…well at least as far as blogging, HA! As I cruise the friendly sky’s and laugh at this crazy passenger on this flight, I have many thoughts passing through my mind. I have so many ideas of things to do, places to go, goals, ambitions, and yet I find myself not pursing some of them. Am I falling back into a state of contentment? I don’t like this feeling that I have. I have friends and associates that are doing many things that have me saying, why didn’t I think of that? Or why am I not trying that out? I have never wanted nor tried to be an average person or do average things. But is not doing anything the same as doing average things? Well, in some cases yeah. Sometimes I look at not doing anything as being worst, because I am not even trying or even doing anything. I feel like I need a month long get away from my day to day routine, my life, my anything that I see every day or week. Something different. Why not go to another country and just wonder around for a few weeks? I have friends in other counties. But even if I don’t know anybody there, I’m sure I would survive. Even if I didn’t, at least I would be doing something. Which is better then sitting in my apartment working, watching TV, reading books (I do really enjoy that), and being average.
Lets make it happen!!! I’m already traveling a lot for work. So why not travel somewhere different. Even if it is not a different country, another state would suffice. Maybe even a road trip, so that I may see many states. Although, I don’t know how thrilled I would be driving thousands of miles and putting those miles on my car.
I feel as though doing something like this would clear my head and allow me to recharge and refocus on what I want out my life. I do have an idea, but I sense a need for clarity. This sense of contentment that I have right now is clouding my head and making it hard for me to think out of the box and think different than the average person. Now, I’m not knocking being average. It is just not something that I want for myself.
So now I will sit back and look at my schedule, then figure out what move will be next. For my friends that are located abroad, you might be getting a phone call or email. So heads up.

I know exactly where you're coming from. As long as everything's hakuna matata, it's easy to coast. I wouldn't recommend doing what I did (just stop going to work), but that was the only way I saw to shake things up and I don't think I'd do anything differently now.
You always have a place to crash out here. But I'm telling you, if you come for a week, you might end up staying.
I agree, as along as there are no problems, it is easy to coast. Yeah, I couldn't stop going to work. But I could take off a month without blinking an eye.
Thanks for the offer. I already looked into plane tickets. Looks like there $1000 and up to get to Seoul. If I end up staying, my mom would go bonkers!!! HA!
I have some great ideas for trips if you have a month to spare. Right now is the best time to travel, deals are abound since most people once again consider travelling "a luxury". Let me know if you're serious about it!
As for shaking things up, rejoice in your situation. You have a secure job, which is by no means routine. You are thinking about a different topic, in a different way everyday. Now is not the time to take risks my friend, unless you have a nest egg that will support you for atleast a year.
It may seem like people are making moves, trying new things...they may be doing it out of desperation. It may seem glamorous, but how long will that last?
(I hope you weren't talking about leaving the office).
