Ok, so i keep on ignorning this thing for long periods of time.

Tonight I went to an SGI meeting. It was refreshing because I haven't seen a lot of these people in a long time. It's always nice to see these people's faces. Plus, it's nice to actually go to an SGI meeting. It has been a while since I went. I think the last time I went was a week or so before I flew back home, that would make it nearly a month since my last SGI meeting. That's probably why it was so good.

We're planning for next month's (13 July's) KRG (World Peace Prayer). It sounds like it's going to definitely be a great meeting...it almost always is. I just hope that I can get my shit together and actually do this.

On another note, I regret to inform the avid readers of goob (that's the name of my blog, if you haven't already figured out)...that my brother had a car accident a couple nights back. It wasn't a major accident, everyone was ok, but it looks like the car's going to need around $3 or $4 Ks of work on it. No one got hurt and it was a lower-speed accident. Too bad though, it means I *get* to be family taxi for at least the next couple of weeks (hopefully not longer than that). My brother even had the nice car with him, our Saab, so the family sedan is out of service for a while. I'm just glad that nothing happened to my bro, his passengers or the people in the other car (Toyo 4Runner). It seems like my brother was distracted by people driving a red car (like a Nissan 280Z) hatchback-style coming down College Av and didn't have enough space to stop before hitting the back of the Suv. Apparently the car looked bad, but my brother and his friends felt nothing in the cabin of the car. Good design...a plus.

It seems like their karma (mind the pun) was semi broken by this accident, at least it wasn't a bad accident and the shoten zenjin (buddhist dieties) were protecting that car. Phew!

It's more of an inconvenience to the family...but the real consequences have been that no one under 18 in my family will be able to drive others (except family) until they turn 18. It's mostly for safety, but I guess it's a good rule.

Ok, tonight will be my night to go to bed early, maybe around 11...?

I'll write more lata.
