Howdy y’all!

Well, Melissa and I have officially done it. We’ve signed a contract for buying a house. Now, for those out there who haven’t bought a house yet, this doesn’t mean that we have the house quite yet. Signing the contract simply means that we guarantee that we will buy the house assuming we are able to obtain financing (ie: a mortgage).

For the past 3 weeks, Melissa and I have been on the hunt for a home. We’ve been throwing enough money into our apartment complex, and since they decided to be punks and tell us that we can’t get credited for the “Internet Credit” that they had been letting us do for a year and a half, we’ve decided it’s finally time that we move towards ownership rather than renting. Not to mention, painting and home improvement projects are fun!

I’ve finally made some significant improvements to my website, especially when it comes to the Photos page. I’ve finally gotten around to using the photos that are already uploaded and just imported them into the Gallery system, so now (most) of them are all available. Just simply click the Photos link above (or back to your left) and check them out. Register an account and rate some of them!

Lately many individuals have been asking me whether I’m depressed or down. I don’t know where they’ve been getting that impression, but from what I can tell, most people think I’m exhibiting these factors.

Hopefully the final part to this last journal entry…

This is a continuation of the previous entry in my Journal because it was so long to read…

Well, I am officially on the airplane back to America. This has been an amazing trip, and there are plenty of more things to write about.

Today was our first day in Tokyo - being able to do stuff at least. Last night we checked into the hotel & got dinner at Jonathan’s Family Restaraunt - a chain here in Tokyo (at least). Let me continue on with my previous rants before I talk about today’s adventures.

This is the second part to the enormously long post I wrote in my Journal on New Years Day.
