The climb back on the horse

Its been two days since we got back and I have gotten through the study material for LEED, I still need to do the sample tests and see how I do.
I still feel convinced that the two ongoing ideas I have currently can work, but both require significant amount of work to define and make real, both structure and content wise. Time sensitive and I must act as soon as I can.

OWGAC- the off kilter title draws the initial attention but I hope that the attempt to inspire is what will sustain the concept.

There are bad news every where and you have just join the ranks of the jobless millions, a victim of the time.
Bullock we say! Your life have just begun! Instead of busting your ass working just so you can afford to buy that large screen TV t0 help you relax and recover from busting your ass working. You're done! You are no longer a nameless cog in a cold, uncaring profitability machine, you are a fine gentleman with dreams and dignity. You should wear a large name tag that said "My name is John and I am sick and tired of your bull shit!" in thick, red, permanent markered print!

Why adventure?

Make them cry! People's reaction went from "I am soo sorry to hear.." to "I am soo jealous of you!"

Me, me, me and ME! You spend the past X number of years of your life groveling at the heel of your bosses serving their every whim and what did you get? You even shaped your life to fit their needs till that job title is now of more interest to others then who you are. Who are you?

The collective wisdom of desktop support. What do you do when your computer is slow, and nothing work? Reset the damn thing! And we believe here at the OWGAC that the best way to do that, is to drag your ass to a remote corner of this planet, through a hundred miles of sleet and bad road and scream at the top of your lung "I AM SEAN!"

Next time when some one ask you "so what do you do?" look straight into their eyes and say "I do Sean" if you sense any hints of a lack of conviction on your part. Repeat step 2.

This is not a cult, we're not going to make you sell flower by the side of the off ramp. But if you agree with our belief, join us and tell us who you are.

The How,

It is not a worthy advanture unless it is hard, failure will be wholy attribute to the lack of creativity and commitment on your part. These are harsh terms but you'll surprise your self.

What you have. People often forget that money isn't the only precious resource in their life. The other, just as important if not more is time. Yes your income has just gone on the miracle diet plan but you also just gotten an 100% raise in free time. A plane ticket is 50% cheaper on Tuesday then it is on Sunday, that difference is part of your capital.

The unemployment payment max out at $405 a month, congradulation, you just found the best job in the world, you get paid and are not committed for any time. Use this resource wisely.

You might need a cellphone, eliminiate any other expenses in your life. Move in with your parents.



You are define by that which you made. Go take a pottery class, take a lump of clay and shape it into what ever that fit your fancy and make sure that it is relatively compact. Then take it with you, this is your avatar and who you are. Its your job now to understand what it means.
