Nightlife and Halloween in Kyoto

I’ve spent a bit of time in Kyoto quite a few times this and last year and last and thought it’d be a great spot to spend Halloween with a couple friends.

"Where The Wild Things Are" is a shitty book...even for kids...

Even Michael Puckett might agree! (I haven’t asked him yet though, so I’m not sure).

Koyasan

Last Friday, on a whim, I decided to take a train down to the head of a 23km trail that would take myself and two friends to the town of Koya, the heart of a sect of Buddhism called Shingon.

Inside the SGA Office

/ By Student Government Assocation

If you’ve ever seen “Inside the Actors Studio” on Bravo, you know that they end by asking the presenter (James Lipton) asking the guest the following ten questions. I’m going to answer them in an effort for you to get to know your SGA exec better, and hopefully the others on exec will answer them too. I’ll post their answers in another blog.

1. What is your favorite word?
“Fierce.” I don’t know why. Everything is just fierce. I love that word.

2. What is your least favorite word?
Monday. Haha, I hate the word “Monday.” It’s always such a dull, boring day. Probably because it sucks trying to get back into the routine of things.

3. What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
Isolation. I work best when I’m completely on my own. I get my best ideas when I’m alone. You wouldn’t know it by talking to me, because I love being around people, but I’m quite the lone hunter.

4. What turns you off creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
Maths. Large crowds. Rock music.

5. What sound or noise do you love?
My little brother’s laugh. It lets me know that innocence still exists in this world.

6. What sound or noise do you hate?
The sound of pee hitting the toilet water. I hate hearing people go to the bathroom. It’s such a private act. That sort of thing just irks me.

7. What is your favorite curse word?
Bloody. Otherwise, I’m quite find of the word “fucking.” It’s so versatile. “Fucking awesome, fucking computer, fucking good time.” What a wonderful little adjective.

8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
I’ve always thought it would be fun to be a host of a Travel Channel show. And Monique told me tonight I have a good broadcasting voice. So maybe that too.

9. What profession would you not like to do?
Teacher. I can’t imagine being responsible for the well-being of 20 or 30 kids. I can barely take care of myself!

10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
“Wow, glad you made it. I honestly didn’t expect to see you here.”

Just a little FYI… this was written by me. In case you couldn’t figure that out by reading between the lines. :b

I hardly think people would confuse our writing style but glad you cleared that up for everyone! :) lol!

And… you do have a great broadcast voice! I sometimes think the news is on when your reading out loud! :)

LMAO on question 10!

Skyler, we should do lunch.

We should have lunch.

And it would be nice if I could spell your name correctly before hitting the Submit button. I want to rip this page’s hair out for submitting it twice already.

SkyLAR, we (PSU and YOU) should do lunch. Jeez.

Looking back on this in the morning, I should never get on the internet after drinking. I curse web pages.

1. Why does Skylar insist on using a fake British accent when he’s not from there?

2. Why does Skylar, when he hasn’t been elected to ANYTHING, all over SGA and the face of SGA?

A Student · Oct 17, 08:29 AM · #

You know what, “a student?” I’m tired of answering your baseless accusations. You ask the same questions over and over, knowing the answers.

1. For more on the accent, watch my first YouTube video. You know, the one I told you to watch the last time you started down this path. (Oh, and ask people who know me, the accent slips out sometimes; growing up all over the place, I’ve got a few accents that slip out.)

2. I’ve been elected to the senate twice, so you’re wrong. Second of all, I’m not the face of SGA or anything like that. I’ve told you why I have this blog. Otherwise, do you ever see me? When was the last time I was in the Herald? When was the last time I did anything as the “face of SGA?” There are prettier faces than me to nominate for that role. I pick Monique!

3. If you’re going to leave comments like this, leave a name. E-mail me; you have my e-mail address because I gave it to you before. Or stop by the office and talk to me.

The fact of the matter is you obviously have no guts, because you hide behind a computer and criticise me in gereralised, pointless ways without ever backing up your evidence.

I have no idea who you are, but I would love the chance to sit down and hear your grievances. Because quite frankly I have zero respect for people who criticize and talk about you behind your back or behind the veil of a computer screen. I have the utmost respect for people who disagree with me and are critical of me to my face. That takes guts, and I respect people with guts.

So grow a pair, and if you cannot, I will lend you mine. Come talk to me. But this is pointless, immature, and quite frankly petty. Whoever you are, you’re not that big of a person, because you don’t even have the courage to face me. So from now on, your comments get no resposne UNTIL you meet with me in person.
