  Finally home! It's nice to have all my freakin' creature comforts back. The cable modem being the biggest of them all. Granted that I'll miss the king size bed, pool, ocean view and the daily cleanings, but home is home!!!! So glad. Anyway, I came from Fort Bragg for business, and the nice thing about travel is that one always comes back with a renewed, fresh perspective on where I live. On a side note, apparently, there's a cute asian girl living in my apartment complex. =) Gotta meet her. =) Going on about travel and coming home, one thing about the bay area is the immense amount of Asians here.
Not only Asians, but all other ethnic groups as well. Don't get me wrong, people were great in Fort Bragg-- down to earth and mellow people. But the truth of the matter is, I know I look different from the rest of the world sometimes. It's kind of a security blanket for me to just fade into the background sometimes.
But not only that-- it reminds me that the world outside popular media is very different. What's funny is that as an Asian male, it didn't matter over there-- I was just another guy. On the other hand, in a larger society, I'm the image of what's reflected in the media and years of social bias. It's getting late, and I'm rambling... *shudder* just got reminded of this horrible, horrible banana I used to know.
