I've always had an interest for foreign films, foreign TV shows, foreign culture and foreign food. I guess being here is sort of accommodating then. We have all these ethnicities, nationalities and cultures here going about their business everyday and sometimes I wonder what it is like for them.
What I mean is that a lot of "these people" have set traditions that are handed down from one generation for another where as I never really had that. I think part of it could be my fault because I never sought it out but at the same time, I don't recall actually shunning it either.
I really feel that I need to travel. I've been told to see the world by countless friends and over the years have corresponded with some people online from parts of the world I have never been to and only know about from what I am told. When I think of some of the people I know who just decide to get up and hop a plane somewhere, I admire and sometimes even envy it. After all this time, I finally got my passport. I use it as I.D. but looking through a book of empty pages makes me think about where I want to go more an more. I have many reasons and excuses for not ever traveling before and if you know me, you already know why and if you don’t then ask me if you’re that curious.
I'm told that it will be good for me. And when I think about how old I am and the shit I have yet to see, it sometimes makes me feel agitated. And now because of some asswipes trying to blow up 15 planes within this past week, they say that I can't bring shampoo, toothpaste, and whatever other fucking thing I might need. What if they don’t have Sensodine in India? Then what am I supposed to do? I remember back when I was in grade 1 or 2, that eating an apple is the same as brushing your teeth.
