the store that I was not approved to get the account to use the iPhone.
I was a little bit shocked. But, I have lived in Japan for quite some time now, so I wasn’t *that* shocked.
But, what is a little disturbing about living in Japan is that companies are not (apparently) required by law to inform you as to the reason why you were declined or rejected.
So, tonight I have been looking at a Google phone (android) from Docomo here in Japan. I’ll go tomorrow and see if I can get that phone and service.
The thing that really bothers me is that I’m already a customer of Softbank which offers the iPhone and they have declined me. I have made all of my payments, etc.
I don’t understand.
Anyway, I like Google better. So, let’s try Docomo!!

I’m sitting at home, drinking some shouchuu and playing FX.
Did I tell you yet that I love forex. Hahahahah. Yes I did, didn’t I.
Anyway I love it. It’s like a video game for grown ups.
If you haven’t tried it, you should. It doesn’t take a lot to get started and you can make money (or lose money) every minute. But, it’s fun.
I’m watching my charts as I type. “c’mon down, c’mon down !!!”
Anyway, have a good day.
Oh…..***** it just climbed up…I better go!

On my way home last night from Akita, I took a detour and went to pick up my daughter. She’s here with me now and she’s getting antsy because she wants to do something and I’m writing this blog, so I’m going to cut it short. Talk to you later.
