NO!

OK I've held off for a while now, but I cant handle it anymore.

FUCK THESE SANDLE/SHOE PIECES OF SHIT!!!!!!!!

They are infesting everywhere!! why do people not realise that they look totally retarded? ive heard over and over about how light and comfortable they are, well ok, purple velour tracksuits are comfortable, but u dont see me walking around town in them do you???

Dude got flows

I wanna rap about kebabs like this dude, he rules

Parties on roofs are cool

So, I just had a little bit of a party on the roof of my apartment, it was SUPER RAD fun times!!!

basically the reason was cos there was a MASSIVE (like HUUUUGE) fireworks show by the river, and my apartement just happens to be in close proximity to the river, SO, i figured, lets cook yakiniku and drink beer and watch fireworks (on a roof!!!)!!! if thats not a recipe for funtimes then i dont know what is....

i cooked rice NZ style (NO rice cooker (OMG!!!) just in a pot) and it was awesome!!!! and we had mad heaps of meat and mystery meat (i forget the japanese word....) and watched AMAZING fireworks. we had a badass viewing spot

after all my friendos had left some other peeps invited me to join them so of course i did, i got to witness some cool japanese acoustic singing and this cool version of eric claptons tears in heavem, i thought he sung it quite well dont you (note the dude singing didnt speak english AT ALL)?? reminds me of nick or sean playing guitar when they are almost too drunk to play.... good times....

also for some reason my camera didnt want to focus tonight, so you get some chotto blurry photos. FOCK!!! also the photos do not show how awesome the fireworks are, think, the best fireworks you have seen in NZ and multiply that by at least 25!!!

ps. I feel like an eggs benedict.........from the packing shed.......

Awesome

just fricking awesome....

"there are 40 million sheep in NZ and they're pissed...."

Soumen Nagashi

Soumen Nagashi = Noodle Waterslide

weeeeee!!!

So attacks the flowing soumen

Trinh and Saeko attack!

Taiko - Sunday

So, anyways, as you know, I was involved in the Kokura Taiko Gion festival which was rad as. here is some photos/videos from the last day. whereas saturday was the serious, go drum infront of the temple kind of day, sunday I was informed was the "freestyle/crazy/fight" day where u could do whatever u wanted and get nice and toasted drinking beer and sake on the streets of Kokura, it was the funnest thing EVER!!! some of our team had masks and stuff and even a Dragon Ball scouter! other dudes in other teams were dressed as power rangers, spiderman, drag queens, amongst others.

1. 2.

(1. ready to go, in my Hapi oustide So's families house. 2. drumming in masks is gangsta!)

3. 4.

(3. I am Vegeta. 4. Fun times.)

Me drumming......looks kinda weird....maybe cos I'm drumming fast...I prob look better drumming slower......(embarassed)

5. 6.

(5. Its a family affair... 6. I caught the Shinkansen still in all my Taiko gear, I rule.)

After the main part of the day, again we went back to the clubhouse and had some food and then a bunch of us took a drum in the beer cart and went back into town, this was where the real madness was, just heaps of peeps drumming hardout EVERYWHERE!!! we set up on the same corner and then another group came and set up with us and we ended up having a massive 3 drum thingy going on. I cant even begin to describe how much fun this was, even not drumming is awesome fun, everyone kinda dances by the dudes drumming encouraging them and chanting "ayasayasayasayasa!!!!" and stuff, i soon learnt how to do the chants and i was jumping around chanting and dancing and drumming with everyone else. The way in which everyone gets a turn at drumming is quite cool, basically if I wanted to drum I justgo up to the dude drumming and motion to him that im gonna take over and then he moves out of the way, OR the fun way is to just push the dude outta the way and start drumming! There is no set time u can drum for, sometimes i would be drumming for about 2-3 mins and then other times i would only be on for 20 seconds before being bumped. No one gets annoyed for being bumped or anything, its all part of the fun. Hopefully you can get some idea from this shorrt video.

I have to say it is definitly in the top 5 things ive done in my life (probably #1 actually) and I'm already thinking about a trip to Japan next year so i could do it again....but prob not.... but hey I hear there is a Taiko group in NZ! yey!

I remember the 90's.....

just thought Id share....



I grew up in the nineties, it feels kinda weird being nostalgic about it, i cant believe it was over ten years ago (1992-I was 12)that i was going to the Bruce McLaren Intermediate school ball and dancing to stuff like this.....

Ive toured around the world, from London to the Bay

Something, grabs a hold of me tightly, flows like a heart beat daily and nightly

fresh prince was the shit

the cops cruised by lookin for the booze, but what we had was plain and simply apple juice

we be to rap like key be to lock

come on, like u didnt dance to this at your high school social!

haha 5ive, one of their dudes was called "Abs", Nick, Paul, Dom etc, do you remember being taught by some girls at tawaharanui how to do the dance to If you got the feelin? the big guys raps are tight!!
