WTF????

Let's start with this blog off with little math then eh? Because you know that traveling naked and solving mildly complex equations go hand in hand.

40 x 50 x 8760 = 1,7520,000

OK - that is a large number totally out of context then isn't it? Well let's put it in a better perspective - that is how many hours THE MAN wants you to work before you can retire and be free. YOU ARE DOOMED!

Looking back at that entirely train of thought section above I realize that those numbers are totally wrong and slightly arbitrary, but they were meant to scare you and I hope they succeeded. This is a blog that wants to jar you loose from the confines of traditional employment and the uniquely American vision that you are what you do.

Now of course for those of you who actually do love what you do, all 3 of you, consider yourself lucky and do your best not to rub it anyone's face. As for the majority of society, there is seemingly no escape from the daily grind. Well, may this space on the web remind you that you are not what you do - and you are free at any time to step off the grid, declare your freedom, and enjoy the hell out of life!

I guess I have yet to really say what this here blog is about so here we go. Like most, I managed to work myself into a frenzy for years, dreaming of trips I would one day take and what life would be like without the commute, the long hours, and all things that come with being "gainfully" employed. Well, now I have given up the day job and have found myself chock full of life's most precious commodity, TIME. Yet, I have a goal to travel, and have a certain big trip in mind. Now, all the time in the world won't buy me a plane ticket or put me up in a hostel.

Dreading going back to work, even if it was only to save money for travel - I concocted a little plan that would allow me to have just as much as fun as if I were traveling (which is really a state of mind really, no matter where you are) and make money. I have decided to pick up a random assortment of odd jobs and gigs - one a week - that will allow me to save up a pile and get out of town! So, here on this blog you will find stories from my "anti-employment" misadventures, random craigslist postings, and hopefully a little inspiration for yourself to break out of the confines of the working world.
