While madly spring cleaning, I unearthed piles of memorabilia from Japan (along with a few live spiders). Creepy-awesome stuff from the past few years. Visual Kei indie band posters, Vampire Cafe matches, and Death Cookbooks. I’m itching to share these stories with you…

So I’m doing a live web stream on Blog TV! Please tune into my channel on Saturday April 23, from 5-6pm PT / 8-9pm ET. I’ll show-and-tell my goodies from Tokyo, and answer your questions in real time. And I bet Basil Farrow will waddle over to say hi.

Spring Cleaning made me realize that so much has evolved ever since I started this blog. The focus of my work, the people in my life, the things that matter.

In a nutshell, the past six months have been about: “Travel, fashion, alternative / Japan / pop culture: TV hosting and fixing. Journalism. Coolhunting. Professional blogging.” How about a run-through?

TELEVISION – Ever since the co-hosting the Andrew Zimmern Bizarre Foods show, my TV work has exploded — to the point that I started a TV hosting and fixing company with First Mate Naomi. In 2010, we Pirates hosted and arranged travel programs for Dutch Pepsi, Sony Australia, Belgium TV, Norway TV and more. We also provide coolhunting and trend consulting (details here).

BLOGGING – The blog’s subject has branched out from Japanese Goth fashion to alternative subcultures, travel and style worldwide. I’m enjoying the writing/photography more than ever, and the interaction with you Pirates! It’s been a wild ride, the opportunities that blogging has brought (design collaborations, modeling, travel for appearances and TV work).

JOURNALISM – I’m mainly writing in the travel genre now, with a focus on Asia / pop culture / bizarre. I followed my editor at CNNGo to Huffington Post and AOL Travel. We’re developing a special project for AOL… can’t wait to tell you! (All my Huff Post and AOL articles are here.)

CHARITY – One of the most rewarding things I’ve done recently is nonprofit work. I’m currently helping the NOH8 campaign, speaking out for animal rights, and raising funds in a variety of ways for relief efforts in Japan. Thank you for your support. Let’s do more, together.

    I really like the photo of you and Basil that you pasted your contact info on. Just a hint of alluring while still being classy like a modern version of an Early Audrey Hepburn.

    I’m definitely happy where I’m at now and everything has changed in the past few years. I graduated high school, started college, and have been studying Japanese for four years. Now that I think about it, I couldn’t see myself being a Journalism major. I’m looking forward to the next few years.

    Honestly all I want to do in the next two weeks is past my last exam, drink wine, do yoga, and play all the video games I have been saving for a holiday. I have other plans for world domination, but I need a break first. I’ve almost managed to master downward dog while still holding my controller in one hand and a wine bottle in my mouth, maybe this will be the year!

    You’ve come a long way. It’s pretty cool seeing the progress that’s been made. I hope you eventually reach the success of being to afford 300 dollar sushi.
    Oh, and I can’t wait to see how your eventual return to Japan will be like.(cthulu willing the radiation goes down) ^^;
