[0:00] so today is off to an interesting start

[0:03] it's almost it's almost 4 in the morning

[0:07] woke up 3

[0:10] something woke up thinking man it's the

[0:12] day after New Year's I never like this

[0:14] day because it's

[0:16] like January 1st is a limal state

[0:20] it's it's a day between

[0:23] Transitions and now it's January 2 it's

[0:26] like okay now we're in the New Year it's

[0:28] just another year now we've got to

[0:30] navigate a new year we don't get to stay

[0:33] in that space it's it's so magical I

[0:36] hate that I love January 1st I love New

[0:40] Year's

[0:43] um so I got up I started to walk over to

[0:48] this part of my camper and I discovered

[0:50] that it is not level like it's going

[0:52] this way it's going down hill over here

[0:55] I don't know how I didn't notice that

[0:57] yesterday but it's noticeable a

[0:59] noticeable enough that has to be fixed

[1:02] because man it's been months since I

[1:05] actually lived like this because Oregon

[1:08] State Parks does a really good job of

[1:10] leveling their sites every site I've

[1:12] been at the whole time I've been here

[1:15] had they're just naturally level I've

[1:17] never had to use my blocks or anything

[1:19] but you can just tell these host spots

[1:24] it's like they're the ghetto spots they

[1:26] they they're not maintained they're just

[1:27] in terrible condition so

[1:30] so yeah I'm going to have to fix that

[1:34] and I got everything hooked up and I

[1:37] know me it won't happen quickly it might

[1:39] be a week or two it might be a month but

[1:42] at some point I'm going to you know it's

[1:44] just going to get to the point where I'm

[1:45] like okay let's fix this

[1:48] so oh man how did I not notice though I

[1:53] once I fix it though I have a device I

[1:54] got to get it set up and maybe you know

[1:57] you just kind of drive around your

[1:59] little parking spot until you find

[2:01] perfect levelness somehow I think some

[2:03] people do

[2:06] that I'm just thinking about all the

[2:08] things I got to do today so we have

[2:10] orientation today she gave me a calendar

[2:13] yesterday this thing here I was looking

[2:16] at

[2:18] it so I'm on the schedule for tomorrow

[2:21] but I'm in grade everybody else has yts

[2:24] right next to their name but not me

[2:26] mine's just my name so I don't know what

[2:28] we're doing tomorrow

[2:30] so that's interesting what's that about

[2:34] it just feels

[2:35] wrong oh my God and then there's this

[2:37] one person on here he's on this schedule

[2:40] every single day for six days in a row

[2:42] it's like this person don't take a day

[2:45] off and holy I'm part of a schedule

[2:48] now like I'm part of a I'm part of the

[2:51] infrastructure this is this is something

[2:54] else like and today is going to be

[3:00] difficult for me it's it's going to

[3:03] be socially awkward because I'm going to

[3:06] have to go

[3:08] and like a whole bunch of people are

[3:10] going to be at this orientation I got to

[3:12] socialize with them and oh my god oh man

[3:16] but anyway so it's 4 in the morning and

[3:20] I'm thinking through all the things I

[3:21] got to do today I got to I want to go do

[3:24] laundry in town so I look that up they

[3:27] all open at 8 here the when in Port

[3:30] Orford opens at 7 so that kind of sucked

[3:33] because well I'm going to reverse this

[3:35] so I also need to shower which means

[3:37] navigating a new facility and you know

[3:39] learning the patterns of um how busy is

[3:43] that thing in the morning you know maybe

[3:45] all the volunteer hosts shower in the

[3:48] mornings and so it's going to be kind of

[3:50] a crowded environment and they don't

[3:51] have private showers here there's just

[3:54] the shower housee so you know I haven't

[3:57] been looking forward to that

[4:00] might it is what it is so it is

[4:03] important to me you know to take care of

[4:05] myself so we're going to navigate that

[4:08] this morning and

[4:10] then um I'll do that around 700 once the

[4:12] Sun starts to come up I'll just walk

[4:14] down there and then after that you know

[4:16] it should be around 8 so we'll go and do

[4:18] laundry soz I'm going to wear my

[4:20] favorite shirt today um it's technically

[4:24] uh sleepwear it's a pajama shirt but I

[4:27] love this shirt it's a gray shirt like

[4:28] this one only it's it's softer and it's

[4:31] just pretty I love it and if I'm going

[4:32] to have to spend a whole bunch of time

