So I'm in Okazaki, which is in Aichi Prefecture just east of Nagoya, visiting an old friend from St. Pete, Colin. It's kinda funny cuz when we were in high school, we TOTALLY hated each other! Now it's really quite cool, he's come here to study Japanese intensively for 3 months, and has already found a job that will allow him to get a work...

Sometimes you just get tired of the single life. *sigh*

hee hee ! Im back! 
K, got this off of shadowsgirl's journal, just had to give it some use. It also mirrors my current feelings about life now, having three hyperactive bunnies (not the playboy kind) in charge.
First, teaching. I have the best fucking schedule this term. Period. Only 4 days a week! I want to change that cuz I need more , but even so, I make quite...

Hey all we are approaching Oct 31st. Just to update you were we stand right now, the date has been changed from Oct30th to Oct 31st, 10pm East Coast Time/7pm West Coast Time. There are a couple people not on this list who from Germany and Japan who may also take part depending if they can be fuctional during the time this takes place.
I have attached some sample pics on this email. These pictures are examples of what i have in mind, but i am leaving it in your hands to use your own skills and abilities. Each of you needs a game plan heading into this, you *should know where your starting and ending point is going to be. For example i plan to start at a bar called the Rock House, where a band i know is playing, walk down a conservation path that is just below Main Street then walk back up Main Street. Take natural/candid shots capturing things in their element, whether being people or environment. If you happen to be drinking a beer, take a picture of the beer your drinking. Capture the environment and key in on the details.
Say if you are in a city and you take pictures at one place, you may want to hoop on a street car. Take pictures of the Street Car or bus coming towards you, as you are stepping onto the bus, riding in the bus, people on the bus, getting off the bus....I was looking at some Andy Warhol candid pictures last night, he definetly had a different way at looking at the world and keying in on the details. I recommend you look at something like a Warhol photoset, but remeber this will be your photo set not some rip off...
I think that using black and white film would be a good way of creating unity when bringing all of these pictures together. All though i could alter the pictures in photoshop to black and white and make minor changes, i'm not sure if i want to tamper with your work and just leave it in your hands. Using the effect of black and white and then leaving something ie. that girl with the red dress from Shindler's list.
I feel like I'm starting to ramble. OK, each one of you let me know your intended locations for your photoset. Give me some feedback if you think using black and white film would be more effective.
**** ohhh yes we are going to have to "synchronise our watches" to get the timeline right****I will find a site on the internet that we will base our time on and we I will email you in the next couple of days so that we synchronise.
A.S.A.P

Fits of intelligence are nice aye, 40 gig of uninterupted stereophonic bliss... go ahead try and fill it up then listen to every song non-stop with no interuptions (yes this includes sleep too). You will be a better person for it. I recomend high quality head phones in the tatami room in the lotus position. An audiophiles vision quest. I took leave and lasted for 4 days before having to venture out for sustinance. What a strange world it was, sleep dep rules.

I am going through all my music and I am going to build a post apoclyptic play list, all the songs that go with the end of the world as we know it. Then I am going to fly back to the states and go live in a hole in the ground out in the middle of no where Nevada and bake my brain under the tin roof eating nothing but canned goods (including dog food) and scrounging for gasoline for the big-ass V-8 Ford Torino I am going to buy and wait for the Mad Max to become my reality, but Judas Priest Turbo Lover will definatlly be one of the songs that makes the cut and I will become the Road Warrior!
