The Infinite Abyss

Called the Infinite Abyss as a reference to the movie "Garden State," this is the blog of a 24-year-old, single guy in Kentucky--about his life, current events, travel, work, sports, essentially anything.

At twenty-four years, I have seen too little of the world yet. Raised in southern Kentucky, on catfish and sweet tea, I've learned to balance my upbringing with liberal thoughts. Surprisingly, they cohabit peacefully. Traveling internationally is what I love most. If I could do anything for the next year, I'd backpack abroad. But instead, I work in higher education for my alma mater and am a graduate student for the next two years; I love both realities. Eventually, I want to work for a study abroad program.

Life's good, Scrubs is back

I've been quiet around here of late. Tonight I'll make up for that.

I'm watching TBS in my hotel room. Their "tell us what you think is funny humor study" commercials are hilarious and I quite enjoy them. In addition to this, I will take this opportunity to say that I'm unashamed to admit I enjoy Orbit gum commercials in all of their cheesiness. I think I would like to act in one. So, I'm traveling this week for work. I'm in Lexington staying at my favorite hotel. I'm not sure this really constitutes as a complaint against my perfect hotel, but I found some stuff in my room that is questionable. Last night, I knocked my cell phone off the bedside table in my sleep. This morning, I kneeled down in the floor to look for it. In my search, I found a peanut, a penny, and a shred of paper that had the words "sensuous," "impulses," and "muscles" on it. I had to wash my hands. My perfect perception of this hotel now has a stain.

Lexington is my favorite town to visit, but for whatever reason, I'm not really feeling it here this week. I just really dislike winter, and I forgot my coat. Usually, I'm able to get out and breathe some air, but I've been fighting some kind of head cold or something and without a coat, I've confined myself to inside only. After two days of this, I'm kind of lonely in Lexington and ready to go home. Today, I got chinese food after all my work was done. I was sitting at my little table for two in my room and got to my fortune cookie. My fortune said, "Happiness is right beside you." So I knocked on the hotel wall over to 208. No one knocked back.

Several things have happened since I last blogged. Likely the most altering of these is my first and second experiences with yoga. I went last Tuesday on lunch to the Preston Center. I sweated like a fat man and was shocked at how strenuous yoga was. Oh my gosh, I thought it wasn't going to end. It was only supposed to be 35 minutes, but I felt like I'd been holding myself up with one arm forever. Even the down-dog pose, which is supposed to be a resting position was killing me. Finally, though, we wound down, the instructor told us to lie on our backs. In her words, "this is your time" and the music played and she came around and put eucalyptus and peppermint oil on our foreheads and the next ten minutes was absolute bliss. My body, all stretched, tired, absolutely melted into the mat. My mind basically flushed itself and all I could think of was the smell of the eucalyptus and peppermint oil and I was laying bankside of the creek that runs through the moors at Bronte Falls on a warm summer day on pillowy, green grass. So I went back the next day after work for more yoga.

Scrubs is back from hiatus. WAHOO!!!
