exit

I haven’t written about the exit strategy much (if at all) because I really don’t want to talk it up too much, especially if I don’t go through with it. But in a nutshell it goes like this…

1. find a new home for the cats
2. ride the motorcycle for a few more months then sell it
3. sell the house
4. couch surf Gainesville for a while, still holding my job (homeless!)
5. sell the truck
6. hit the road by bicycle, touring the united states first then a flight to europe

I imagine it will take me into 2009 to get this rolling.

I’ve been realizing that I can do whatever I want and that most of the time when i feel inhibited it is not because other people are inhibiting me…rather its because of the choices I’ve made…to buy a house or a motorcycle, to go to school or choose a particular job, to buy “things” that need you to maintain the above, to take on pets, to get into this relationship or that, etc.

So I am shedding my inhibitions. Having almost nothing, needing almost nothing. For now this is my direction, which could change at any time, on a dime.
