sitting in kusatsu-city

Recommended Posts

japan. hammered. staying at the hotel daisho at 745 aoji-cho in kusatsu-city. 1:38AM japan time. went to HQ yesterday morning. sat through an inhuman amount of sales/engineering meetings. went to dinner, ate all sorts of chicken parts, pork tongue, small eggs from a quail, chicken livers a-la tempura. i miss home. i hate this crap they call chow.

my 5yr old son gave me a small stuffed C3-PO before i left. he said, "i'm giving you this so you don't forget me." i told him i'd never forget him. he said, "take it anyway." silly kid.

so i did. i take C3-PO wherever i go. took pictures of him on the plane. the bus. the train. have a pic of my boss holding him at HQ. he's sitting at a depachicka enjoying udon. drinking the atrocious green tea that's everywhere over here; tastes like grass and i hate it. he's having dinner with me and my dallas co-worker. he's lying in bed with me.

i just want to be home.

i'm here for business.

i can't imagine what fathers and moms feel when they're away from their children for months and months and months. has to be what they call hell.

this is not political, so please don't delete.

just expressing feelings, drunk as i may be.

i feel sorry for myself sometimes. for no reason. i know, i know, "****ing baby." so sue me.

i just want to be home. holding my li'l man. and my wife. he's 5 and has slept in his own bed for over 3 years. but he still sneaks into our bed from time to time. snuggles up. tries not to wake us. brings his own blanket so he won't disturb us while he's getting comfortable.

i love those moments.

it's 2:05 AM now. need to go to sleep. alarm set for 6.

it's gonna be a long day tomorrow.
