At an early age the insect laws of kill or be killed are emulated at a young age. Your only hope; Study the beetle, follow the beetle, love the beetle.

Ahh, Asahi

today the rain crashed japan with thunderous little bitch slaps, i was inside watching the departed with j.nicholson, as the movie advertises, we had to reschedule the bike trip, jimmy and me but i rediscovered the musical honey-poetry of willie nellson, and assembled a $2.00 1/6 scale FA-MAS 5.56 F1 assault rifle, it was a fine day looking back as i rub my stubbly skull, hope my last day of vacation will be as good as this aug. sunday promised, what will i do...i love my bike too much.

what a tragic racket--the gig , I mean, not yoshi
