Shout Outs

When I originally decided to create this blog, I intended to document unbiased my experiences in Japan. I had hoped to leave out personal issues and relationships, but.... I don't think that's possible at this point. This is an opportunity to share with my friends and family my truest feelings. It's not always easy to be 100% myself in the company of others, but here in my blog I can leave a honest picture of myself for those that I care about. I'd recommend creating a blog to anyone that would benefit from a public record of their humanity. For the past three years of my life, I had the privledge of being with someone who forever changed my life. Although we have now gone our separate ways, I will forever be grateful to her for teaching me about the simple pleasures in life. I will always be a friend to you. My brother. "Jackson Train" once told me, "Anything said from the heart is always the right thing to say". That's one of wisest and most liberating statements I ever heard. Thanks for being a spiritual teacher to me. Many blind leaps that I've taken led to flight because of my faith in this life. "Reliks", your early accomplishments and confidence in life gave me the courage to face the world, because I knew success and talent were in my blood. I believe in you still. Thanks for the many kind years. A manager I once had in Hawaii, I'll call him "Mel Gibson", often said to me,"Sammie grow some F@#@*$# balls!" Well Mel, you'd be happy to know that I did and that I've been banging them on every door of opportunity I get. Mom, sorry for that last comment and thanks for all your encouragement and support. There's many folks I left out, so thanks to everyone. ' I love all of you" (RHCP) By the way, my first day at job training went great. Tomorrow is going to be even better.
