Day 370 - May 28th - Fast Forward to Almost Now
I have been moving from city to city for over a year now and also now I moving
the place I return to between travels out and abound, oh boy! Well there are
many joys involved with displacing one's self. The opportunity to place all
your things in boxes. The chance to pay someone way too much money to break
all your stuff while moving it and the exuberant mystery of the scavenger hunt
of searching out items afterwards hidden in boxes afterwards. At least time
was short and workload high mixed in with catching up and preparing to leave.
My overload mode was complete and it is rare that I ask for help but without
it submersion was imminent. I am beyond lucky that magical people will drop
all, for my rescue. Here is a pic of where I decided to move:

After some thought, perhaps a bit of alteration is in order and the blank wall
removed?

Ooops daisy, looks like all the wall fell off, oh well, not a big fan of wall
paper anyway.

Say "Bye bye low ceiling." Say "hello big mess."
Why would a human voluntarily indulge in the misery of relocation, perhaps
you ponder? Well, hopping to the other side of an infinite redundant traffic
jam that divides my humanly self from my shorties and the world of Rat was an
inspiration. Compounded by the fact that this small path leads to to the sea

PS. that is the shadow on monitor Daniel next to my head and he lives just
two stop lights away now. Plus, this curious contraption feels attractive for
reasons unknown

Though whether it's worth it is constantly under scrutiny so I must cling to
my momentum of the original decision despite the obstacles that so cheerfully
leap into my path or more realistically put; the obstacles I chose to create.
**** The Surrounding World ****
Oh, on a separate subject, here is something I found interesting on several
levels. There is this guy Harry
McCracken who is the editor for PC World Magazine who is quite possibly
the most respected editor of computer stuff out there and he resigned early
May. Turns out that he had new boss and in in less than a month he wrote an
article that was censored. His new boss felt that an article he wrote was not
so friendly to advertisers and was told to rewrite it, so he quit. I love that!
Integrity vs. money in its purest form. Since then he has been rehired and his
boss re-assigned. I love that too, integrity wins over greed. I love those things
on a global level. Finally it turns out that the article he wrote was titled
"10 Things We Hate About Apple"and I love that but on a more personal
and opinionated lever. the reason the article was quashed was that Apple phoned
PC World and requested that it not be printed. I don't love that. I believe
that cheating by leveraging power to promote your products is a below the belt
move. I am fine with success but only when earned rather than manipulated.
**** End The Surrounding World ****
Right now I am writing from notes and residing in Japan. Come join me, I wish
you were here! Come soon and very soon I will fast forward blog to now in real
time. Tomorrow in real time is a show at Tokyo Dome and in blog time? Well,
we will find out soon enough.
