Hello, how are you?

Hey, how's it going? Still breathing here, hehehe. Anyway, yes, it has been a long while since the last post. Been busy with a few things, if not a whole lot of stuff...yeah, a whole lot of stuff. But who isn't? I'm not complaining, I like keeping busy. But I do miss podcasting that's for sure. And that's why I'm preparing some new episodes. Yes new ones! When will it come out? Hopefully, soon. Time management...well, need to work on that. 

So what's up? Well, recently, I went to Japan this past spring break (woo hoo!). It was excellent. Went and got to hang out with a bunch of my best buds and just cruised. Drank everyday, ate some tasty meals, and cruised. That's all I really cared about doing. Can't do it that much these days. Oh and a bunch of record shopping, not a whole lot, but I got some done :-D Tower Records is still up and running. It was pretty amazing. Picked up an EP by a band called, Angry Frog Rebirth. I have no idea what that name means, but I love it. Picked up a bunch of other titles too that I'll share some other time. 
Also stopped by Okinawa for a day and some change. Really chill there. 
It seems like a fast paced kind of life in the city. Very active. I don't think I can ride the train every day. It felt as if everything was still moving after getting off the train lol. Definitely experienced some new things there. Ask me about sometime if you want to know more :-D
Picture
This is a club me and my friend went to. We caught the last train out at about 12:30 am and we decided it'd be better just to stay out till the station reopened at 5:00 am instead of taking a cab home. Thank god for vodka redbulls, but I didn't go to sleep until 10:30 because of them. Good times. Later during the night at the club, my friend points out this dude in the crowd and asks me if that's Macklemore. I couldn't tell you for the life of me if it was or wasn't, nor could I name any of his songs. Every person I've told this story to know's who he is. I need to listen to the radio more. But anyway, turns out it was him. My friend confirmed it because it turns out he was performing in Tokyo later that week. I saw Macklemore at the club. yup.
Picture
I eat sushi. I love sushi. And because of sushi, I love raw fish too. Especially raw tuna and salmon. I love it. But it has to be prepared in a certain way, I won't eat it straight from the ocean, that's just gross. But this picture is not of raw fish. It's raw horse. I think raw chicken was on the menu too, but my friends won't cross some lines. But for this, I soaked the meat in soy sauce and closed my eyes and tried not to think about the taste. Then I ate a second piece straight. Raw meat tastes like raw meat, I think, regardless of species. It didn't taste like raw fish, that's for sure. This meal made the trip complete.

Wanna see more pics? IG: @thisisohno
I picked up a copy of this lp at Disk Union in Shinjuku. I had no idea what to expect and actually picked up it up only because it was fairly cheap. Really happy with it :-D.
