Let there be internets

I have internet in my home now. I'm extremely tired. I didn't sleep well for a couple nights, and then I slept well but for few hours last night. I stayed up late first doing homework, but then showering, washing dishes, and cooking much food for lunch today. I bring a ton of food to school everyday. It is enjoyable and delicious. I really like cooking. I went to Judo three times this week (each time, since wednesday was canceled). So I'm doing quite a bit of martial arts. Which is good I guess. Now I'd like to try to do more art/writing. I've decided that I want to be a writer, a song writer, a painter, a comic drawer, a t-shirt designer, among other things. Maybe I'll try my hand at ceramics and wood working when I get the chance. I don't like having to go to school and take classes. It gets in the way of fun, and probably makes me learn less Japanese, but I don't care about that too much. I've sort of don't care that much about Japanese anymore. I just wish I had more time for art, travel, reading?maybe, etc.
I have two friends who have web comics. I enjoy reading both of them. I found it funny that they both have posted recently about the problems that they are having, mostly internal, with continuing to create comics for their sites. I hope they figure out a good way to keep being creative, and that it is enjoyable and or fulfilling. I have a hunch that neither of them read this, so i'll consider talking with them directly.
I think I'll check out threadless, and then dedicate some time to cleaning up some of my drawings and submitting them as designs. If I get even a little bit of positive feedback, it may encourage me to do more creative things.
I'm trying to think of things I can do on a boat as well. I could write. Probably non-fiction would be good at that point. I could learn to play acoustic guitar. I could learn to sail :)
I really like some of the people that I have met here in Tokyo. I don't spend as much time with them as I did with my friends back home though. I would like to maintain friendship with them, and I hope that many of them will someday come visit EnC. (i somehow wouldn't be surprised if I lived there for many years to come). but i doubt that they will come, and our friendships will probably not really last for so long. Still, if I were to stay friends with at least 1, that would be pretty cool, I think, and far from impossible.
I don't particularly like Japan, I think. I know that I don't like Tokyo too much. But really, I think that the idea of Japan may have a connotation more negative than positive in my brain. I like some of the people, some of the places, some of the customs, but still, the way things are is frustrating.
shower power.
