Hey slurryguy, now I REALLY feel at home with what you say here. I
have a number of unfinished projects myself I confess, but they were
a lot of fun while my energy was up. I sort of think that nothing is
really wasted even with ideas, so even if I have had to abandon
something it is only because I learned a better way in the process
and started again.
I am beginning to refer to other people as "normal people" because
my ideas and lifestyle are definitely not normal. But who wants
normal anyway? Normal is what people do when they can't be bothered
to consider how much negative impact they are having on others'
lives and environments, instead of planning the positive impact they
COULD have. This is how come I got interested in papercrete in the
first place, and cob.
Of course, I could just fail with my homeless project. There are a
lot of things I seem to be fighting and it is all uphill. But at
least I can say I tried!
Love, Whinnie
