Konnichiha!

Day one in Japan on business and I'm excited! It's definitely been an adventure already.  8 hour flight from Hawaii, slept the entire way (thanks to a little assistance from Tylenol PM).  My coworkers and I caught the subway from the airport to our hotel in Tokyo, that was an experience in itself.  Imagine 2 whites and 1 black in a sea of Asian...we stuck out like sore thumbs. 

Paradox

"He was a really great boyfriend except for the fact that he cheated..." 

Makes perfect sense to me, but I guess I can see how one could cancel out the other.  New relationship, we'll call him X, who feels like he can't escape the ghosts of my relationships past.  Namely one ex-boyfriend who I've mentioned here before, we'll call him Blue.  I feel like Blue and I had a really good relationship in terms of conversation, future goals, getting along, and great sex, all except for the fact that when he left to go overseas he started a whole new relationship with someone else that I found out about 5 or 6 months later.  X feels like since he hasn't cheated there should be no comparison to an ex who claimed I was the love of his life but ultimately showed he didn't give a shit about my feelings.  And maybe he's right.  But what good is a past relationship if you don't take some lessons away from it?
