2 years
wow... ok so I just started re-reading some old posts in here. This blog is two years old. My First post was April 28, 2004... Back then I was 24, living in norfolk, a dance major at ODU, marching the Study, having themed parties, doing pippin, having amber come to the beach, having more themed parties, having lesbians do it in my living room, teaching colorguard, judging colorguard, living with 3 other GREAT gay guys and had a wonderful extended family of friends. It seems like yesterday. It totally doesnt seem like 2 years ago. Now I'm 26, a seasoned Disney performer, a world traveller, and MUCH older person. I got my Departure Information yesterday for leaving Japan. My contract officially ends on May 27th, BUT I'm going to Thailand and Hong Kong. My fly home date is June 17th. Disney and JApan have been great and have sucked at the same time hahaha... all in all though its been great. I've been so blessed to be able to come here. When I go home I have NO CLUE whats next. I think I'm going to relax all summer, teach some guard, and maybe go to europe for a bit. After that its all up in the air. Possible ideas include - Going back to the beach area to teach and go back to ODU (those were some AWESOME time - though it WOULD be different now) Going to California and marching Fantasia and RCC living with gonzo (maybe not so much) Staying near harrisonburg and doing something local (I have realized just how important family is to me) Going to FL and getting a job at WDW (which i could do fairly easily at this point) Coming back to Japan, or to South Korea, or India, or an other number of places as an English teacher (which IS in my future- just not sure when) What do you all think? Also- since I'm horrible and never write in here anymore- a couple of house keeping things 1. Does anyone still read this thing? 2. I've changed where I post pictures yet again. Now I'm on Ringo.com I really like it cuz I don't have to shrink any pictures thus loosing quality you can check them out at http://www.ringo.com/i.html?i=94946224x376725 tons of pics of japan post new years Anyways.. see you all soon, love, Rob | | 2:45 am |

Headlock
Distant flickering, Greener scenery, This weather's bringing it all back again. Great adventures, Faces and condensation, I'm going outside and take it all in. You say too late to start got your heart in a headlock, I don't believe any of it. You say too late to start with your heart in a headlock, You know you're better than this. We're a different pair, Just something out of step, Throw a stranger an unexpected smile. With big intention, Still posted at your station, Always on about the day it should have flown. You say too late to start got your heart in a headlock, I don't believe any of it. You say too late to start with your heart in a headlock, You know you're better than this. Afraid to start, got your heart in a headlock, I don't believe any of it. You say too late to start with your heart in a headlock, You know you're better than this. You've been walking, You've been hiding, And you look half-dead half the time. Monitoring you, like machines do, You've still got it I'm just keeping an eye. You know you're better than this, Come make a start got your heart in a headlock, No I don't believe any of it. You say too late to start with your heart in a headlock, You know you're better than this. Afraid to start got your heart in a headlock, I don't believe any of it. You say too late to start with your heart in a headlock, You know you're better than this. Current Music: Imogen Heap | | Saturday, February 18th, 2006 | | 5:28 pm |
I don't know.. how accurate would you all say this is?
| Big Five Test Results | Extroversion (60%) moderately high which suggests you are, at times, overly talkative, outgoing, sociable and interacting at the expense of developing your own individual interests and internally based identity.
Accommodation (90%) very high which suggests you are overly kind natured, trusting, and helpful at the expense too often of your own individual development (martyr complex).
Orderliness (52%) medium which suggests you are moderately organized, structured, and self controlled while still remaining flexible, varied, and fun.
Emotional Stability (74%) high which suggests you are very relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic.
Inquisitiveness (48%) medium which suggests you are moderately intellectual, curious, and imaginative.

my brother's releasing a single
from my brother chris / ctr0 - Well, I have released a song. Alix Jerinic is studying to get her masters degree in something about operas. Anyway, her voice is awesome. And I just love to screw around and make techno/trance songs. So we put our skills together and came up with a masterpiece. http://www.ctr-online.com/music/Christopher Rodney - O Mio Babbino Caro.mp3 This is O Mio Babbino Caro which is an old operatic song. But I have worked some magic and turned it into an awesome trance piece. Alix Jerinic did the vocals. Download it today or die. Oh wait, I did it wrong. Lemme try again. Download it today and pass it on to every friend you know or ever knew within the next 30 seconds or you'll never have sex again and monsters will eat your soul while you sleep. I'll make it on myspace yet! :) | | Tuesday, January 10th, 2006 | | 12:29 am |

