Hoblog Reborn

Greetings ghost readers!

I, Patrick "Hobo" Davis, have had a change of thinking. This blog was started months ago with the intent to deliver insight to life in Korea as an English teacher. The effort was not pursued appropriately and was thus neglected.

Much has changed since the last post in February. I am no longer in Korea. I am no longer a teacher. I am no longer employed.

Through a strange turn of events, I quit my job as a teacher and embarked on a short but very fulfilling journey through Southeast Asia. My brother Anthony was fortunate to accompany me for about two thirds of the tour.

I returned stateside in early June, where I spent the bulk of my time serving no purpose. I held out at home and at the cabin as we all waited for my sister Charlotte to wed the love of her life Pete. Once the ceremony was over, I packed my bags and my recently acquired Jeep Wrangler and hit the road for Texas.

So here I am living in Austin, Texas with no job. I live near the UT campus in a single bedroom apartment that has little to no flair. I find myself sitting here on this cool Thursday evening evaluating my situation. It has been about two months since I've been here, and I have no job to show for. Still, I am surprisingly positive and upbeat about my lack of gainful work.

The purpose of this blog will now be a journal of life as a willing observer. I am 23 years young, and I have watched my dreams dry up and vanish. I struggle now to know what it is exactly that I am supposed to do with my life. Sure, my priorities are still very much in sight, but knowing how to maintain and provide remains very difficult.

I have always considered myself an indecisive person, and it shows. What I can say for sure is this. I want financial security but only to the extent that my family is happy. I want a family of no fewer than five kids. In fact, one of my few remaining dreams is to have the unconventional 12 person family (with only one faithful and beautiful wife). Beyond that, I would like to own two homes- in different countries-- which countries, I cannot say because I don't yet know.

So from here on out, my goal is to post at least three relfections per week. I hope to gain some insight into where I have been and where I am attempting to go. If for some reason you happen to stumble across this blog, please feel free to comment. As much as I would like this to be publicly viewed, it is evident that that may never be the case.

For the time being, cheers!
