I'm taking a short breather tonight (Midnight) from my own stuff... and instead want to point you to a blog written by my good friend Mike Rogers - a foreigner living in Japan. He's an opinionated SOB with a heart of gold.
I only just discovered that on MY birthday this past November 8 he posted a fantastic blog about what life was like in Tokyo back in 1979, 1984 and today.
He also managed to give me a shout-out and links to Japan - It's A Wonderful Rife and to another blog written by Mister Manfred Mann who may or may not be me called: How To Survive Women. I've neglected it for a couple of weeks because I've been busy and a bit burned out at work... the type of work that pays the bills and puts food on the table, as opposed to this blog which merely feeds my ego. I have a lot more to give to HTSW... and to It's A Wonderful Rife...
Anyhow... I just wanted to publicly state that Mike is one of the best friends I have ( I have a few. Really), even though he and I have yet to meet.
Yet.
Please help me thank him by visiting his awesome blog: Marketing Japan and following him everyday.
Much like how writing letters everyday for the entire month of March 1991 to my friend Rob Jones inspired me to write short stories, and much like how being delusional with a fever inspired me to think I could be a writer, Mike has inspired me to be a better blogger and is the real reason I have posted a blog every day since January 28, 2011 - posting, for me, an astounding 553 blogs without missing a day. And, while he didn't know it at the time, I also made it my goal to post more than him. I'm winning by 30 blogs... and it would have been closer if he knew it was a contest.
Now that he knows there's a race... perhaps in 2012 we'll have the most expensive car crash in and about Japan - but with our blogs...
Cheers, Mike.
And thanks again for the fantastic birthday present. You've made it a wonderful rife for me. Well... you and all of you loyal readers who read pretty much all I write. You know who you are. Thanks. There is nothing more satisfying to a guy who thinks he is a writer to know that someone reads his stuff.
Nothing at all.

Hmmm... I still wrote longer than I thought I would.
