OMG OMG OMG

We’re going to India in less than 10 days!!

OMFG OMFG OMFG

Okay, so, it has finally hit me, and apparently G (read post below). Limited cash flow (ie. NONE), plane flight in 10 days, tons of packing left to do, technology stuff to get going, videos to encode, gear to buy, showers to take, fresh water to drink, toilet paper to enjoy, what the hell am I doing in North Carolina? Yes, I know what you are thinking: “WTF are you doing in North Carolina when you leave in a week!?” Well, the first of only 6 cousins on my Mom’s side of the family just got married. I had to. But now…

OMG OMG OMG

You have to wonder what motivates a person to 1) effectively ‘quit’ work, 2) sell off all of their belongings, 3) fly 234082347.992 miles away, and most of all 4) shun toilets and any resemblance to American toilet paper for the next 3 years. Well, we’ll all have to continue wondering because I’m still trying to figure out what the hell that motivation is myself. I’m thinking something about culture and awesomeness…. We’ll see when we get there in <shudder> 10 days.

The realization factor has been coming on pretty strong this last week… Especially when I’m exhausted and can’t go to sleep because I’m having nightmares of stepping in a mound of stinky cow poo in the middle of a trashy street and me not caring because I’m too busy salivating over the same luscious, plump cow who deposited my new footrest. Crisis averted though! My top priority before departure is almost complete. I figure in the last 3 weeks I have almost eaten a whole cow.

Now, about that packing… <thanks G>
