good evening. spent the whole day, or should i say, the past 2 weeks working on my taxes. it’s an annual event that every american must do. yeah, it sucks but if you don’t do it, you’ll end up in jail. so after sorting out the receipts that i can’t read because it’s in japanese, i finally have space to walk in my house. a few more days, then i’m done…. i had to get wet so i went to jump in at bowls this morning. paddled out, caught 4 waves, and paddled back in. my hair didn’t even get wet. and it was freaking cold. seen jeannie chesser and toru-san on the way out and they told me it was freezing. they weren’t lying. it was cold…. came back home and pressed buttons in my calculator all day. after i’m done with my taxes, i’m going to have a big party. an after tax party…. well, got to get back to the calculator. see ya….

\noh, check out the deck we built yesterday. we used all old wood sitting around the house so it didn’t cost us anything. just a few arguments is about it. but that’s normal around here….
\n**and check out this clip of big game fishing in the mentawai islands, north sumatra, indonesia. this was a TSSC\/DOVE surf trip back in 2003. all of us were good friends and gosh, we had a good time. perfect HT’s with nobody around. and to top it off, our big fish… this was my second time to the mentawai’s so i took everything. my surfing stuff, diving stuff, and fishing stuff. my bags must have weighted a ton. i bought this penn 9.0 reel and pole all the way from hawaii. and the lure i used was made by my friend derek kiyota. i fished the whole trip and didn’t get one bite. then it was on the way back to padang on our last day when it hit. i was down on my bed reading my maxim magazine when i heard the boat come to a stop and everybody yelling outside. i ran up and seen my line going out. game on…. check out the action and all the excitement from all the boys. matsuo took the video and is talking. and everybody else is yelling their heads off, including me. something i will NEVER FORGET…..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
