Go ban - Is that edible?

The word blog just makes me think of bogans...... so this probably wont end well.

As im sitting here at my desk i think about the children that im supposed to be teaching and how i could incorporate safety around the home into this months lesson plan...... may be i should go and teach them how running with knives or scissors isnt safe........ while i contemplate this thought i also have to consider how much damage could be done with one unsupervised 5 year old and a box of matches...... ahhh theres only 50 matches in the box and its not like i left him with a lighter right?? Lighters seem to last forever, matches do run out.... eventually, and its not like I gave him any cigarettes!

Now with 50 matches of spare time I can update you with my travels again.....

I have now got myself hooked up with a..... small, black, inexpensive communicator..... named candy, na its just a phone and it doesnt have a strippers name. The phones here are pretty cool.... they all have buttons (no surprises there), but im not sure what half of the buttons do - it was a purchase that in previous years would have fascinated me but now im finding is super overwhelming.... click this to do that and click that to do this and then you have text messaging that is more about sending little pictures of your desires as opposed to letters to create words that state your actual wishes (which seems much more logical to me).

Anyway (cellphone stupidness out of the way)......... I went out to a true blue foreigner get together the other night, it was great.... we sat around and drunk and talked and drunk a little more and talked a little louder and louder and then smacked out a few chords of rockband......... its a universal source of entertainment but I still hate karaoke with a vengence! Karaoke just seems to be like verbal heroin here - if your not hooked when you arrive then you will be when you leave and i refuse to entertain that possibility. Some say "its about having confidence to get up and sing a few lines for everyone - show your balls" i say "leave it to those who can sing..................... which isnt you so SIT DOWN"! At the end of the day - the place where this idiocy took place was gorgeous.... a rather big Japanese style house set in the country - oh the coolness of it all!

I went out last night and fulfilled that desire i have had since i arrived.......i ate a whale, well not a whole one but i took 2 bites out of one - its really not worth the green peace aggression the Japanese get from going after it..... speaking of eating weird stuff.... i just ate what i thought was sherbert and it wasnt...... my fingers are dyed red and my mouth is red too.......... god help me if that was rat poison...... everyday not knowing how to read turns your life into a game of roulette.

Before i wrap it up i have to send a shout out to my mother and father - well done on your Qatar appointment! You're never too old to get involved right!!!!??

Oh yeah and im on skype now so it would be good to here from one or two of you - my name in Japan should find me quickly enough.

so slap ya later
