Hello

2016-03-19T22:17:00.001-07:00

Hello everyone, I'm back after being away from the blog. I have a new small pc that's making it hard to type. I will have to get used to it. This spring I'm starting a new exercise video at home. I hope I can make it work. This year has started out slow but, I feel that I can make things work. This year I want to give a perfect effort. I have some friends that are pushing me to work harder so, I want to do my best. As soon as I can learn how to type on this pc without having to spend too much time on it, I will be blogging just as much as I had in the past. Again, I really want people to respond. I have to many views without feedback. I really want to work hard on all of my projects this year. Please join me on my journey. Thank you, Scott.

Almost 4,000 views!!!

2015-05-18T08:18:00.002-07:00

Hello everyone! I'm really happy to see my page views are almost at 4,000 , as of today! I'm feeling really good about it. It does make me sad to see no comments; I'm wondering if a lot of people are just finding my blog by accident or they feel it is just terrible. I have said in many posts that I welcome your comments and would respond to as many as I could. Even though I want comments so badly, I really enjoy writing and I want to get better at it. If you have anything at all you want to talk about or see in print from my blog, please let me know. I will be expanding my blog and youtube channel soon and I will have a lot more topics to discuss. Today's weather is good. There are chances of rain every day and the wind is a little cool. My health has been bad for four months and I'm fighting hard to get well. Becoming physically fit and getting rid of all of my difficulties is my goal. I hope everyone fine and enjoying a happy life. Please have a very nice day and Comment. Thank you(Scott and Ben)

Cold weather today!

2015-04-20T15:39:00.000-07:00

Hello Everyone, I thought today we would have warm,sunny weather but, It was cold,wet and windy. Today was "Free Bus Day"; So, I took a trip around the city. There is a lot of new construction on the North Side of Town. Our economy is said to be bad but, there are a lot of new shopping malls being built. I'm glad to see that this blog is getting more and more views. I'm happy that people are finding my blog and I'm sure if the readers would give me advice, I could make this a blog that people would like and tell their friends about. The weather was warm like Summer two days ago and now It is almost like winter. I'm sure things will be better next week. Take care, Scott and Ben.

Rain,Rain go away!

2015-04-02T15:17:00.001-07:00

Hello friends, Well, Today was a little strange. It rained all morning long; I tried not to be upset about it instead, I researched how to use some pc programs I need to use. I remember starting out trying to learn everything all at the same time. I feel that I'm slowly returning and that's OK for now. I think the blogs will get longer when I'm able to make video blogs again. I found out that my domain name is available so all I'll have to do is set it up and pay for it. I'm sorry that I left my dotcom incomplete for so long (It wont happen again) Cherry Blossoms are blooming in Japan but, I haven't seen any new flowers here yet. Have a nice week/weekend. Ben and Scott.

What nice weather we're having!

2015-04-01T15:19:00.004-07:00

hello all, Today's weather was amazing; Sunny skies and a mild wind. The temperature was 72 degrees. I wasn't able to do much; Even with the nice weather, I was a lazy boy! The change of weather is helping my mind become peaceful. I'm starting to blog again and I'm looking forward to learning the internet programs that I was reading about 2 years ago. Since my vision is getting better, I'm able to study and read more. I'm still very sleepy while trying to read and watch instructional videos. I will be writing longer and more frequently updated blog entries. Also, I will be making more videos and updating my webpage. Have a nice day. Thanks so much, Scott.

Spring Weather and 3,500+ views.

2015-03-28T06:05:00.000-07:00

hello everyone, good news, This blog has passed 3,500 views. Sad to say, There hasn't been one comment yet. I guess I have a good, searchable Blog name but...I guess the content isn't interesting enough to comment on. Spring is here but, the weather doesn't seem to feel that way; One day it's 30 degrees, the next day it's 60 degrees. The weatherman actually mention snow once in a while. Some days, it's too cold to walk outside. I will be happy to see hot days again. All of my personal and professional time has been taken away lately but, I will still keep writing and filming as much as I can. If there is something you want to read or see, Please leave a comment. As for Ben, He is visiting down south and likes it very much. I will be seeing him again in the summer. Take care everyone. I hope I can respond to some comments soon. Scott reporting for Scott and Ben. Thank you, Scott.

weather improving.

