"…a person needs new experiences. They jar something deep inside, allowing him to grow. Without change something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken." - Duke Leto Atreides, as House Atreides prepares to leave Caladan for Arrakis in Dune.

We'll see how much of an adventure it is. I will document it as much as I can. I just wish it wasn't gonna be as hot as it is. I need a/c almost all the time.

No, I need a/c, seriously. The cold I'm good with. I will survive winter without heat, but I need my a/c.

It's storming here. Rain, thunder, lightning, so I of course must go out and stand in it! Yeah, I love rainy gray weather. I hope I'm going in the right direction, making the right choices... We'll see.

Many of my friends don't believe I'm gonna be homeless, don't believe I need help, they are thinking I'm kidding even though I've kept them informed on my situation and it's slow to rapid decline. They refuse to believe or offer help. However, they offer plenty of ridicule and make jokes at my expense and seem to get quite a laugh out of it. I'm getting rid of so many things I probably shouldn't. Can't get them back. I just don't want to have to pack and unpack stuff. Don't want to burden anyone with storing it all. It's feeling weird. Some of it feels good, but much of it feels horrible. I'm just pretending to myself that I've lost it all in a fire.

‎...to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go...

I'm heading south. Going to see the Gulf. Try and find some work. See old friends and relatives. Live in my car if I can't find any couches to sleep on. If it is a mid-life crisis, I feel it was forced upon me by the economy and this dark cloud hanging over me, or the curse someone hexed me with, but I'm gonna try and have fun with the situation and see if I can turn it to my advantage and make something out of it.

I'll be checking in time to time. So if you know of any couches I can crash on, and possible jobs, please let me know. I will be sleeping in my car. That's gonna be very tough in this heat, plus cops don't dig people sleeping in their cars.

So seriously, if you have a couch…

"There's so many times I've let you down. So many times I've played around. I tell you now, they don't mean a thing. Every place I go, I'll think of you. Every song I sing, I'll sing for you. When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring."

Took the "How Sexy R You?" test on Oprah, I couldn't believe the results! I'm the Best I've ever had! To celebrate the win and my last few days in my house, I fixed chicken breast, salad, cucumbers, red wine, then I made a bubble bath in the sink with some Palmolive and soaked my right hand. Put it in some sexy hand lingerie, lit candles, kissed it, then it said, "Too much wine, my head hurts. Leave me alone." It stayed on one side of the bed and ignored me.
