The World is for Us.

Less than 4 reflective weeks until my fresh start in Mexico. My girlfriend and I have at long last decided to betray everyone and everything, and fly away.

We actually wanted to wait another year, save up some money and move to Thailand. But fate has forced us to take a chance on Mexico. The growing weariness and distress of work had piled up too high. We just had to go out on a limb and make the impetuous choice.

We've lived in Montreal, Canada for the last 7 years. We used to love it; but alas it has simply lost its luster for us. We just don't care much anymore about commanding waiters in restaurants, or bars, or cafes and shopping. We desire a simpler, more natural life and to be surrounded by more lush and rustic beauty.

We want our freedom and we want it now! Freedom for us is largely about self-sufficiency; It means being resourceful, getting creative and becoming adventurous. It means freeing our minds from the shackles of fear and control and from the prison of domestic, civlized society.

When I say domestic, civlized society, I mean everything automated, anti-social and feeble, sedentary, televised, programmed and monotonous. You know what I mean right?

For example I would take greater joy and fulfillment from some veggies I grew myself in a humble patch of land, than to sample all the food of an opulent buffet.

There is nothing actually wrong with all those good, fancy amenities; but they've seemed to ultimately rob my life of good health and meaning. You know...why take in the sun and walk down into the valley and dip my hand into the river, when I can just run the kitchen tap?

I'm making huge exaggerations here to make a point. I'm almost 40 years old now. Movies and video games don't really cut it anymore. What is it that gives life meaning? What is success? What is wealth? What has it all come down to?

I've been working hard labor since I was 13. The fruitlessness of conventional employment has become more than obvious to me. But at least it's given me strong hands and good endurance.

I am learning more and more about what it means to be a man. It's not that complicated. I want to have land. I am pining to heap stone upon stone and build a house upon the hill. Isn't that what wise men do?

I want to make and appreciate beautiful things. I want to learn from other people with interesting lives.

I am more than happy to turn my back on government and embrace anarchy or voluntaryism; call it what you want. Maybe it is time to loose the fetters of civilization and the many mind-control systems that uphold it.

Human beings are good stuff. In fact I believe that love and goodness is inherent in all of us. The dark side of humanity in general only comes out after being traumatized or when people's most monstrous appetites have been sharpened into gross, excessive desire. But deep down most of us are not that bad at all.

We don't need kings, queens and presidents. At least I don't. I can do it on my own.

Please wish me and my loved ones luck and stay tuned awesome people!
