i suppose, to those of you who may find tis blog, it is common knowledge that "primitive", or, "free" human beings easily complete all necessary "work" to meet their needs in approximately 6/day. most of the time. i'm a huge fan of the six hour work day! i am also one of those people who suffers terribly in the winter time from depression and apathy. were i simply permitted to act naturally, i promise you i would spend the winter sleeping, screwing, and living off fat reserves and preservatives. doubtless, much of the appeal that idle theory has for me is that it rejects the Protestant Work Ethic, which, with industrialization, is largely accountable for most of the woe that i experience all too regularly--not only in the winter. anyways, if you are not already familiar wit this article, i hope that you enjoy it as much as i have!

Homeless Coming (only a little dirty)
Well, after another nine months spent slaving in Alberta for zero accumulated wealth i've come home. More or less. A week in the city, another in the country, and finally, back in the city for a little while at least. i'm still waiting on my final pay cheque, as well as my vacation pay and separation papers from my last job in Ab. So, i'm living on all too limited funds, surfing couches and looking for alternative means to ensure my survival. So far i've been doing housework to try to earn my keep, but i've put the word out, through facebook, that i'm looking for odd jobs in excange for food and places to kip for the night. i've been jobless for about a month with no real income, and i'm loving it! Perhaps i'll it the road again at the summer's end. Who knows? These past three or four years have been nomadic, no question. Working mostly crap jobs, i haven't remained living in the same city/town for more than seven months during those three years. Hitchhiking, Greydogging, and one road trip wit a friend. i feel i'm saving up for one ultimate adventure. Maybe it begins here. In Montreal.
