Vanning Ain't No Joke Magazine Issue 1 Sept/Oct 2019

It’s the same thing now but
through social media.
Many people are living their dreams,
but even more are not. Watching the
lives of others...living through their
adventure...working towards an endless
means. I mean…once you are in
debt, you are screwed and once out
of debt, put yourself in more debt.
Why I'm Quitting
Corporate Life
It’s a never-ending cycle that forces
you to work until 60, 70...or...your entire life.
This really sucks if you don’t like your job.
Feature Story
for Good.

Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Toy Story all have one thing in
common. Okay, maybe two (now, they’re all owned by Disney).
For me, it was about the adventure. I grew up watching and
admiring the likes of Luke Sky Walker and Buzz Lightyear.
Indiana Jones was my favorite. A real life adventurer!
Now I see how funny it is. My whole life, I’ve been viewing
reality through 2 different lenses. Out of one, I see a movie
screen of sorts. Some of the biggest excitement, for me,
lived through the experience of Indiana and those other adventurous
heroes played out on a screen.
You sit behind a desk, labor behind machinery, stand behind a
counter…One day it hits you…maybe it’s when the back gives
out, a near-death experience, trauma…CRACK! The reality hits.
You realize how much time you’ve spent doing so little with your
life. Lack of experience (real ones), lack of substance, lack
of everything that makes life worth living…your time, close to
half of it, working to help someone else achieve their dreams.
I’m not saying this is the case for everyone, but it is for me.
