Hmm.  I was skeptical at first, but green is his favorite color...

So he switches to present or past after a while?  Either way, kinda weird and either the brain would adapt and not notice after a few chapters, or it would be really annoying. :)

He wrote the whole thing in past tense. I changed the first few paragraphs to see how it would read.