2015-03-11T07:43:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone! It seems that the winter weather is on it's way out. It has been so cold and I have been very ill. I had a cold that lasted a month; I couldn't believe it. I stayed inside 99% of the time. The cold makes my bones ache and I don't want to walk anywhere. I'm looking for a new place to live and it is very depressing at times. Sometimes I just want to give up but, I have promised to blog and make videos; Even though this is hard to do at the moment, I'm looking forward. Fulfilling my promise to keep improving and updating my internet content. I have a lot of appointments today so, I will trust you to read and reply. I hope everyone has a very nice day. Thank you, Ben and Scott.

I need some chicken soup and vitamin C!

2015-02-28T11:44:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone, I know it's been a long time since I have posted regularly. I have had a bad cold and the flu and I haven't been able to accomplish much. My health is not as good as it was over a year ago. I have finally quit making excuses and I'm in the process of making a real life's plan to return to Japan. Step one is to get my life back together here then, Improve to a level that I can return to japan. Hopefully, within two weeks, I will have step one started. After that, I want to return to Japan within one year. I have to hustle and work hard and quickly to make my dreams come true. I want to experience life in Japan so much; I'm ready to go and I hope to meet with many people. I actually have to get my personal webpage back online. My webpage was making it possible to get many views on this Blog. I will be hoping to hear from you all and I want to wish warm weather and blue skies to everyone. Thank you, Scott and Ben.

I'm back

2015-02-05T12:46:00.000-08:00

Minna Genki? I'm sorry I have ignored all of you. I have had a lot of troubles in the past year. I'm not doing well but, I want to get back on top in 2015. I want this blog to be popular and I want to become a better writer and webpage designer. The first step is to get my domain(dot com name) back and registered to my webpage. I plan on writing a lot more and posting many interesting photos(amongst other things). So please stay loyal and I will work hard for all of you. Have a great day, Scott.

Long time, no see.

2014-11-14T13:02:00.001-08:00

hello everyone, well, it's fall and yesterday was our first snow. It was a light snow but, it looked nice from inside the house. It's been so long I don't think I could give a good summary of what has happened over the last year. Again, I'm starting fresh and trying to pay attention to all of my blogs and internet projects. How are you? My counter shows a lot of views but, as of yet, no responses to read. I hope i can make this more entertaining for you. In the future my goal is to have a popular blog. Why don't you respond. group participation is always the best. I need to regain my motivation step by step so, I will leave now but again, let'enjoy this blog. take care, Scott and Ben.

What's on for today?

2014-05-15T13:32:00.001-07:00

Hello everyone! Today has been a little strange. I did a little gardening again today. I planted different types of flowers around the trunk of a tree, in the front yard. Planting new things in a grassy section of the yard can be hard work. Without a tiller or bare soil, you need to dig up the grassroots by hand; This is very time-consuming. Just when I started to clean up, The rain began to fall; Very convenient(don't you think). I spent lunch looking out the window and wondering if this rain will help all of the flowers in the yard; I hope it will. I just had some french fries at McDonald's and I'm listening to classic rock and working on my blogs. I may have lost my domain address but, I might be able to fix that. I'm still working on Music and Photography as well. I hope to show you the results soon. I hope you are well and enjoying spring! Take care, Scott and Ben.

A little cold today.

2014-05-14T12:23:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone, Today it's a little cold but, I want to shop at the Garden Store and find some Vegetables to plant. I would like to eat some fresh food like a Salad or Stir-fry. My blogs and video channels have been a little slow because my HD Camera/Camcorder doesn't work very well these days. I have to buy a new one but, it will be very difficult. I hope everyone is enjoying the Spring Weather. I'm at McDonald's but, I am not eating; I am only using the Free Wi-FI Service. I'm going to go shopping now. I hope you all are enjoying the Blogs that I write. I want to get better at Writing,Cooking,Photography and Music; Please check here often and click on the ads you are interested and leave some comments. I want to get to know everyone. I see a lot of views but nothing else;So, please write something. Have a great day, Scott and Ben.

I messed up again!!

2014-05-12T11:54:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone, I hope you can find this. It seems that another year has passed and I lost my main domain(again). This blog will still be in the same place but, my dotcom will not be. If I'm lucky, I can find a way to maintain it. It seems that I always become broke when my domain needs to be renewed. I think people know this address so keep coming to it please. I don't have anything much to say. I spend a lot of time planting flowers and now I'm just getting back to normal again. I hope I can get back to blogging and having all of my 'net projects straightened out. Please comment or click on a link when reading so, I can make a little cash... Take care! Scott and Ben.

Spring is here to stay!!(Finally)

2014-04-25T08:19:00.001-07:00

Hello everyone, I know it's spring because I have planted about 25 plants and 10 packs of seeds. I can't wait until they grow. I will post some pics when they get big. I know it's a short post but, I am busy in the garden. See you later, Scott and Ben.

