Cue Hank Williams

Sometimes I think it’s better to know nothing about yourself then to have taken a dozen personality profiles. It’s even worse when you fail those stupid things. Based on the Myers Briggs I’ve taken I’m an XXTX, and I think the T is changing these days. Damn!

Some places are great for business travel. When you’re there you know that there are other people just as focused and miserable as you are. Honolulu is not one of those places. Everywhere you look here you see couples or groups of friends laughing and having a good time. There are so many single (especially Japanese) women here that some single guys could have a great time, but for a half-way introverted married man who’s spent all day talking to people in a conference room it pretty much sucks. I’ve had just enough of people that I don’t want to see another one, yet I feel so alone that I just wish I had a real friend (preferably my wife) here with me.

I’m trying to find ways to enjoy myself, but the schedule just isn’t allowing it. Work starts too early and ends too late for me to continue my surfing lessons; the light doesn’t last long enough to spend much time trying my hand at photography; and I really hate shopping. I think I’m the only person I know who could come to Hawaii and not have a good time. Dangit, now I feel even more alone. Hmmm. 8:00. I think it’s time for bed.
