HUNTER/GATHERER

Fine, I'll go first!

About Me

Hilary Clinton doesn't like you. Neither does Mitt Romney, Rudy "9-11" Guiliani, Barack Obama, or any of the other corporate shills running for president. Wal-Mart is not looking out for your best interest, or the interest of your community. Neither are Home Depot, Chase Bank, or Coca-Cola. Why? Because you're not a shareholder. You're a "have-not." They are the lords, and we are the serfs.
Your choice in this clusterfuck we call a society, is whether to stay and work the land, or to just walk off into the wilderness. If you can't imagine a life without Starbucks, credit cards, and an endless quest to acquire closet filling shit, then by all means, proceed with your toiling.
However, if like myself, life seems more interesting when it's based upon experiences, knowledge, and human relationships, then the hunter/gatherer lifestyle might be for you. If the spiritual void that is consumerism over culture leaves you feeling empty, then the hunter/gatherer lifestyle might be for you. If your heart beats and you still have blood pumping through your veins, then the hunter/gatherer lifestyle might be for you.
Free to all who are willing to let that which does not matter, truly slide.
The Enemy: Wal-Qaeda

My Interests

Just fucking living.

I'd like to meet:

The elusive calm that resides within everything.
The way I felt in youth when the world seemed full of promise.
The meeting place between beauty and meaninglessness.
The sigh of relief I hope to breathe at the moment of my death.
Complete and total acceptance of my mortality.
