A “Fuck You Japan” Day :D

Yo guys, whoever is still reading this shizzle.

Now you guys should know this by now, but in case you didn’t know, let me tell you: I LOVE JAPAN!!!!  This place is great!  Home of sushi, ninjas and every kind of porn known to man!  Since coming here I have had so many good experiences, lost weight, learned how to converse in a completely different language – overall – GOOD SHIZZLE.  But sometimes there is stuff that happens, not just to me, I garuntee everybody who is a foriegner living here can agree there is just a moment where you hate this country.  Hate the people, hate the customs, the electronic ladies voice coming from the toilet seat.  It’s not just a “bad” day, it’s a “bad day” accompanied by being in a foreign culture.

Ok, so why am I even bringing this up?  Last weekend I was in Tokyo clubbing and hanging out with my buddy Lex and we were trying to kill some time before heading to a club, so we were going around Shibuya and chatting with random Japanese people.  We were being nice and saying “Hi” and introducing ourselves and just trying to be nice and open towards our native hosts.  Except at the end of meeting ANY of them, they would very passively-agressively tell us to leave them the fuck alone -.-  In Japan you have this thing called たてまえ(bullshit feelings) and ほんね　(true feelings), now every country has it’s own style of being passive agressive, but since this is the internet and I HAVE a computer with internet and a blog account I feel the need to say shit I am not 100% sure about, just like I would say now how Japanese people are the best bullshiters in the world !!!!!!!

I love this place, I really do.  I feel more connected to this country than I ever did to my own country.  Even though I have only been living in this country for 2 years, Japan has been a major part of who I am ever since I was a child and when people ask me if I would take Japanese citizenship, the answer would be a “HELL YES!”.  “You can’t choose where you are born, but you can control where you want to be after we reach adulthood” one of my viewers told me over Skype.  I honestly don’t see myself going back to America to live, sure I might go back for a couple years for further educational needs, but other than that I see myself being an expat for the rest of my life.  The only reason I would get citizenship here would be just so I never have to leave this place after that happens.
This has turned into a rant about “citizenship” when it was supposed to be a rant about Japan sucking hardcore for an instant second.  You gotta look at the glass of water from all perspectives.  One person says “the glass is half empty”.  One person says “the glass is half full”.  I say “man, why are you guys looking at my Urine sample?”.  You gotta try to look at every situation from the opposite view of you.  SUre all those people were passive assholes basically brushing me off 5 minutes into a conversation with me, but I mean, for all I know, they could have all had AIDS or the Plague and just wanted me to get as far away from them as possible so I wouldn’t fall victim to it too

Whatever, end.

Racism in Japan, the blog post

***IF YOU LIKE MY VIDZ PLZ SUBSCRIBE, COMMENT, and RATE***

ごめんね、日本の皆さんこのビデオはの会話、全部英語だよ。でも大丈夫、悪いの話しじ やないぞう。

Yo everybody, this is my buddy Khatz and I are talking about “Racism in Japan”, which we honestly don’t give a fuck about. Any time we have had a misunderstanding or encountered something that seems along the lines of “racism”, we usually can deal with it fairly easily. We have both experienced racism towards not being able to “get an apartment” and being “stopped by racial profiling ” cops, each time has not been a as a big deal as people on the internet make it out to be (at least in our opinions, which of course are the most valid on the world wide web…bitches).

Guys, seriously, this country is great, any time you think there is “RACISM” going on, take a step back, learn Japanese fluently, live here for a couple years, be intregrated into the culture before assuming “RACISM”.

みな、この国が大好きだ、素晴らしくにだよ。日本は最高！

ramenz

My friend Miho came over and made me ramen on Christmas Eve.  I have some good friends.

クリマスエブは私の友達みほさん、僕の家来ました。ラーメン作りました。美味しかったよ〜　本当に良い仲良しいるよ。良かった　：D

Noriko Calderon

I’m from the U.S and ANY illegal immigrant can come into the country and have a child and the child is automatically granted U.S citizenship despite their parent not being in the country legally.  I even read that it is popular for Korean mothers to visit the U.S when they are pregnant so they can have the child born in the U.S just to recieve U.S citizenship.

