30 is the new 20!

Well that's if at 20 you just relax at home on your birthday and watch 24:Redemption. So I relaxed with Rie and Jack Bauer, which actually didn't feel like 24. The good news is that turning 30 didn't feel so bad. I still feel young and I have a new desire to become healthier. Today, I will buy some jogging shoes. Last week, I started mini workouts in my apartment.  Now that Spring is just around the corner(I thought it was here last week but then it snowed again this week) I am ready to get back in shape.  I don't have many problems with my old body except that sometimes my back hurts. I think it's genetic, from my dad. 
My parents are coming to town in about 1 month, I am very excited. So who will be next?  I hope a few more people come out to see what I think is a very nice, but little known city. Please keep reading the blog, Spring brings about a lot exciting things to do. I was getting bored of posting snow pictures.  So more will come, just wait a bit longer. And please, no bad language in your comments or I cannot post them(Pierce!).

Failure...

Success...

Snowboarding




One of the benefits of living in Hirosaki, Japan and not in the bigger cities is the chance to go snowboarding every weekend. I haven't quite been out that often, but have made it out about 7 or 8 times. I have only been to Ajigasaw this year but plan to visit Hakkoda and Owani or Hyakuzawa. Here's a taste of what I've been up to. Yes that is me flying through the air...and I landed that as well!
