Soooo much thinking in Hong Kong. Sooo much. My horoscope told me not to do so until Wednesday. I should just do that then. K, bye.
Anyway, so today was DElightful! I woke up late 10:30, ha. I talked to my girl, uploaded some pics, went to Micky D's for breakfast at fucking 1pm. Ah! My life was, at that moment, complete. Kendle and I walked to the passport agency and got our Visa's to cross the border into China proper. Then we got lost... in the most beautiful sense of the word. We spent the whole day talking while we strolled through lively yet comfortable street markets, a HIGH end-baller thrift shop, and random eateries. Tea, coffee, malaysian cuisine... its all good.
I cant express how i love this city. So many people, so many directions, ONE force. One, driving, commercial force. I had SUCH an great day with equally great company! I might get lost tomorrow. I might take the 360 tram to the Buddha at the top of the Peak tomorrow.
Its been a great crew of people. We've been sooo cooperative for the circumstances. Everything's been roses...because im basically on vacation.
I didnt expect to fall in love with the city so much. Its 5 days into it and by the 3rd day i couldnt get enough.
The people are SO efficient. The government does projects for the people and you can see it everywhere. Its hard to see it in the States because we're so spread out in our "American Dream". The 'dream' is wasteful, however you cut it, and i DONT think i want to take part in it much longer.
I want to live in the woods still. Ive always said the simplicity of tipi life would be a BEAUTIFUL thing. But i also love the hustle of this lifestyle. Its not like anyplace ive ever been and Ill soon find out how New York stands up to it.
I want to raise my kids with the mentality that its BAD to leave a big footprint on the earth. That a oil-based culture and society is WRONG because it hurts the Earth in ways we CANNOT comprehend.
D O N T I G N O R E W H A T Y O U K N O W I S B A D. God gave us consciouses for a reason. Fuck you if you lead your life in ignorance. If you're not accountable. If you PUT OFF making that change in your life that you KNOW is important to you and those around you.
I want my kids to be contented with what they have and strive only to be a good member of something. Individualistic, capitalistic lifestyle is(like all human patterns)something thats learned and thus TAUGHT, and its something I could choose not to swim in.
Walking makes me tired, thinking more so. Life's a gift, take that SWEET air and do something good with it today:)
