   Back from Paradise
If there is one thing that bothers me, I would imagine it bothers many others as well, its that feeling that is lost right after you come home from possibly the best trip that you can recall. I am not talking about the feelings that you have of complete memory of the trip; I am talking about the feelings that you get when you can not actualy remember everything, and you become angry at that fact. If you ask where have I just come back from, it is Le Havre, France... I know, its french. I visited because there were friends of mine that I have not seen in about a year and a half, and I was lucky enough to get an invitation from them.

Picture or feel this, by the sea, a cool salty breeze, the bright sun, lots of busy people, foreign country and all the things that come with it, currency, habits, mannerisms, obviously the total lack of common language, and of course your best friends who are just happy to have the chance to see you everyday even if just for one week. Everynight is just a party, the party simply made to celebrate the fact that there are the American friends in town. Going places and having people recognize you before you have a chance to catch their name. Living with a girl you know you cant touch because she would just complicate things far too much for you and many, many others. Seeing a girl who you know is perfect but you know that her current man is just too good a person to push aside. Finally, meeting the coolest girl who you would consider most like you and would die to see everyday.

All of this and more... not too say that I am a bastard, but I am miserable that I am back home possibly explaining why I am drinking the Frenchmen's favorite drink. Perhaps this is a sign and reason why I have chosen to study abroad for the next part of my life.

Beyond this though, I have just found out that I have a thing called Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis, GPC. I literally cannot wear my contacts for the next three months or else, as my optomitrist says, "your eyes, thomas, will shut." God knows why I have been forced onto this. I would guess that I just like most of you who read this I sit infront of the computer late at night burning my eyes out.

Onto anime though, I just recently finished BERSERK the cartoon series. Unfortunatly, I can not find the manga to continue the story so whatever. I guess that I am an action man as far as this whole anime thing goes. One of my friends recommended that I begin to watch the old school Mobile Suit Gundams like 0800. Is this a good idea?

Sorry for not writing sooner. I make this long because I know that somepeople enjoy reading and then others know that I may not be back for awhile. As someone told me hear, I come and go like a stray cat. I hope not to but who knows, I work now.

Goodnight,
cloud
