I thought i would have a philisophical post here, i thought id write a poem, let you inside my...lulz jks.
POINT 3
- My host families have changed 3 times since i last posted i think, i have been to a house in Katsutadai, near the train station where i used to get a bus to school, wicked niec family, had a key to the house, was in the front room so didnt matter if i came home super late. Older brother, younger brother, parents. Brother are in a band, the elder one is studying english literature at Uni, their band is actually really good, they are on youtube if you are curious but i cant find the link, will post another time (Its called `The Apple Pie'). Went to karaoke with parents and brothers and random drunk teachers and many a fun time were had.
-Next family was nice, but i wasnt incredibly comfortable there, i had no key to the house, and as a result i spent many days sitting outside for over an hour waiting to get inside, or when i went out the host dad would wait up till i got home, so i couldnt get home late :S I also had no proper curtains in my room, and the sun comes up here at like 5 o clock so i always had terrible sleeps. The family was pretty nice though, i didnt connect with the brother at all because of the age difference, hes only in year 8 or 9, and the younger sis was 12 i think. Parents were nice, dad spoke fluent english and i went to the gym with him sometimes. Mum seemed nice but never seemed overly friendly with me, got weird vibes from here sometimes, anyway not the best family ive had but only in comparison.
-Current family is super cool, super nice, super win. Parents, older and younger brother and a sister who is the eldest. Parents have good english, the mums is the best and very fluent, sister is next best who has been to countless places around the world, the mum plays competitive badminton :S older brother plays soccer and has bad english, although he is going to america so it should improve, younger brother has pretty good english and is improving through school study. I have my own room, the internet, a key to the house, i cant complain at all and i am becoming good friends with the kids, life is good.
-As i said ive had a lot of time to re-evaluate myself, and one of the things i decided to change was my body, as some of you will know i was quite built 2 years ago, strong, weighed about 80 kilos, lean, fast and fit. A year of bad eating, and a somewhat crippling (gym wise) elbow inujury sent me very far backwards. After seeing a picture made by Carl i've decided i want that back, i weighed myself on the 24th of April, and decided some big changed were in order. I weighed in at 74kilos :S
So I kicked my gym sessions up from 3 days a week to 6 days a week. I started eating a LOT more, im eating a lot of eggs, organising my carbs into different parts of the day and have adopted much better eating habits. Im working hard on every muscle now, as before i neglected legs, and back. As of 2 days ago i weighed 81.65kgs, with a body fat percentage of 10.1%. For those of you who think im just getting fat, 2 months ago on may 24th i was 78.8 kilos and 11.3%. Feeling stronger than ive ever felt, healthier than ever too, im done wishing my body was better, im achieving it.
-So things are going well, if you ware curious about anything please let me know, work is the same, my japanese is steadily improving, and ill catchya all later, im not saying ill update this regularly, but theres a distincy possiblity that i might.

So yeah about that Blog that i was regularly updating...
That totally never carried on did it :P
So yeah as a recap in the few months i spent dilligently not posting any information whatsoever, for my very dutiful 2 fans, i shall provide a list, lists are fun :D
-Number 1 is that my English skills are steadily deteriorating, so if im talking to
you in some way and im not making any sense at all, its because in order to learn a new language, i have to forget some of my old one to make room.
-I quit Facebook... :O OMG Rob you'll be back, no one truly leaves Facebook (Michael David Barret looking specifically at your failed attempts). Facebook fosters a sense that i need to have every aspect of my life documented, scrutinised and approved by my friends and their friends (depending on your account security settings of course). Regardless of what you say have a good, hard think about it and you know its true, social networking sites steadily eat away at any confidence many individuals may have in themselves, as they become entranced by meaningless strings of comments, 'likes' and the ridiculous social barricades and complexities all of this rubbish creates. How many of you have had a little smile inside as you saw your tiny blue globe light up with a little red '1'?
I have had a significant amount of time here to re-evaluate myself since i came here, and the thought process i followed while using the site apalled me.
I want to post a photo album :D Why do you want to do that Rob?
Well so my friends can see of course :) But why do you want them to see? You know you exactly how much fun you had or did not have, you know what you experienced, the sights, the sounds, the events which are so crudely and inaptly captured in a still picture, so really, why?
Because i want to..fell accepted? I want a compliment, a like, i want the acceptance that i already have, written down and digitally delivered so i can qualm my fears.
N.B. Thats not to say that everyone is like this, there are extremes in every case, and also very mild users, i would consider myself a mild user when i quit, and i respect all those who use it with none of these thoughts running through their mind. Even though my words may seem extreme, think on the the next time you are posting.
N.B.B. People with self shots, so MANY SELFSHOTS. You know exactly who you are. You are the bane of my existence. 'Oh look a party!?! Lets get ready and party!! OMG lets take 80 F%&'ing self shots as we get ready so everyone knows we are getting ready! OMG were at the party lets take self shots just in case people forget we were here!'
I got a tad sidetracked there, enter fresh blog.
