Wow, I am actually updating! here's a special treat from me to you, pictures! Yes, I am making my grand entrance to the 21st century.

JAPAN

well, as many of you all know, Tom Hanks and I are homies.  Here we run into each other in a Shinto shrine.  Of course, since he was w/his family I didn't want to disturb their pictures....but I shot some anyways.

Japan is awesome. You can get anything you want in a vending machine, observe:

everything in Japan is tiny, which made it hard for Bobo. He hit his head on everything. Look at our room-can you believe there are  t h i r t e e n  beds in here?

Denny's is high class here. You ring a bell and someone comes running.

I'm a celebrity in Japan..
