Launch Trip

Booked! For the few who follow this little projet of mine, January 5th I'm set to go to Puerto Rico. I shall call it the "Horrible Use of a Budget Launch Trip" And for the record, airlines are fucked up. But this launch trip will mark the point where IzunoTravel.com actually gets a little promotion. I will be getting some first hand Travel Encounters for everyone, and more than likely a few unknown 3rd world diseases. But let's talk about something else that happened.

There is a feeling of motivation in me, that for the last couple of months has been hiding in the upper vessle of my depression gland. When the motivation gets lodged there, it might as well not exist because I can't see it and have no clue when it will show itself. But I have found the medicine (3 weeks in the Caribbean) to loosen up that ailment. The moment I hit "confirm" on the flights, I regained my motivation....and in turn shrunk my depression. I just hope it's not temporary.

(WARNING: Next paragraph is me thinking out loud....do not read)
I've been thinking a lot lately, and I need to re-asess my theory of global thinking as it relates to motivation. My new theory is "perhaps there is a need of personal experience to be motivated." After all, most people who have had an impact on the world, have done it out of personal benefit. Ghandi wanted peace amongst the Indian world (he was an Indy). Martin Luther King - black. You get my point. Maybe their motivation came from their personal lives rather than just seeing an injustice and doing something about it. Please don't mistake my examples for comparing these great people to me....that's not comparable....but the theory applies. I think now, to have the motivation, I must have a personal experience of whatever injustice is being done to me, in order to do something about it. (I told you not to read this!)
