I Am The Sputnik

I did some math. In the past 30 days, I spent only 4 days at home.

The worst part about heavy business travel is not the homesickness. It’s the isolation from everything and everybody. It’s the feeling of having a go at everything by yourself, and being let-down by people/bosses far far away who don’t understand what’s going on. It is the feeling of being totally and terribly alone. It is the awful realization that you have to self-motivate so you don’t get depressed. Absent, is the new present.

On a solo trajectory, moving towards a distant goal, I am the Sputnik.

^{In other news, congrats to fatkitten who finally lost her braces. Now I can look her in the face.}

so is it a toothy smile or wat.. i still cant look at her in the face.. its such a horendous sight.. probably after plastic surgery…when she looks like … hmmmm… Jessica Alba.. Totally Hawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwt

hey man, with this blog you are not alone. existentionalism is able to be overcome. first way not to feel alone is not to judge… everyone is apart of the same human species. maybe nobody understands your predicament or situation, but they are not you and nor should you expect them to be. home is where the heart is, for business travel i suggest adopting everywhere as your home.. good luck king caleb!

man, that sounds like it sucks. Big time. I’m genuinely sorry for you that you’re wasting away in random airport’s waiting lines.

I hear you man. I’ve only been gone for two weeks but that pressure of lonesomeness is starting to kick it. It makes me want to hole up with a good videogame or movie or something. Instead I have to keep going, keep checking things out, keep writing…

But even when I’m a good boy and try to get lots of work done, the f’ing electricity f’s with my power adapter and my laptop won’t charge. WTF? Has this happened to you at all?

Anyway, back to your point. Happiness is something that comes from within my man. Attachments to things and people lead to suffering ;).

is that why u keep sms-ing me those sweet promises??

u juz wanna die, juz fucking die ald lar. save us some oxygen. wakowww

naeboo maybe he’s waiting for a favour when he gets back ;p

AND WHAT DO U MEAN U CAN FINALLY LOOK ME IN THE FACE!?!?!?!?

It must really suck having to be separated from your wifey all the time :(

We’re with you here on your blog man. Take care and come back soon!

You know… actually.

Gosh.

For one I actually loves to travel. No no, I mean not the travel as in holidaying. But travelling on planes. I enjoy the rides, the service, the nap, that isolation. And then when I hit a new country, I enjoy finding things out on my own.

And if I am there for work, chances are I will be relieved that I don’t have to be stressed out thinking of what to do on holidays and maximise my time there (as most tourist do). Perfect excuse to just go back to hotel and soak in the tub for two hours.

I am strange. I know
