Random Traveling Thoughts

I have the most random thoughts when I’m traveling, especially if you are traveling alone. And given the vagabond I’m, I have a lot of these moments. Though in the long run or in the life in general, these thoughts don’t make a lotta sense. But at that moment, you do feel that you have attained enlightenment, NIRVANA….

Anyways so this time I thought I should keep a record so that when I’m old, I could look back at it and wonder why I lived in a suitcase my entire adult life. So this post goes out from a Coach USA bus from Madison to Chicago. Technically I’m supposed to be in Chicago for an interview but ……blah!!! I couldn’t care less. Actually that’s not the whole truth. I do care a bit but not enough to get myself glued to books and try out all possible interview puzzles.

I have been having this feeling for quite some time now. Have you ever felt that you are living somebody else’s life? Not the way this sentence is interpreted by most. Not your parents’ or friends’ but it feels like you are living some stranger’s life. Its not your life because it seems so disconnected. You don’t know where you belong, where’s your home? Every time I go to a new city, go out of my protective cocoon (read whichever city I’m currently living in), this feeling comes rushing back. Am I actually living this moment or am I seeing it from outside like an observer, like the way we see movies, just less glamorous and more “real”? I know I must be sounding like a real nut job right now. ☺ And the sane part of my brain says never to post it on my blog, let alone talk to anyone about it. But blah!! As it is nobody reads my blog, so I might as well write some crap in here and somebody would think I’m a profound thinker…or probably not!! but anyways…..

So I might have started this off as a crib post but I’m not gonna go on those lines and make people happy or unhappy….depending on if they are part of this genre or not. So there are so many things I can write about….happy things…..The economy getting screwed up royally, the Presidential debates on TV and the vice-presidential debates on TV. Man….do I love Palin or do I love Palin…??? After George Bush, she’s the only one who can give some food for thought to all the Colberts and John Stewarts. I have a feeling Obama is gonna be really boring….I mean after witnessing Bush choking on a pretzel and giving Angela Merkel a massage, what can Obama possibly do to beat that……may be dance on “YMCA”….damn….thats the best I can think right now……either my creativity has gone for a spin or you seriously can’t think Obama goofing up…..

Everybody in America has gotten so accustomed to the President being a celebrity and doing awesome things, it would be hard to go back to the same old monotonous, boring news. Anyways on home front, I guess I read some news article about equally stupid things happening in India. I guess good for everyone…..the human race as a whole is becoming dumber…..finally they will subject to the might of mediocre writing and even more mediocre creativity…..

Anyhu….I guess that’s it for this one….actually this gave me an idea to start writing a travel blog…..some incentive for me to travel to more places….as if I need any…..Chicago is pretty close and before I get to civilization again, I need some restarting of my circuits……so LATER!!!!
