the three best feelings in the world...the obvious, a long pee, and karaoke. Karaoke must be my new funtivity of choice. Its pure liberation to be singing at the top of your lungs with friends, drunk, without a care in the world. Ive sang karaoke here about five times and each time gets better and better. I am not afraid to admit that i sing the cheesiest , most cliche Karaoke songs ever.... Journey, Neil Diamond, Billy Joel, Vanilla Ice , i refuse to sing much else, although I am still trying to find Tom Petty s Free fallin! This past friday our Japanese Language teacher invited us to a new bar to drink for free. Well drink for free is all he had to say, about six of us went to this seedy little establishment and shared drinks all night, while belting out about 100 karaoke tunes. Our Japanese language teacher joined us as well, it was a riot. I woke up with the worst hangover I ve had here on Saturday, which was unfortunate because I really wanted to seize my day, go for a bike ride, go to the park, workout etc. I dragged my worthless ass out of bed around 12 and went straight for the hangover food. There is this little burger place in my town, it shares a building with the grocery store i frequent. It is delicious, the In and Out of Omagari, let me tell you what kills a hangover... A burger, fries, unlimited ice coffee and an ice cream cone, the breakfast of a true champion. I decided since i was feeling so good, to go to the park read, get some sun, and relax. I had a blanket, pillow , reading material, water, i pod I was set. I should of known it was going to be a good day , when I plugged in my ipod i was greeted with what i call the best playlist ever, it started with the Arcade Fires “wake up” blending into some MGMT, Postal Service, Death Cab... pure ecstasy. I think riding your bike on a sunny saturday, listening to tunes on the way to the park, must be good feeling number four. I felt like a little kid, so happy to be doing something so simple. I got to the park, laid down my blanket and pillow, and just started at the clouds and felt total happiness. If it wasnt for these annoying caterpillar , I could of stayed there for the whole day. But i was bound and determined to go on a bike ride, i bought this wonderful bike that i havent taken full advantage of since my weekends are filled with debauchery and booze. I decided i would ride at least two hours and just follow the path along the river, I turned on a little Edward Sharpe and rode...it felt good to be on the bike again. I don’t think i ve had a happier day in Japan than saturday, i feel like i have been dreamin for the last sixty days, no one better pinch me, i swear i ll go crazy.