It’s obvious that unless Japan makes it easier for it’s citizens to have/raise kids, people are gonna keep not having them and the poplulation is going to keep decreasing.  Which means at one point Japan has to lift it’s arms in defeat and say “FINE!  FUCK IT!  BRING IN MORE FOREIGNERS!!!”, so they have people to take the construction jobs the ex-retired senior citizens keep complaining about doing.
In America, my family was poor and I grew up in government housing (ya know, the apts. in the ghetto parts of town).  It was like being in The Jeffersons, except not being “black” or “funny” -.-  It was funny, because my family was the ONLY one that WASN’T Mexican (from Colorado, remember) and so I had plenty of Mexican friends, all of which told me their parents were illegal immigrants, kinda ironic, considering this was all housing subsidized by the government, lol.  Point is, most of those people were GOOD people that might have don’t bad things to get into America, but I didn’t hate them on the circumstances their parents chose on how to get into the U.S.

Wow, 3 paragraphs later and I’m still not to the point yet.  So this girl Noriko Calderon’s parents came to Japan on false passports 10 or so years ago.  Now they were caught, were jailed, paid their fines and now are facing deportation, but their daughter, who has lived here for all her life, who doesn’t know any other language besides Japanese is being forced to go back to a country she know’s nothing about.
The options are:

1.  The government will allow her and her parents to stay in Japan.
2.  The government lets Noriko stay, but her parents have to go back to the Phillipines.
3.  Noriko and her family get all deported and sent back to the Phillipines.

It’s a tough choice, if Japan chooses #1, it will let Japan seem like it’s being more of an open country to foreigners,like the U.S, but it might show that the country is now letting anybody who sneaks into the country the same circumstances if they are caught.
If #2, then it at least shows Japan has SOME compassion as opposed to NONE.
If #3 then shows Japan can give a good example to world on how it doesn’t take shit from outsiders, like a reverse-Perry-gaijin-smash.

So this blog is about dieting, but seeing as I am not writing about that so much, I decided to start writing about other shit recently, so it will get me to write more about my opinions while I live in this country and shizzle.  Plus, the more you write the more your +writing skillage+ you get in this life RPG, so I gotta keep grinding this shizzle.

I interview 有道出人 (Arudou Debito)

Yo guys, man I really need to start putting up more posts on this blog.  Since the diet has not been going anywhere, I mean, don’t worry, I am still eating well, but it’s nothing really structure, only indulging in a couple cokes, ice cream and macdonalds once in a while.  I am stlll eating a mostly Japanese food and drinking mostly water/water/beer/etc which means I haven’t lost any weight, but still being healthy.

Anywayz, this post is about ME meeting one of my big role models  when it comes to making a life about Japan.  This guy was born in and grew up in America, as Dave Aldwinkle, when he was 20 or so he met his Japanese girl friend and that basically started a series of events (which he wrote about on his site) which lead him to become a naturalized Japanese citizen and civil rights activist in Japan.

Now I get a lot of emails from you viewers telling me how much you wanna come to Japan and live here permanently, but I have never met or talked to anyone who could show they did any more research than finding out that Narita was the name of the airport in Tokyo, lulz.  Come on bitchez, when I seriously thought about moving to this country I did the research on teh intewebz and I came across his site.  Sometimes I think people who don’t know Japan that well. might get the imperssion that Japan is a very racist country after seeing his website, but overall I think he is trying to make this a better country for foreigners to live in and for that he gets a Tkyosam “*FUCK-YEAH-YOU-RULE-DUDE HIGH-FIVE*”.

Anywayz, enough chatting, here’s the video:

There are 7 parts of this video and it wasn’t intended to be a a proffessional/real video.   Just to show that he is a regular dude just like the rest of us.  So enjoy this shizzle and stay black
