Surviving industrial collapse, creating life beyond civilization; 7 generations strong, whistle-blowing, setting boundaries and respecting others, sewing my own clothes, cooking good food, body ecology diet, paleo diet, fermenting food, sitting around a backyard campfire, making stuff with sticks and stones and bones, hanging out, surfing the internet, sitting alone and watching animals and shit, riding my bike, going to bars and not drinking or smoking but living vicariously through my friends who do, seeing my friends in large groups, dance parties, modeling, sipping black tea and reading anti-civilization/pro-indigenous books, having long caffinated talks with people I barely know about how fucked civilization is, watching the revolution from the edge, getting covered in mud (or not) and then hiding, fine dining, having apocalypse dreams, meeting new people, hating what deserves to be hated, making plans, playing in the woods, playing in the city, pretending I'm living after the collapse of civilization.

They say there ain't any heroes no more, well I'm gonna give 'em back their fucking heroes. No seriously though, that kid with the razor sharp boomerang in Road Warrior, he's my fucking hero. Also Crooked Finger, a Molalla indian who did not go quietly into the night.
