Growing up in the desert, we didn't have cicadas. For those of you who aren't aware of this loud insect, image a horse fly, the moth-man and a locust had a crazy orgy and they all parented a baby. That baby would be the cicada.

That sucker is huge too!
They first morning after we arrive, we were at the Shogun Inn on Kadena Air Base. I awoke thinking who in the hell is weed eating along this hotel at 7am on a weekend?! Well, apparently, Mother Nature was. Okinawa seems to be the place she plays most of her jokes. I mean, if the Platypus was native to the island, her mission would have been complete.
I know why the bats and spiders are so big, its because all the damn insects on this island are huge!
On another, more random note. I am going to start the Paleo diet. Mainly because I am tired of being fat (5'6 225lbs is fat, no matter your bone structure) and the Paleo diet makes sense. Cut out processed crap and your body will start to function like it should. So starting tomorrow (or whenever I go grocery shopping again) I will be eating clean. I hope I can get into and keep with it because after all the crap its been through, my body deserves to be treated right for a change.
So lets raise our 8+ cups of water each day to good health. *gulp* Cheers!
