I have been pretty busy the last several days. Ironically, the busier I am, the less I feel I accomplish. But that is nothing new. It all has to do with relativity and the ultimate ethereality of super science. But I can proudly say, that whatever has kept me busy has been with one primary purpose (even if it may not seem so to observing eyes) … namely preparation for my adventure. Now I admittedly have been slacking in the whole fitness department, but even devolving back into a couch potato does not really worry me. I have faith in my physical ability to do the hike. And the current lay-about-ness is temporary … I WILL get off my lazy arse again soon enough.
Right now the biggest obstacle to be the famous explorer that is my current destiny is … you probably guessed it … lack of funds. So everything I am doing now is in pursuit of those bright shiny objects we all seem to revere so much. Pretty much everything I have been doing lately has, at least in some way, revolved around my inner capitalist.
SHUDDER!
The Go Fund Me campaign is ongoing, and is helping a bit, but I never really thought of it as the ultimate solution. After all I am not a cute puppy or someone who has recently suffered a tragedy. Nor am I particularly newsworthy. I have basically stopped an extraneous spending, which means bye-bye to my brief illusion of a social life. And no more games for you mister (at least the kind that cost). I have made a(nother) site that basically fools people into thinking I am an experienced and productive member of society. In other words an online CV of sorts. I went so far as to post the link on Craigslist with a request for local temporary work. I even got a response already, though I suspect it is someone trying to hook me up with the same business I am already not doing so hot in.
To show how desperatedicated I really am, I even stepped into the world of surveys for money. No doubt the 2 cents I earn ever six hours or so will get me where I need to be in no time. Assuming I can survive the complete inanity of it all. Are people REALLY that superficial?
As the date gets closer, the excitement builds. But so does the that feeling you get when you haven’t finished the school project you had three weeks to do and it is due tomorrow. In other words everything is as it should be. Just like any theatre person will tell you, it never really comes together until the opening day.
More updates soon. Hopefully positive on ALL fronts!
