I stopped bloggin for two days as an extended moment of silence for two journalists held captive in North Korea. see more here
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the boredom of being in San Francisco. Being sentenced to 12 years hard labor in North Korea doesn’t sound exciting, but being a pawn in a nuclear struggle does. I hope the two are released soon and can come home and binge on oreo cookies and Jack in the Box. Which is exactly what I did when I got back from Italy ten years ago.
It’s inspiring to see someone take off and dig into a story. I need a break from hauling garbage and painting apartment walls. Any ideas?
We can’t answer that for you, Jon. You need to go on a vision quest.

a vision quest. Isn’t that what we do everytime we get online looking for something new?

I’m referring to the Native American tradition of spending 18-24 hours in a smokehouse and then wandering into the desert for a couple of days, upon which your true purpose will be revealed to you. I know the desert is a long ride for you. Maybe you could make a smokehouse in your yard and then wander around SF for a while?

I think I need to work at most 4 days a week. give myself three days a week to work on more creative stuff. I have my Mexcellent Spanish language learning course to develop. I still haven’t set up my discount fortune booth. At first I considered something drastic like taking a year off and going to Iraq or joinging the Coast Guard, but neither of those things will get my creative stuff done. Thanks all for helping me work that out.

how about three – one- three?
three days of 12+ hours working
one day to fall asleep in a hot tub after cleaning your casa and counting your coins
three days of non-stop production

it fits the schedule n.d.p. laid out for you. Seemed like a natural progression to me.
