Grad Trip #3

We're back, we're black, and we're bad.

Back and exhausted, black from sunburns and badly hit by virulent stomach bugs. It was a freaking fun and whirlwind tour and a very powerful experience not only from the sights -- from Ho Chi Minh and Mui Ne to Angkor Wat to Bangkok City -- but also from the cultural tour of Indochina.

Scary thing is, once I got back, the problems from life as I knew it surged back with incredible strength and speed and I'm sick; sick from food poisoning but more from the filial, habitual, parental, emotional and intellectual impasses of old. Sometimes banging on a thick wooden door is futile. The wings working life will give me will help fly me away from all this. Yes fly me away from here. New York, New York.