Curry-rice Disaster!

2014-04-15T17:32:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone! Today was a good day. The weather was better than yesterday. No snow and a little windy. I did a little yard work but, it's coming slowly and I'm eager to plant Rose Bushes and Flowers. The Water Company came to repair a water leak and had to use heavy trucks to fix what was wrong with the pipes. Needles to say, there was a lot of damage to the yard. The Water Company was kind; They went to the local dirt reserve and filled the holes in the yard. They even applied new grass seed. The yard looks very strange; I will conquer the bad yard and make it nice. Well, I tried home cooking in the kitchen again. I tried to make curry rice from scratch. I thought it would be easy and casually started cooking just from memory. My curry rue and rice did not cook correctly(my fault)and it didn't taste very good. Also I made cheese-cornbread; It was very delicious. I never liked cornbread as a child but now, I enjoy making it and eating it. I want all of my friends to know that I'm trying very hard to become better in the Kitchen. How about you? Did you try something recently and it didn't turn out as planned? Please let me know. Have a great Spring, Scott and Ben.

Baseball is here.

2014-04-14T23:23:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone, First to say, I hope you bookmark this page because my domain at Osakaben.com may be lost very soon. I didn't expect the year to go by so quickly. If a miracle happens and I get to keep it(In either case) I will apologize now while I can. Well, It's Baseball season again and everyone is glad that winter is over. I say winter is over even though it snowed all afternoon yesterday. It wasn't any trouble due to the fact that it has been over 70 degrees for about a week now. I have a lot to do so, I will make sure my posts,photos and videos are going to be great this spring! I will let you now about my domain when I find out. Please keep reading and leave a comment if you can. Thanks a lot! Scott and Ben.

Osakaben blog hits 3,000 views!

2014-03-22T20:08:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone, I'm glad to see that this blog has surpassed three thousand views. I would really enjoy to see comments. I feel that the first reaction the viewers feel is to click off. I'm sorry if that is true; I want people to comment,interact,give their views,share and most of all post a comment. My home-studio is nearly finished and I am feeling the confidence each day to make better content for everyone. I can announce that This blog will be for telling everyone what is new and hopefully improved. I will tell you about the other blogs that I have for specific content. For example: Film,Sports,Music,Japanese Language and whatever I have planned. I hope you will enjoy and learn from the videos and social media posts that I upload in the future. April first(April fool's day) Will be the start of everything. I really don't want to mention something as basic as Money but, the Secondary or Tertiary reason for this blog is to make a small income. You can help as a blog reader by reading the blog,clicking on a link that you may be interested and leaving comments. Like I said again, I have most of my equipment to be able to make the blogs and youtube(and other social media)projects better. I really want you to enjoy this blog(and other projects)as much as I enjoy creating it. Have a great day and I'm looking forward to blogging and hearing more from you soon. Thank you, Ben and Scott. P.S. Who are Ben and Scott? Enter a comment and find out. See you soon!

Wow! The Year is Speeding by Already!

2014-02-12T16:27:00.000-08:00

Hello Everyone, The End of last year seemed to go by very slow. I spent the End of Last Year and the Beginning of This Year trying to make sure that I took care of everything that I wanted to do. Now that I have started that, it seem that this year is going by very fast! I started to make a list of things I wanted to do and made a promise to complete them. Now, time seems to fly by very fast. I'm getting used to the challenges but it seems to make the time go by much faster. I have a few things I want to work on this year: One, I want to make all of my internet projects better and update everything to the best of my ability. Two, I want to work on my personal hobbies and Three, I want to do a better jobn of taking care of my Health. Lastly, I want to thank everyone for supporting me for the last year by viewing this page. There has been a lot of page but yet, not much of a response. I want you to join with me on making my internet projects better this year. I will be posting a lot and sharing my Links with you. Please join me in having fun this year! Let's share life together, Scott and Ben. みなさん、こんにちは、昨年末には、非常に遅いことで進んでいるように思えた。私は私がやってみたかったすべてのものの世話をしたことを確認するためにしようと、昨年末と今年の初めを過ごした。今、私はそれを起動していること、それが今年は非常に高速で起こっているように見える！私は私がやってみたかったし、それらを完了するために約束をしたことのリストを作り始めた。今、時間が非常に高速で飛ぶようだ。私は挑戦に慣れてきたが、時間がはるかに高速で行くように思われる。一つは、私はよりよい私のインターネットプロジェクトのすべてを作り、私の能力を最大限にすべてを更新したい：私は今年で仕事をしたいいくつかのことを持っている。二、私は私の個人的な趣味や三に仕事をしたい、私は私の健康の世話をしてより良いjobnをやってみたい。最後に、私はこのページを表示することにより、昨年のために私を支援するすべての人に感謝したいと思います。そこにページがたくさんあったが、応答がまだあまりいません。私は、あなたが今年の私のインターネットのプロジェクトはよりよい作ることに私と一緒に参加したい。私は多くのことを掲示し、あなたと私のリンクを共有する。今年楽しんで私に参加してください！それでは、一緒にスコットとベンの人生を共有しましょう。 Minasan, kon'nichiwa, sakunen-sue ni wa, hijō ni osoi koto de susunde iru yō ni omoeta.