to the new year
well here it is.. my first post of 2006..... christmas was a little sad but ok.. simon was sick on christmas eve and didnt feel like going out to dinner so I picked up mcdonalds EEK.. but christmas day he was better so we ate out.... got some fun stuff from friends and family but got myself the best gifts - my new canon kiss 350D with 2 different lenses and with the points I earned buying the camera was able to buy a new 60 gig ipod video for 15,000 yen (like $125) new years was a blast but was ALMOST a bust.... we had to work a set when the park opened at 8pm for the countdown celebration... we did a 30 minute greeting at the entrance but everyone jsut booked past us to get seats for the shows and those who did stop for pics were in a mad rush it was CRAZY.. total running of the bulls.....so then I was SUPPOSED to go to tokyo tower, but fell asleep (having just finished massive rehearsals for our new years show which debuted Jan 1) luckily Julie called me at like 1130 to make sure I was doing something... so I hung out with Julie, Cami, Mark, and a bunch of the russians for new years we got totally drunk and had a blast..... the next morning we opened the new years show which is THE DEAL..... I love it cuz mickey and the gang wear traditional japanese costumes and we all have a blast doing it... then today it was raining so 3 shows got cut(well 2 and a half -we got cut mid-show) the TDL parades went down as well so JEff came over to our building and brought his silk (acrobatic) we all went downstairs and played and jeff taught us a bunch of stuff... it was so great ....a total good vibe chill kind of time which, after weeks of rehearsals and more coming for rhythms of the world, was really nice... I feel the end coming... I just have to make it through rhythms of the world..... whats funny is I'm sooooo ok now... maybe its simon.... who knows, but I feel ALOT better these days.....

from chris....
looks like I go for the ugly ones... HAHAHAHAHA just kidding <td align="center">Intelligence
Intelligence is most important in a boyfriend/girlfriend. You like to be able to talk about everything that is on your mind, and if your partner can't keep up, well, you know. You are very attracted to someone who can challenge you, and make you see things in a whole new way.

My First Day of Winter
so the official rob rodney first day of winter was december 13.... On my way to work I could see Mt. Fuji. During the summer months you cant see fuji at all from the city because of the smog, but every winter when the skies clear out a bit you can see Fuji clear as day..... so that got me off to a genki start... then during work it started snowing right as Porto was going out (maybe 230ish) it snowed heavily for like an hour.. not just sprinkles, but honest to god snow.. of course the ground was too warm so it didnt set or anything, but still it was very exciting and made me genki...... On another less genki note.. rehearsals started today... we have like 3 shows to learn or something between now and february... and we dont get a weekend off until then :-( but its really fun and nice to be doing something different.... Happy Holidays | | Wednesday, November 23rd, 2005 | | 4:21 am |
Three new photo albums
hey all... just added three new albums to my yahoo photos... first my halloween album.. we all dressed up as the rainbow (I was Penelope Purple) went to Planet Hollywood and won 2nd place in thier costume contest.... second is my Nikko album.. from the trip we took to nikko two weeks ago.. highlights include amazing waterfalls, the famous "hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil" carving, and me in full geisha drag.... lastly is the Nokogiri Yama album which includes pictures of the two Daibutsu's (great buddha's) carved into the side of Nokogiri Mountain.. the second one in the album is the largest buddha in japan (over 100ft tall) ...... along with the two Daibutsu... there are pictures of the other 1500 buddha's carved right into the mountainside all over the mountain........ more albums are coming soon.. I need to catch up in editting and posting my photos..... btw its safe to say that the slump i was in last month has gone away and though I still miss home I seem to be doing ok... I think these trips and other uh.. "distractions" (more to come on that) have helped me get past it.....however, my bad back has once again become an issue and I'm back in physical therapy.. uggg oh well.... 6 months left to go... I can do it :-) anyways enjoy the pics and let me know what you think.... http://photos.yahoo.com/robindisneytokyo Current Mood:  optimisticCurrent Music: Blackbird - Sarah Mclachlan | | Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005 | | 2:26 am |
I grew two inches in one night!!!!!
oh my gosh!!! it's all about simons stretch class...... I stood with great posture..... grew instantly and feel taller and better about myself... granted it'll all be gone by the morning, but thats why I'll go every night......... on an unrelated note..... "you know what it is? It's having someone care about you" suddenly I'm not so sad and homesick..... Current Mood:  hopeful | | Sunday, November 13th, 2005 | | 5:55 pm |
I hate this....
and I don't use that word often... but the more time I spend here the more i find myself hating japan, hating japanese people, hating disney, and most importantly hating EPROD.... I find myself purposely sabotaging my job with the twisted hope that I'll get fired and get to go home..... I'm seriously jealous of jon at this point..... how fucked up is that?!?!? | | Thursday, November 3rd, 2005 | | 7:55 pm |

We all need at least one friend like this
Cry if you want to. I won’t tell you not to. I won’t try to cheer you up. I’ll just be here if you want me. It’s no use in keeping a stiff upper lip. You can weep, you can sleep, you can loosen your grip. You can frown, you can drown and go down with the ship. You can cry if you want to. Don’t ever apologize, venting your pain It’s something to me you don’t need to explain. I don’t need to know why. I don’t think it’s insane. You can cry if you want to. The windows are closed. The neighbors aren’t home. If it’s better with me than to do it alone. I’ll draw all the curtains and unplug the phone. You can cry if you want to You can stare at the ceiling and tear at your hair. Swallow your feelings and stagger and swear You can show things and throw things and I wouldn’t care. You can cry if you want to. I won’t make fun of you. I won’t tell anyone. I won’t analyze what you do or you should have done. I won’t advise you to go and have fun. You can cry if you want to. Well it’s empty and ugly and terribly sad. I can’t feel what you feel but I know it feels bad. I know thats it’s real and it makes you so mad you could cry. Cry if you want to. I won’t tell you not to. I won’t try to cheer you up. I’ll just be here if you want me to be near you |
