Ick, I’ve been home with the flu for 3 days. Between James Bond movies and sleep I’ve had some time to think about the direction of my life. I have concluded I would like to drop out of society as I know it, move upstate to a cabin in the woods and make ceramic bowls and pots. My sister agrees and has offered to contribute half the $ for a wheel and kiln (not quite sure from where yet) in exchange for moving into the cabin (I will build from logs and chicken wire). We will bow hunt squirrels when we grow hungry.
I feel like I should mention that although I do not have a thermometer, I am pretty sure I am feverish and therefore unable to resolve the few holes that
may exist in my plan so far.
Now I would like to make it clear that I am not trying to collect donations for my new life. Nor do I want to start discussions about the flu, James Bond, or the logistics of hunting squirrels with bows. (unless you really feel you have to)
I would like to hear about the ways you good folks would spend your time if you dropped out of society. Anyone?…
I had a friend who dropped out of society a few years back. He joined the French Foreign Legion to get away from his wife. This may not be an advisable course of action.
But dropping out of society is admirable if you can pull it off. I’ll teach you how to shoot a scout rifle. You’re definitely not killing a squirrel with a bow.
does moving to canada count as dropping out of society?
I would move to the mtns in vancouver. Build a cabin in the woods off some small road. I would work as lift operator or in a daycare center at some mtn (don’t have to talk to any adults). All my free time would be spent snowboarding and finding my next meal.