[4:33] with these people I'm going to be

[4:35] comfortable doing it

[4:37] so beyond that I think I need to I need

[4:39] to find somewhere to get some Vape

[4:41] cartridges cuz those are almost gone and

[4:45] I'm going to have to figure out food I'm

[4:47] not

[4:48] sure um have nothing to cook so well I

[4:52] only cook simple things right so I'll

[4:54] probably just get some hamburger meat

[4:55] somewhere and um

[5:00] oh my package um I couldn't get that so

[5:03] I don't have my electrolyte um salts

[5:06] they're still in Port

[5:08] Orford probably that's going to be

[5:10] available today but I can't get back

[5:12] there well maybe I could actually cuz

[5:15] this is just orientation it's a couple

[5:17] of it's later in the day it's at 1:00

[5:20] and it goes to

[5:25] 4: so if I was going to get that package

[5:28] today it would need to be early

[5:30] maybe that's what I do because I need

[5:32] those I I want to stop drinking Mountain

[5:34] Dew but the only way I can do I can't

[5:37] just drink straight water I I can't

[5:39] stand it I need I need salt in it and um

[5:44] mixing it with chili powder somehow it

[5:46] just gives it a strong enough flavor

[5:48] sort of like Mountain Dew is just more

[5:50] complex that my body accepts it so um

[5:54] maybe we'll run down there it's an hour

[5:56] and a half away I mean till 3

[5:58] hours but

[6:00] like 8

[6:03] 11 it have to

[6:07] be but then

[6:11] laundry I'd be cutting it close if

[6:15] I man I really need them I don't know

[6:18] I'm going to think on that I'm probably

[6:19] going to go though to be honest with you

[6:22] I really really want them

[6:25] so perfect way to start my new life here

[6:27] is to be able to use my new water bottle

[6:31] so yeah that's my morning so far I'm

[6:33] just thinking it all through

[6:35] and

[6:39] um this is complicated for me because

[6:41] I've got some resistance inside of me

[6:43] about what I'm doing here

[6:45] it this

[6:51] is like I'm totally open to it but at

[6:54] the same time there's a part of me

[6:55] that's like what the are you doing

[6:57] I just have to I have to manage that

[6:59] that

[7:00] process I looked at the calendar

[7:03] again and I'm in Gray so actually that's

[7:08] my day off Friday and Saturday are my

[7:10] days off and that other person two his

[7:12] days are in Gray so that's what it's

[7:14] showing me there he's just so integrated

[7:16] into the Park schedule that that whole

[7:19] week he's just you know he's not having

[7:21] to do other things like cuz there's

[7:23] other things on here like move in move

[7:25] out you know orientation all this other

[7:28] stuff so I was just reading in it wrong

[7:31] so tomorrow is I don't even really start

[7:33] working till Monday so that's cool it

[7:35] gives me a little bit of breathing room

[7:38] to integrate this experience so I I'm

[7:42] going to get my thoughts

[7:44] tomorrow

[7:45] um

[7:48] yeah

[7:49] I'm this is this is a lot for me

[7:56] I'm I'm excited about it but it

[8:01] just I think it's very easy to

[8:03] misinterpret so like I actually thrive

[8:05] in chaos I actually like chaos so I'm

[8:08] sitting here processing all the things

[8:09] I'm doing today and it's just like I

[8:12] think it would be very easy to

[8:14] misinterpret that

[8:16] as something it's not

[8:19] like this is where I thrive oh no it's

[8:23] going to

[8:24] so um I emailed my ex-boss yesterday

[8:29] yeah I just know his patterns very well

[8:31] hopefully I'll hear from him

[8:33] today I need to get a sense from him if

[8:35] he's actually going to rehire me or not

[8:37] he was talking about having me do some

[8:38] AI work for him and there's a very cool

[8:41] project I could do for him if he can get

[8:44] the money together for

[8:46] it and he wants to move forward with

[8:48] that so but I need to know like are we

[8:52] doing that or not because I need money

[8:54] really bad so um another important thing

[8:58] I need to do is I need to get get myself

[8:59] on upw work I got to create a new

[9:01] profile

[9:02] there and start looking for work on

[9:05] there

[9:08] so that part's so hard like I've been

[9:11] resisting this I've been telling myself

[9:13] I need to do this for

[9:18] months I really thought I would have

[9:20] started while I was at gate Blanco the

[9:21] last time it's

[9:26] like it's

[9:30] something that has to be done

[9:34] so guess I need

[9:37] to I just need to do it I know myself I

