Help Exchange

This is my goal for the next year;

find a host, and volunteer in beautiful Ireland.

I really can't think of anything else I would rather plan on doing.

Farmers Feed Ego's

I recently was hired at a local gas station (not really my cup of tea when it comes to work), but one thing I have learned from this job is that farmers drive big loud trucks, love to brag (beep) about it, and are all apart of one giant cult of friends. They are the type who drive daddy’s Lincoln to school, actually the Lincoln daddy bought for their sixteenth birthdays, and with their glamorous Lincoln they choose to take up three parking spaces by parking diagonally. To me this just helps me put into perspective just how much their ego's must be compensating for.

But here's the twist: I have met one of these cult members, and he is genuinely a nice guy, but it's not as if all of these cult members are alike. He told me that he has friends that will not stand to associate with people unlike him. Talk about fitting the profile. But he also told me that several of his friends have their lives planned and ready to go. Along with daddy's Lincoln, they get daddy's farm, and the millions that reside within it. They get so much, that it's easy to offer a 16 year old friend a job and the house in the future. Holy shit I can't imagine living in such a way. Obviously no spontaneity and or any dreams of the future.

When did farming become so popular? This "farming cult" is never ending. I realize I live in a small town which industry consists of farming and tourism, but honestly, I have never been aware of just how many of these glamorous farming cult members there were. Significant enough for me to feel it is important to write this blog about it. Don't get me wrong, I am extremely interested in local agriculture, but this is clearly mass production, a multi-million industry which individuals and their giant ego's thrive from.

To conclude this pointless rant, I have just come to realize that the only reason my awareness of these cult farmers is because I'm working at a gas station that borders the part of town the turns into farming territory. Yes the multi-BILLION dollar gas industry, which blood-sucking politicians egos thrive from.

Sustainable homes made out of trees

AMAZING

Whole tree buildings can compete favorably with conventional construction while offering a more durable and fireproof structure and a higher level of craftsmanship. From the perspective of the community – whole tree construction invests a greater proportion of its costs into local jobs and materials than conventional construction and also promotes healthy forest management for local timber resources.

Love or Life?

This man, please, can I marry him?
This video, can I be in it, please?

Live off the Grid:

Step 1:

• Find a remote location
• Moderate climate conditions all year
• Natural resources (fresh water, vegetation for food and shelter, livestock)

Step 2:

• Build a shelter
• Gather materials
• Power sources (solar power, wind power, water energy, none)
• Handmade furnishing

Step 3:

• Recruit a team of like minded people
• Adapt harmonious responsibilities (agriculture, structure deveopment, resource management)
• Create music, love and magic

The idea of "Living off the Grid" is not to form a secret society or cult with a mission to shut out the rest of the world, but rather to create a balanced community with a sustainable way of life that does not include industrial goods and international trade. The environment chosen will provide the resources used for survival.

So who's with me?

Embrace Me

I have come to realize that I now feel much to old to be in my highschool, even though I am only doing a semester victory lap. It's not as if I'm literally that much older then the majority of the students, besides having the ability to be served at the bar before them all. But I'm really feeling that the time has come to end these "special" highschool memories. The rest of the world is finally beckoning me inside. Some of it is so welcoming; the culture, opportunity, the people.. But I also don’t want to become immune to the sound that is created to covered up natures truth. I wonder how many people travel into the world feeling lost, mindlessly being sucked into the sound, no second thoughts, just lost. 

Mother Nature, please embrace me.
