Howdy Y'all!! I been mighty busy lately...sorry for not posting more often!

Goin back to Japan in a few hours!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!!

Spenthalf a day at the passport agency today in NYC...that was fun. Never wanna lose my passport again. for my final dinner in the states I ate at IHOP with my father and brother...yummy!

It is now 229am NY time and I am awake. I am going to stay awake all night so I can sleep on the plane. No more weeklong jet lag like I had alst time...that sucked horribly.

my hair is still falling out, not happy about that. It got bitter cold today, I am gettin out while the goin is good I think...good thing. I am sick of the winter after last one. it was a bad one here in ny last year.

So a bit of my NY navigational skills paid off today when I pranced out of the PATH Station at Christopher Street and down Greenwich Street towards the Passport Agency. It is at 367 Hudson, right by Varick St. So I Was looking for Varick Street, and y'all know it's near Houston Street. So I walk and walk and walk and get totally lost in SoHo right on the river. I was embarrassed. Between listening to my new Linkin Park Live in Texas CD and drinking a hot coffee to fend off the bitter cold I forgot to pay attention to where I was going. So I crossed the street and went one block east to Hudson St. At that moment as I looked up and the address said 185 Hudson Street the rain started pouring down like someone turned on a faucet. That sucked. It was bitter cold and pouring rain. So I walk ten blocks north in the raw NY weather and stagger a defeated, broken man into the Passport Agency where the Rent-a-Cop at the front desk takes a shining to me and tells me I gotta take off my belt. She just grinned when I did it. She just wanted to see me do it I think...or maybe I am just vein...
