ER has been a top series on NBC for years now. i haven’t watched it before but know a lot of people hooked on it. anyway, the reason why i’m talking about a show i’ve never seen before is because my cousin wrote the story and script for an upcoming ER show. it airs april 17th on NBC and that’s going to be the first ER i will ever watch. i hope i don’t get hooked because i’m the kind of person that will stay home all day and watch the whole series on dvd. haha… but just wanted to say congratulations to my cousin Shannon Goss for such a big accomplishment. that’s pretty awesome….

**check out this short clip i took last year in april here in japan. matchi and i were driving around the japan sea area doing promotions for tssc. it went from perfect cool weather to cold snow in a flash. the temperature was 1 degree and it started snowing. the worst thing about the situation is we were driving to the beach to go surf. i had a 3mm wetsuit with no boots or gloves. i remember sitting in the car freezing my ass off and everybody was trying to get me to go surf. shit, there was even snow on the beach. i guess it’s normal for surfers here because everybody went surfing. so felt like i had too. i remember walking on the beach and my feet were numb. then when i paddled out, i thought my head was going to fall off. talk about ice cream headaches. oh my gosh…. i surfed for 30 minutes in freezing cold water, rain, wind, and snow. that was my first time… and my last…. it wasn’t fun at all for me. but at least i gave it a try….

good morning. wow, i actually woke up at 4:30am. i guess my jet lag is getting much better. it’s another cold day here but the weather man said it’s going to get warmer from now. i hope he’s right. anyway, gotta pack and get ready for a long road trip that starts today….

i checked out the new surf1st and there was a spread in the front of an underwater photo u-ske took. i know u-ske knew that was me because he sent me that photo that same day he took it. surf1st probably didn’t know but who cares. that’s such a cool photo. this one is going in the front page of my portfolio. thanks a lot u-ske….

also wanted to thank akko for making me and the boys such a nice breakfast yesterday. ham, egg, and cheese sandwich. it was awesome. and the nabe/sushi dinner party last night was awesome too. i’m still full….

i had lunch with nao in kugenuma yesterday. this girl is going to get famous. or she already is. check out her article in the new surfer girls magazine that came out in japan. i wish her the best…. and wanted to say thanks for showing me that awesome restaurant. and thanks for the oishi cake you made… nao’s uncut video interview coming soon on go-naminori. also check out nao’s blog by CLICKING HERE….

i ate the maguro donburi with yamaimo and okura over rice. oh my gosh…. i’ve been in japan for only 3 days and i gained 8lbs. 8 happy pounds….

this is the spot. it’s on the back road of of kugenuma that runs parallel with route 134. good healthy lunch and awesome french desert…..
**anyway, i’m off to narita airport now to pick up tony and seth. they should be here this afternoon. i hope they brought jackets because it’s freezing… we will be on the road driving thru japan ending up in shikoku. it’s going to be long drives but it’s all good when your having fun. have a nice day and see ya later.. by the way, got some waves in shonan. chest high and clean. hope we can get an evening session in….
