"trippingstonefree" stonefree's Profile


I am a father,

maybe a bad one, of two imprudent boys. Kids are the top priority to me now. They are angels while sometimes they are too brutal. They are very wild and very animal. I just envy their acts without calculations. Their expressions must be showing what I have inside by instinct.
I used to be bad enough to tell them what is good or what is bad and to remind them that life is so precious and wild.
I know this is a cliche but I just hope peace spreads the whole world without tears for losing parents, lovers, friends or playgrounds by any artificial violence. No matter whether it is official or personal. Just shame it, folks.

I'm happy my elder son took an "useful" portrait of me for the first time, even evil-looking though, that you can see above, when he has just got to three years old with my cellphone camera.
I once have put that pic as the member portrait, it seemed no one liked it.
But I LOVE IT for that reason... Thank you, son!!!

Cool, he is trying to play Paranoid by Ozzy Osbourne on my guitar in the picture on the right.

Now, fixing up plans for holidays in... Hawaii.

stay cool... what's next?

Actually, I don't have any big plan for taking a trip. I mean I'm not going abroad for following a few years for some reasons unless there be some unexpecting chances eventually. While, there are several plans of domestic trips.

Well, what's next? Some places I'm dreaming to go are...

Category #1 : World Herritage spots
Category #2 : My dear places; somewhere I've been before and I just want to be back again someday soon
Category #3 : somewhere to relax and to spend a luxualy time doing nothing
Category #4 : inside Japan to explore my original national country

some words for VT

Oh, I cannot resist being away from this anxious site any more... I am now a VT addict. There are too many of interesting tips, outstanding photos, questions I got to answer and nice talks with good fellows, by some nice guys, bad girls, funny ones, cuties, seriously worried, crazy chaps and pretty rascals even. You will know who I am talking about. It is a virtual community of the real people, by the real people, for the real people. Praised too much? hehehe...

Anyway,

I would like to thank VT itself for giving me the oppotunity to share my trip experiences to others and to have fun reading the interesting tips and seeing the extraordinaly photos by others, friends I have got here for encouraging me and sending me some good laugh all the time, and of course you who just dropped on my page.

Thank you & cheers.

term of use on "trippingstonefree" pages

Sorry (in advance) I would make mistakes on some pages in writing tips in English.
For I am an original Japanese,,,
I would commit errors of writing "Engrish" (or "Nihonglish", "Engnees" and whatever!) sometimes.
See the "External Page" (not my own really, though) link for understanding. (or just for fun ; P)

Pictures?
You can save and use PERSONALLY any of them if it ever becomes your favorite.
I don't care unless you don't hurt me with it.
All the rights on what you see here are reserved to VT, ok?
I keep the original ones and each of my pictures are all resized smaller to fit with VT templates.
