*Vacation or *Soul Searching? Kuala Lumpur - day one.

Malaysia day one...


Today I went for a walk around Bukit Bintang. I didn't stroll too far. I just inched my way around the immediate area to get a feel for where I am. I had the all too familiar feeling which I've come to have time and time again throughout my life stemming from the following questions:  Where am I? What am I doing here? Where is my life going? Why? What next? What do I want? What is the point? Is there a point or purpose to all this / life? 








I didn't come up with any answers. I got tired of thinking. I grabbed a beer from 7/11 then I went back to my room to watch videos online. Currently, I am watching monologues from the Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson. It's hot outside and humid. Beer, air-conditioning and familiar TV favorite feel really good right now.

The truth is this. I am not on vacation. I am on a mission, a continued mission of life where I hope for some fulfillment, contentment and joy. 

It's the journey not the destination. Fingers crossed I can find that part of me that used to feel this way once again and find some peace. 

Until then, I suppose I should go gather some interesting pictures... perhaps on day two??? 

Stay tuned.
