Let's talk Miyavi

This is my section that I call "J Rock Infected." Those who know me, know that I have a passion for Japan and Japanese music. My tastes run from J rock, to J hip hop, and my all time favorite, Visual Kei!

I wanted to get into Miyavi.

Miyavi is really Takamasa Ishihara (石原 貴雅 Ishihara Takamasa, born September 14, 1981) who is a Japanese visual kei musician. His work as guitarist for Due le Quartz and his successful solo career has really established him as an accomplished musician in the Japanese music scene. Miyavi calls himself the "Samurai Guitarist." His playing style is unique, as he does all sorts of tricks and slap picking on top of his jumping about and smiling as he plays.His mother is Japanese and his father is Korean. He is also 6'1. He came to the US to learn English and is married and has two daughters.He currently resides in Japan. 

(Yeah, I have a slight crush on him..I know..hush.) Right now he is touring and comes to the States regularly. 

A few more pictures of him and two videos:"Selfish Love" and "Survive" which are my favorite songs of his..oh, and "Torture." Enjoy.

I hope you enjoyed the first installment of "J Rock Infected!" Sayonara!

Tooth pain and presents!

Okay, so my tooth has been killing me for months now. I just got health insurance and I dashed off to the dentist. Come to find out, I had an infected gum. I was put on antibiotics and pain meds. Good news is, I get to keep all of my teeth. I am so happy about that. Imagine me, with dentures. I mean I would love to have had veneers but there is nothing like having your own teeth. I go back next week.

I don't understand how I can work for so long and not have health insurance. I had to be damn near destitute in order for me to even be able to get assistance..and I find that to be totally wrong on all levels. I worked and got nothing for it. I swear, I am going to leave this country. I am Japan bound.

I got some lovely presents from my sister. I got some stuff for my teeth and some cream for my knees.The teeth cleaning concoction tasted really good, all natural. I used it as soon as I got it and I was totally impressed. It's called Natura Dentizime I really enjoyed the taste of it, and it foamed a bit as I was brushing too. I will be using it daily in my oral care regimen.

The cream for my knees is called Arnicare. I've not used it yet but I know she wouldn't steer me wrong. I do a lot of walking and will be going back to the gym soon so it came right on time!

She sent me howlite for helping with my insomnia, and ametrine for keeping depression and negative energies away too. Cleaning them now in salt water and the charging comes after. I promise I'll be more interesting next post!

 About to listen to some J rock music..yes!

It's been awhile..

Well, things have been mighty different these last few months. I haven't been writing for a while because of my writer's block and other things. I said I was going to make it a point to write as much as I can every day, because I've become right lazy. So for the past few months I have been working on my fitness. I have always been curvy, but I want to make sure I have myself in hand before the old age hits me. I walk 2-6 miles a day and try to eat better. I really think that when I get myself together, I will be healthier and also happier.

So I am looking for a new job, because my old one wasn't the best of places to work. I think that I am going to just focus on getting myself together with this school thing. I am determined to see it through.
