The blog station

Well I have been doing some thinking and some siting trying to now understand what to do.
I have realized that for quite some time i have been some ware else other than right here right now, but before now I could not deal with the now but now I have my Friend back and he shows me how to not be afraid and that dealing with all the chaos in my emotions that comes from being in the now, so today is a nice fresh start.

Ah it is good to be home but now that I am back from my trip it gives me a whole new perspective on things.
Things I did before the trip seem different Like World Of War craft it seems so pointless at the moment but I mostly like playing it with my one friend that is the part that is nice I guess.
Well now I am starting off on a new path every day on my way to what ever amazing thing God has for me next

Well this trip has been exciting, fun, a cultural learning experience, and revealing a bit about my self.
I will always remember how every thing is similar but different in it's own way, learning about there interesting culture and the experience with friends who you have just met.
To see the world differently is truly a wonderful gift and to be at a place in my life ware i can see these things with out super over judging them and running in the opposite direction.
But coming with an understanding that there way of life was brought about from there experiences and unique world view.
See you soon my family

So funny and annoying but good for me story.
I just went out to supper then after i ordered i found that the noddles were in Miso Broth witch i had tried earlier at breakfast today {and found it to be not to my liking because of the heavy musky taste that comes from the fish broth that it is made with} so i ate the stuff on top of my soup then some off the noddles till i could take no more of the taste then went to pay only to find that they did not take credit cards so i left my camera there and said i would return with money and went to find an ATM but to my horror there were none within 200 yards of after those yards angry stomping so i went to the hotel clerk and asked and the got directions to a post office but after my long walk ther i found there key pad was just numbers not numbers and letters so i stomped back into the station and at this point i had been madly looking and having doors close in my face for at least 20 mins so at one pint in my walk i just stopped and then realized i was out of viable solutions and said i give up.
So with some help from God on some humility counseling i returned to the restaurant and humbly put the contents of my wallet on the money tray, so i had 780 yen and the dish was 900 so i put my Canadian 5 up on the counter as well then the door from the kitchen opened and who i presumed to be the owner came through and when he saw me standing there he came over to the till and started counting my money.
I tried to explain but i think he understood he just smiled and put my 5 back in my hands he knew i could not pay and he was okay with that. Plus i think that made him laugh that some one who looks as well off as me would be that humble.

o well see ya later guys
