here's the plan - we gather an elite group of utopian hippies (have
you read aldous huxley's brave new world, i haven't but stumbled across
it in a quaint - aren't all bookshops quaint - little bookshop today,
who shows a traveler a bookshop anyway? alas huxley was trumped by "the
little prince" and a novelish about the caribbean, i am hoping to gather
insights that are hopefully, but unlikely to be, accurate about island
life, wonder if much has changed? i signed up for my loyalty card too
now this, the unspoken rule of never giving a traveler a book is
defeated by the fact that i get 50% off a book if i buy ten! so going
to have to do that, it's logical isn't it. i have already earmarked one
on Taoism and rastafarianism, because they go together...
and here
i got distracted again. SO, we find hippies, a few elite hippies, to
join us in disparaging (i guess if i am going to use this word in ablog i
should know what it means? i'm torn between appearing intellectual and
disregarding punctuation and spelling because i probably will get most
of that wrong anyway) so the hippies purge their lifes' belongings
(disparage works if you consider someone mocking his or her life
possessions, i have visions of a hippy throwing monty python insults at
his or her cat? he would not have any issue with discarding them eh?)
apart from their yoga mats, climbing shoes, mountain bikes and cats of
course. Hippies on board we sail off into the sunset with our fish
catching cats and knot tying skills and other indispensable tantric
abilities, we head around the world, that's what you do when you get on
"Myot" or "Ouryot" depending on co founders influence on names,
personally i wouldn't go for ninjayot, it would probably get vito'ed so
don't even try. We travel to various countries (not sure which ones
yet, we can spin a globe and go where ever the donkey's tail lands,
providing it's not an inflatable globe, after all we're on a boat with
allknowingallpowerful queen legend, ruler of all apart from benoni an
dsome parts of new zealand's south island, since we're on a baot if
destiny would have us hit the middle of the pacific we can do that too
(i hear they have nice islands there). we shall stop off at countries
that take our fancy and every now and then impart some knowledge and
trade skills (i will cover massage therapy and yoga, we can leave the
reiki to the REAL weird hippies, providing we have not chucked them off
the side of the boat together with the vegans)
we might have to
trade skills for money - it is idealistic to believe everyone will
contribute fairly if we don't have a minor donation for the "kitty" and
besides we need a job for Luke. to appear to have an ultruistic motive
we can pop by the poor schools on our travels and provide some sort of
education, be green, save the planet, global warming is a good one these
days? or we can tell the kids about how cool it is living on a solar
power running boat full of vegetarians who only eat vegetables and drink
soy cappachino's to ensure all natural excretory byproducts to provide
good growth hormones for fish yacht (depending on whose name gets pulled
out of the cycling helmet). if we're short on cash we can drop our
morals a bit and exploit the rich international schools, but then we
might have to make a powerpoint presentation and so far i am finding
this blog thing to be challenging enough!
