TOJO'S

SO I JUST GOT HOME FROM THE BEST JAPANESE SUSHI MEAL EVER!!! THIS IS GOING TO BE A SHORT POST JUST BECAUSE IM FULL AND IM TIRED :) IF YOU DONT KNOW, TOJOS IS HIDEKAZU TOJO RESTAURANT HERE IN VANCOUVER. HE IS CREDITED WITH THE CREATION OF THE CALIFORNIA ROLL AND THE BC ROLL. WE WENT THERE AND GOT THE OMAKASE, WHICH IS THE JAPANESE TERM FOR "I'LL LEAVE IT TO YOU." SO WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT OUR MEAL WAS GOING TO BE BECAUSE WE LEFT IT IN THE CHEFS HANDS. WE BASICALLY LEFT IT TO THE CHEF TO DECIDE WHAT TO SERVE US. IT WAS DEFINITELY AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE. WE DIDNT KNOW WHAT WE WERE GOING TO GET AND AFTER EACH DISH IT JUST MADE US WONDER WHAT WAS NEXT. I SORTA LOST TRACK OF HOW MANY COURSES WE HAD BUT AT LAST COUNT IM PRETTY SURE IT WAS ABOUT 12... YES!!! 12 COURSES!!! HAHA. I WOULD LOVE TO POST ALL THE PICTURES BUT THAT TAKES TOO MUCH TIME THESE DAYS SO YOURE GONNA HAVE TO FIND MY SNAPCHAT AND INSTAGRAM FOR THE PICTURES LOL. LETS SEE IF I REMEMBER ALL THAT WE HAD:

1. SASHIMI SALAD - SUPER FRESH AND OMG!!!
2. ASSORTED TEMPURA - SUPER LIGHT AND FLAVOURFUL 
3. OCTOPUS SALAD - THE TAKO WAS SO SOFT AND NOT LIKE REGULAR CHEWY
4. SPOT PRAWNS - PERFECTLY COOKED SO THE HEAD WAS GOOEY
5. WOOD SMOKED FISH - SMELLED SO GOOD!!! TASTED EVEN BETTER
6. LOBSTER ROLL - JUST LIKE IT SOUNDS :) CLASSY ROLL 
7. 5 CHEFS CHOICE SUSHI - BEST PIECE OF BLUEFIN TUNA I HAVE EVER HAD!!!
8. FISH ROE ROLL - SO MUCH WASABI!!!
9. 2 OTHER CHEFS CHOICE SUSHI - WHOLE SCALLOPS AND SMOKED SALMON
10. TOJO ROLL - THE REAL CALIFORNIA ROLL WITH REAL CRAB MEAT
11. GRAPEFRUIT JELLO - SUPER REFRESHING
12. SOME SORT OF PLUM ALCOHOL DRINK
13. AND LOTS OF SAKE IN BETWEEN :)

WELL I GUESS PICTURES OF ALL THE FOOD HELPS IN REMEMBERING. IVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS MEAL FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF I THINK AND IT DEFINITELY DID NOT DISAPPOINT. WE EVEN GOT A PICTURE WITH THE MAN HIMSELF. IF IT WAS BECAUSE OF A WORK THING, I DONT THINK I WOULD HAVE GONE THERE FOR A WHILE. BECAUSE IT IS SO GOOD, ITS ALSO REALLY EXPENSIVE. THE INTERIOR LOOKS REALLY NICE, LOTS OF SERVERS AROUND, AND A MIDDLE SUSHI BAR WHERE YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING BEING MADE. IF I GET THE CHANCE AGAIN I WOULD DEFINITELY GO... ITS MORE OF A SPECIAL OCCASION PLACE. UNTIL NEXT TIME :)

REST OF LIFE... SAME OLD, WORK, HANGING OUT. NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED IN THE WEEK. OH I DID GO TO PLAYLAND FOR THIS THING AND IT WAS PRETTY GOOD. HUNG OUT WITH THE FAMILY AND EVERYONE ELSE, ATE, AND THEN WENT TO THE HORSE RACING TRACK TO EAT SOME MORE. I HAVENT BEEN THERE IN YEARS AND IT WAS FUN. END OF THE DAY AFTER BEING UP AND DOWN, I LEFT ONLY BEING DOWN $10, WHICH WAS REALLY GOOD. ITS JUST A DIFFERENT ATMOSPHERE. NICE WEEKEND ALL TOGETHER. NOW TIME TO GO SLEEP. PEACE!

