Fun Time at Kebab-Ye Yesterday
I went to dinner at my favourite Kebab place yesterday with local Tokyo socialite/photographer (and awesome dude) Christopher Jue. I had originally planned on making small talk, when I ran into my friend Syed Hatoyama. The three of us started talking when a stylish girl walked into the store. She seemed to know Syed, and I started poking him about their relationship; he was visibly shaken and told me in a quiet voice that her boyfriend was in the store. The big guy had a sense of humor and we exchanged pleasantries before I got back to talking to Chris.
The weird thing happened about 15 minutes later. I had forgotten to remove Taluva from my backpack, and I suddenly realized there were just enough people to play the game. I pulled out the box and yelled “Hey dude, wanna play?” in Japanese to the two strangers (and Syed as well). Oddly enough, they concurred (as long as they could play as a team) and off we went.
Turns out the girl was a Japanese champion at Karate, and the guy was a math major / Karate blackbelt himself. He was a quick learner too; he won the game handily on his first go at it. We traded emails and I told him to come by anytime.
I don’t know why I’m even blogging this, except for the fact that this was the first time I had such a spontaneous event in Tokyo and this socializing through board gaming thing actually worked. (For those who aren’t in the know, I brought board games to Tokyo with me because a few of the guests at my house parties seemed to have a hard time talking to the other guests; light gaming seemed to be a good ice breaker to me.) I’m going to try this more often, maybe at the local Starbucks or something.
Okay. You are fucked up… why the fuck would you make this hurt website. Honestly your so CHAPPED. Think about it, no one ever goes to this site you friendless FUCK.. and your fucking spending time writing lame little blogs, that no one gives a shit a about. When is the last time you got laid!? Oh my gosh, I actualy feel bad for you. Hahaha but at the same time, your to pathetic to show your personality in real life so you do it over the internet. Shit, youre a fuicking muslim living in tokyo. Peace out you obama binladin tokyo mother fucker.

You do realize that your IP points to a BC government library, which implies you are too poor to be able to afford Internet in the house?

Jawaad, I’m more interested by the fascinating grammatical structure this individual has chosen to construct in ‘obama binladin tokyo mother*****’. I’m trying my best to grasp it but it just eludes me the moment I ‘m able to see so much as a sliver of light.
The question of the double negative of spelling imbecility also eludes me – when one is idiot enough to not just get ‘you’re’ wrong but follow that, quite immediately, with getting ‘too’ wrong; does this double negative entendre thus negate itself? Pity my poor limited Muslim mind!
Your poverty in using the public library, ignorance, jealous racism, and imbecility in the basics of the English language; have you thought to perhaps connect the dots, you small-minded dredge of humanity?

Hey!~ I have no clue how this website came up. I was trying to go to google.ca and somehow came here. And because the title of this site is so incredibly absurd, i am wasting my precious time reading it and posting a reply to your bolgs.
first, keep it up. don’t listen to mr. negative up there. that guy in New York with Waiter Rant.com did it for a while and eventually it got popular and then he wrote a bestselling book……which i bought….and its good. and youre religious….so youre deffinitely going to get a lot more Mr. Negative’s replying….but religion is controversial…..so write some controversial things and get people going and you’ll get more hits to your site. if i found this site accidentally, chances are more people will too. figure out how to get it included in a google search. if you need some help or more ideas, feel free to give me a shout.
second, religion is redonkulous. why are you afraid of hell? your head is in your arse. if there was an all powerful all knowing god, would you really want to worship the kind of monster that would banish someone to an eternity of suffering for something done here? think about how long an eternity is. FOREVER! and think about how long youre on this planet. relative to the speed things move along in the universe, its like a friggen fraction of a fraction of a micro-second. catch my drift? nothing you could possibly do in this life would be punishable by hell. it doesnt make sense. hell doesnt exist and neither does the god in your book. read a few things about paleontology and achaeology and physics and evolution. youre uneducated about the world and because of your naivity youve been inticed into a redonkulous religion by the promis of heaven. abandon your religion and do some soul searching. read a DIFFERENT book! smoke a joint! experience some new perceptions. but most of all….have fun in tokyo without going to hell.

Hi Mr. Awesome,
I’m not particularly afraid of hell. The line on the top of my blog was a reference to a conversation I had with a friend of mine in Singapore who told me that people who come to Tokyo leave after experiencing some sort of personal hell. I am not sure if you’ve ever come to Tokyo, but living here is quite a different experience than living in Montreal was for me.
It might surprise you but there really is very little odd about being a Muslim in Tokyo. There’s quite a few; it’s relatively easy to get Halal food (as compared to Kosher food, for example). It is a rare niche I guess, but I did originally register this domain to make it easier to find information about stuff like mosques and prayer schedules.
While I appreciate your intention, I think you would have a very different perspective on religion if you had the opportunity to interact with Japan’s younger generation (the majority of whom have no religious belief whatsoever). I find that religious belief widens one’s appreciation of life, although I can understand why you would feel otherwise. Still, give it a shot sometime. You might be surprised at the sorts of problems people run into.
I am not trying to get this blog famous or anything, it is simply my site to catalog some programming and everyday things I run into. I’m not a Glen Beck so you won’t be seeing me write controversial stuff for the sake of being controversial; I much prefer being myself and giving my honest opinion.
Thank you very much for your civility, it’s rare. I actually received 5 other comments like the one above, all of which trace back to different Christian colleges in Canada; it’s funny and doesn’t bother me that much anymore.
P.S.: I’m sorry about that google misspelling thing. I bought some redirects and some are coming from a google canada spelling error. I have an idea on how to deal with that, I will be sure to have it up and running sometime next week.
