I love to write.  I find it to be an often cathartic exercise.  It can also be silly, inane, pointless, and, at times, drunken - if only there was an un-send button. However, these days I haven't been writing.  I lack inspiration. There are a lot of things to write about. From the ridiculously inept U.S. government to the extremely disappointing Nationals.  The problem is that none of the things going on around me seem to spark...well...anything.  I am awash in apathy.

Why is this happening? I have a few ideas but no answers.  It could be that my life has become too routine.  I know I've been in Korea too long and am longing for the day I can get the hell out of here.  I don't do anything anymore.  I used to be active.  Korea used to be fun.  Now all I do is go to work, come home, play games or watch TV on the computer, drink too much, and fall asleep.  It's not like there is nothing to do.  There's disc golf, ultimate, baseball games, and a myriad of simple get-your-ass-out-of-the-house options, yet I can't find the will to do them. Am I depressed?  Maybe.  Am I bored and unsatisfied with my life?  Most certainly.

What can I do?  I'm waiting for March to come, so I can move to Taiwan. I'm hoping it will be the change I need to break out of the malaise.  It will be an adventure in a number of different ways.  I'll actually be living with Rebecca for the FIRST time, which should be interesting at the very least.  There are a lot of unknowns that accompany the move as well.  Can I find work? Can I find work close to Rebecca, or will I have to live n another city.  However, these unknowns are also the things that charge me up.  It's the change I need.  Korea has been very good to me, but it is way past time to move on to greener pastures.  Well...different pastures anyway.

It's a Cruel, Crazy, Beautiful World
