Hey Kirb, Yesterday it was a bright an sunny day. I drove down to check the waves at that little ‘shima’ that you can see from my place. All the sudden I look up and there is this massive black cloud above me that is starting to swirl (I thought). I was getting a wierd vibe so I quickly headed back home. As I returned there was some announcement over the ‘town speakers’ for everyone to stay indoors that a tournado had been spotted (in that location) Hide ran to the window and looked out and sure enough not one but two twisters were coming over the mountain from the ocean..less than a kilometer away!!!! Luckily they went back out to the ocean and lost intensisty and quickly deminished! Unbenownst to me, I was sitting right under those f@#$@@ while they were forming.. taking pictures like an uniformed goon!!!!! I was freaked out for like and hour! Check out these photos, I can’t beleive its Japan!!



**and last, this past summer, i went to surf queen’s with my sister, brother, and 2 nieces. it’s so cool to share something so cool as surfing with your family. can’t beat the feeling. and can’t beat the happy faces. happy faces that surfing brings out… check out this 2 hours session slideshow. by the way, this is another one of my favorite jason mraz songs. peace[:?????$B!x(B???:]

The Colors of Thai…

the food. i don’t know what the heck this is but it looked cool…
