Drifter n : a wanderer who has no established residence or visible means of support [syn: vagrant]
Something just does not feel right with me unless I am on the go. This has been my "home" for little too long for comfort. I�ve moved from Taiwan to Saudi Arabia back to Taiwan to Maryland to now my 6th place (the uncle�s, the apartment, the frat house, Anne�s, Andy�s, here) since I moved to in California. My entire collection of furniture are collapsible and even with a compact car I can move everything in about 4 trips. I have moving down to a science.
Perhaps it�s a never-ending pattern in my life. Alan: Whom is destine to migrate in search of real home. Maybe that is why I never really feel completely out of place when I travel. I still do feel like I am a relatively stable person, but sometimes I feel like I�m searching for something in life and I�m just going on instincts to find it.
Some people might think that�s unstable. The unknown. The unfamiliar. The strange. I think that really bothers a lot of people to be out of their comfort zone. Not I. It's not as if theres really anything here holding me back. Except a lack of money, but that's only a matter of time.
Maybe I�ll move to Seattle and watch it rain and drink coffee. Hey! I could open up a Starbucks. Cause you know, there might not be enough Starbucks (and in Seattle of all places). Or I can move to New York and be a natural pedestrian. I�d stroll around like I�m not in a hurry. People would say "Why the fuck is that guy just strolling about? Isn�t he in a hurry to get anywhere?" My casual ways might get me mugged.
