I'm 35 now. I've been a hermit my whole life - despite being a full time professional entertainer for the last decade and a half.
Covid killed my business though. Ouch. Tried homelessness a bit. It was fun while it lasted, but I enjoy having access to a hot shower and a refrigerator too much, so after half a year of dickin' around street performing, I figure it's time to get my life together and really do something amazing.
Can you imagine if you just started doing all the stuff you've always wanted to do? That'd be neat right? So I'm going to write that book, start that website, and get inspired.
Inspire the world, make a difference in the things I care about, and have an inordinate amount of fun along the way.
However, I could probably stand to do a bit of networking. Today I was coming up with names for this crazy venture.. tag lines... building websites etc... but I have no one to bounce ideas off of.
If anyone wants to be my friend or mentor, I'm in the market for useful information and interesting conversation.

A bit about my mission. The whole thing revolves around this one little line that got stuck in my head when I was a kid.
So to get started I wrote 5 sticky notes and put them on my desk where I'd see them every day.
- "Truly, Madly, Deeply." - reminding me how I want to love. It’s an expression that reminds me of my youth, when I was much less jaded. When I felt poetry in my soul and marveled at the beauty of things. I miss being a romantic. I want to get back to that, and that’s a goal that inspires me. Genuine, honest, heartfelt existence living in integrity with my purpose and my passions doing the things I’ve always dreamed of - Truly. A riot of the heart. A love and a joy that is so powerful it defies logic and exists outside of reason and for the sake of itself - Madly - And permeates every facet of my life and my thinking until the whole of my existence becomes my wildest and heartfelt passions. Poetry in every moment and motivation you can feel - Deeply. At the core of everything that I am and want to be. A journey back to self.
- "A 2-week Adventure - A good story, well told" - (gonna skip the text to keep this short.)
- "Happiness Engineer, Psychological Adventurer / Tour Guide, and Philosophical Dance Man"
- "10,000 Hours (of masterful living)" - The goal of this project is to spend 10,000 hours on mastery, and see what happens.
- "Inspired Action. Exciting, interesting, and consistent growth. Powerful Purpose. A riot of the heart. A revolution of the soul"
My 6th sticky note says "Que the music" - relating to the scenes from movies where the montage of progress starts.
The last sticky note I added yesterday says "Do Something Interesting!!". One of the many ways I've found to develop and maintain energy, motivation, and resolve to work on a project of this magnitude is to "keep things interesting". Once a day I do something that falls into the category of "well... that was interesting".
So far I have 9,923 hours left to go. I'm on day 11. Feeling good. Making progress. Let's get it.
