Tomorrow is my parents 29th anniversary.
Tomorrow is the day I leave for my venture to South Korea.
I leave at 7:46 am. After a few hours to Chicago and a few hour stopover, I head to Korea and after 16 hours, arrive in a foreign land full of fish and kimchi!
It's hard to imagine that today we wrapped up the last apartment details, got on each other's nerves multiple times, returned library books, Six Feet Under dvds unwatched (wimper wimper uggghhh i LOVE that show), threw out a bunch of stuff, people stopped by to say hi/bye, I cried randomly. And in less than 36 hours we will be like, shit, i can't believe we are finally here and our past life in the states seems like a dream. All the pain in the neck junk we endured in the past few weeks was definately worth it but in the past 12 hours I've been wondering "What have I gotten myself into?" as succiently put by Ron Gray (Sam's Dad).
I finally did head to DB Cooper's bar that was just two blocks from my old house. It has some great Classic Rock tunes that went well with the scrubby motel lounge wheely red marble vinyl chairs and friends to drink laugh and cry over beers with. Friday night we also checked out the Blue Room at the 18th and Vine jazz district for the happy hour on fridays. It was nice to see Wanda, Sam's co-worker at the middle school. But in my opinion the jazz was terrible. but the company was good. And it was all in Kansas City style.
We of course headed to first fridays and checked out just one gallery--The Leedy Volkos, saw the pop-and-lock street dancer and then saw the Axe Capioera group.
We ended with some Jack Stack BBQ where I was very cranky. I had not realized the root of my emotions yet, but I think I was just realizing that my time in Kansas City was fading. I have related much of my experience in the city with holding crappy work positions, but all in all, I have made many close friends here that I will miss dearly.
"Happiness in your mind is contagious."--this is the quote that is at the bottom of all of my recruiter's emails. yesssssssssssssssss!
it is now 5:15 am on sunday. i must post this.
