It is day three of my recent homeless lifestyle. It is nice to start things from the beginning, like when you are bored of sim city, or civilization, or some other game, and you need to restart because you are winning too hard and it is no longer stimulating enough. Symptoms of success can be damaging and demotivating. I have a 3 mile running route in Ireland composed of many mega hills (one such hill was used by an olympic athlete (and myself) for training. I had worked tirelessly, and struggled to get the best time possible on that run, slowly shaving off the seconds. Recently after many years, without training for it, I decided to re-run the route and beat my old time. I beat my old record by 30 seconds on the first run. I hadn't expected this. I had hoped to have to train, but I was already way beyond my goal. I became demotivated, not realising I was stuck on a plateau, unable to see the next peak. Dragon Ball Super has given me the motivation to continue training to that next peak. I've started wearing ankle weights because I find the gravity on this planet is not enough. I'm going to up to wrist weights and also possibly weighted vest, as well as rucking.
I need struggle. Fine living makes you slow.
My temporary homelessness has been very fun. I've started a new part-time joob to pull in more fiat so that I invest more heartily, and also don't have to cash out any crypto, as well as having that sweet four day weekend to work on projects. Steemit motivated me towards this. I made very nice returns after getting into the markets, and of course from just Steeming away like hot shit. I was just going to chill and watch my profits explode to millions, but Steemit has motivated me to have my cake and eat it. All marijuana and no work makes Jack a dull boy.
I'll be looking for a new place to live real soon, probably sometime this afternoon when I sober up (if indeed I do).
I've been working with many of Liverpool's talents for years, and am working on some exciting projects that I look forward to sharing (some possibly blockchain related 😉 ).
Fresh Italian cafetiere coffee. I had to wait ages for this to be served.
So excited!
Have a great week everyone! If that is indeed your real name.
Edit: I forgot to mention I am currently staying with a friend and not rough sleeping. I had to wait 20 minutes after I woke up to get that coffee delivered to me in bed.

Thanks @riskdebonair for sharing your homeless journey... very inspiring, keep us updated with the events in your life, i totally agree that fine living makes you slow and lazy.. This struggle will definitely change your perspective...
Wow, what inspired you to take this on? I can't even imagine not sleeping in a bad, let alone being homeless...
Me neither. I'm sleeping in a sleeping bag on the end of a bed. Not much room, but it isn't that bad.
Is it the sleeping bag I gave you? :)
Of course. It is my home now, even when I am in beds with duvets all to myself. I will look after it, and try not to spoil it...

"Fine living makes you slow" strong point.
What are Ireland's mega-hills?
Ireland was carved over millions of years by glaciers. It has rolling hills as far as they eye can see (which isn't far because of all the hills).
I like the idea of not owning a place. Gives you options and flexibility. I don't know why people hoard possessions. Although I'm guilty too, I have a hoard of beer in my fridge, I just noticed :/
Hoarding beer is good. I try to live as Spartan as possible, only buying things I need.
..all marijuana and no work... this is the life man :D
great post @riskdebonair your thoughts about homeless is remarkable.
Interesting post :)
Cheers from a homeless lady
