SOMEONE LET ME SLEEP. SWEET BLACK SLEEP.

Yes, I am aware I am making a very bizarre face.

Anyway. It was a dangerous jolt for my system, the jump from being an isolated village boy locked away in Kumamoto’s nowhere, hardly ever leaving the silent kingdom of pornography and chain-masturbation that I called my house to venture into the outside world, TO BEING a pretentious madcap socialite who has to walk through Shibuya every day and is enjoying all the milk that the lactating whore of goodness THAT IS TOKYO can squeeze from her heaving, plentiful glands.

At an izakaya in Shibuya - I’m on the right having a chat with the guy who runs http://www.octopusdropkick.net/: article image

In other news, the new job is great so far, not only because of the fact that my boss might read this (cue: “YONGFOOK EATS BABIES. YONGFOOK EATS BABIES’ BABIES!!!11″-esque comments in the comments section below) but because it is also, well, great so far. Of course I can’t go into much detail about what I’m doing, but in basic terms I am involved with an array of cool and clever things and am tinkering around with some interesting new technologies, AJAX, for example.

Coming up next, The Tokyo FAQ, or “What I Have Learnt So Far”, after which I’ll be resuming food reviews.

  1. Glad to see you’re having a good time in Tokyo, Jon. You aren’t THAT pretentious yet though. Come to NYC if you want a dose of that.

  2. Is that guy in the first pic really that small??!! or are you just a big guy?

    littlebuddha / June 8th, 2005
  3. You are looking great in that suit and clothes!~ Envy Those will cost a bomb in Singapore… -Sadness-

    Dickson / June 9th, 2005
  4. you need to eat more! Your sooo thin

    charms / June 9th, 2005
  5. For the benefit of Yongfook’s boss: Congratulations on the new job, it sounds groovy. I’m almost tempted to try Tokyo when I get there in Feb, but I think I’m gonna be slightly more interested in Kyoto. Carry on all the good charity work and emergency, spontaneous, life-saving baby deliveries.

    For the benefit of Yongfook: That latex dolphin bumhole you ordered is now in. It’s seen some light use, but I’m sure you won’t let that hold you back. And apparently you should eat more babies.

  6. I am Tokyo-challenged, so I’m charging you with a mission to do all the things in Tokyo I’ve not gotten to do (yet). Pretty much the list begins and ends with getting liquored up and having lots of vigorous sex in a capsule hotel with or without a second person involved. Good luck!

  7. AJAX? You buzzword whore.

    fan / June 9th, 2005
  8. come on, at least I didn’t say “folksonomy”.

    yongfook / June 9th, 2005
  9. Something’s on your upper lip.

    Guig / June 9th, 2005
  10. I thought I’d try not shaving for a week and see where it got me. And all it got me was one half-arsed sarcastic comment on my blog. ONE.

    yongfook / June 9th, 2005
  11. do you really eat babies?!?! i’ve been dying to encounter a baby eater - will you autograph my underwear?

    lydia / June 9th, 2005
  12. Dude, lydia’s not hot, don’t fall for it. All I’m saying is that you look like a pornstar. Which…you know…is alright.

    Guig / June 9th, 2005
  13. you look so fuckin sleazy with that pathetic mustache.

    incognito / June 10th, 2005
  14. That was the MAIN goal, not some kind of negative attribute.

    yongfook / June 10th, 2005
  15. It’s a very nice jacket though… even though you do look very ’80’s porn star with the pink shirt and mo’.

    Oh, hi, I’m Sciby, long time reader, first time commenter. nonchalant wave

    Sciby / June 10th, 2005
  16. You know, as much as you always say that people keep thinking you’re gay, I never understood it. However, considering your expression in the second photo, paired with the pink shirt, NOW I understand. :P

    Zedstar / June 10th, 2005
  17. Dude bro. Don’t let the bastards get you down. Your mustache beats out my sparse and horrible blonde stache. Which changes me from a rugged, gorgeous Irish-American dreamboat to a 14 year old hispanic high school kid. Of course It takes me 3 weeks to get to that point. I’ve gotta get my hands on some bigger testicles.

    EulerCauchy / June 10th, 2005
  18. Okay, last picture. Second from right. She’s a demon in the sack, yeah?

    Guig / June 10th, 2005
  19. she looks like dobby from the harry potter movie. the elf.

    incognito / June 10th, 2005
  20. Think superimposed felines…..just dropping in. Toodles!

    MicHeLLe / June 10th, 2005
  21. God, it looks intolerable. tokyo, i mean.

    ben / June 11th, 2005
  22. I think I know the girl at the far right in the last pic. Find out if she graduated from ICU, please. Oh, and you’re smokin’. Don’t listen to the snarky jealous naysayers, and save a coffee date for me when i get to Tokyo.

