This marks the fourth 4th of July I have spent either out of the country, or driving in a car. Last year I was in Wyoming, at Outback Steakhouse with my dad and best friend. We were 3/4 of the way on our trek towards California. In 2006 I was back where I am now, in Japan. Except this time I’m in the Kasai area, not the Kanto area.
In honor of my almost 4 years of unpatriotic-ness, I’m spending my American holiday evening with a handful of friends at a gay club in Osaka. It will no doubt be an all nighter, my first. Ever. I’m not sure how this is patriotic, but it will be fun. I’ve only got 26 days left here. I aim to make the most of it.
Pictures, maybe, to follow later.
Happy 4th of July tomorrow to all my friends back home! Love and miss you all.
