good morning. 6:30 am and the waves in town came up a little. 2′ at bowls and ala moana park. yeah!! see you out there!!!
tokura-san, naoka, and i stopped by the golf store yesterday. we grabbed clubs and tested it out. it felt pretty dam good killing a little white ball… check out tokura-san’s 200 yard drive…
i was impressed by naoka’s golf swing. i think it’s about time to hit the golf course….
there are 2 reasons why i quit golf….
first, when i first started the game, i told myself that the day i get a “hole in one” is the day i quit. i did it so i quit…
second, it cost too much money. imagine paying $1,399.99 for a set of irons? the add in $1,000 for drivers, $100 for shoes, $100 for gloves, balls and tees, and thousands for green fees? and $3.50 for each spam musubi and $15 for a 12 pack of beers each time? things keep on adding up and if you golf everyday like i use to, you can go bankrupt in months… i’m glad i quit because if i didn’t, i’d be homeless….
after all the emails i got telling me how stupid i was not to know who furuta-san was, i have one thing to say. “I’m Sorry.” i even told him personally last night that i was sorry for not recognizing him. yeah, i feel embarrassed. throughout the triathlon, all i was looking for was #27 on an arm because that’s what number he was. but from today on, i know who furuta-san is. i could pick him out in a lineup of a million people….
and last, i miss traveling already. i’ve only been back for 2 weeks but i miss exploring this world. eating weird things and seeing weird things is pretty cool. people ask me what i eat when go to countries like malaysia, philippines, indonesia, or africa. my answer is “i don’t know but it taste good.”
**last, wanted to thank nao-san for inviting me to dinner last night. i met some really cool triathletes and even a japanese comedian. stay tuned for photos…
