while checking my mail, i got a rather unexpected surprise. i got an email from an old friend of mine who i haven’t seen in a long time. it really brightened up my day. so we’re going to meet up sometime this weekend and catch up. it also sounds like i’ve got another model lined up so it’s going to be a bit of a busy weekend.

i’m volunteering on sunday for the [url=http://www.nikkeimatsuri.org/]nikkei matsuri[/url] in japantown in san jose on sunday. i’ll be working the JACL booth making strawberry shortcakes. how strawberry shortcakes promotes japanese culture, i’m not sure, but i’m there to represent, yo. errr, uh, yeah, something like that.

it’s interesting because i joined JACL/Next Generation because of the volleyball league. it’ll be interesting to see if there will be a bunch of japanese people at the festival or not. one would assume that that would be the case, but it’s so rare that i get to see many japanese people at all. we’ll see. i’ll be sure to bring my camera with me and take some shots of the festival. it should be fun. i have to find a hat, though. hmmm, i wonder if i can find one. that may be a bit of a challenge. anyway, i’ll be at the JACL booth from 1:30-3:00pm if any of you want to help support the japanese, yo. japantown, san jose, sunday, may 2. be there or be square.

[url=http://www.track15.com]dardy[/url] was talking about the different types of cheating. it is pretty obvious that you are cheating if you are physically kissing or sleeping with someone else. but he wonders if there is such a thing as emotional cheating.

i think that there is. emotional cheating is every bit as bad as physically cheating on someone else. but what constitutes emotional cheating? lusting after someone else? i don’t think that lusting after someone else (from afar) can be considered cheating. now lusting after someone else in front of your significant other is just stupid and will probably be the cause of a fight, but to privately covet another from afar? i don’t really think that’s emotionally cheating.

maybe it’s just guys. but just because a guy admires another woman from afar doesn’t mean that he loves his significant other any less. he just has an appreciation for beauty. but if you start to act on that, that is when i think you start to edge closer to the line of emotionally cheating.

i think that emotional cheating is where you share intimate parts of your life with one person, but not your significant other…unless of course that little intimiate part of your life is about your significant other, but hey, we all need someone to talk to. but yeah, if you start to do things with someone else, but refuse to do it with your significant other, that could be indicative of something.
