I'm the only one "hauling ass all over" Tokyo.
"I've got to get the fuck out of" Tokyo.
Show and tell.
Answering to "why Japan?" Without a show of hands.
Games being over. I know continuing is going
to cost me.
I am only distracting the people I can't help.
The thought of gift giving
to bring all that is good together.
Or maybe I just don't think like people
who think they aren't people.
Cradling all that is real. In awe of what's really unreal.
How will I be remembered?
Hentai is dead and all I can think of is
how in the world was I able
to rent that from the video store?
If you film Japanese girls
people will remember you too.
Imagine
running out of film and having to tell a story.
Losing footage.
Having history
but then you lose it and it's history again.
They say you carry what you learned in school.
Free lunch tickets are a different color
than regular lunch tickets.
The first words I learned in Japanese were
"konjo nashi," and ask me how many times
I've read "pretty face" while watching Akira?
A lot.
A Japanese tutor? No, the La Blue Girl VHS box set.
"And if you take it personally, then yeah,
it can seem perfect."
Coal for the fire.
Coal can turn into diamonds.
Diamonds can keep you warm in the winter.
"By the power invested in me."
A Japanese girl chauffeur?
You should pay me to write a book like this
or help me sell things.
I want to sell jeans with burnt holes
in their pockets
and jeans that have been rubbed up against Japanese
pussy on one leg. Japanese girls'
ass on the other pant leg,
maybe some tits on the fly and call it
hand me downs.
For everyone who collects things, "I'm sorry."
Rearrange your furniture.
The person in charge of the whale tours
has seen them all.
Have you seen the Frosted Mini Wheats
vanilla crème cereal commercial in Amerca
where a Japanese girl says "oishii!" And
it doesnt even have subtitles?
I talk about Genesis and I get asked,
"Neon Genesis?"
What if the cars that drove past,
knew who I was?

"No, sorry, I get paid on the first."
Scary words.
Like knocks on the door that lead to
no door at all.
"Hiroshi, why do you keep repeating yourself?"
"Hiroshi Ozora, is that you?"
Things that never get seen or heard
or talked about or taught.
Google: Tokyo Photos 1992.
Google: Tokyo Photos 2005.
"Some things were just meant to be."
And George Lucas once said,
"I've had enough success in my life."
And well
I've slept on floors my entire life,
then I went to Japan
and everyone there sleeps on the floor.
So hey George,
"I think we are being followed."
I heard it through the rape vine.
So many people used to pretend
to be interested in me
and now so many people pretend to
not be interested in me.
Most gold medalists are wearing bronzer.
"Tell me something I don't know."
In the 90s my mother enrolled in college
to get student loans to feed us.
My older brother pieced a junk computer together.
Since my mom was a student she got free dialup
internet and
at the age of twelve, when we had electricity,
I was running one of the most popular hentai websites
on the internet.
Most "things are better left unsaid," but
I wore a girl's Sailor Moon backpack in middle school.
And guess what table I sat at during lunch?
The one with the Japanese girl exchange students.
My mother soon realized that I was obsessed
so she put a password on our computer and I couldn't use it.
One night after everyone had gone to bed
I went to the computer, turned it on and stared
at the password prompt.
About five or six hours into me trying to crack the code,
password: Dayton94
(loading windows... ) Our family was flying to Ohio
in about a week and it was the year 1994. Can you imagine
how it felt for me to have never given up
and then finally got it?
This is
for those of us who have considered homelessness in Tokyo
the next step towards a bigger and brighter future.
"but what is customs going to say when you show up
packing enough enema power to clean out a whale?"
Japanese blondes have more fun.
It's not a movie.
The Earth is giving my lungs air to breathe
while Japan takes my breath away.
Franklin Odo - Smithsonian's Asian Pacific Amercan director,
me and a room full of people.
"Louder than words."
My mother told me over the phone on Tuesday that
there are medications to take if "you don't have any friends,"
and that if I saw a therapist they could prescribe, get this,
"pills that would allow you to want to go
someplace other than Japan." I'm not kidding. She said that to me.
But there are no scripts in my movie for her.
"I can picture it now."
