Wherever the road takes me

I have left behind my fabulous friends and life in Hollywood to become an English Teacher in rural Japan. Who knows how long I'll stay here. Who knows what I'll do next. But check here to find out about my latest adventures.

The badass rebel....

You know that character from "Grease", Danny Zukko (aka John Travolta), I think that one of my kids is channeling his spirit...imagine if you will, a really tough JR High School kid...a complete punkass (9th grader)...I walk outside one day and catch this kid throwing rocks up to his friend on the 3rd floor. He wasn't tossing those rocks in a gentle manner (whatever that would be)... he's THROWING them...pitcher style at a kid who is standing 3 stories up, in front of a window. So I (in my most authoritative voice) yell to him, "Hey man, what do you think you are doing?" (and I am so not kidding here) He looks at me, drops the remaining rocks he is holding and starts singing a loud song in Japanese, then follows that by dancing around. Crazy dancing...arms flailing, legs shaking...we are talking Elvis meets a gaggle of mosh pitters....this was nuts. All I could think was how badly, i wished there were subtitles to read, what on earth he was singing at that moment.
