Losing things

As I was uploading new photos I lost track of what I was doing and ended up digging through old photos. I came across these three photos with stuff I've lost or given up over the past two years. I remember being super depressed losing my duct tape hat because it was a very special gift from one of my friends back in high school. Plus it had duct tape all over it so it was automatically awesome to begin with. My brown hat was also an important gift that was lost to the wind as it blew out of my car last year.

I've had two long boards stolen since college started but losing them wasn't as depressing as giving away my bamboo board
as "reassurance" to a later to fail long distance relationship.

But none of those could ever be as bad as to what happened two semesters ago. After finally buying my own 'vintage' jeans for $160 bucks, the week thereafter I couldn't find it anywhere. Upon asking my mom if she had seen it anywhere she simply replied,

"Oh, I sent those and your other old pants to your relatives in the Philippines"

I cried, I had never worn them once and it was the first (and last time) I've ever spent more than $40 on an article of clothing. Serves me right for falling right into Abercrombie & Finch's clutches.

Yakuuuuuuza Girl

So, one of the recurring topics that happens between me and my friends is the discussion about whether or not one of our bosses is Yakuza. Her name is Ali and is near top of the food chain at the waterpark. Now she appears to be a normal Japanese person at first glance, until you notice all the tattoos she has.

Right now you're prolly thinking "Well maybe she just likes having a lot of tattoos" and you may be right, but that won't be the only reason why we think shes Yakuza. Shes been able to hook up people with the most RIDICULOUS deals, ever. Want an iPhone? $20. Labtop? $100. She knows a lot of people, and knows how to get things from them.

When we went out to celebrate another one of our co-worker's birthday at D&B's, she was able to get the pool room and the roof for us the whole night just like that. We keep hearing more stories about limo rides, going to high end restaurants for free, her getting hundreds of $ worth of drinks at bars and not having to pay a thing.

Even in the off chance that shes just a normal girl whos SUUUUUUUPER well connected and just happens likes full body tattoos, we'll keep believing that shes Yakuza. So in the off chance that we mess up reaaaaaaaaaaaally bad at work we all got pinkies to spare. Plus having a Yakuza boss sounds pretty attractive. I've always wanted to be a henchmen for a femme fatale.

I'm a...Japanophile?

Starting today I'll be forcing myself to actually speak Japanese with some of my Japanese friends. I'd usually get away with simple 'yes' 'no' and 'how are you?' phrases as I'd be listening to what they were saying instead of replying.

But now I need to turn on the NOS, and drift my way into Japanese fluency.
