Some days it feels like a common theme unites the day, others are just random jumbles. Its really just my mind trying to bring order and make sense. Today it feels warm and comforting.
Several things reminded me of Tokyo.
First I watched half of the movie Fast and Furious Tokyo drift this morning veg'ing out in front of the tv. Not a great movie, but it kept my attention.
Then I was reading the Radiohead Blog and it had pictures from Tokyo. Several members of the band were there recently I guess.
When I think about my past sometimes I forget that I had a unique upbringing. As a military brat I was a teenager in the densest, craziest city in the world. It wasn't unusual to me at the time. It was just how things were.
There were occasional moments of wonder. Like seeing a crowded subway station or a traffic jam. And Japan is full of green trees and lush plants. There were wooded paths we'd take and rivers we'd play in. It was gorgeous.
I think a lot of life is like that. During the amazing parts you don't know just how amazing it is. Its only in retrospect that you really get to say "Wow, that was cool!"
