Rut: A Face-off. An Invitation.

Sometimes one hears interesting urban myths of individuals who go to buy cigarettes, only to abandon everything and never return.
The same could be applied to tourism or instant adventure. After all, what's holding you back? Only the whole society and how it's constituted - we are settlers, even though there are examples of nomads in travel writing and the world.
But, more importantly, what's day-to-day living like for you? I have to say, I tried different modes, ranging from current uneployment to highly paid oil company rat race with impulsed flying to Berlin, London or Amsterdam for weekends. I would never again trade for something dull. I'd actually prefer anything modest but worthwhile.
And, judging from my translation tasks - that actually cover a panopticum of different professions - dull is everywhere. Society is definitely not high up on the ladder of creativity OR productivity.
Well, the summer of 2011 is closing in. They say it's going to be massive over here indeed, especially due to unrest in Africa and Greece. How about coffee and cigarettes? I never quit.
