a day to be reckoned with

A RENEGADE FROM.., a small business owner, an escapee, a philosopher, a chinese teacher, a humble one, a charismatic, a south africa, scotland, new zealand, canada, japan, california, virginia; a trip round the world at a korean floor table, -  a social gathering where on can wander with profound interest in and out of interesting conversations at will. There are around 20 people-english teachers in my area-that meet around three times a month.

I end up in a private karaoke room the techno lights are flashy, the mood is free, and the soju is bound to make another reappearance and someone is doing a decent justice to "brown eyed girl" what a song! (in my opinion).....(by the way, left early:)
I get off a train not far from my apartment and i am completely lost (although i am within 200 feet of the correct train stop which leads to a dirt road which through the fields and hidden community leads to my apartment)...i am a lone hobbler through a cobbled street...and my constantly popping knee is a barking dogs only companion...i wonder without hope down a few dead end alleys (there is no dramatizing here...i am utttterly and completely lost)

after alot of thinking...and quite a bit more walking i make it back home...
it is an easy Epiphany at this moment that my life is already forever changed...and forever to change even more constantly...i have been invited to a rooftop barbecue at veteran English teachers house tomorrow afternoon
