Chances are pretty good that if you're reading my blog then you have read some of what I've written before. If not, you'll quickly find that the theme of most of my writings are quite varied. They range from anarchy to love, suffering to theology, philosophy to clones. But the topic that I most passionately write about is passion. When I say things like "Get out there and do whatever you want," "Why are you really in school right now? Take a year off," or "Let's go to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan next week, not have plans, and stay til the money runs out" people get a little freaked out. Rightly so. But seriously consider and take these things to heart. People, there really is nothing keeping you right where you are right now. Follow no standards. Be unique. What's keeping you from doing things that you want to do??
Yell "WIENER!!!" right now! I bet you didn't. Did you? I did. I'll do it again, "WIENER!!!!"
This is the kind of mindset that I believe in. A passionate living. Do everything with intense desire and an unmatchable spirit and you've conquered the world.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to India, or Nepal, or Thailand, or Korea, or Turkey, or Egypt, or somewhere. I'm doing this for the reasons I listed above. I have a desire to see the world and impact it somehow. I'll be teaching English to kids in one of these countries. I need you to do one little thing for me. I need you to help me get to India or wherever. I've written a 400 word statement of intent to earn me a scholarship for a TEFL (Teach English as a Foreign Language) certificate. This certificate is internationally recognized and is my key into virtually every country to teach and make some kind of minimal living. Anyway, this scholarship foundation has a component of social media tied to it and whoever can obtain the most votes, wins. I don't like the method but I didn't create the game and it's a game that I would like to win. So, I gotta play by the rules. Anyway, here's the website and my statement if you care to read and vote. Thanks a million. I thank you for your support and would encourage you to something
equally nuts. (If you need further encouragement to do something insane, find me and I will be
your personal cheerleader.)
