This is my 2nd channel.

I'll use it mainly for response videos and random musings that don't really belong on my regular channel - Myargonauts

Thanks for stopping by. :D

I've given in and joined Twitter recently, so if you want to follow along during my last two months in Japan, check me out at:

Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones. -Marcus Aurelius, philosopher and writer (121-180)

From 2004 to 2009, I lived and worked in rural Japan, where I taught English at 2 Jr High schools and a few elementary schools. As of August '09 I'm back in the San Diego area - trying to figure out where to go next.

Hey Jason! Can you do a vlog on your favorite books?  What kind of books do you read? And also, you said you're a History major, but what kind of history: World History, U.S. History, Early Civilization? Do you have a favorite philosopher, like Nietzsche (who's my favorite)?

Hi Jason

Surprised to hear that you left Japan - but I guess 5 years is long enough. I've been here in Japan for over 4 years myself and not sure how much longer I will hold out. If you can, please tell me why you left.

Thanks for the comment Jason. Just got home from Judo after a long day of work, quite tired, and seeing that I was one of the very few winners for the Wasabi Kit-Kat contest surprised me completely. So happy!

Hey Jason thanks for making these videos they are really informative. I've been thinking about teaching in Japan as an ALT, I'm not sure if I will end up doing the JET program--I don't think I want to wait that long. But my question that I have is I've never taught a class before, so how have some of the JET's, who are in the same boat as I am, that you've witnessed in Japan, performed as teachers? Do they usually crash and burn or do some do surprisingly well. And I am a aware of your statement that every situation is different ESID. But what percentage of ALT's that you seen, succeeded?
Thanks
