Dear Readers,
The experiment had been stopped, I don't know yet will it be just be a small break and that it is finished and a new direction will be taken. There are a lot on my mind and I am trying to think through them and made the right decision. It had occur to me that the direction and the effectiveness of the project had not been what I expected and I am a bit disappointed at the result. So now I am in the process of reevaluating the project and trying to decide how can I improve it and what new direction I need to undertake.
Thanks for all your supports and interests.
All the best.
Patrick

Dear reader, The tool kit shall be with me in this journey!!!
Dear readers,
I had decided that I will be using my tool kit and the traveling manual on my journey. I was indeed worry about the disconnection between the people and I. I did not want to be seen as a performer and I did not want my neighbors to be my audiences. And that is why I decided to live in simplicity and through that hopefully I can connect my story to other's, for I believe that one's life story is the most compelling things for people. One's life story is the most powerful thing to compells people to change and to bring actions. But there is one thing that I forgot to think about... it is that the power of a life story is not resides in its power to act as an example to people's life, but it resides in the questions that it bring up within people. Those questions is the building block of people's believe and life. It is those questions that compells people to find the answer for themselves. It is those self discovered answers to life questions that people follow and live accordingly. A person can not give an idea to another person and expects that idea will last long, but an idea that is discovered by one's self, it will stay forever until another self discovered belief comes. So it is not my best interest to live a life that people can follow and copy, but instead to live in a way that bring questions to other's life so they can through this oppontunity and discover his or her own answer for life. So I had decdied to use my tool kit as it is surely a great way to bring out questions that I wish to bring out.
Thanks for your reading and support all these time.
Hope to see you all with my tool kit along my journey.
Please keep in touch!

The journey will begin tomorrow, not with the tool kit... but just a backpack with 19 items.
Dear readers,
The journey will begin tomorrow, and the decision had been made... I am not going to be traveling and trying to live as a true human being with the tool kit that I had built and the "traveling manual" that I constructed, instead just a backpack with 19 items within.
You might be in shock and ask why, after all those works that I put in to that tool kits and the manual, I am not going to use any of it in my journey. I have been thinking long and hard and realized that the tool and the manual do not fit what I am trying to do. I am trying to live as a true human with the focus on sustainability, community, truth, creation, and the notion of progress... and the tool kits and the manual seem as they will become the wall between me and those 5 goals. it seem that if I travel with the tool kits and the manual, I would not able to fully experience and struggle with those 5 notion. It seem as I will be more a performer than anything else and the people around me cease to be just a neighbor of my community but become audiences. I don't want to be a performer and I don't want them to be my audiences, that is not what I had intended to do during my journey. I was meant to be a true human being living, breathing. So I had decided to go on the journey with the most minimal equipments. I want to live in such a way that is simple, so simple that I can truly focus, live with those 5 notions of true humanity that I want to explore. It is only when simplicity is achieve, that I can truly feel free and true to my human nature. I want to truly live in a way in which I only take what I need; The tool kit offers more than I need to survive in th city. I want to achieve the notion of only having what you need in order to discover what human truly need in life. i wonder to myself maybe after all, the city around us can have no effect on us as long as we only take what we need and focus on what we need. And when our mind set is right, the environment around us might not able to affect us... I don't know and I cannot wait to discover more along my journey.
More of the thoughts I have on the journey and the decision I had made about not using the tool kits will be continued to be in my personal journal. I hope to find a kind person everyday that will be willing to take my journal of the day and type it on this blog for me as a comment to this post. So all the news about me will be comments of this post... So please continue to follow this blog and this post.
I know that I might able to explain every thoughts and reasons well in this blog about the decision that I made about the tool kit, but it is not my intention to do so here. I just wanted to continue to inform you the process of self discovering and the progress of the experiment. Hope you understand.
Here is the what I am going to wear and the content of my backpacks:

Here is the what I am going to wear and the content of my backpacks:
My bandanna, to keep my crazy hair in control
2 T shirt
My journal and pen
My food
my blankets
Identification.
My rain shower wear.
So these is the thing that I will be living off of and the city itself.
I cannot wait to start the journey!
Please keep me in your thoughts as I will keep you in mine.
Hope you keep coming back and check on this blog and the comments of this post as my daily journals might find their way here on the blog.

Wish you all a blessed summer and I hope to see you all during my journey.
Have a great day
Patrick
