My Hobbies SPORTS  

Actually Involved With	Haven't Done For a While
Tae Kwan Do	Downhill Skiing
Kyokushin (full contact) Karate	Soccer
	Aikido

I'm not a martial arts psycho or anything, it's just that I don't like "team sports", and practicing martial arts gives me the best/most thrilling work out.   PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES  

Stuff I'm Actually Involved With	Stuff that I do occasionally	Stuff I rarely do these days but love anyway
Dancing (I LOVE Dancing)	Swimming	Camping
Cycling (shitty bike, though)	DJ-ing (House and Techno)	Scuba Diving
Digesting Sushi	Hiking	Canoeing/Kayaking

Dancing- I love dancing (to techno, house, drum and bass, etc), that's why I don't DJ as much as I used to- it takes a lot of time that I can better invest dancing. Cycling- can better be described as "Going here and there on my shitty grandma bike-with-a-basket" I used to go camping all the time in Boy Scouts.  In fact, I added up all the days that I spent camping, up until my high school graduation, and I found out that I spent over a year of my life in the wilderness.  I don't know if that helps explain my eating habits, but there you have it. I really only went scuba diving once, but I promised myself I'd do it again- it was the most relaxing (and one of the most mysterious as well) experience I ever had in my life.     QUIET ACTIVITIES

Japan is a dangerous place to be for a sationariholic like me.  There are more intersting kinds of pens and paper in this country than there are starving children in China.   TOTAL TIME WASTING ACTIVITIES THAT I SPEND TOO MUCH TIME DOING

Computer Games

Splunge the Internet

Sniff glue and play the ukelele

OK, one of these is an outright lie, you caught me: I never update these homepages.
