From the Vaults I

I've recently unearthed my blog from an old myspace account and will be reposting some old classics up here again. Enjoy!

ok, i'm in seoul, korea, it's one in the morning here and i am wide awake. not because of jet lag or slept on the way here or that i'm not tired.

it's because i was sleeping on the floor of the seoul airport lounge when i got up to see what time it was and the clock told me it was 8am. this sent me into a small panic for i was boarding at 915 and had yet to find my gate and go through security.

i ran to the bathroom, changed clothes and tried to look halfway presentable to my new employers whom i would be meeting in less than three hours. after five minutes, i ran out to find my gate while eating my breakfast of scoobydoo fruit snacks and the remains of my peanut butter jelly sandwich i discovered in my bag.

as i was half running with my guitar case on my back down the main hallway big enough to fit three semis side by side i began to wonder why asia's second largest airport was so quiet. i was the only person in the entire hall except for the disgruntled employee fighting her floor waxing machine. she wasn't having a good night by the looks of it.

it all becomes clear when i arrive at the main flight board and see that it is only 1240 which is why i am awake and writing this. my mood is progressively worsening because my butt hurts from the 15 hour flight the day before, my eyes hurt from watching more movies in that time than i've seen all summer, my head hurts from the headphones i was wearing whose unique sound specifications amplified all explosions and sound effects while dampening dialogue making these movies quite the painfully, thrilling experience, my legs hurt from being folded like pretzels in countless ways while trying to sleep and my finger hurts because i closed the bathroom door on it.

other than that, it's been a good experience and i will be writing again from the other side of the yellow sea. i think i'm going to try to sleep again but first, i'm going to reset a certain clock.
