Well, we had to start this some time, today would be as good a day as any. As I sit here listening to Ozzy, and ripping more TV files to the stack of blank dvd's sitting on the floor, the sound of rain pounding on the roof above me...I am reminded of why I want to do this. By this, I mean the move back to Alaska and the entire process of building a log cabin by hand. I am a firm believer that what is most important in life, has really been lost. The true meaning of family and friends, the feeling of doing a job to completetion, and, the triumph of surviving against the elements. many folks would see this as more animalistic then human, I see it as the other way around. An ant will follow the rest of the hive and do its assigned job, without question, because that is what its purpose is, the reward is a meal and a safe nest for the collective. That is what we have become, and that is what I want to leave. Over the last 46 years of my life I have done many things, what they have led to is survival and nothing more. I have had the corporate jobs that required the suit and tie, the labor jobs where I built just "part" of a thing. I have owned my own home, I have owned my own business, heck, I have even fallen into the traps that others have with credit cards gone mad and the entire "Keeping up with the Jones'" mentality. Now, I want to actually LIVE

I invite you to join me on this journey that I am about to embark on. In the weekly additions that will follow, I will try and keep all of you updated on the progress of the move, of the training I will be doing, of the purchases I will be making for this adventure, and most of all, on the growth of myself as a person while I attempt to transform back....from an ant, into a human being again hahaha. As always, I would LOVE your input, feel free to let me know your thoughts...good or bad! I will love em all! hahahah