    Evelyn / June 11th, 2005

    Evelyn / June 11th, 2005
  24. in the first two pics, it just kinda seems as if you siddled up to a bunch of people and posed with them…

    averil / June 11th, 2005
  25. guig, are you the guy with the beanie cap?

    tessa / June 12th, 2005
  26. Guig is in Fukuoka. These pictures are from Tokyo and that dude is a half German/Japanese guy.

    yongfook / June 12th, 2005
  27. ahhh ok. are the people in that pic JETs/ex-JETs, or colleagues, or random people u know in tokyo?

    tessa / June 12th, 2005
  28. Who are ALL these people you’re chilling with? Co-workers?

    hyo / June 12th, 2005
  29. they aren’t JETs they are just friends and friends of friends.

    yongfook / June 12th, 2005
  30. i love your eyebrows! XD

    lsa / June 12th, 2005
  31. I thought the only friends you had were the tissues that lived in your silent kingdom of pornography.

    fan / June 13th, 2005
  32. Come to mention it, I notice that in that second picture, all the people seem to get progressively smaller the further away they are from the camera. Was the seating specifically arranged that way, or is it just a happy coincidence?

    I must say I’m a little surprised and infuriated that absolutely no mention is here that the strange and disturbing events of last Tuesday, or Wednesday, I forget, ever took place. I mean, super wet hard and a kebab that tastes of food, what went wrong man?! You used to be about the people!

    Rudders / June 13th, 2005
  33. Errata.

    Third picture. I always confuse the numbers 2 and 3. And if I hear the number 8, I start singing Jerusalem until everybody else jumps into a fish-tank. Aside from that I’m perfectly all right you understand…

    Rudders / June 13th, 2005
  34. Oh, I see tessa, ALL us halfies look the same to you, right? For shame.

    Guig / June 13th, 2005
  35. U look OLDER now~

    blubber / June 13th, 2005
  36. who’d a thunk it, eh. What with me, you know, getting older. And all.

    yongfook / June 13th, 2005
  37. Damn that time and space thing… just causes more candles on b’day cakes.

    Sciby / June 13th, 2005
  38. Spot the tokyo hipsters looking o so hip yo! ……hmmmmm yesh

    yongfookfanboy / June 13th, 2005
  39. Any man who can pull off a pink shirt gets a thumbs up!

    Jessica / June 13th, 2005
  40. Yongfook:

    If i could be ANYONE for a DAY, I’D BE YONGFOOK (YOU). You are wayyyyyyy cool.

    blubber / June 14th, 2005
  41. OMG!!! I’m on yongfook!!!!111ONEONEONE!! KYAA!! KYAA!!

    Sonny / June 14th, 2005
  43. Wondering what? Sometimes girls wonder when I will leave, but that’s about it.

    yongfook / June 15th, 2005
  44. guig: sorry! im not so good with half-breed face recognition ;)

    tessa / June 15th, 2005

  47. if you ever get back to the food reviews (party diaries not withstanding) could you please try the umeboshi crisps out right now. i don’t want to have to.

    paula / June 15th, 2005
  48. nah, i say stick to the party diaries. think about all those 15-year-old yongfook fangirls poring thru this site! we don’t want a riot on our hands when they don’t get their weekly fix of yongfook ogling-material…

    tessa / June 16th, 2005
  49. Still have the ’stache, yongfook? It does make you look, um, older. If that was what you were going for. (cough)

    And yeah, I’m just some random crazy chick. Feel free to ignore.

    Kez / June 16th, 2005
  50. Hihi, I use to draw this (-> http://www.yongfook.com/printclub/display.php?id=2910) in my notebooks when I was a kid ^^ (okok, I even did that in university ^^’)

    Reality~Shift / June 16th, 2005
  51. That chick second from the right really scares me… as do the eyes of the german-japanese guy.

  62. is yong fook french?

    samuel adams / June 21st, 2005
  63. It takes a real man to wear a pink shirt. I’m not quite at the full-blown pink shirt stage, yet. I’ve just got a white shirt with black and pink stripes. I’m not yet a real man.

    By the way, who is your web host? Mine seems to have gone to shit.

    Alex / June 21st, 2005
  64. Metrosexual- An urban male with a heterosexual orientation who rejects many macho attributes often linked to masculinity. He adopts many traits often associated with heterosexual females and gay males — eg expensive hair care, stylish clothes.

    sameul adams / June 21st, 2005
  65. can we have a night together?

    my key / June 21st, 2005
  66. it depends how much of a gay dude you aren’t.

    yongfook / June 21st, 2005
  67. hahaha does that mean you will sleep with him if he’s one of those masculine gay guys?

    minh / June 21st, 2005
  68. I get this feeling that it means that he’ll sleep with my key if he’s not a dude.

    Guig / June 21st, 2005
  69. too confusing…do u mean ‘my key’ or my key as in my housekey etc.

    minh / June 21st, 2005

  81. Hi yong fook, I love ur entertaining site. I have a little game to play and it is called: Spot Da Bot: it’s a wacky, off-the-wall and ridiculous online photo gallery. The site features pictures of hidden bums and the challenge is to find the bum in the shot, kind of like Where’s Waldo! The audience then rates the shots and the highest rating photos are featured in the “Ass Hall of Fame”.
