Billy

Last week, on my way back to the classroom after I bought my new spiffy sneaks, I saw Billy Blanks. Yes, the famous Boot camp guy. He was crossing the street with his wife and child in Shinsaibashi. I read in an article a while back that he was from Pennsylvania, which is where I am from, so I quickly decided talk to him and abruptly stopped and yelled out:
Me: He Billy, are you from Philadelphia?
Billy: Nah, not Philly. But outside of Philly, in Eerie Pennsylvania. Where you from sir?
Me: I am from Philadelphia, Cheltenham to be exact. You know where that is?
Billy: Yep, I do.
Me: So where are you living now?
Billy: I am living in Ibaragi. It is nice, quiet town, and I like running, so it is nice to run in the nature out there.
Me: Well, anyway, sorry for interrupting you with your wife and kid, but it was nice to meet you. Thanks a lot for taking the time to talk to me.
Billy: No problem, sir. Stop by my studio any time, it's right around the corner.
Me: Alright, will do. Take Care.
Billy: You too sir.
And we shook hands, and I went on my way.
To be honest, Billy was a true gentleman and unbelievable polite. He referred to me as "sir," multiple times. I am about twenty years younger than him. I was really surprised and meeting him and sensing his genuineness, was a humbling experience for me.
I really wish him success with his studio and life in Osaka!!

To change the subject, do you remember the title of the blog I wrote a few days ago?!
YES WE KAN!!!
Well, now there is a company in Tokyo which is selling T-shirts, and other paraphernalia, with this slogan! And supposedly, they are selling well!
Check out the article!
"'Yes We Kan' T-shirt is now in"
