I am leaving soon. In two weeks' time I am headed for the enchanted land of Korea (well, maybe not so enchanted as all that, but different). But even before that, tomorrow I am moving from my residence to a friend's place to stay out the remainder of my time here in the United States, so I am busy busy busy. I really shouldn't even be writing this journal entry, I have so much to do — work, my day job, being no exception: I must finish a couple of things (one major) before I can leave in good conscience. Just to give you fair warning, when I go to Seoul, I may have to leave this journal for a time as I get situated. Hopefully, it won't be for a greatly extended period of time, and I will let you know just before the hiatus, but I know I have some loyal readers; I promise I shall return.
Right now, I am kind of numb. I have trouble believing it's all happening, though somewhere it does register. I have been going through a lot of stress, and I have started smoking again — that was about two months ago, in fact, though it's been on and off the coffin nails, with me chewing Nicorette at times.... Today I have no thoughts on life or madness, too much is happening for me to think at this moment. But here are a few of my old thoughts on being, which I would like to repeat if you've missed them, or if you remember them, bless you for letting me in:
"We don't notice that miracles happen every day simply because they happen every day."
"Love is so simple, we'll never understand it."
and this one is pretty recent:
"Even if we have nothing to say, we all want to be heard."

Ah,leaving now.Your entries will,indeed,be sorely missed.Your last ones have been..they`ve made quite an impression.I hope all the stress and headache will be worth the strain when you at long last sit somewhere in Korea writing us :)
As for these last poems i liked especially the one about how we so much want to be heard,even though we haven`t got anything to say.
I`ll pop in these following days to see if yòu have had the time to post anything here.Your work is kinda the red cherry at the end of a day.I salute you with a glas of red wine and wish you a bon voyage!

Stand- I will miss reading your pages every day. The fact that you feel you need to write them, even when you don't have time indicates that you are really a writer- so keep it up, even if it's only in a note book.And good luck, I wish you well and hope your new life works out for you- anything has to be better than being stuck where you were.
me?!
