That's how it starts out. Life's a bitch and then you die. Work for forty+ years and have all of this shit that you don't need, "investments". A lot of young people try to impress the world and buy too many things, these things you think you own that end up owning you. I have always been one to be constantly getting rid of my material belongings, its too much of a burden to be tied to so much shit. I currently am working a job I hate, to pay the bills for an apartment that I couldn't give two fucks about. Well that's going to change right quick. I have moved all my life growing up and I thought that having my own place in Boise would make me happy but I was wrong. I used to always tell people that I would be happier in the woods, where I'm not surrounded by all of these ungrateful yuppies that think their entitled to everything because there fucking Americans. Not everyone is like that but most are in the U.S.A. as far as I'm concerned. I watched everyone I grew up with end up in jail, some in prison, and almost all addicted to hard drugs. But without a doubt I have watched them all hate where they are now and what the have become. Just machines. Its sad really that we have to pay to be alive, quite depressing honestly even troubling.
That's where it starts, in this hell that they call paradise, looking for a way out. Looking for a different way to live. I've been a traveler for a long time, I just didn't see it until now. I don't have much family, but the family I do have I thank, because I wouldn't be here without them.
I cant say for sure where I'll be in five years but regardless I'll be happier than I am right now.
Fuck The System.
Thanks, Conner.

Sounds like "Lifes a Bitch & then you Live" to me, Conner. I think many come to these types of crossroads many times in their lives. To me it sounds like you are contemplating hitting the road to Live A little. Go for it!

Yuppies suck & the American dream isnt being a wage slave with a house in the burbs with a white picket fence, mortgage, dog etc. To me the american dream is doing what ever the fuck we want & not subscribing to the profit mentality & getting up to go when ever we feel the need. I personally try to balance the family life with kids & an apt, some work; more traveling, volunteering at concerts etc. This year I have earned $900 & its May; ($100 came from a donation from a fellow STP member & friend), The other $800 is the accumulation of 5 months of income earned last week from this calendar year. Most likely I will make much more but right now it dont look great in the bill paying dept. That being said I am still heading out in the next week for a short little 8k mile round trip adventure to PRB in Vegas.

Yeah, Your right. After what traveling I have done and hating my job I have really come to the realization that what I'm doing now is a sad excuse for living. I would much rather be out enjoying my life than worrying about bills and "keeping up with the Jones". I know what I want and need to do now its just getting there. I'm confident that I will be much happier if I live my life on the road and get away from the bullshit I'm dealing with now. I know that there's shitty people and places everywhere, but at least I can load up the van and leave when I want too. I know that people will judge me everywhere for my decision but fuck it! They would find something to judge me for anyways! This has already been a great welcoming to STP.

Sounds like that silent voice the one in back of your head.

Welcome to STP.

Good Journey.

Yeah man, all was well until we lost Steve Jobs. I just hate it so much now. Soon it will all come together, I'm just finishing up the van then I'm out!

Just an update here, the 19th of this month is my last day for me at work. Then I will be setting up a squat between Emmett and Middleton ID in the blm while I do landscaping to get the rest of my funds in check for the van. If your interested in this area pm me, cause I know the 208 damn good and well, I'm open to all the help I can get. My girlfriend is supportive of my choices but I am afraid that she will not be coming with me on my journey.

Just a quick update for anyone who cares!

Thanks, Conner
