It is 6:24 AM on April 27th, 2019. Although I’ve been waking up early I haven’t been getting up early in a very long time. I wake up at 3 or 4 AM but have opted to just sit there and think until I fall back asleep. When you first wake up is the best…… Continue reading Journal Entry 4.27.19

LA Trip – Red Carpet
It is 6:27 AM and I’m at the gate in Oakland Airport for my flight to Burbank. These past few weeks have been a daze and I haven’t had time to write. I’m so busy with the new job that time marches by in a blur and I have to catch myself and take a…… Continue reading LA Trip – Red Carpet
Cobra Kai
I’ve written quite a bit about this new show Cobra Kai in the past couple of posts but thought it deserved it’s own post. Cobra Kai is a new series on YouTube Red which continues the Karate Kid saga of the ’80s but from Johnny’s point of view and it is completely awesome. I watched…… Continue reading Cobra Kai
Jean Jacket, Karate and the ’80s
As I mentioned previously I love the Cobra Kai series on YouTube. It makes me remember the ’80s very fondly and how I really don’t like the times these days. Part of it is that I’m older and just remembering my youth. The other part is that the ’80s seemed more exciting and ‘pure.’ In…… Continue reading Jean Jacket, Karate and the ’80s
San Francisco Fighter’s Cup 2018
It is the Friday before the Fighter’s Cup which is on Sunday. At rest I’ve mentally prepared myself but during last Saturday’s fights I lost confidence very quickly. The issue is stamina of which I have very little and it depletes quickly when fighting. It is at that point I feel like I’m going to…… Continue reading San Francisco Fighter’s Cup 2018
Journal Entry – 4.28.18
It is 4:30 AM. I’ve been exercising and going to karate a lot recently and when I have a good workout I will always wake up early, it never fails.

Japantown – Cherry Blossom Festival – Part 1
It is 8:02 AM on Saturday, April 14th. Today is the start of the Cherry Blossom Festival in Japantown. I always enjoy this and tell myself every year that I’d like to get a little more involved and spend more time there. My favorites are the people dressed up in cosplay, the dancing, the Cherry…… Continue reading Japantown – Cherry Blossom Festival – Part 1
Journal Entry – 12.3.2017
It is 4:17 AM on Sunday December 3rd, 2017. Yesterday was a very busy day. After writing my previous post I was getting ready for karate class when I received a call from my neighbor Steve! It turns out my fears were unfounded about the fence because I got to talk to him (as opposed…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 12.3.2017
