quit my job. running away in my van in one months time.
i am working on getting all my shit together now. luckily i don’t have that many possessions to sell off.
the perk of being a failure with no ties is that its pretty easy to get up and go.
after years of gypsy dreams, i finally have the funds to go through with it.
i went to visit new orleans this spring to scout it out.
its one of the few places i can afford to buy a house (also detroit, baltimore) with plywood windows and no plumbing of course. i was not won over, and i should have based it all on my distaste for chicory coffee. i love the way the city does southern vice, i liked the filth and architecture, but, i did not like the politeness. its too invasive, i need more privacy walking down the street. it was also pretty cheesy and would seem like a lateral move. i guess i expected vampires, mystery and packs of wild dogs, instead of just a fuckload of used up drunks.
planning on going to the PNW, and possibly canada now.

i spilled a large cup of coffee all over the laptop.
hence the silence. finally got it back up and running.
finally, after years of dreaming, my van. My buddy was trying to save his house, so i got a good deal on it. i will be converting it into an rv over the next few months.
i am not sure if its a contractual agreement, but i was drinking beers with a buddy who makes high end furniture that said he will transform it.
i am looking forward to living passionately again.
my friend Nicholas took some photos of me. i suggested the location of “home suite home”, an extended stay motel on colonial drive. Ive always loved the bright, Floridian colors that they painted the buildings with, paired with filth and entropy. “home suite home” is the epicenter of various sexual predators and child molesters.

my friend casey did a short film. this is part of a larger film though.
