About Me

  • Born in Yokohama, Japan, at the age of 12 months my family moved lock, stock and barrel to Dublin, Ireland where my father was one of the original 6 Karate Masters to bring Wado-Ryu Karate to Europe in the late 1960's. Eventually settling in Birmingham, England at the age of 6 and spending my formative years there, I am more 'Brummie' (the term used to describe someone from the Birmingham area of the United Kingdom) than Japanese in every sense, particularly in my outlook on life and sense of humour.

  • I just 'am'

    December 6, 2009

    • I’m at peace.I just ‘am’.Am I content? I just ‘am’. My soul is quiet, my mind floats with no thoughts, my senses all neutral. Am I meditating? No. I just ‘am’.I had a desire to share this, so I let the desire write. The desire faded straight away so I’ll stop.

  • 23 years... seems like just yesterday

    November 28, 2009

    • Il destino. Destiny.Some things are meant to be. Some people are meant to meet. Gina and I were in the same place at the same time countless times throughout our childhood, despite living quite a distance from each other. I’ll write about that some other time. Today, a day before a very special day, I want to write about the day we met. Just over 23 years ago, I didn’t know it at the time but ...

    I've done it and it was hard but it was completely necessary. I tried for over 15 years and it was making me ill on so many levels.
