[...] A few days ago I wrote about Square Root Day. I looked at my blog’s incoming links and found James Aruthur blogging in Square Day. Today is 3/05/2009. If you take the square root of 3052009 you get 1747. So the date today [...]

Just saw that you lived in Sac before the base closed. Did your dad work on the base? The same thing happened to my brother ( air force ) before he left to London. I used to live in Corvallis ( 5 years ) until last week. Small world, very cool.

I really like this article because you made some good points in regard to how people think they “need” to be employed or live a certain way because of the way they were raised. I feel your point of view even though I too was brought up that way. You know: to go elementary, junior high, high school, and college, get a decent job, raise a family, and try to retire in this life time. I think that we all have the ability to go out and do whatever we want; we’re just scared of change and uncertainty. I believe that people feel threatened or offended by people who go against the norm. Everyone as children start off creative and imaginative and believe we can do anything and everything. Then as we grow older and get told what we can and cannot do, that’s when we start losing out dreams. There have been times I’ve lost sight of my dreams but now I’m back to letting myself get back to me. Like you said, the lost and found is within us. We get so caught up with the world around us and like you said, constantly “seeking for approval” from everyone that we lose sight of what it is that we want out of life; forgetting that we can create our own world. I realized that no one is going to care about my life and my dreams more than me. So its up to me to wake up and make it a reality.

I think that “society at large” about which you speak is the corporate world. They need good little consumers to keep them profitable. That’s why we work and buy so much stuff that we need storage for all the stuff we end up with. ( Excuse me but I’ve been re-reading my Chomsky books. )

I’ve pretty much quit that world. I don’t need a huge house and all it’s accouterments, ie: mortgage, car loans, credit card debts, et al. My wife and I are working toward the simple life and a 4 hour work week. That way we’ll have what matters to us most: time. Time to explore, create, learn, or even waste as we see fit.