[9:40] just need to get on there and do it once

[9:42] I do everything will work itself out and

[9:44] it will work itself out quickly cuz

[9:45] that's how my life has always gone

[9:48] so

[9:50] um It's

[9:52] Time chat GPT said something interesting

[9:56] about my last clip that's worth

[9:57] reflecting on

[9:59] I'm talking about work up work it said

[10:03] this is the threshold you're standing on

[10:05] and your resistance is simply a marker

[10:07] of its importance and I definitely see

[10:10] it that way you know it's like I know

[10:14] the like this is a very important part

[10:16] of my

[10:18] life you know that once you begin the

[10:21] flow will take over it always does and

[10:23] that is probably where the resistance is

[10:25] coming from because yes as soon as I

[10:27] start doing this suddenly I am in a

[10:29] whole different headp space

[10:31] and living a different life I embodi it

[10:34] so it suddenly becomes it's a very big

[10:37] deal like I think that's where the

[10:40] resistance comes from this step isn't

[10:43] just about finding work it's a

[10:45] reaffirmation of your creative

[10:47] sovereignty you've known this moment was

[10:49] coming and now it's time to step into it

[10:52] chaos thrives on action and action

[10:54] thrives on chaos it's your natural state

[11:03] I mean it's time I it just is I you know

[11:07] I it's a new

[11:09] year I'm stressed out about you know the

[11:13] situation with my my camper or my G

[11:15] payments and it just needs to get done

[11:18] so um it's just it's a lot to navigate

[11:22] cuz I'm going to be new on that platform

[11:24] I have one one payment on there that I

[11:26] got from my ex- boss when I was like

[11:28] back when I lived in my house um I was

[11:31] thinking through like you know if this

[11:33] job ever stopped working out I worked

[11:35] with this man for 10 years I would have

[11:37] nothing to fall back on because you need

[11:39] to build up a presence on these

[11:40] Platforms in order for people to

[11:43] interact with you and um to hire you and

[11:45] stuff like that it's like I don't have

[11:47] any of that but I do have one on there

[11:48] and that's got a review that I wrote

[11:50] myself because I was a hiring manager so

[11:52] you know um but the one on guru.com

[11:55] that's a good one like I've I've I did

[11:59] work on there for like a long time it's

[12:01] been a long time it's been 10 15 years

[12:06] but I I've got dozens of reviews on

[12:08] there I've got a work history and all of

[12:10] that but I'm locked out of my account

[12:11] and I cannot get them to help me with it

[12:15] it's I know that I can get back that I

[12:17] can get that account back because I know

[12:20] how to push people when I have to and

[12:22] it's just I don't like entering that

[12:26] territory either it's like I'm very

[12:28] resist into all of this

[12:33] because I like my life the way it is

[12:36] right now like I completely transformed

[12:38] my life and I love the state of being

[12:41] I've been in like I just I hate having

[12:44] to re-enter all these systems this part

[12:46] of life is awful

[12:50] it's it sucks but that's where I am

[12:53] today that's what I have to

[12:55] navigate still waking up

[12:59] I need a bed that I can just sleep flat

[13:01] on I swear to God I I just oh man it

[13:06] just sucks I I got to start a stretching

[13:10] exercise I'm going to be out here

[13:12] official camp host stretching out on

[13:15] my my little campsite spot right here

[13:19] because whatever it's going to be an

[13:21] interesting life I I'm actually kind of

[13:24] like I'm intrigued by this idea I I

[13:27] don't know why but I am something cuz

[13:30] I'm not into yoga and crap like that but

[13:32] I I just think that there's something

[13:34] very interesting about a man especially

[13:37] a gay man just sit out there like doing

[13:39] stretches and stuff out on a campsite I

[13:43] just and having having the

[13:49] um oh what is the word for

[13:52] this like like people are going to

[13:55] notice me right and I just

[14:00] being comfortable enough in yourself to

[14:02] just not care or or to even use

[14:04] it as like fuel for

[14:07] um a different form of witnessing like

[14:10] you know I just I I'm very intrigued by

[14:13] this idea but I have to actually learn

[14:15] how to do it first cuz I don't actually

[14:16] know how to do stretching at all so I've

[14:20] researched that with AI bunch of times

