I have been in a weird state of mind lately and I’ve been searching for some motivation and inspiration to get me back on track. Last night I received both in the form of an e-mail from Jason Moffatt. The subject line was a very intriguing one. It read “You Gotta“, I of coursed opened it right away and read the following: “YouTube “Alby Mangels”…..“Dude was my hero about 15 years ago. We’d pretend to be Alby Mangels all the time.” After reading this I checked out the above video and after watching I realized that embracing your journey can really create magical moments. Alby …I’m taking notes.
We arrived last night in New Orleans and luckily we got hooked up by Jason Moffatt’s buddy Chad Mac who got us into the coolest RV park near Bourbon Street. Now we aren’t just near everything, we are smack dab right in the middle of the biggest party of the year. Even though night hasn’t fallen yet in New Orleans… the party has already begun. We have been shooting tons of video with the help of Couch Surfing Ori who jumped on board with us and our goal tonight is to snag a great balcony spot and party likes its 2999!
Road Life has taught me more about life than the previous 24 years of my life did combined. But one lesson that I’ve learned that has cost me dearly so far is planning. Getting rid of all the responsibilities I had in the past and then jumping in an RV on the road has given me the freedom to do whatever I want. But with that freedom comes an even bigger responsibility of staying focused and determined on always moving forward. In society today we have a system in place where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Yes of course there are exceptions, but the main rule of thumb here is that for the most part, those who play the game keep winning and those who don’t play the game…well the game plays them.
Ladies and Gentlemen Its official! Jason Moffatt will become a Road Bandit and hit the road with roadbandit.com starting mid January of 2010. So who is Jason Moffatt? How did I meet him and whats he gonna bring to table as the newest Road Bandit? Oh and just to be clear, Jason Moffatt is the guy giving the thumbs up and not the one-eyed asian guy to the right…just wanna clear that up:)
No this is not “Betsy” my RV. This is just a frightening reminder of how bad things could get. Given all the mistakes I have made and the opportunities I have let slip away… it definitely could be a lot worse.
