Disaster Recovery

Wow.. you would think it wouldn't be so hard to volunteer to go overseas to help with victims of the Tsunami disasater but well.. it is. All of the relief organizations are like.. donate money! donate money! and I'm just like.. I got no money I'm trying to donate myself you slackers.

I should probably get my passport updated...

New Year's

On a surpise note, Haruka is coming back to town and will be spending New Year's in Chicago. I feel this is a good thing ^_^ .

Tallulah flies back into town on Thursday after spending Xmas with her family and Haruka flies in on Friday so I'll be going back and forth to the airport like my name was Kato.

Also..

Also I wanted to say my thoughts and my prayers are with those who suffered losses in the tsunami that hit in southeast Asia. My dad may be a jackass and all, but I still hope he's ok since he's over there somewhere.

The Needs of the Many

So Happy Christmas all and all that. Things went pretty well I guess. I've been sick the past week or so and my aunts who are nurses gave me some antibiotics for it. It's interesting that the antibiotics they gave me were Z-Pak which is used for... ear infections. Pneumonia, and well STD's. So... today I'm feeling ear infection free AND I wouldn't have to worry about the clap if I had it. Good job. I spent X-Mas Eve with my bro Panda Thug. We went to Chinatown at around 2am for dinner. He was supposed to go to his cousin's place but he said he wanted to spend some time with me on Xmas Eve, that meant alot to me, thanks bro. Xmas Day itself I spent celebrating in the traditional Jewish Xmas tradition. Chinese food and a movie. Yes.
Yesterday ,,; and I went to Joan's parents' place for dinner. It was nice, can I just say I LOVE her niece and nephew? I got her nephew a pimp fps controller for X-Box which is made for games like Halo 2. He liked it =) And I got her niece a How to Draw Manga book. She draws me pictures, I put them up at work and at home. I can only hope when I have kids someday they turn out like those two =) Thanks to Joan for inviting ,,; and to her parents and family for being so great.

Haruka came and went and now it's possible she may be coming back to stay. There's a lot to think about right there. What am I going to do when my bachelor lifestyle is interrupted! Ahhhh .. oh wait.. I'd be better off what am I talking about. Oh and as an afterthought to my previous post where I changed DH to Haruka, Joan was like what the hell are you talking about I don't have anyone named DH on my blog. So apparently I am just a tool =) Ah well, I like using the name Haruka better anyway.

Ok. So here's my deep thoughts that I've been meaning to post. It seems around the holidays there's more thoughts about religion and life and such. I was raised Catholic (kind of). My parents are both Buddhists, but they sent my older sister and I to Catholic school because they figured it was a better education. Boy were they wrong haha.. to late for a refund *ahem*, anyway so this is my take on life and death. -- I believe that life is all about a journey, a soul's journey. In that journey it's all about learning things. In each time a soul is born and reincarnated, they learn more or work on faults they may have had in a previous life. This accounts to why there are assholes in the world. More than likely they are younger angrier souls who need to go around a couple more times still. That's all very Buddhist in thought but here's the key thing I want to say. In every lifetime you are surrounded with people you know, or knew in a previous lifetime. These kindred spirits that journey with you take on different relationships. For example at one point, this person could have been a friend of mine, a sister, a brother, a mother or a father etc. Titles are not as important as the true meaning of a relationship. I call some of my close friends my brothers because to me, they really are my brothers. It's no one's responsibility but our own to seek out these souls that we already share a bond with in each life time and make sure they are a part of your life again.

Deepest thanks to the people I love and are dear to me in each lifetime.
