On the Road again!

February 16, 2008

Over the last few years of traveling I have put a quite a few miles on my feet. It is now time for me to strap on my Chuck Taylor’s and hit the road! I came to Tokyo with the thought of settling down for a bit, unpacking the backpack and hanging up my hat (I really don’t wear a hat… but you get the picture.) But before I knew it my bag was repacked and I was ready for new adventures! The famous Roy Rogers song says it all “Don’t fence me in”. I’m not sure why I’m having such a hard time settling down, maybe it’s because it’s freezing cold here in Tokyo and we all know I hate the cold. Also I think it has a lot to do with the fact that Tokyo is freaking expensive and the thought of teaching English makes me want to jump in front of the next bus. Or maybe everyone is right, I am like that kid in the move Into the Wild, I’m a drifter, a Cowboy that needs to be free. No job or pretty lady can keep me in one place for more then a few weeks. But seriously let’s cut the crap I’m not like that, I’m just an average guy “A very lucky guy” that has the opportunity to live his dreams and I’m not one to wait. I like to live now and deal with whatever people deal with later. But on a more serious side I believe that we are all here for 2 reasons. 1) To enjoy our life… because life is a beautiful thing and to not enjoy it is a slap in God’s face. 2) While we are enjoying our lives also try to help make the world a better place for the future generations. Our planet and the world we know is in some serious shit! We are already starting to feel the effects, and for the world’s poor they are getting dealt a much harder hand. I have and will continue to learn about the world’s problems through my travels and will continue to get the message out through video and photos. I have a lot of stuff planned in the future but for now I will talk about things as they happen. Hope everyone is well wherever you might be! Here are the last photos from Tokyo… taken over the course of 24 hours.
