Entry for August 29, 2006
I dont think my manager knows I blog here and blogging at company time doesnt really amount to a criminal offense of any kind. I checked with the BAR. So its kinda safe to tell you guys that I am currently bored out of my thick skull, and am considering taking a month off from work, you know, an unpaid vacation...i am sure the Finance guys will be thrilled with one less pay check to sign in october. I've been thinking, and let me tell you thinking doesnt happen very often and on a reasonably logical scale to me these days. Yeah, I could think relentlessly for hours at a stretch, while pretending to work, but it doesnt have to make sense or follow any direction in particular because I dont intend my thoughts to lead me to an answer, or any form of truth, if you may. While I do like knowledge, the path of questioning, comprehending, frowning, inferencing, debating, erring, and establishing concepts with a degree of acceptance that one day you will have to deal with its negation comes across as more adventurous and more human. Anyway, like I have been trying to tell you for some time, I need a vacation. I am thinking October, the whole month, back home to Cambodia, and then take it from there. Last August saw me do pretty much the same thing, trotted home to Cambodia and did a few days of Thailand. It was a quick tour and definitely not worth 'all' the money I ended up investing. This time I hope to make ammends. Try Laos maybe. I could probably cruise along the Mekong, loiter around kratie for a while, go up to Mondolkiri and then fly out to Vientaine. I'd have to work out the logistics and the economics of it all, but yeah, it sure is something I've been wanting to do for a while, perhaps alone or with a partner along. If any of you have a better idea or wanna go with mine, just let know. I'll be waiting for inputs by the cyber port!!
Cheers folks!
