Fujisan Sunrise Trip

Just got done sleeping off the effects of climbing Mt. Fuji... it was really a good climb and a lot of fun. My freind Jety and I pulled an all nighter - we started climbing around 9:15 PM and got to the halfway point pretty in about 2 hours - we ate and tried to get some rest there, but we had packed light and were freezing so we moved on from there at a slower rate.

We summited at about 2:30 AM and the wind was whipping ... the night pic above shows the cloudy mist that we were experiencing. There were hundreds of people already up there and all of the good sheltered spots were taken. We settled for a semi-sheltered spot on the edge of a small cliff and waited for the sun to come up. It was freezing. The sky started to turn pink out to the east and we went over to that side of the cone....

A sweet view of the sunrise combined with a delicious PBJ and some morning berry energy drink!! We then took the cone trail around the top of the mountain. It was a real popular day to climb and there were so many people up there it was ridiculous... I saw lots of people climbing in blue jeans and one guy who had bloody taped up feet because he thought it was a good idea to climb a volcanic gravel field in sandals!

It was a good time... Next mountain to check out is the #2 tallest in Japan called the Southern Alps.

Green Eggs and Ham

So there has been a lot of this going on lately......

Particularly I really like this page:

I think it is the expression on the dude's face.... he's like --"WHAT!!! - A GOAT!!!???" Yeah that Sam-I-Am is crazy. By the way you ever notice that the Dude's name is never revealed in the story? I mean Sam-I-Am is introduced right away - twice even, but you never find out what the dude's name is. My best guess is that he's somehow related to Goofy

Do you see the striking similarities? Same hat, same ears. Yeah, i'm pretty sure they're related. So i've been inserting "Hey Goofy" on every page where Sam-I-Am is talking and ir really makes the story read a lot smoothlier.

So that's all for now folks.... as Woody the Woodpecker says,

"DDDDD DDDDD DDDDDDD!!!"

Ninjas Everywhere!

So the ninja, yakuza and samurai warriors were all keeping me real busy the last couple of months, so I had to keep it way on the down low while I was dodgin shirikin and other crazy claw weapons all the time. But now I'm back! I finally got the Chinese Triads to intervene and the Yakuza were convinced to call a truce at least until after the Olympics are over....





So BJ Bigboy has been buggin me to announce his VP candidate for like a month now and I'm always tellin JB to chill out, wait till the timing is right and stuff... so now is the time.



That's right! The Colonel has joined up the JB for a real power ticket. The Colonel will bring a solid foundation to the ticket with his military experience and common vision to where the country needs to go. So take that McCain and Obama - the Colonel has been fully vetted and we know you were both trying to snatch him up for yourselves, but now it looks like Obama is gonna be stuck with Hillary. Sucker!
