SEA bound

Dear Gentle Readers,
(skip to the "**********" to get to the point)

Hi. It's been a while, right? Well banish those thoughts of loneliness away, because I'm back and ready for a whole new world of blogging about travel... yes, that's right; another multi-month-job quitting-no holds barred-three sheets to the wind-one man, one backpack, adventure of a lifetime-kind of travel extravaganza that you can only read about here! I really think this should be my job. Travel. Sneaky ways to hack life and get around the current paradigm of how one must experience the world (college, debt, job, house, heavy objects, etc). Maybe the book will be called "True Neutral: A unscrupulous guide for the scrupulous person" or something. Here is an excerpt about what true neutrality might be:

"True Neutral characters believe in the ultimate balance of forces, and they refuse to see actions as good or evil. Since the majority of people in the world make judgements, True Neutral characters are extremely rare. True Neutrals do their best to avoid siding with the forces of either good or evil, law or chaos. It is their duty to see that all of these forces remain in balanced contention. True Neutral characters sometimes find themselves forced into rather peculiar alliances. To a great extent, they are compelled to side with the underdog in any given situation, sometimes even changing sides, as the previous loser becomes the winner. A True Neutral druid might join the local barony to put down a tribe of evil gnolls, only to drop out or switch sides when the gnolls were brought to the brink of destruction. He would seek to prevent either side from becoming too powerful. Clearly, there are very few True Neutral characters in the world."

To that end, I'd like to show people how to create a situation in their life that allows them to experience the best of the world that is outside a typical way of thinking, full of tips and tricky, cunning ways to outsmart obsolete methodologies for operating in current times, and status quo. Blah blah blah.
