this is good news indeed, a step in the right direction. cant believe they gave up the re-entry scam, especially at a time when japan needs the revenue. and what about self-sponsoring? wonder if that process has been changed.

i remember the very day dante called me and told me he got that gig. i had done a tuka cm in 2004 where they totally gave me the shaft and paid me 170,000 yen, for a full media (tv, print, radio, billboards etc) campaign, when they had told me it was only gonna be on tv. in LA where i had done CMs and voice overs, that would've been a $70,000 gig at the time. I told dante to be careful and predicted to him that, at 3,000,000 yen a year, having to travel around the country to all the softbank stores, they are screwing him. But fortunately I was wrong. very very very happy for him. thats one eigo no sensei in japan who done good. looking forward to seeing him in this 5 minute cm

Harley Davidson: what a ghastly, fugly motorcycle. bmw and motto guzzi make the most awe inspiring bikes. not to mention, harleys are always breaking down. thats why the california highway patrol stopped using them and began using BMWs instead. harleys just reminds of the rednecks i used to work with in newspaper assembly across the US when i lived there.

Wo, for once I am on the same side as the npa. dont turn japan into the US. low gun ownership is one of the reasons I love it here.

i dont know about that. the japanese dont go in for scaling and polishing as often as the americans in general. yet the americans suffer more heart attacks. I get my teeth scaled 4 times a year and I'lll probably die of a heart attack. but i do recommend a scaling at least twice a year, especially as you get up in age. that ojiichan/obaachan gingivitis breath is horrible. I'm never getting that. Homie just aint going out like that. i want my wife and i to be able to enjoy wet kisses til we are dead.

cain has no chance in the first place. dont drink the cool aid, america will never elect a black president. a half black half white president is as far as they'll go. besides, cain is not presidential, hes not handsome, he looks like mugabe and he sounds like hes from under some rock someplace. maybe little rock? then again, that may not be such a bad place, little rock. america's best president, bill clinton was from there.
