It is nice to know that no matter where i go...

                                                                                                                   ...i can find a little piece of home.

ie niruto honto no jibun. itsumo kaeritai.                                                           

                                                                  when i am at home i am my true self. so i always want to return home.

taiko conference was awesome!

sometimes i forget how much passion people can have for something then i am just amazed at how great people can be for no reason. they are not only great at what they do but they are just great people. they are giving and loving and supporting. to live in a community like that just makes me want to better, as a player and a human. i wish that i could have that kind of passion. but at least it is something to aspire to.

when we come upon a mirror

and look into it what do we expect to see?

         a reflection of how the world sees us...

                    ...or something more???
