London Ho!

December 3rd, 2000
By Mike Lee

I still can't help thinking, "Ohmigosh there's no one driving that car!" whenever I see a car drive by on the street.

But duh, I keep forgetting that I'm in London now.

April 9th, 2000
By Mike Lee

"Museum Way, please," I said to the cab driver.

"Museum Way? No. Get out."

Good Bye, New York

April 2nd, 2000
By Mike Lee

Good bye, New York.

I'm sitting on the plane right now, on my way to San Francisco. It's about a six hour ride. The batteries on my laptop are almost gone, so I need to write this ramble quickly.

I'm nervous about Monday. I'm nervous and anxious. On Monday I start my new job.

Returning To Long Island

November 28th, 1999
By Mike Lee

It was the end of a weekend night like any other.

Californication

November 8th, 1999

"Psychic spies from China

And if you want these kind of dreams

- A. Kiedis

"Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft."

San Francisco vs. New York

October 17th, 1999
By Mike Lee

I'm coming to another major milestone in my life: To move or not to move.

I've lived in New York all my life. From birth to adolescence, from being a teenager to being a college student.

Rarely have I traveled far from New York—the extent of my travels kept me within the tri-state area (New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut).

I Flew With Darth Vader

August 22nd, 1999
By Mike Lee

It's time to go again. It's time to go to the airport to sit and wait for a delayed flight. Time to fall asleep on the plane after munching on my ten peanuts (no more, no less).

Since February of 1999, I've been traveling almost every week. I've gotten a few stories from it. This is one of them.
