Time To Catch Up

Well, it has been a full 2 weeks since my last blog update! Ooops! I have some stuff to write now, so here I go:

Last Saturday, I went to Tsuchiura with my friends Daniel, William and Budsarin to the International Festival. Alot of my JET friends were working at a booth there on both Saturday and Sunday so that is part of the reason we decided to go. It was a really great day full with alot of great food and lots to see. We arrived at around 1:00pm and left at 4:30pm. We got quite lost going home so we were all tired by the time we arrived back in Moriya.



This Christmas will be a difficult one for me as I will be seperated from my family because I'm not heading back to Canada for the holidays. So, I decided about a week ago to do a Christmas project that would help me focus on something else and also light my Christmas cheer flame that always burns so bright every year. I started a channel on BlogTv.com..I am ChristmasGuy2008, the pinnacle of Christmas cheer and excitement. I started broadcasting on Monday November 10th and the channel has been very warmly received by many on BlogTv. I am quickly becoming somewhat of an Internet celebrity as my room has been featured on the main page almost daily and my list of friends and subscribers continues to grow rapidly. I believe in something called "The Christmas Change" which is to say that during the holiday season, people change. They laugh more, smile more, are kinder to others and are happier in general. However, many people only seem to go through this change in the short time leading up to Christmas. I decided to start the broadcast in November to prolong the Christmas change experience for people and really get them pumped for this coming Christmas. I have even had some people say that they would like to turn my channel on to watch with their family on Christmas morning. For this reason, and others, I will be doing many different live shows on Christmas Day for the viewers in different time zones. On a happy note, I will now not be alone for Christmas. I will have my BlogTv community with me and my best friend Daryle will be spending Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with me! I can't wait to go shopping for him!



November 12, 2008 - Broadcast your self LIVE

On Thursday November 13, Kaz came to Moriya. We went out for dinner and coffee with Brita, Anna and Daryle. It was alot of fun. On Friday, Kaz and I went to Ushiku Daibutsu as he had never been there before. The fall colours on the drive there were beautiful and there were not many people in the park which was really nice. On Friday night, Kaz and I went to Toride to meet up with Daryle and then we headed into Tokyo to go to the gay bars. We all got a little too drunk on the train ride into Tokyo and it turned out to be very bad night for both Kaz and I. We were too drunk and only ended up spending about an hour with Daryle before we were to sick to continue and had to find a hotel to crash at. Sorry Daryle! :(







Today was a great day for me. I received a parcel from my mother. I thought she was sending me a small bubble envelope with a few small things for Christmas but instead she sent a huge box of presents all the way from Canada. It cost her $132 to ship it from Canada. There were presents for me to open today and use from now til Christmas and a whole whack of wrapped gifts to open on Christmas morning. She even sent me a Simpsons advent calendar! I cried alot..I was happy and sad all at once. Well, this has been the events of my life over the past two weeks and I'll try not to be so tardy in updating my blog. Enjoy the mess of pics! :)
