Getting back to Zerp !

Getting back to Zero/Near Life experience:
 
            Well I was watching my favorite movie “ fight club” for about the 100th time and two lines that I never really paid attention to popped up and smacked me in the face.

1)    No fear, No distractions the ability to let what truly doesn’t matter slide
 2)    You just had a near life experience. " think about that one " 
 
For some reason these words just jumped out at me! for the first time after seeing this movie countless times.  What I can tell you that I am about to embark on something unique what it is I really don’t know, but getting back to Zero means to me . I will try to minimize the amount of control that outside influences have on my life. To be honest I really don’t know how to explain it , since this is the first time I am really explaining  this to anyone.
 
Getting back to Zero: to survive on as little technological intrusion as possible
Hence no
Microwave
No TV
Barely any Internet
Eating real food “ no bread, rice, pasta,” that leaves meat, Vegetables  & fruits and Nuts and Raw dairy.
No Shopping for Silly Bullshit. 
Know my self and find those limits and break them even if it breaks  me. " sounds scary " 
Know how to build shit.

Read more, and educate myself instead of the formal stuff that everyone suppose to learn.
I don’t know what I am trying to achieve by doing this, but I feel like everything that has  ever been told to me was something that I had to do and not giving a reason why and we should follow this meaning less little existence till we die,  and  then what ? Nothing!  you are fucking dead and all the chances we had  to do something great in your own terms are vanished. Why? because of  all this intrusion into my fucking life , telling  me what to buy, what to wear , who to love , and that any sign of  being an aggressor is wrong ‘ Fuck them ‘ Getting back to Zero really means to  me creating a space and time when  the earth was the training ground for survival and a edifice for peace.
 
Near-Life experience
Getting as many kick ass experiences as possible on my own terms.
Africa here I come! Your ass is mine.
 
 Gonna leave you with a couple words that still motivate me
 

How many of you know where you want to go? And where you are now? And how to get from here to there? How many will start on the path, but fail? How many will settle for less? The answer to these questions, based on “your own experiences (and common sense)” is that very few know, and very many will settle for less.

Are you even curious?  - Mark Twight
