The Anthony Lindsey Sessions Podcast - #095 - Solo Antonio!
Ahoy!December 6th 2015 - ahoy !
disciples of mayhem! Keep moving my people, I have!
It's been a few months and I've been through some shit but I'm currently enjoying a sudden vacation! I was laid off but knew it was coming so I saved and paid bills a few months in advance, when it happened I immediately signed up for uber, but haven't had to start yet, I'm going to relax and live small and really figure out my next move. I've been stressed for years, since my divorce and struggles and dying fiancé, this is the first time I've gotten to breathe and actually control my next move, I have awesome credit and no debt,so I can entertain some ideas and possible avenues of direction.
There have been times in my life where I don't have to work for a few months and I recently stumbled onto a month between jobs and when this happens...you have to lay low, cause: well...
A. You only have a fixed budget, can't pArty with many friends and blow possible extra month of funds.
B. Life is hard and it's hard to plan this, others may resent your sudden vacation and keep it close to the vest.
C. Life costs money, only drive the car for selling stuff for money or to an interview, the car is for work or earning money...but visit family cause you can sit and visit for just gas money and the car is suddenly worth it!
D. Don't flaunt your time cause there are time burglars out there that will waste your sudden vacation, stay home, clean the flat whilst listening to podcasts or books, eat what's in the fridge, create a home theater and catch up on sewing, I got 3 new shirts and 2 pairs of pants whilst watching Nova and sewing my pile of unwearables !
E. Take this limited fleeting time to get to know yourself without distraction, take a day to watch comedy, go on road trip to see a brother, post vague details on Facebook but keep your mystique - don't "let on" that your life is awesome and you are on vacation and enjoying not working, they don't wanna hear it so,they will just warn you about society fears...but you have it figured out, don't attract negativity, keep it to yourself!
F. Have fun, join a golf course in November and drink beers at noon, take time detailing that car you love, invent the next big thing, hike that trail you always drive past, dating is expensive- and no chick wants to date a jobless guy, so don't date!
I hope this helps the kids out there!
I just watched The jam documentary last weekend with friends.
My favorite lyric is What you give is what you get....
Life is a drink and you get drunk when you're young!
If you have a friend with showtime, watch the documentary, it caused me to revert to my 2nd modlihood- pardon the fashion show but I had to, whilst I still have all this hair!
I love that I was a part of that time in America, I love having been then a mod and evolving as a man with mod influence. The youthful energy has always been a part of me my friends, and my attraction to the jam! Long live the ModFather! The jam, style council, Paul Waller! Give a listen!
Haven't podcasted for a while - mystique, juggling a podcast and a need for mystique... can be a pickle - but here's hoping I can see it through. I was depressed largely in part to losing my mystique - I'll still post on fb - but only positive- good-time-Tony stuff, got back my mystique and I feel better, I stopped digging on Facebook and don't miss it.
I have always staged myself for the world like an actor in a dressing room. I got lost in social media and exposed too much, I'm happiest maintaining a bit of mystique. So if I keep some details out, play it close to the vest, it's for the best!
And now, if I click on the feed...and If I find myself digging I stop, allow myself to "like" 2 posts and close the app. But now it's rare that I have to even do that. I still like fb. I was abusing it, and was too new to it to really see any problem I'd have with it. After posting some real personal struggles - I found it hard to shake the image in real life, fellow man (all women) started to see me(treat me) as a kid or struggling. Now I'm mysterious but I am doing well, feeling like me-old-self and a man again. I am currently surviving on my own and having the time of my life! I'm loving life being alone, hanging with a few friends and enjoying every day!
I got to help Todd on the farm - it was fun to give each other shit and work on a project with a childhood friend! I've seen him a lot since the layoff !
Catch up
The year in review, December 4th was 2days ago, it's the 2 year anniversary of my attack, I have put distance from that incident and have a car and am much wiser now,
last Xmas, snowboarding, the time off cost me months of catching up financially - but family helps, struggled at apple part time until kîva - worked 7days a week for a month at 2 part time jobs...
then opportunity of full time- which was step one of my simple plan to get outta tax debt and financial turmoil. Being alone with a strict tiny budget allows me to get ahead fast!