LIVE SHOWS

SO I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT ALL THE SHOWS I HAVE GONE TO RECENTLY OR HEARD ABOUT. IM TALKING ABOUT CONCERTS, EVENTS, AND LIVE SPORTS. I DONT GO TO MANY CONCERTS BUT I HAVE BEEN TO A BUNCH FOR THE PEOPLE I LIKE A LOT, BUT I HAVE GONE TO MANY MANY MANYYYYYYYYY EVENTS, WHEN I SAY EVENTS I MEAN DJ SHOWS HAHA, AND TO QUTIE A FEW LIVE SPORTS. FOR BOTH CONCERTS AND EVENTS YOU ALREADY KNOW THEIR SONGS, YOUVE HEARD IT BEFORE THERES NOT MUCH NEW ABOUT IT. FOR BOTH CONCERTS AND SPORTS A LOT OF TIME YOU CAN WATCH IT ON TV OR ONLINE. SO FOR MOST OF THEM YOU HAVE EITHER HEARD IT BEFORE OR YOU CAN WATCH IT ELSEWHERE. THEN WHY IS IT THAT EVERYONE MAKES SUCH A BIG DEAL ABOUT GOING TO SEE IT LIVE...??? THE MAIN REASON IS THE ATMOSPHERE!!! WATCHING SOMETHING LIVE WITH FRIENDS OR FAMILY IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM JUST WATCHING OR LISTENING TO IT BY YOURSELF AT HOME. THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU AND THE ENERGY IN THE VENUE JUST BRINGS THE EMOTIONS AND ENERGY UP. BEING SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME INTERESTS JUST MAKES FOR A BETTER TIME. THERES BEEN TIMES WHERE IM WATCHING A HOCKEY GAME OR BASKETBALL GAME OR SOCCER GAME AT HOME BY MYSELF AND WHEN THEY SCORE ITS JUST LIKE OK GOOD FOR THEM, BUT WHEN IM AT THE GAME ITS LIKE THE WHOLE PLACE JUST ERUPTS AND SCREAMS LIKE THERES NO TOMORROW. SAME THING FOR A PENALTY... AT HOME I WOULD JUST BE LIKE MEH, BUT AT A GAME I WOULD YELL AND SWEAR. IT ALL JUST TIES IN TO THE PSYCHOLOGY OF GROUP BEHAVIOUR/HERD BEHAVIOUR AND HOW PEOPLE ALIKE ACT IN GROUP SETTINGS. A BIG PART OF GOING TO SHOWS THESE DAYS ARE MORE ABOUT SOCIAL STATUS THAN ACTUALLY GOING FOR THE SHOW ITSELF. PEOPLE POST ALL OVER SOCIAL MEDIA TELLING EVERYONE AND SHOWING EVERYONE WHERE YOU ARE, HOW CLOSE YOU ARE, EITHER YOU HAVE THE MONEY TO GO, OR WHO YOU KNOW. ITS ALL TOO TRUE THAT BEING ABLE TO GO TO SOMETHING THAT IS EXCLUSIVE OR SOLD OUT JUST MAKES THEM THINK IT ELEVATES THEM SOMEHOW. HONESTLY IVE DONE THE SAME THING BEFORE... IF YOU CHECK MY IG YOU CAN SEE A BUNCH OF THEM, BUT FOR ME I FEEL ITS MORE OF A JOURNAL OF MY LIFE... THEN AGAIN ITS NOT MUCH DIFFERENT OF TRYING TO LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT OR WHERE I AM OR HAVE GONE. IT REALLY IS HUMAN NATURE ALWAYS TRYING TO ONE UP EACH OTHER, TRYING TO PROVE THAT THEY ARE BETTER, OR IN OTHER WORDS SHOW OFF LOL. NOT MUCH YOU CAN REALLY DO ABOUT THAT SINCE WE LIVE IN THE DIGITAL AGE AND WHERE SOCIAL MEDIA IS SO PREVALENT EVERYWHERE IN KEEPING EVERYONE CONNECTED. SNAPCHAT IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF THIS AND PERISCOPE IS LIVE BROADCASTING TO THE WORLD WHERE YOU ARE. IT CAN ONLY GET WORSE IS WHAT I THINK... SO... WITH EVERYTHING SAID IM GOING TO A PARTY THIS WEEKEND AND IL MOST LIKELY HAVE PICTURES AND SNAPS UP ABOUT IT... AHEAHEHAHA

IN OTHER NEWS... IM STILL BLOCKED FROM FACEBOOK... I REALLY DONT NOTICE IT ANYMORE... I DONT GET CONSTANT NOTIFICATION FROM THEM SO THATS ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD. WORKS WORK, GOT A FEW DAYS OFF FOR CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR SO SHORT WEEK THIS WEEK AND NEXT. THATS GOOD SINCE ITS A MUCH NEEDED LITTLE BREAK. JUST BEEN GOING OVERDRIVE FOR THE PAST YEAR ALMOST AND NEED A LITTLE BIT OF A BREATHER. EVEN MY VACATION WAS BUSY... SO NOW I GET A CHANCE TO JUST HANG OUT AND CHILL A BIT WITH THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS. OH OH OH THE PAST MONDAY WAS THE ANNUAL COMPANY CHRISTMAS DINNER. IT WAS NICE AND EVERYONE HAD A GREAT TIME :) AS THE SOCIAL COORDINATOR I HAD 5 GAMES SET UP, TALKED A BIT, AND DELIVERED THE SECRET SANTA PRESENTS. IT WAS GREAT JUST RELAXING WITH EVERYONE AND STUFFING OUR FACES LOL.

WELL CHRISTMAS IS ON FRIDAY SO I WISH ALL MY READERS AND THEIR FAMILIES A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY :)
