This picture was taken of me randomly by a friend of mine while I was just chillin' at the bus station waiting for the 3:15 to Burlington.
I love this picture, this is from back in the days when I was still living outside. Everything I owned was in that backpack. I can't say that I don't miss it. Total freedom is something I still miss even now, sitting here in my warm comfy room. Sometimes I do miss those days. Those days where'd I'd wake up to the sound of cars passing on the bridge above me. And not thinking to myself 'What do I HAVE to do today.'
Instead I would wake and take a swig off my leftover 40 from the previous morning and think to myself. 'What do I WANT to do today?'
Sometimes now I feel very caged. Stuck in the same rat race that everyone is stuck in and I ask if its really worth it. I do miss the streets quite ofton.

i feel u on that, its hard to have the best of both worlds. ive been homeless a total of maybe a few years altogether, mostly in long beach california and st louis missouri. but then i moved in with my parents in tampa florida b/c they offered me a job with their business, but i still keep in touch with the streets and kick it with my homeless buddy in downtown. the only thing keeping me from going completely transient is the fact that im a digital artist and owe alot of ppl artwork x_x
They are small, usually self-sustained houses that are sometimes grouped in communities (like the one my friend was in). People in the community get the land that the group is on, build the little pods, and live in them-- paying for nothing but the tax on the land. Because in Vermont, at least at the time of my friends' being there-- small buildings like pods had no building tax. Since all the resources like water and electricity were nabbed off of the land, they paid no bills to live there, except the land tax. They got some solar panels from somewhere. And I don't know how they rigged their water up. Whoever had a job made next to pure profit. I imagine they bought some of the food and grew some of it.

I don't think I could live with a bunch of hippies. Hippies irritate me.
Nah, Me and my boy friend are building a house right now. It's taken some time but it'll be nice when we finish and don't have to do jack shit except pay a land tax every year. I mean We gots a garden and there are plenty of critters around to eat. Solar panels supply the juice and back up gennie supplies any additional juice. Heated by a wood stove and the water is gravity fed from a spring box. Livin' at its finest. :D