, left apple on awesome terms and now working full time with weekends off! And plenty of overtime and scrimping I was able to complete my one-year-bill-payoff plan in 90 days!
Try it - think of a one year plan...now think about how to complete it in 90 days! It's a fun mental exercise and if you can do it, you feel like you can do anything!
Having done that, And saved a penny or 2, I realized The job turned sour, when that happens and you have worked for nearly 30 years and can see it, you have to ask yourself, how long can actually last now. so I scrimped, saved and saved until they laid me off. I could see it coming and let it happen. Fuck them, Now I'm free spending a month reflecting as I set my sights on an apple corporate position - I may drive for UberWineNapa if I feel that I need to. Spending time with family is priority one...and doing me some good too.
But the Best thing...is the time I get to spend alone! I'm falling back on my "cannabis consulting" and savings to get by and watching many movies and eating right and doing stuff alone. Being alone is a cost effective way of life, and I love it. I honestly look at couples and think "how exhausting!" Narrating your every move. My neighbors, all they do is blather to each other their every thought, shut up! I barely say a word unless in an interview or visiting friends and playing golf!
I'm trying to avoid being a manic crazy nut these days. I got laid off, to feel good I'd hit balls after morning job hunt...so I joined the Tilden golf course and hit 200-400 balls everyday for a week, then shot 15 holes before I hurt my ribs - adrenalin kicked in some didn't feel it until 2 days later, now 2 weeks later I feel better but not so manic about it, I played yesterday in hiking boots and after proper rest and rested today and I am strong as ever! I have learned to only hit 2 buckets max, and never after the day after playing a round! My ribs healed in 2 weeks - this happened by resting, eating cannabis edibles and binge watching Jessica Jones, Master of None, and Garfunkle and Oates on Netflix! Krysten Ritter what a vision of gorgeousness!
Mod eration
When the last job went south...I learned I need my own business and schedule I was a bit lost but I know what I'm doing again. I needed time to figure out how to relax let myself get back some semblance of mystique- now I can pepper back in my podcast artist self.
I'm happy in that I'm not depressed, or manic about anything, and when I feel it coming on...I can stop it now. It feels good to do things for people...I focus on that.
My secret is... That I give myself "things to look forward to" and simple projects to complete.
I focus on my diet and excercise and keep on my meds (cannabis concentrates, cold water hash) I have podcasts on in the back ground so my thoughts don't consume me, music only makes me reflect or remember and bums me out. It only takes 3 songs to make me cry so I stay away from music, and use it when I'm hitting balls to keep time or hiking, where it helps.
This month or 3 is nice to get some podcasts listening in, I'm planning to build a tiny house on wheels next summer,
I'll keep most info close to the vest but mystique-wise...but I'm currently in the process of working for Apple Corporate, in my plan to save 10k by next summer! Always have a plan, and love it when a plan comes together!
If I get it, I'll be doing what I love for a big pay check, and no blue shirt, my own clothes!
It will be good for me, it's full time and my own terms, a man's terms. I got it through insider info and leaving on good terms got me a sweet gig. The Urban Merit Badge lesson...Never burn bridges! Just call me Nash Bridges, this won't be the first time I've gone back to a former employer, I hope it works out.
Here is my crowdfunding plan: I'm at a crossroads, I'm sick of paying rent in the Bay Area, laid off again, and still to frightened to uber, so here is my plan:
Please donate to my idea.
I'm planning on building a tiny house on wheels!
obtaining all the materials and putting it together myself.
I've done the research I can do this by summer 2016.
Then using it as a mobile classroom, I'll teach others how to build one. Travel to the Tiny Home summer camps and teaching seminars. In my research, It seems like as soon as you build one, people find you and you get a bit of fame out of it, I can handle that.
I'll podcast more with tiny house updates!
