Hump Day!
So today is my version of hump day; I get past today and its downhill the rest of the way. While my family will likely show up in the next 4 hours, I’m not quite sure what to expect. Its going to be a whirlwind to my current ordered (for the first time ever) existence. Maybe I can coerce one of them into being an impromptu camera crew.
But being in the the middle has me looking past the end, to the questions that remain when this is all over; I need to order everything else.
A few weeks after this is done I’ll be moving to a new city (Chicago); once there I need to get a job and figure out my life. Just another day as a member of generation Y. So what should I do for employment? Write? Something food related? Perhaps professionally live off the land? Trust me, I’m open to ideas.
But that’s not the only thing that’s on my mind. What do I do with this blog that has perked so much interest? Just shut it down? Keep writing? If so then what to write about that people would find of interest? Maybe I’m just going to be a one blog wonder.
I would at the very least love to meet Les “Survivorman” Stroud or Bear “Man vs. Wild” Grylls. Somehow. I have a newfound appreciation for what they do, and would like to tell them so.
If anyone has any answers to any of these questions (3 anys, I know) feel free to chime in. At this point, I can look ahead at the questions, but the only answer I can worry about is what’s my next meal going to be. Likely mussels.

I’d just like to say that I’d appreciate it if your new job was NOT professionally living off the land. I kind of thought once you moved to Chicago it may be nice to go to dinner from time to time and maybe even go indoors sometimes.

I would suggest you continue living in your backyard indefinitely; if only because I want to keep reading.
Also I’m surprised you haven’t taken to eating grass? If you take your rock to it you could probably make a nice wheatgrass smoothie. Cheers!

I emailed Les and Bear - hopefully they get back to me

Well, I live here in Wicker Park in Chicago and I have a feeling you will find it difficult to live off the land…that is, if you can find any.
You can however, join the barbarian commune under the freeway overpass and ask people for monetary donations..
on second though, maybe it’s better to stick with the blogging and living off the land…

If you’re around the Long Island / Metro area, I’d like to treat you to your first meal when you get back to civilization.

Some people find fishing relaxing and rewarding. Cerebral even!
Don’t give up! try at night at the top of the tide and when it starts to fall.
Instead of mussels try strips of conch! Cut thin like worms.
Keep the faith and try not to do too much hatin’ on the art of fishing.
Sounds like you are due…..

Well, look at Morgan Spurlock, he took one small hairbrained scheme and is still making money off of it.
