How to keep track of a wandering Hermit... (Hirlok going dark...NOT)

[Hirlok]

I'm still nursing the dream that you are actually my childhood sports hero, Jose Chilavert.

how to destroy a dream:
1. look up that name on the interwebz ("who the fuck is Jose Chilavert???" - I am quite ignorant when it comes to sports)
2. the guy is even older than me. By 3 years.
3. weight is about right, but he is 6 cm taller.
4. Must have been quite a legend  - I am not (yet).
4. I no iz play foootboooool. I iz fat meditating Hermit. See:

Virginia is just one of the places on the shortlist that I want to check out in more detail - I will take my time traveling around, maybe an old camper mobile for some time, and settle down when I find something nice (lonely, forest, a little creek maybe, 40+ acres, AND FUCKING FIBRE OPTIC INTERWEBZ!!!)

West Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania. All would be good choices, if you can deal with cold and muggy in the fall/winter seasons.

Hirlok, if you don't check out some of the farms out here in California (some of which you could easily intern at and live for free), then you will miss out on a lot!  I also recommend checking out some of our national/state parks in CA.  They're fantastic.  Let me know if you're in San Diego next year!

CA  is on the list as well - actually half the US is, apart from the cities/too populated areas and the really backward / christianist areas and the far north... I will really spend quite some time travelling, maybe work/live on some farm or check out an earth ship project, etc. (can do my internet/writing stuff from anywhere...), see interesting areas in different seasons.... then decide. Or not. Perma-traveling ain't bad either...  ;-)

San Diego? funny. been there as a young journalist (German "Outdoor" magazine, still remember, story on "Eagle Creek" daypack production in Mexico...) - liked it (for a city...).
Will give you a shout for sure when I am in the area!

Good luck in the wild beyond friend.  May it treat you better than this mods heavy cav!

[Geon]

Hey man. Always enjoyed playing with you. You're good company. Good luck out there in your future endeavors!

Whenever I think of siege bros your name usually comes up with the devoted. I know we never talked or were friends. And I know I don't even play this game anymore. Even so, I'm sad to see you go. You seemed to enjoy playing crpg in your own unique way(despite the ping). Although I could never relate, you were always someone I enjoyed seeing in server.

You say that many of us probably wouldn't become friends outside of this game- you could be right. But there was once a time where I could hop onto siege, shoot the shit, and have a blast. You were a part of that. Your impacts are always bigger than you think.

Eat shit and die,

same! I always found you funny and one of the more authentic assholes on the server - and being authentic is among the things the hermit values most. Cyber respect is a funny thing, LOL, but something we had a lot, esp. among the siege players.

Yay - Snuff made it to the hated forums to say goodbye to old Hermit.. *hug*

... and of course he has to mention cav. Fuck off.

Such good stuff. If only I had the guts to leave stuff behind and enjoy a life like this. Being married and a slave to money (though a freelance one) gets you tied up.

The experience is worth it - though you still would be a slave to money, as long as  you want any of the nice shiny things and luxuries we would not want to miss (like Internet and a decent gaming comp... LOL). Life here is cheaper, but on the other hand there are less ways to make money (local wages are terrible) and you still have to buy food unless you want to be a fulltime peasant and have the knowledge for it.

A place to live is the main issue - speculation and corruption has made land crazy expensive almost everywhere on the planet.

but anyways: there is always a way. Webworking is possible from almost any place in the world, and I know people who have "dropped out" with partner and kids - and esp. the kids LOVE it (unless they are already fucked up) because they can grow up in a way more natural way and actually enjoy life instead of being little stressed-out adults...

[Talanarsis]

*sigh* All the fun people are leaving this year... you... Testi...

[Daunt_Flockula]

I could actually webwork and easily sustain a living anywhere on the world with just a moderate internet connection. But my wife would definitely not want to leave an urban life behind altough the idea of it all would sound beautifully romantic to her in the beginning. I love her too much to leave her behind to pursue the spartan life I have been yearning for. Double-edge sword indeed.

Also, I do realize that one can never be fully free from money. The slavery is real wherever you go. Yet there is direct involvement in it and there is avoiding it as much as humanely possible just like you. It still feels good to know that people like you are living that life and making it real while not having to directly severe their ties to the world. It keeps that "maybe" inside every one of us alight

I believe I drive by one of earth ship places in Taos anywAys later Hirlok