Housing, Job sitch, Poverty, Only reason I still live here is divorce and distraction.
My divorce five years ago killed my plans on getting a house for the down payment, the savings we had, we lived on after we split. Staying in a rent controlled apartment that needs work, is the only reason I survived during my poverty period at Apple Inc. Part time prison!
and my fiancé dying of cancer 2 years ago sort of killed of my future marriage plans and moving to Japan...so, I need this.
I'm perfectly fine now, and I love living by myself and being alone.
Career is not doing it for me either. I'm sick of applying for jobs, I need my own business.
46 years old and I want my own house free of stupid neighbors and their couple narration of their lives and parking fucking bullshit. There is a guy living in his van on my block for 2+ years, and 5th ave in Oakland, behind Laney College...is line with people living in cars and Winnebago style vans.
Let's face it. The only Way I'll have a house of my own in the east bay,
is through "careful husbandry."
I'm so lost and grasping for anything, I was going to start a delivery service outta spite! Online shirt business...
I actually registered domain name ... Website called ... Hoody Wearlson!
Can't sublet ! Evicted! I could - but I don't want to put any money into this place. Fine for me, but if I left they would fix a few things and double the rent.
My deal is ok for now but for how long? Month to month ! Landlords will probably want to renovate next summer, gentrification is pushing me out soon I fear.
Jobs and renting are depressing to me, I am excited to focus on this! I'm too old to take shit from a manager. Be low person on the totem pole.
I have done a ton of research and I have decided to build my own tiny house on wheels!
to park on my land wherever that maybe I'm gonna build a house first and worry about getting land or place to park it, later. I plan to work on this to be finished by the summer 2016!
My plan is to build a tiny house on wheels, film the process and YouTube the whole thing, live in it and teach others how to do it through future YouTube video, websites and workshops!
This is why decided to do this crowdfunding campaign!
I need a small amount of funds to get:
8x20 trailer - this is the foundation of the tiny home on wheels. Used trailers can have been overloaded in past unknowingly...or have problems such as bent axle or frames - I've seen YouTube video of this. I'll need a new one with new tires.
Lumber, the floor, walls, loft, roof, good reclaimed lumber!
Solar panels and kits, I plan to be off the grid as much as I can, or when I have to.
Plumbing Kitchen & bath appliances.
I'm building a functional home to live in, I'll want to bathe and relieve myself. Sit, make food, etc.
Rent on build space, I need a safe space to build it and store my supplies, a teardrop lockable trailer will keep tools and supplies tidy on the farm I found to build it on, I'll need to pay them a small monthly fee.
Eventually I will need some land of my own, I'll use any leftover funds ( if any ) for a down payment on some rural, woodsy land!
YouTube videos, using all my apple devices, I'll document the entire process, with a website.
To teach others and show how I am doing it.
I am excited to Building a tiny house!
$10 - $2000 with Free access to all my seminars and knowledge. - On Deck Circle. Soon as I'm finished with my Tiny House...you are ON DECK as I will help you NEXT build your Tiny House On wheels.
Plan is to build the house by 2016 summer, purchase land in a rural Bay Area community where I can park my car and Drive my tiny house onto it and possibly rent space on my property to another tiny house tenant.
Please help me to secure my future in California.
I'd like to be living in it by summer 2016!
Stay tuned for more info and thanks For listening and please donate! Thank you!Seriously though, I plan to launch a crowdfunding campaign to fund my tiny house on wheels build! Stay tuned to find out more !
In touch with Greg a few times! Gcp is a Friend of the podcaster and I hope he is doing well since his father passed away! I was unable to get time off to visit and I'll not let myself get in that bind again! I'm stoked for his new band! I was dealing with my own stuff during his thing and couldn't make it down for the service, now I'm in a better position to handle a friend emergency and I learned that I needed to step up my game, car research and now I'm a man with a car that can travel to help a friend of he wants to.
Apologies Greg...but I learned a lot and I'm a better man now. I'll see you soon for holidays and we can do a pod catch !
