officially official

well... now when people ask me where i'm from, i can say "detroit" with total honesty... i am leaving the 'burbs for the city, for MY city -- now, it really is.

and, i love my city. there is something about detroit... it doesn't have the glamour of other big cities, doesn't have the popularity... doesn't seem to be interesting on the surface, but how many things in this world can be accurately judged by apperance... it has an edge, and attitude. it suits me right down to the ground because it is just like me; i love my city, and it's a reflection of who i am.

i am ok with putting off japan for a couple more years. more time to learn the language, more time to take ESL classes, more time to pay bills. and this... being a part of the city like this... it means a lot to me, as well.

so, this is a good thing for me :)
just ten more days!
