Going the Distance

Side Note: A lot had been happening to me, but long story short--I'm in Japan.

Traveling to distant lands always has its dangers... Hijackers (thanks to Taken), shootings/bombings/terrorist attacks (thanks to The Tourist), and not being able to get back (thanks to MegaTokyo). It's crazy how life seems to be just another movie... That college just seems to be another bad rerun of high school, except people have more money to do crazier shit.

I've had this feeling, longing, actually, for something. Something more than this mundane re-occuring nightmare. I thought that if I came to Japan, amongst people who were interested in Japanese life as much as me, then it would be totally AWESOME! But...it's not. Instead it's totally lame. I like doing homework, but...there is a point. I also like drinking...but there's a point. U.U I need to get a homestay!!!

I don't know why I'm blogging on my lit blog about this, I have my own travel blog (kyntravels.wordpress.com). But, I hope to make this longing feeling into inspiration for a story, but I'm still observing here. Until I find my groove, I am too unbalanced to write a story. I can't seem to focus. This culture shock has pulled the rug from under my feet, see? I'm even being cliche in describing it, I have no literary edge anymore. ARGH! One day I will start creating something from this chaos I'm in. Right now, my roommate is dying her hair in our room... So I'm stuck outside in the lobby...

Thanks for reading, again. Until next time... I might not write something creative for a while. Ta ta!
