I'm always so busy promoting Dr. Sketchy's that I forgot to plug my true theatrical love, comedy improv. I perform improv at the Tokyo Comedy Store every 4th Friday of the month. Tonight promises to be a fantastic time so check us out down at The Crocodile in Shibuya.

Thanks Hooping.org

Simply Being

Have you ever spent the day thinking of someone else entirely? My closest Aunt has a birthday coming soon and I've decided to make her present this year (actually I make her present every year). Don't wanna give too much away as she may read this entry but The whole day was dedicated to looking up inspirational quotes that might strike a chord with her as I thumbed through old photos of us. I spent hour upon hour inside the published minds of Emerson, Thoreau and Eleanor Roosevelt just to name a few. It's amazing how these old quotes that I've heard a dozen times before suddenly resonate when you truly read them unhindered by time constraints and with full presence of consciousness. Suddenly every word was like a declaration or an epiphany. "Ah ha" moments were like rapturous awakenings. Very nice feeling indeed. Such an eye opening experience the act of being aware! Today was one of those rare occasions when I actually had the entire day off. It was a day to sit around in my underwear and scratch my bottom and contemplate how to make someone I truly love feel amazing about themselves and though I didn't lift a finger I can't remember when I felt so fulfilled or productive.

Hope she likes it!

Zen Hooping

Have you ever been absolutely sure of something only to find out that you don't know jack?
I read The Secret a couple of months ago and the change in life has been significant.
Better job.
Better life.
More laughs.
Then I met a guy in Kyoto who said I wasn't very in touch with the HERE and NOW.
Of course I politely listen to him while simultaneously thinking he could stick his new age mumbo jumbo where the sun don't...mm hmm
Then I began to Hoop in earnest. Exploring my new hobby with all the enthusiasm of a gaggle of Kindergartens at recess.

As with any new endeavor I always want to be good immediately and this need for instant success leaves me fumbling a lot longer than if I just appreciated the journey for what it is and accept that I'm gonna suck for a while.
Today as I hooped in Shinjuku Gyoen, I dropped the hoop more times than I can count as I tried to perfect moves that the Super Hooper in my daydreams expertly choreographed but my hooping fairy godmother Sushizume showed me how to truly move with the hoop. Be the hoop. Love the hoop.
And it wasn't until I let go of the Alvin Ailey daydream that I was able to sway and swish that baby around my waist and arms like a pro and really get into the groove. It was a day of orgiastic hoop lovin' I tell ya!
Love.
Hoop.
Rhythm.
HERE.
NOW.
aaaaaaaah...I get it!

Fucking Osho

If you can get past the slow speech pattern and expressionless face you'll find the most genuine comedic performance by Osho, the very definition of an enlightened mystic.

Ibaragi Serenity

From blizzard to bliss.


Spring is in the air friends.


And today she kissed me on the cheek.


Ah sweet serenity!
