I have now been unemployed for six whole days. i think im going to build a small chicken coop in my back yard and keep a few hens. (theres some for free in the paper right now). live off rice and eggs maybe. pick apples and grapes short term for cash when i need it, and work on my truck project. anyway, it has nothin to do with living outside, but it does give me the time to build my camp.. .gotta love the look on my coworkers faces . "what're you going to do?" "ahh, ... something else i guess" .. haha. damn, i feel frreee. (to do what i want, any old time..).
I remember those feelings. It reminded me of the song (who sang it?) ... freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose, nothing ain't worth nothing, but it's free ... and, buddy, that was good enough for me. I remember a day on a beach in California when I realized I had no home, no money, no job and I was free. And I was happier than I had ever been before.
ya thats "me and bobby mcgee". - the one that was running thru my head.. i cant remeber who sings that either.. funny. but im not quite alone on a beach yet, lol. just doin my own thing in a rented house with the bills slowly marching up toward me. thats what credit is for (damn, how un hippy is that?) . oh well. as far as plans go? short term im going to finish this truck im working on, so i can haul supplies out into the bush for a winter camp.. and take watever cash jobs are around for a while.. biuld this tanktop terrarium i've been thinking about.. maybe try to make a small business out of that.. the possibilities are endless really.. check my gallery if ya care to. theres a map in there and shite.
come on you guys... Janis Joplin. Anyways, that must be a good feeling. I wish I had the balls to do something like that. But I find it more convenient, albeit far less fulfilling, to remain a slave to Babylon.
ha i rememered janis, it was the other song (i'm free, to do what i want, any old time) that i still cant remember the singer of. and i am still very much a slave, just with one less chain now.. maybe it was the biggest one tho', that i've gotten rid of.
dang man, I feel you. I was supposed to be at work in 6 hours, but I called up and quit.... It's weird knowing that bills are on the way, but I hated it, and it was seriously affecting school too.... kinda nice knowing I can relax a bit, for a while at least.