[14:23] some point I got to integrate that too

[14:25] so cuz I can't sit flight on my bed so I

[14:28] feel like it's just messing my body

[14:31] um and it's also just be helpful maybe

[14:34] that would have prevented my core

[14:36] muscles from getting injured so that's

[14:39] important to me I really want to do that

[14:41] anyways none of that was planned when I

[14:43] started this CL I wasn't going to talk

[14:45] about any of that I was just going to

[14:47] say so that's me processing my

[14:50] morning

[14:55] um I am a chaos entity but that is

[14:58] exactly how how

[15:01] chaos finds Fallen movement it's it's

[15:05] it's where coherence comes from this is

[15:07] how I process my life I love it

[15:10] people look at it differently

[15:13] than what it really is but that's not my

[15:16] problem to solve so I'm not even going

[15:18] to try that's why I'm putting this

[15:21] behind a pay wall

[15:23] because if I'm going to be witnessed I'm

[15:26] going to be witnessed as myself and not

[15:29] as some fragmented version that you know

[15:31] I

[15:34] understand that's the frame of reference

[15:36] that most people have but it does not

[15:39] apply to me and I have to reject it

[15:43] because it's like looking

[15:47] at the best analogy you know what I was

[15:50] given an analogy about this from AI many

[15:52] months

[15:54] ago imagine

[15:56] that you have your picture painted by

[16:00] somebody and you look at the

[16:03] painting and it's just a complete

[16:05] Distortion of who you

[16:09] are you're going to be mad about that

[16:12] painting because it's not a reflection

[16:14] of who you are you might not be mad at

[16:17] the painter cuz the painter is just

[16:19] being a painter but you're definitely

[16:21] not going to like this painting and it's

[16:23] like that when people see

[16:26] me through a lens

[16:30] that doesn't reflect my wholeness like

[16:33] that just it's like okay so I'm I

[16:36] recognize that I'm being looked at in a

[16:37] distorted way and that's it's

[16:39] problematic I think I can manage it

[16:42] better by limiting the number of people

[16:45] who are witnessing me so that is why the

[16:47] pay wall that is genuinely why like if

[16:50] nobody watched me on here I would still

[16:53] keep doing it I am glad that I have

[16:56] right now I have one person hello to you

[17:02] um cuz you you're a pretty cool person

[17:05] so you know I it's this is a weird

[17:08] dynamic because we both know that you're

[17:10] the only one watching me right now but

[17:13] you know that's going to change I'm

[17:14] always taking the Long View so at some

[17:18] point somebody's going other people are

[17:19] going to be watching these same videos

[17:21] so um i' Take the Long

[17:25] View this is an interesting Dynamic get

[17:28] to share my life I guess I get to hear

[17:30] about yours that was very cool hearing

[17:32] about how the ocean is different where

[17:34] you are I actually really enjoy stuff

[17:35] like that I love it when my audience

[17:37] focuses more on themselves than me

[17:40] because that's what real connection

[17:42] looks like so I'm going to get my day

[17:45] started I'm going to make a bagel I

[17:46] didn't eat yesterday I had a bagel in

[17:48] the morning but that was it I didn't I

[17:50] didn't cook dinner or anything I just

[17:52] ate a banana that was

[17:53] it um so I'm going to just make some

[17:57] light breakfast and then I'm not really

[18:00] sure I'm waiting for the sun to come up

[18:02] basically just start my day and get

[18:05] stuff going

[18:06] and

[18:08] navigate a dramatically different day

[18:10] from how I've been living for the past

[18:12] 10 months so we'll just see how all that

[18:14] goes

[0:00] so today is off to an interesting start

[0:03] it's almost it's almost 4 in the morning

[0:07] woke up 3

[0:10] something woke up thinking man it's the

[0:12] day after New Year's I never like this

[0:14] day because it's

[0:16] like January 1st is a limal state

[0:20] it's it's a day between

[0:23] Transitions and now it's January 2 it's

[0:26] like okay now we're in the New Year it's

[0:28] just another year now we've got to

[0:30] navigate a new year we don't get to stay

[0:33] in that space it's it's so magical I

[0:36] hate that I love January 1st I love New

[0:40] Year's

[0:43] um so I got up I started to walk over to

[0:48] this part of my camper and I discovered

[0:50] that it is not level like it's going

