Seize the time now, while you're young and (relatively) free from responsibility. Take several months or even a few years. See the country. Take a roadtrip. Drive until you're exhausted, then pull over at a rest stop and sleep in your car (cheap!). Get up, hit the local Y for a shower or whatever, and keep going. Take lots of pics. Even if you think you won't want them. The day will come when you'll have a "real" job, a family, and a mortgage. You'll be grateful for these things, but at the same time they will keep you from just taking off on a whim, driving to the next state (or the next country) and spending time doing whatever it is you want. You're only young once. Don't squander it. |

True posts. As you mature, life gives you more and more hurdles. That's all they are...hurdles. Enjoy being free and unencumbered....and fairly broke. They are gifts. There comes a time when you accept your mortality. Then you almost embrace it. And once again...every breath becomes a gift. The key to life is living it. To it's fullest. Overcome your hurdles and NEVER let them bring you down. Then as you age...you have great memories and golden moments to comfort you. I look back at my tragedies and windfalls...both with fondness. Live life to it's fullest and never pass on the chance to be kind. And minutia is just that....the shit that laps at your shoes....it won't stop you. Only you stop you!

Godspeed Ed. Thank you for sharing this step in your much longer journey. Thank you for the lessons in fighting adversity, giving hope and living life you give. dammit man, you'll be missed and remembered down here, you have touched to many lives not to be.
and when the time comes, if you aren't too busy, could you "nudge" a kick through for us mere chiefs mortals? |

I've always valued experiences over things. ![]() I could spend hours talking about all the great adventures I have had all over the world and here in the US; from multi-millionaire to penniless and homeless to flying first class to Hong Kong 15 times and being treated like a king in limos and super hotels to many celebrity encounters to a masive variety of women of all ethnicities, colors and ages and wild varieties of experiences that have been my education. There's not a price I can put on that! ![]() |

I'm not sure exactly what to say here, but I figured all of you guys should hear the news.
I'm friends with Lonewolf Ed on Facebook, and just read a post stating that he passed this morning. RIP, Ed. You have left a heck of an impression on us all. |

That sucks. I really enjoyed his posts even though it was of the worst circumstances. He seemed like a genuinely good person.
I'll have a drink for him after work. |
