le dog shows me how to shed 30lbs in 3 hours

I left San francisco with 1 large bag and 1 small guy with my sleeping bag know karen would know exactly what I could loose for my trip. I had already dropped 5lbs on th car ride with Campbell but knew this would not cut it. Karen made me carry all my crap up her one flight of stairs and I kinda wanted to die. After melissa hands me 2 beers I'm ready to say goodbye for now to some of my favorite pieces. Although I swear I'm not gonna shop(cuz I'd rather be drinking), karen is able to talk me down to 2 small bags and my sleeping bag. Karen weighed what we had dropped and it was 30 mother fucking pounds. I know I'm gonna get a work out with what I'm toteing now but I can't imagine having the other stuff as well. So here it is. I'm at the boarding gate about to make a life long dream come true. Thanks scott fer the swift kick in th arse to get her done. I'm doin Japan, all of it!

holy shit, japan is just about here

i can't believe that this year has passed so quickly but i guess that's why i've decided to make this trip real. sometimes we hold onto our dreams for too long and the window closes up quicker then you can blink your eyes.
through this blog i hope to share my life, a lil voyage into what makes me tick. not sure if anyone will read or what will happen with this but in two days i start a journey that i've put off for over 25 years. i'll be in a foreign land doing something that has always been hard for me, asking for help.
i will for sure grow and return to san francisco with new years for the next chapter in my world.
