FAREWELL CAPETOWN

well! im home now - and im having reverse culture shock, im no longer in the majority and that is more shocking than instantly being in the majority upon arriving in south africa. the place and people there definatly came to feel like home, and i intensly miss th epeople i got to know while there, which is a good thing cause that means i experienced somthing relevant with them. i find that my idea of physical beauty, expecially with nature and what not has been re -appropriated along with my idea of home, i think it probably has something to do with living at the foot of a mountain and the view of the ocean to and from school everyday, its kind of hard to just BE here in america now, in that my mind races about every day things more so than it used to, for instance the sheer excess that seems to be here, you can drive for five minutes in any direction and find a starbucks, McDonalds, GAP, officemax, walmart, kmart, its very mind numbing, the volume of product, and the feverishness of consumption is very hard to deal with, i also sort of feel trapped in my house because of the wackness of public transportation and the fact that i kind of feel theres notheing to explore here, no new place to go or new person to meet. but im moving to ny soon (gooing to nyu for grad school ) so maybe the static - ness will be broken, im working on some websites so there is alot of indoor work to do which doesn't excite me. but we shall see how the plot unfolds, ill keep u updated here the name of the site may change tho- lemme try this new picture thingy hold on
