London
I'm in London, at my hostel after having spent the night at the airport on a cold hard floor. This hostel has a really great atmosphere. I've already met with with my Israeli friend Nir, whome I met in Paris, so I've already got a friend here. Tonight we'll go out with some other friends and tomorrow we're going to an exhibition at the national gallary with some other friends. I haven't gotten my room yet, so I'm quite tired, but I'll take a nap at noon when I get my room. I have a new journal, but I have yet to write anything in it. I was really committed to writing until my journal got stollen. Its been hard to find the will to do it for a variety of reasons, but I really need to get back on it. Once I get going I know it will just flow again. I've just finished the book GO by John Clellon Holmes. What an incredible book. Definitely one of the best books I've read. Its had quite an impact on me as well. Unfortunately, it wuold be hard to characterize that impact as positive. I have a lot of thinking to do. At the same time, I need to keep working on focusing no right now and enjoying where I'm at. I'm certainly looking forward to seeing Obigabu on Friday. While in London I will also likely see Leo and ex-cnation peep. I'm gonna try and meet up with some other people as well that I've never formally met. The trick will be not to spend money. Politics aside, the US economy sucks and that means each pound I spend will cost me about 1.9 US dollars. Not fun. So hopefully I'll do most of my eating at the grocery store. I'm starting to think more about coming home. I've begun to romantisize about it quite a bit actually. Unfortunately, I, realistically, do not think being home will be as good as I imagine. Not that it won't be good, it will, but it won't solve all my problems, for sure. In fact, I am sure it will have the opposite affect on some of my problems. Which brings me to something I've been thinking about. A long time ago I wrote about merging the public and private self. I need to work on this again... but having to pay for small amount of net access doesn't allow me to do that on this blog like I'd like. Alas, I'll be back in the US in 3 weeks and will be able to write as much as I'd like.Posted by wonko at October 24, 2004 01:49 AM