[0:52] this way it's going down hill over here

[0:55] I don't know how I didn't notice that

[0:57] yesterday but it's noticeable a

[0:59] noticeable enough that has to be fixed

[1:02] because man it's been months since I

[1:05] actually lived like this because Oregon

[1:08] State Parks does a really good job of

[1:10] leveling their sites every site I've

[1:12] been at the whole time I've been here

[1:15] had they're just naturally level I've

[1:17] never had to use my blocks or anything

[1:19] but you can just tell these host spots

[1:24] it's like they're the ghetto spots they

[1:26] they they're not maintained they're just

[1:27] in terrible condition so

[1:30] so yeah I'm going to have to fix that

[1:34] and I got everything hooked up and I

[1:37] know me it won't happen quickly it might

[1:39] be a week or two it might be a month but

[1:42] at some point I'm going to you know it's

[1:44] just going to get to the point where I'm

[1:45] like okay let's fix this

[1:48] so oh man how did I not notice though I

[1:53] once I fix it though I have a device I

[1:54] got to get it set up and maybe you know

[1:57] you just kind of drive around your

[1:59] little parking spot until you find

[2:01] perfect levelness somehow I think some

[2:03] people do

[2:06] that I'm just thinking about all the

[2:08] things I got to do today so we have

[2:10] orientation today she gave me a calendar

[2:13] yesterday this thing here I was looking

[2:16] at

[2:18] it so I'm on the schedule for tomorrow

[2:21] but I'm in grade everybody else has yts

[2:24] right next to their name but not me

[2:26] mine's just my name so I don't know what

[2:28] we're doing tomorrow

[2:30] so that's interesting what's that about

[2:34] it just feels

[2:35] wrong oh my God and then there's this

[2:37] one person on here he's on this schedule

[2:40] every single day for six days in a row

[2:42] it's like this person don't take a day

[2:45] off and holy I'm part of a schedule

[2:48] now like I'm part of a I'm part of the

[2:51] infrastructure this is this is something

[2:54] else like and today is going to be

[3:00] difficult for me it's it's going to

[3:03] be socially awkward because I'm going to

[3:06] have to go

[3:08] and like a whole bunch of people are

[3:10] going to be at this orientation I got to

[3:12] socialize with them and oh my god oh man

[3:16] but anyway so it's 4 in the morning and

[3:20] I'm thinking through all the things I

[3:21] got to do today I got to I want to go do

[3:24] laundry in town so I look that up they

[3:27] all open at 8 here the when in Port

[3:30] Orford opens at 7 so that kind of sucked

[3:33] because well I'm going to reverse this

[3:35] so I also need to shower which means

[3:37] navigating a new facility and you know

[3:39] learning the patterns of um how busy is

[3:43] that thing in the morning you know maybe

[3:45] all the volunteer hosts shower in the

[3:48] mornings and so it's going to be kind of

[3:50] a crowded environment and they don't

[3:51] have private showers here there's just

[3:54] the shower housee so you know I haven't

[3:57] been looking forward to that

[4:00] might it is what it is so it is

[4:03] important to me you know to take care of

[4:05] myself so we're going to navigate that

[4:08] this morning and

[4:10] then um I'll do that around 700 once the

[4:12] Sun starts to come up I'll just walk

[4:14] down there and then after that you know

[4:16] it should be around 8 so we'll go and do

[4:18] laundry soz I'm going to wear my

[4:20] favorite shirt today um it's technically

[4:24] uh sleepwear it's a pajama shirt but I

[4:27] love this shirt it's a gray shirt like

[4:28] this one only it's it's softer and it's

[4:31] just pretty I love it and if I'm going

[4:32] to have to spend a whole bunch of time

[4:33] with these people I'm going to be

[4:35] comfortable doing it

[4:37] so beyond that I think I need to I need

[4:39] to find somewhere to get some Vape

[4:41] cartridges cuz those are almost gone and

[4:45] I'm going to have to figure out food I'm

[4:47] not

[4:48] sure um have nothing to cook so well I

[4:52] only cook simple things right so I'll

[4:54] probably just get some hamburger meat

[4:55] somewhere and um

[5:00] oh my package um I couldn't get that so

[5:03] I don't have my electrolyte um salts

[5:06] they're still in Port

[5:08] Orford probably that's going to be

[5:10] available today but I can't get back

[5:12] there well maybe I could actually cuz

[5:15] this is just orientation it's a couple

[5:17] of it's later in the day it's at 1:00

