write a manifesto

Some of it is already there… ( http://pachanka.org/?redir+manifesto ) The only problem is that it’s been there since im 15. So, yes, changes will be involved. Maybe it’s just a life long thing to do?

I decided to write my manifesto in quotes rather than my own words. Is this ironic?

Most of the principles of good living that I wish to adhere to are embraced by many…others more eloquent than me have written inspiring and uplifting words about life’s truths…

I think it will be fun searching for just the right things said to encapsulate how I want to live. It will be wonderful to collect them together and maybe make a photo project out of it…

This is a long-term goal. The subject will be atheism.

I’ve been trying to fit pieces from a bunch of things together (Vipassana, Landmark, religion, self-help, psychology, philosophy) but I kept getting lost in a couple details. It all sort of came together for me this weekend. Here is my 11 step program for extraordinary living. I submitted a proposal for a manifesto to changethis.com... we’ll see if it gets accepted. If not, I’ll have to find some other way. It would be a fun project. Keep it under 50 pages, publish it on some strange book-making self-publisher, and see what that’s like.

this shall go hand in hand with my goals. i have a basic idea of what i want to accomplish, but i must do more research into constructing a manifesto. anyone want to save the world ?

Writing a personal manifesto…and its so darn confusing because there are so many things I want to do! Using a personal wiki to do it. Helping alittle to organize my thoughts.

It’s being worked on, slowly but surely. I find it very interesting to watch the whole process.
