This is a list I’ve compiled (among the countless other lists/surveys) of all the things I want to do or achieve before I die…a spin-off of the Bucket List idea.

  1. go to a Japanese Pop concert in Japan.
  2. go to a pro baseball game in Japan.
  3. watch a Kabuki stageplay in the famous Kabuki-Za theater in Tokyo.
  4. go to a pro Sumo wrestling match.
  5. go to the Forumla 1 Monacco Grand Prix race in Monte Carlo.
  6. go on an RV road trip.
  7. take a vacation on a house boat.
  8. take a gondola ride in Venice, Italy.
  9. go to the Tokyo International Film Festival (and maybe hang out with celebrities?).
  10. go to the Tokyo Auto Salon (a.k.a. Tokyo International Auto Show).
  11. own my very own traditional-style vacation home in Japan (possibly in Hakone).
  12. ride on a horse-drawn carriage in the snow.
  13. have a display room in my own place, filled with toys from the floor to ceiling.
  14. find a beagle dog that looks exactly like Snoopy (white fur, black ears).
  15. to see my fiancee wear a full Cosplay-style costume, complete with accessories.
  16. to reduce my habit of being a pack rat.
  17. to become a Dominatrix for a day (just for the hell of it).
  18. to have another big family reunion with my dad’s side of the family in Yokohama.
  19. to own my own business (even if it’s a side project or a weekend job).
  20. to re-learn how to play the piano again. (I want to get back to the level I was back in high school.)
  21. to become fluent in a foreign language (including reading/writing).
  22. to write a travel guidebook about Tokyo and/or Japan.
  23. to go camping with my fiancee, complete with a tent & a small camping grill. (But I would still pick a place with a community bathroom.  I don’t think I can rough it in the actual forrest.)

Check out this cool video I uploaded of this really cool Fibonacci stencil… Enjoy.

I absolutely love these digital paintings by Jorge Colombo!!!  They look like physically painted watercolors on a real canvas.  Yes, digital art is just as “real” as canvas art, but I’m trying to say that this looks as though if you were to touch the paper, the paint would still be wet.  These digital paintings are so beautiful.  They perfectly capture the aura of the big cities like San Francisco & New York!  It makes my heart swoon. I would love to put some of these artworks in my place.

These New York paintings from Portuguese artist Jorge Colombo look like they could be watercolor on canvas, but they are actually digitally produced. No photo references, no tablets, no brushes to wash: just his finger on the tiny iPhone touch screen! Drawn on location using an iPhone app called Brushes. Pretty Amazing!

Quote from Jorge Colombo:
“Brushes has limitations—I’ve been sticking to the older version (without layers) and working strictly from background towards foreground, which requires some discipline—but I love pushing a simple tool to its extremes.”
