I'm confused. I'm out. Scrambled. A lot on my mind and nothing stays. Hmm I'll try writing. So I mentioned on Instagram that I've "got" this lot in the Swedish outback on the hook. What does that mean? The land is free. I've had my eyes on it for some time. I've been in contact with the broker and the municipality about it. From their point of view the key thing is that I can finance the build and meet all the building requirements. That's not an impossible feat but I'll have to put in some work, I suppose. At the same time I'm reaching the bottom of my treasure chest and need to start generating an income, in this sadly money driven world, to keep myself eating and running. I'm about to register on Patreon as the World Summit has a grand plan to reintroduce the gifting economy, that has worked through 95 % of human existance. Unfortunately I don't have too much hope of being fully funded and able to live up to my passion driven purpose of saving the world just yet. I'm thinking I could probably set up an airbnb in Jamaica but first I'll need running water, a kitchen, a composting toilet, internet and a couple of beds. Part of me really regrets spending this much time away from the project although the time apart helps me figure things out and reset my aim.
There's the lot in Sweden I'm going to check out. I'm almost scared to mention my plans though cause it seems everything I do just gets turned on its head anyway. I'm learning still. Just need to catch a break one of these days. Anyway, I want to put a music studio and have art production facilities as well as space for boat repairs and building. If those things sounds fun to you and you feel like joining such a venture, let me know! I could use a few extra hands on this one.
I met a woman here in Costa Rica though. That's fun. We're dating I guess. The sail between Jamaica and Costa Rica is just a few days. But the more I think of any potential future I realise that I have a lot of plans but zero idea how this will play out.
I'm liking the world summit. Great people, intentions, connections and potential.
I've also been thinking of starting podcasting again. But then there's the band that doesn't get enough attention. The ukulele that needs practicing and may very well be my most accessible means of a steady income. Not to mention the harmonica that I can't memorise a tune on if my life depended on it. Maybe I'll just start sharing YouTube videos on Facebook instead. I'll write something funny.
...and the money thing. Thinking back on that trip to Cuba that was a waste of time and money. Sure, I got a nice tattoo. But being mased, beaten till I could hardly stand and losing all my things sucked. No más camera para me.
So here I am in the present moment surrounded by having more than my basic needs satisfied, concerning myself with the evermore foggy past and never certain future. Empty. Full. Midway. Passing between. Up. Down. Ever balanced? Never balanced.
Anyway here are some dates, let me know if you want to jam:
I'm going to Mexico on the 25th of November to visit the World Summit peps. Hoping to get interviews with some of them and maybe publish on my D-tube channel to give people an idea of who they are and what they are doing.
On the 16th of December I've got a ticket to Copenhagen and eventually I'll get to my home town where I'll transit before going to Stockholm for Christmas.
I'll be in Scandinavia for new years but no idea what I'm doing. Anybody need a bartender? I've got some alcohol to sell too. Holla at me!
Some time in January/February I'll go see the lot in the North of Sweden. After that I might stop by my beloved Oslo for a week or so before returning to Jamaica to continue the work of dealing with one of humanity's most apparent and destructive means of pollution to eventually turn the problem into independence provoking boats and means of accommodation on international waters where governments can go fuck themselves.
Peace
