Closer To Free
It's finally my last night at Kunsan Air
Base.
I suddenly realized the other day
that this is the longest I've lived in one place since 1997. I've been here for
almost a year, and the only comparison in that length of time was an 8-month
stint in California.
Now it's over, and
even though I've had a great experience here, it also reminds me of why I LIKE
moving around constantly. I'm so tired of being in one place that I can hardly
wait until tomorrow after work, when I'll get on the bus to go, in words similar
to David Wilcox's, to the big airport to fly to the bigger airport to fly to
another big airport to fly to a littler airport to fly to what's probably the
littlest airport of them all.
I've
been cleaning tonight; trying to get this place as neat and tidy as possible for
the next person. It's never going to be perfect. There will be DNA of mine in
this room (hair, you pervs) until they demolish the building. That crap that
builds up around the bathroom faucet -- that's not going away either. There are
things that have been stuck to the kitchen floor much longer than my tenancy,
and have become an inherent part of its molecular
makeup.
Umm... anyway, I'm leaving
here, and I'm not suited to staying in one place for a year at a time. Or else
I just haven't found the right place...
