Bang! You're dead.

Look I know that I am making up for lost time here and it seems like I am doing a quick cut and paste to produce a post and keep you all visiting.
Well, that's not too far from the truth. I do want to keep you interested in the exploits and thoughts of a Thoroughly Misplaced Man in Japanland without the 140 word restriction I have recently subscribed to.


In the six months since I purchased the computer I am presently writing this post with, there has been an incredible influx of information pouring into my life via the stupid information highway. I have watched the equivalent of three or four years of TV, a slew of movies- some that haven't even made their way across the ocean to my adopted hometown yet, I am taking online guitar lessons (They really work Check this guy out.) and of course doing my best to keep up with you folks in the Blogger nation. I tweet too. Go here now to check me out .
Mostly all of this all occurs well after I have taken care of my daily responsibilities; which are considerable. I was disturbed by the news of Jeff Goldblum's demise in New Zealand. After all, I have friends there and I would hate to associate them with the death of one of my favorite actors. Then there was Jeff's response to his own death and I was amazed at how graciously he accepted it.
Is there a limit to the amount of things one can successfully do in a day, a week, a year?
I feel constantly overwhelmed by the amount of things I do not know- as well as the myriad things I cannot do well; yet. I think that it's a little more than strange to have reached my present age and still creave new experiences. New Knowledge, skills and possibly a whole new start in life. Is this male menopause???
More shit to come real soon....

I have to apologise for the fact that I don't often respond to your comments. You see, I am so enthralled with 'My Name is Earl' The white trash equivalent of 'Kung Fu' that I spend most of my time contemplating my karmic balance sheet... I'm in serious debt.

You never have to apologize to me. Live your life and blog when you can.

I count 5 recent celebrity deaths - Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, Billy Mays (sp?), and now Jeff Goldblum. There goes the whole three's theory, unless another death is on the way. I'm hoping for Paris Hilton.

I love JG. He had a TV show last year called Raines that was very entertaining, but it was canceled.

It's funny how they can show such a report, especially with the man standing right there. I guess he'll be making an appearance on ghost whisperers before his final good byes,lol. In the meantime keep up your blogging here, I love reading whatever you have to say, good, bad, up or down they're all significant of your experiences and adventures at the other side of the world.

I am beginning to accept (just beginning, mind you!) that I will never know all I want to know or do all I want to do. I'd accept it with much better grace if I could get back my 23 yr old body, though.

Its my first visit to your blog...and I must add there's a thing about your post that makes me want to revisit it:)

I really don't think it's male menopause, hon. I say that because I freely admit there's way more I don't know than I do know. And I'm pretty sure I don't have male menopause. So there you have it.:)

Please just give me a few more hours in the day.

I think it would be stranger (or at least, sadder) not to crave new expereinces. I don't know how old you are, but at 46 - and NOT in menopause, thank you - I love learning and doing new things. I hope that never stops.

lime said...

may i just say i love jeff goldblum. the man just makes me laugh in so many good ways.

still craving new experiences? i count that as a virtue. i hope to maintain that outlook until i take my last breath.

It could be what they call midlife crisis in men...

That is doing a lot of things. My son learns guitar too online. It really works!
