Dave (the Daywalker)

It's getting hot...

About Me

"Ayo/ I usually play the background/ y'know, clean-cut, soft-spoken, well-dressed, dipped-out/ straight chillin' when I'm in the club, yo" --Phonte

(Actually, I don't go to clubs often. And I wouldn't describe myself as 'dipped out' either, but the rest applies...)

My Interests

Music- if I'm not making beats, I'm probably in a vinyl shop getting my fingers dusty. I can't stop.
Also... travel, photography, interior + graphic design, bowling, movies, 2-D shooters, chillin'.

I'd like to meet:

creative types, cool people in Tokyo, cool people anywhere

Music:

anything good. seriously.
(real Hip Hop's my favorite, tho)

Movies:

Coming to America, Back to the Future, Amelie, Fist of Legend, Spaceballs, Baraka...

(region coding sucks)

Television:

Heroes, Entourage, The Wire

Books:

my English-Japanese pocket dictionary

Heroes:

people doing what they're here to do

My Blog

?

Today's profound, rhetorical question:Are you *prepared* for what you're asking/wishing/praying for?

Boooo!

I just wanna make beats, y'all...Too bad Japan just can't pull a big, blue sheet over itself so terrorists will think it's part of the ocean and fly on by... (if that doesn't make sense, check the pr...

keep ya head up (!!!)

I used to think I was shy, but I don't think so anymore. My new perspective tells me I was actually more reserved than shy, even though I certainly had a few spine-deficient moments that I'm not prou...

"wow... theyre serious" *UPDATE*

(This is not a really "real" blog entry- I'm just using this platform to share an interesting article I came across that highlights a fundamental attitude difference between Japanese and Americans. N...

hold everything

This evening I took a ride to Shinjuku on a mission for some long-overdue additions to my musical set-up. On my way back, the escalator I rode up to the train station spit me out right in front of a ...

entry from 8.9.07

I took a different way home tonight.There's a building not far from my apartment- not exactly a skyscraper, but by far the tallest in the immediate area. I think of it as my beacon; because of its si...

I bought a bike today. I'm really excited about it because I essentially eliminated my need to take the crowded and costly trains; I can bike anywhere I *need* to go, which is a blessing.I took a qui...

which is which

Last weekend I visited a small formal wear shop close to the foreigner-friendly, ritzy-red-carpet/sleaze bucket area of Tokyo called Roppongi- I needed measurements for tux I've got to wear at my budd...