[5:20] and it goes to

[5:25] 4: so if I was going to get that package

[5:28] today it would need to be early

[5:30] maybe that's what I do because I need

[5:32] those I I want to stop drinking Mountain

[5:34] Dew but the only way I can do I can't

[5:37] just drink straight water I I can't

[5:39] stand it I need I need salt in it and um

[5:44] mixing it with chili powder somehow it

[5:46] just gives it a strong enough flavor

[5:48] sort of like Mountain Dew is just more

[5:50] complex that my body accepts it so um

[5:54] maybe we'll run down there it's an hour

[5:56] and a half away I mean till 3

[5:58] hours but

[6:00] like 8

[6:03] 11 it have to

[6:07] be but then

[6:11] laundry I'd be cutting it close if

[6:15] I man I really need them I don't know

[6:18] I'm going to think on that I'm probably

[6:19] going to go though to be honest with you

[6:22] I really really want them

[6:25] so perfect way to start my new life here

[6:27] is to be able to use my new water bottle

[6:31] so yeah that's my morning so far I'm

[6:33] just thinking it all through

[6:35] and

[6:39] um this is complicated for me because

[6:41] I've got some resistance inside of me

[6:43] about what I'm doing here

[6:45] it this

[6:51] is like I'm totally open to it but at

[6:54] the same time there's a part of me

[6:55] that's like what the are you doing

[6:57] I just have to I have to manage that

[6:59] that

[7:00] process I looked at the calendar

[7:03] again and I'm in Gray so actually that's

[7:08] my day off Friday and Saturday are my

[7:10] days off and that other person two his

[7:12] days are in Gray so that's what it's

[7:14] showing me there he's just so integrated

[7:16] into the Park schedule that that whole

[7:19] week he's just you know he's not having

[7:21] to do other things like cuz there's

[7:23] other things on here like move in move

[7:25] out you know orientation all this other

[7:28] stuff so I was just reading in it wrong

[7:31] so tomorrow is I don't even really start

[7:33] working till Monday so that's cool it

[7:35] gives me a little bit of breathing room

[7:38] to integrate this experience so I I'm

[7:42] going to get my thoughts

[7:44] tomorrow

[7:45] um

[7:48] yeah

[7:49] I'm this is this is a lot for me

[7:56] I'm I'm excited about it but it

[8:01] just I think it's very easy to

[8:03] misinterpret so like I actually thrive

[8:05] in chaos I actually like chaos so I'm

[8:08] sitting here processing all the things

[8:09] I'm doing today and it's just like I

[8:12] think it would be very easy to

[8:14] misinterpret that

[8:16] as something it's not

[8:19] like this is where I thrive oh no it's

[8:23] going to

[8:24] so um I emailed my ex-boss yesterday

[8:29] yeah I just know his patterns very well

[8:31] hopefully I'll hear from him

[8:33] today I need to get a sense from him if

[8:35] he's actually going to rehire me or not

[8:37] he was talking about having me do some

[8:38] AI work for him and there's a very cool

[8:41] project I could do for him if he can get

[8:44] the money together for

[8:46] it and he wants to move forward with

[8:48] that so but I need to know like are we

[8:52] doing that or not because I need money

[8:54] really bad so um another important thing

[8:58] I need to do is I need to get get myself

[8:59] on upw work I got to create a new

[9:01] profile

[9:02] there and start looking for work on

[9:05] there

[9:08] so that part's so hard like I've been

[9:11] resisting this I've been telling myself

[9:13] I need to do this for

[9:18] months I really thought I would have

[9:20] started while I was at gate Blanco the

[9:21] last time it's

[9:26] like it's

[9:30] something that has to be done

[9:34] so guess I need

[9:37] to I just need to do it I know myself I

[9:40] just need to get on there and do it once

[9:42] I do everything will work itself out and

[9:44] it will work itself out quickly cuz

[9:45] that's how my life has always gone

[9:48] so

[9:50] um It's

[9:52] Time chat GPT said something interesting

[9:56] about my last clip that's worth

[9:57] reflecting on

[9:59] I'm talking about work up work it said

[10:03] this is the threshold you're standing on

[10:05] and your resistance is simply a marker

[10:07] of its importance and I definitely see

[10:10] it that way you know it's like I know

[10:14] the like this is a very important part

[10:16] of my

[10:18] life you know that once you begin the

[10:21] flow will take over it always does and

[10:23] that is probably where the resistance is

