good evening. well, tomorrow is the day. going to head to the airport. a long 9 hour flight to osaka but going to take that time to sink in everything that’s been happening. when i was a kid, my mom use to always tell me “kirby, don’t waste your food, there are people starving in this world.” at that time, i didn’t get it. now, i do. every grain of rice means much more to me now, just like every second of the day, and every breath i take. i really appreciate my life a lot more and am grateful for all the wonderful supportive people around me. last night, i went to celebrate my best friend holli’s birthday party. i needed to get out of my house, i needed to get away from the calls and emails, i just needed to be with my close friends for an evening. as usual, we have a great time and a great talk. when it was time to go, holli gave me the biggest hug she’s ever did since i’ve known her. it felt so dam good and didn’t want to let go. i felt the love and support without any words being exchanged. now, i’m going to take that big hug with me to japan and spread some aloha. shit, this is getting emotional, i better get going….
