Lagged

Sleep slowing is winning the battle as I'm realizing that I have been awake for nearly 3 days with no sleep now in an attempt to reset my body to NYC time. Bay Ridge is exactly as I expected it to be, dirty, loud, impolite, filled with crazies, the same. Not that it was a bad place to grow up and if you saw Saturday Night Fever you know it because much of that movie takes place here in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.

I guess I still don't really understand in my mind what is going on and it will take e a little time to understand and return to normal. Then again, what is normal? Basically, 86^th Street, which is the main shopping street in this area, but it's nothing compared to Namba, Shinsaibashi, or even Shinseikai!

So, with a bit of confusion and depression starting to slowly simmer in my mind, I met the one person in the world who could cheer me up from any situation: Anne. We chatted in Caffe Café, the local Bay Ridge coffee shop, for a while and it is good to see her again. I finally realize that with good friends here I can make it an enjoyable time and easy transition. Still I do miss you all guys!!!

Widsom of Day: Don't blog while jet lagged!
