Nuclear Boy Has A Stomachache

The story of a potential nuclear fallout in Japan told the Japanese way:

Thoughts and prayers for my adopted homeland...

Swimming

It's been said that the optimist lives on the peninsula of infinite possibilities; the pessimist is stranded on the island of perpetual indecision. (Thank you, Anthony Bourdain!)

I have been stuck on an island for a while, but I'm heading towards the peninsula now. I've got a lot of big decisions to make in the next few weeks, but I think it's all for the purpose of the greater good. How will I come to these decisions? I don't know. (Coin flipping? Pulling numbers out of a hat? Or the trusty Rock, Paper, Scissors? Good old rock...) Now, if only life was as simple as picking a peninsula...

I've claimed this one mine! Cape Peninsula, South Africa. One day, I shall meet you, my friend.

St. Valentine's Day

Yes, today is Valentine's Day, the day where you're suppose to say how much to love someone by giving chocolates, flowers and greeting cards (or so the people who sell these things say). Ok, I might have a more cynical take on this day because I don't have anyone to shower me with heart-shaped chocolate boxes and metallic balloons that say "I love you" on it, but I digress. My point is we should be saying this to the ones nearest and dearest to us every day, or at least once in a while, but definitely not only once a year on February 14th.

So, as part of my spiritual journey for 2011, I've decided I'm going to send out emails (or call) certain people who has made a huge difference in my life. A bit of warning...  I'm writing this in bed slightly delusional with a 101˚F/38˚C fever and the inside of my head feeling like a bongo drum practice session. If things are a bit confusing, ask me in a couple of days when the drugs start kicking in.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
