My favorite artists were heavily influenced by Nichiren Buddhism. If it were just Buddhism, I wouldn't be too surprised (since a big part of the world is), but out of the many sects it just happens to be Nichiren Buddhism. Coincidence? Is this some obscure message for me?

Well, here's some wax poetique:

Well, I made it to the interview. I answered all of the questions, although I'll admit, a few I really couldn't answer too well -- I only know so much about teaching from actually being taught. If anything didn't get me this job, it would be a lack of teaching experience. I gave good, honest answers to all of the other questions -- although I was ( Read more... )

Well, I've got a job interview in an hour and a half. I remember the last time I posted an entry in here for the job interview, and indeed, as I said I would, jinxed myself.

Wow, I drank a lot today. My navy friend invited me back to a bar he used to work at. We had a huge gathering with all these people I graduated high school with. Fortunately, I stopped drinking at the right time. There's the point at which you have one more drink and you'd be drunk, but w/o that drink it's just right and you have that pleasant buzz ( Read more... )

Today was a pretty mellow day. My mom went out and my sister is at some party right now. So all I really did today was hand out candy to all of the kids that came by the house. I also decided to wear my kendo dress just to look different -- I figured Halloween was a good excuse for it. But alas, it's just not the same without the bamboo sword. ( Read more... )

I'm recovering from a hangover I had last night. My friend from the navy just got home yesterday so we chilled all night and most of the morning at a topless bar and casino in Greektown. I have to say I like Casino Windsor a little better, but it's refreshing going to a new place every once in awhile. And for those more affluent readers of my ( Read more... )
