Perfect example of clueless banking. You go to deposit money into your bank account.  The ATM tells you you need to pay 108 Yen (about $1 USD)service fee because you’re depositing at 845am and not 9am.

Someone needs to come in and show banks in Japan how to truly be competitive.  This is a joke.  In my bank, I would want people to deposit money so I could loan it to others…

This is a part of the menu mindset that makes Japan non-competitive.  You can read more about that here.

Cool? Remember this guy?

As the heart is a muscle it also grows, when you take steriods… drugs.  When someone has arms that look really big, they are probably on drugs that are damaging their bodies.  Not just their heart, but also their intestines and other organs.

Interestingly enough, this guy had to have some heart operations following his drug damage. Any idea how many times?  The rumor is three times from the trainers we konw.

This year the world is seeing a lot of changes. My friend from the gym told me he doesn’t read the news, yet he is a very successful investor. Ignoring the ‘noise’ that changes every day called news, and focusing on what matters for you, your family, and your area is part of leaving a positive legacy.

Interesting to see all the excitement regarding US politics. As an international citizen, we always wince when American politicians refer to the US as “the greatest nation on the earth”, when many of us Americans have never been to outside the country.

Hope to see term limits on American Congress members implemented this time and an end to Bush, Clinton, Obama, Trump, Kennedy, or any other type of dynasties in the future. GAMBATTE US!

Politicians are very famous for being.. well.. politicians.  It discouraging to be in a country led by weak leadership because that leadership will eventually effect the nation.  That will affect the businesses and the economy of those nations.  The end result is economic prosperity for we the people.  A corrupt nation is likely corrupt due to it’s national leadership.  The root is there.

We know what that last eight plus years brought America, what promises were kept and  what promises were broken.  It would seem like mostly failure despite efforts to package it differently. Unfortunately, if you watched American politics during the period it was mostly division and distraction.  We can do so much better than that.

Who knows about the next four years, could it be any worse than the last few years?  Who knows? The above video is someone’s observation of what Americans might expect from the new US President.  Do you think these really are the top 25 issues?

We have high hopes for America and despite any leadership, pray that the people will see what they are doing today, affects what they can do tomorrow.

Have you got your DWARF Mission?

Saw this at a print shop in Tokyo.  Even reading the Japanese this seems strange.

The Japanese says something like,

“Using and making are connected to now…”

Suppose the owner is a Lord of Rings fan.

Was amazed by the quality of the one of the bands at the TAC Bonenkai. Fantastic! Will post the video soon.

One thing. When someone is recording something, whatever you do, don’t get in front of their cameras. It may seem funny to you at the time (even if you drank too much) but they are recording for a purpose and you mug will be recorded for eternity in a place you don’t want it to be…or at least a very long time.

Overall, great year end party even if you don’t drink. Good gathering of people augmented by excellent musicians.
