CURRENT MISSION

Working like a Chinese prisoner of war.

ABOUT ME

Action plan = saving up money by enduring mind-numbing grown-up-job till June 23rd: one week some place in Denmark where the couch has already been paid for by my family, summer house, beach, pool, two 3 feet high nephews who are, by all estimates, going to drive me crazy.

Then Roskilde July 3-6.

Then the world!

.... "plan" so far is interrail through Europe, prob try and get to Istanbul and then fly to India, Madagascar, Australia, South America. Will try and keep veeeeery open schedule and look out for work-for-shelter/food opportunities! .. Initially I plan to do this in 6 months but slow travel is so much better and if I can somehow stretch the money I'll just keep going till I die.

Mission objective for travel, and life in general, is to meet new people, to learn something about them and from them.

The word that best describes me is happy. Or content. Or, wait. Happy! The glass is half full, damn it!!! :D

PHILOSOPHY

When did we forget our dreams?

The infinite possibilities each day holds should stagger the mind. The sheer number of experiences I could have is uncountable, breathtaking, and I'm sitting here refreshing my inbox. We live trapped in loops, reliving a few days over and over, and we envision only a handful of paths laid out before us. We see the same things every day, we respond the same way, we think the same thoughts, each day a slight variation on the last, every moment smoothly following the gentle curves of societal norms. We act like if we just get through today, tomorrow our dreams will come back to us.

And no, I don't have all the answers. I don't know how to jolt myself into seeing what each moment could become. But I do know one thing: the solution doesn't involve watering down my every little idea and creative impulse for the sake of some day easing my fit into a mold. It doesn't involve tempering my life to better fit someone's expectations. It doesn't involve constantly holding back for fear of shaking things up.

This is very important, so I want to say it as clearly as I can:

FUCK. THAT. SHIT.
