I am about to leave the paradigm of 'normal society,' and go backpacking around the world. I have no <b>money</b>, no concrete plan, and no idea how I'm going to survive, much less flourish, but flourish, I will - I guarantee it. As Sam Jackson said to Travolta in 'Pulp Fiction,' "I'm gonna' walk the Earth, have adventures and shit....". I just emerged from a 6-month spiral of <b>drug</b>s, strippers, and bad, bad things, and I spent all the <b>money</b> that was supposed to fund this trip, but I'm gonna' do it anyway, and I hope to write about my adventures as I go. I am armed only with my personality, a bartending licencse, and the willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve my goals. I will party in Rio, I will smoke hash in Amsterdam, I will run with the bulls in Pamplona, and I will go Down Under, in more ways than one. The quote on my refrigerator door says, "There comes a time in every life when you know what you should have done, and it's almost too late to do it." That's where I'm at, and at the very least, when I'm on my deathbed, I'll be able to say that I did it. At best, I'll write about it, or create a performance piece about it, and my 'irresponsible fantasy' will make me rich. The truth will probably lie somewhere in between....
