We have all got to do something outside our comfort zones every once in awhile. I haven't even done anything new in about 5 years. I mean yea, I drove to San Diego, I drove to Chicago. Those were all done with a companion. I had somewhere to be at the other side of those trips. This time I am totally solo, and just going. I have been learning about a new culture and lifestyle. Big city living where there are more than six million different people to see, hear, smell. Even though it is so cold you cannot smell a damned thing.
I know I do not work for Commune anymore but I feel like this would have been a pretty cool way to market, do research, or experience cities that that company would like to expand into. Portland should be the next place that they put a new destination hotel. I am sure they are years in front of me, in expansion terms, but I am here doing it. I am expanding my personal knowledge of what is going on in these big cities that are destination locations.
I have already been looking into new trips to do in the future. Russia, Brazil, Italy. I am now in a time of my life where even though I am a homebody and I love my family I want to experience the nuances that come with traveling to a place undiscovered by yourself. Every single place that I will go, whether it be alone or with a companion I will see and understand what is going on around me at all times. I must give up the drinking practices that I have gotten into over the past six years.
I have been an alcoholic like my family in Wisconsin. Almost, their drinking habits are wild. Also, the food that they eat in that part of the country is not exactly what I would call nourishing. I can understand that they do not have the same fresh produce as we have on the west coast of the United States, but my goodness. Cheese, and pickled food. Also, bar food: burgers, hot dogs, fried cheese, chicken wings. I had trouble surviving on the diet that they offered to me, but like I was saying before, new experiences and nuances for each place traveled. It is part of the business.
I must say, I do not know what the fuck I am doing here but I am doing it. I have money and I have drive that cannot be matched by other people that I am always around. This writing is not really metaphysical or a fiction, it is my own thoughts flowing through my fingertips. Live it. Even in this damned cold.
