A long way to get before I get back home.

I love it when songs creep up on me and the lyrics sum up my life in 3 minutes. And, Bob Schneider seems to have a way with it. I'm beginning to think he may be following me around - behind that bush! No, that's not him. Anyway, the man better cough up some royalties because he got me again today.

I've got so much to put down before that's all she wrote
I've got so much to give, for my heart ain't so broke
I've got to find myself before i can ever be alone
Ive got a long way to get before i get back home
-Long Way to Get

I happened to be listening to Ryan Adams 'New York' just before this and I could have broken down in tears. I'm not homesick. I really feel like New York and I broke up. NY was formidable for me in ways I didn't realize at the time, and it's hard for me to even formulate words to explain. But, it's like no where else and nothing compares. NYC is the place that everything going forward is measured against. Unfortunately. What am I doing here?

This past weekend, I was here for the sole purpose of stumbling upon this Japanese invention.

Sigh. For real? Come on... It's amazing how hindering it can be to have so many thoughts in your head about this all at once.

I hit up Hong Kong at the end of this week- you have no idea how excited I am to blow this popsicle stand, even for less than a week. I am just ready for some soup dumplings, a salad, a night out with friends and slightly cooler weather.