2014-01-01T11:51:00.001-08:00

Well, Hey everyone, It's 2014! Day one of New Year's Resolutions! I think it's easy to start a resolution on Day 1. I really want to update my blogs and videos(and all social media)a lot better than last year. I want to keep this blog page going and my dotcom as well. It looks like I may not have the small fee to keep my domain name. That happened last year and I found myself with the domain that I wanted for many years. I hope I don't lose it this year. Well, I plan to study Japanese better this year; Also, I want to develop new filming skills for my youtube channel. I also plan on piano/organ study this year. I have so many things to do but, I know I can do it. I hope you will come along and read about what's going on. My social media is going to be in high gear this year so, I hope you can check that out too. One more thing, I get quite a few hits on the blogs lately but still no comments. please contact me or leave a message. Have a great 2014! Let's have fun this year! Scott and Ben!

Christmas is here?

2013-12-14T11:06:00.001-08:00

Hey everyone! Sorry for not blogging in quite a while. I, unfortunately, had been in a bad situation for quite some time. My life has improved a great deal but, I find myself trying to do too many things at once. Anyway, I turned 50 this week and I figure I have 50 more years to get things right. Well, what has been going on? I have been watching a lot of cooking videos and today, I made my first batch of homemade gravy. I didn't want to make biscuits so, I used plain white bread. Biscuits(not cookies)and gravy is a very popular breakfast dish that migrated from the Southern Region of the United States. I thought it would be easy but, it was a little harder than I expected. Well, after several adjustments(adding milk), I finally came up with something that was edible. I always wanted to cook many things (not just ramen) and I bought flower and several other ingredients at the grocery store. I ate noodles so much in Japan that, I want to make my next project homemade American-style noodles. I let you know how it turns out. As I just said, Cooking is my new hobby. I have been working hard on my other hobbies: music,video production and Japanese Study. Even though my life is a lot better, I have even less privacy to study and work alone. If it was easy, I guess it wouldn't be worth-while. Ok everyone, I'm blogging again(a time-consuming hobby)and I don't want to put things off. I always enjoy the feeling after finishing a project so,,, You will be seeing and hearing a lot more of me pretty soon. Please, put a nice comment in the box below. I have one more major project and that is to finish my webpage www.osakaben.com Have a nice Christmas. I should have more youtube videos completed soon. Take care, Scott.

日本語だけで書かれた。Written in Japanese only.

2013-09-12T16:18:00.000-07:00

みなさん、こんにちは。今日のブログは日本語のみになります。ある日、私は可能性と同じくらい満足していない。私は厳しい時代を通して私を助け、日本の特別な友人を持っているので、私は非常にうれしいです。過去には、私たちは、SKYPEでチャットすることができました、それは非常に楽しかったです。これらの日、私は民間のインターネット接続を持っていないと私は声でチャットすることができませんよ。私の友人は、あまりにもおしゃべりが好きで、我々は通常楽しい時間を過ごす。彼女は非常に理解していると時間があまり良くないときに私は笑顔を持たせることができます。私は正直に私の人生はどのようなものであるか誰にも言うことができないので、私は悲しく感じています。近い将来にはよさそうだけど、私はまだ自分自身に代を保つ。私は私の友人は、私はうまくいっていないいくつかのものを持っていると彼女はいつも私の霊が高く保持されていることがわかりことができると思います。私はいつも私の毎日の悩みについて、より良い感じに私の友人に数えることができる。私は私の友人のために何を行うだろう。私は良い友人であることに感謝したいと思います。あなたがチャットして自由だったとき、私はいつもそこにすることができませんでしたごめんなさい。私は2週間で私が住んでいるために新しい場所になると思います。私は、そこからオンラインで行くと声がいつでもあなたとのチャットがあることができるはずです。私のためにおいしいお弁当を作成してください。あなたの友人、スコット。
