I just finished the book and I have to agree with the reviews; it was hard to put down and refused to stay shut. I’d like to first mention a bit of controversy surrounding the novel. It was written by a westerner named Arthur Golden. I wanted to know if this book was worth reading…… Continue reading Memoirs of a Geisha

2019 – On the plane to Tokyo
8.1.19 It is 3:54 PM San Francisco time and 7:54 AM in Tokyo. I’m somewhere over the Pacific ocean on my way to Japan. My bachelorhood of 2019 comes to an end tomorrow, but I’ll get to that in a minute. It all started out slow enough but then it seemed I was in a…… Continue reading 2019 – On the plane to Tokyo
LTMD – The state of things in 2019
It has been a long time since I’ve done an “Letters to My Descendants” post. Here is how I see the world around me in the year 2019. We are in the midst of the Trump presidency.

Journal 7.25.2019
It is 7:10 AM on Thursday July 25th. My time as a bachelor soon comes to an end. As a result my mind is in heightened alert such as Ralphie in a Christmas Story when he visits Santa in the mall. “Wake Up Stupid, Wake UP! Wake up and take advantage of this precious free…… Continue reading Journal 7.25.2019
Don Juan de Marco
While I’m a bachelor I’ve been catching up on a few of my favorite movies. One of my all time favorites is Don Juan de Marco. Like Don Quixote, Don Juan de Marco lives in a fantasy world, but in doing so the world conforms to them instead of them conforming to the world. This…… Continue reading Don Juan de Marco
The ’90s and where we are today.
CNN has created a fantastic program that explores each decade through a number of episodes that drills on on specific aspects that occurred. As I’m currently a bachelor I now have time to watch things that interest me and I finally made it to the ’90s which interests me the most as it is when…… Continue reading The ’90s and where we are today.
