Mundane

Willfully mundane however. Probably since I started working at the Magic Kingdom I have been eagerly waiting for the summer break. The days just dragged. I just wanted to not go there for a whole month. What could be better than that? I was fixated on June 24. I never really stopped to think what I would do. Just not going would be enough. Which kind of speaks volumes on how I live. Planning is not a problem for me, its detail planning, that’s the mystery. My mind just doesn’t work that way.

I can look forward to an event; a perfect example is a trip I took to Amsterdam a few years back. For me the satisfaction came in deciding to go. It was a big deal, go to Amsterdam by myself. The planning was done. Forget the fact that I hadn’t gotten a hotel, thought about what I was going to do when I got there, save for the trip, come on now. All I knew is that I had the plane ticket and I was going. I just let the trip happen to me. I had a terrific time despite myself and lack of planning.

So now I’m on summer break the first one I’ve had since the 80’s and I am very happy to let it happen to me. I’ll be bored, watch days on end of primetime in the day time, smoke way to many cigarettes, look at a lot of porn in the web. By the last week or so I will start to think that I have wasted the break and in a flurry try to fit in all the things I wish I had done but just couldn’t get off the couch to do it. Then back to the Kingdom, but I’ll have Christmas break to look forward too.
