I've had my 5 hour nap after 25ish or so hours of getting from THERE to HERE -- there being ATL and here being London-Heathrow.
Amazing.
So much information to process. The differences in shapes, sites, smells, sounds -- in everything. The cars on the other side of the road. Sitting in the Paris airport and not understanding a word spoken on the loud speaker other than "please" and "Thank You".
The people! Leather jackets, exotic accents, odd shaped cases, smells of strange spices or tabacos, and an overall drive to 'be somewhere'. I could spend hours just watching, learning, pondering on it.
I could live here, for a while. Or somewhere with a similar concentration of 'new' and 'different'. Entire countries, cultures, peoples just a quick plane-bus-ferry ride in any direction I could point.
That insatiable 'I need to know everything' part of me awakes from it's nap and yawns with ravenous mouth -- To see, talk, hear, watch, do, explore, understand ... My sister calls me Frenetic when my brain box get's this amped up.
I'll call it living.
