Josh in Japan

Hello everybody. I know it has been an eternity since I’ve written anything. I am still alive and well here in Orlando. I am however not sure to as what the future of the podcast will be.

It’s kind of odd thinking that I should be discussing life in Japan when it’s been over a year since I’ve actually lived there. There are many more people who are way more qualified than myself to speak on the topic since I’m not there. True, I visit Japan every once in a while (including an upcoming trip next month) but that is far from making me an expert (even though I never was to begin with). The closest I come to Japan nowadays is playing pokemon on my Nintendo DS.

I would like to continue some sort of podcast but I’m not sure what the topic should be. I’ve thought of doing a podcast with my wife but that is pretty much not an option since she is so shy and wants nothing to do with podcasting. So, I don’t know…….. maybe I should give up on it all together. It’s not like when I started podcasting and there were so many options. There’s a podcast for everything now. All of my interests are more than well taken care of in the podcasting realm.

As for me, there’s been some updates…..

• I am fatter thanks to school.
• I’m done with school and am now a Florida Paramedic.
• I modded my Japanese Wii to be able to play US games.
• I stood in line for the iPhone on iDay.
• I’ve hacked my iPhone.

Exciting huh? Well, I’ll figure things out while I’m in Japan and get back to you on what the future will hold.

Thanks to everyone who has written and given me encouragement. Thanks to everyone for sticking with the feeds. Take care and talk to you soon.

Mata-ne!

So here’s the deal…..

I am still alive and running my butt off. I just started the second semester of paramedic school as well as working full time on an ambulance. The wife and kids will be arriving here in Florida in a month or so. Homework, apartment prep, clinicals, 48 hour work weeks, and trying to get a better paying job. Other than that I have all the time in the world.

I closed and deleted the forums due to the overwhelming porn spam. I can’t and don’t want to keep up with all of it so bye bye it went. I’m also going to delete the josh in japan email address because of the 100+ spams I get per day. Again, the give o’ shite meter for the email has gone down to 0 when it comes to email clean-up. In the future I’ll set up a gmail account for the podcast when it gets it’s feet again.

I want to finally say thank you to the 1400 odd people who are still staying subscribed to the feeds. You are the “man/woman”.
Take care guys and talk to you again in the undetermined future.

Mata-ne!
