IN THE BEGGINING

AAaaaahhh!!! in the beginning there was the earth, and the sky (actually there was the light), but anyway, I have been groomed to be the President of the U.S.A....HAHAHAHAHA yeah right, so here I am in Japan, living alone with my fat bulldog LuLu, a Victorian style English bulldog. The fact that my high school mascot was the bulldog (GO Provo Bulldogs), has absolutly nothing to do with my owning a bulldog. On this trip we're going to go backwards instead of chronologically from the time I entered The Great Nippon Tei Koku, back in 1987 February, a long long time ago. So now, here I sit at my desk typing on a PC that was a gift that my Faithfull customers from the days of working at night in my bar that I ran for 7 years ( actually 2 separate stores) gave to me because they were sick of me being such a caveman recluse, thus forcing me into the electronic age (yes I know " a little late") (2007 B-day). Now the question, who am I? I am Albert...bfd (expletive) right, well it is to me and the family that claim me ( thank u). I was born on February 5, 1967 all those years ago (Beatles song), in Marin County Califronia. So... yeah well after living in Japan for the better part of 22 years, I think I might have some insight to your problems that you or your friends may incur on your endeavors here in Japan, maybe. Of course maybe not, but as I remember any amount of insight from anybody seemed to be a big help. Of course my being groomed to become Pres. (noooot) can also help. I now reside in Nagasaki City on the western side of the island of Kyuushu, the lower Island (number three) of the isles of Japan. Ngasaki as we have studied is 1 of 2 places on the earth that has had the horror of being obliterated by atomic weapons, thus the obligation of the people here to remind the world of the utterely destructive power of atomic weaponry (and they do but not with the ferocity of the western thinking, but the gentle yet ever present urging and constant diligence of oriental passive aggressiveness). A kind of ironic coincidence is that I live in between the now Peace Park and the Atomic bomb Museum... right next to a love hotel... righteous eh! I love my house.. or I mean my large for Japanese standards normal size, condominium style apartment, with my dog LuLu. well since I don't know what I'm doing this is my first entry andhope to have many more... 'cause I got story baby lotsa story!