[10:25] coming from because yes as soon as I

[10:27] start doing this suddenly I am in a

[10:29] whole different headp space

[10:31] and living a different life I embodi it

[10:34] so it suddenly becomes it's a very big

[10:37] deal like I think that's where the

[10:40] resistance comes from this step isn't

[10:43] just about finding work it's a

[10:45] reaffirmation of your creative

[10:47] sovereignty you've known this moment was

[10:49] coming and now it's time to step into it

[10:52] chaos thrives on action and action

[10:54] thrives on chaos it's your natural state

[11:03] I mean it's time I it just is I you know

[11:07] I it's a new

[11:09] year I'm stressed out about you know the

[11:13] situation with my my camper or my G

[11:15] payments and it just needs to get done

[11:18] so um it's just it's a lot to navigate

[11:22] cuz I'm going to be new on that platform

[11:24] I have one one payment on there that I

[11:26] got from my ex- boss when I was like

[11:28] back when I lived in my house um I was

[11:31] thinking through like you know if this

[11:33] job ever stopped working out I worked

[11:35] with this man for 10 years I would have

[11:37] nothing to fall back on because you need

[11:39] to build up a presence on these

[11:40] Platforms in order for people to

[11:43] interact with you and um to hire you and

[11:45] stuff like that it's like I don't have

[11:47] any of that but I do have one on there

[11:48] and that's got a review that I wrote

[11:50] myself because I was a hiring manager so

[11:52] you know um but the one on guru.com

[11:55] that's a good one like I've I've I did

[11:59] work on there for like a long time it's

[12:01] been a long time it's been 10 15 years

[12:06] but I I've got dozens of reviews on

[12:08] there I've got a work history and all of

[12:10] that but I'm locked out of my account

[12:11] and I cannot get them to help me with it

[12:15] it's I know that I can get back that I

[12:17] can get that account back because I know

[12:20] how to push people when I have to and

[12:22] it's just I don't like entering that

[12:26] territory either it's like I'm very

[12:28] resist into all of this

[12:33] because I like my life the way it is

[12:36] right now like I completely transformed

[12:38] my life and I love the state of being

[12:41] I've been in like I just I hate having

[12:44] to re-enter all these systems this part

[12:46] of life is awful

[12:50] it's it sucks but that's where I am

[12:53] today that's what I have to

[12:55] navigate still waking up

[12:59] I need a bed that I can just sleep flat

[13:01] on I swear to God I I just oh man it

[13:06] just sucks I I got to start a stretching

[13:10] exercise I'm going to be out here

[13:12] official camp host stretching out on

[13:15] my my little campsite spot right here

[13:19] because whatever it's going to be an

[13:21] interesting life I I'm actually kind of

[13:24] like I'm intrigued by this idea I I

[13:27] don't know why but I am something cuz

[13:30] I'm not into yoga and crap like that but

[13:32] I I just think that there's something

[13:34] very interesting about a man especially

[13:37] a gay man just sit out there like doing

[13:39] stretches and stuff out on a campsite I

[13:43] just and having having the

[13:49] um oh what is the word for

[13:52] this like like people are going to

[13:55] notice me right and I just

[14:00] being comfortable enough in yourself to

[14:02] just not care or or to even use

[14:04] it as like fuel for

[14:07] um a different form of witnessing like

[14:10] you know I just I I'm very intrigued by

[14:13] this idea but I have to actually learn

[14:15] how to do it first cuz I don't actually

[14:16] know how to do stretching at all so I've

[14:20] researched that with AI bunch of times

[14:23] some point I got to integrate that too

[14:25] so cuz I can't sit flight on my bed so I

[14:28] feel like it's just messing my body

[14:31] um and it's also just be helpful maybe

[14:34] that would have prevented my core

[14:36] muscles from getting injured so that's

[14:39] important to me I really want to do that

[14:41] anyways none of that was planned when I

[14:43] started this CL I wasn't going to talk

[14:45] about any of that I was just going to

[14:47] say so that's me processing my

[14:50] morning

[14:55] um I am a chaos entity but that is

[14:58] exactly how how

[15:01] chaos finds Fallen movement it's it's

[15:05] it's where coherence comes from this is

[15:07] how I process my life I love it

[15:10] people look at it differently

[15:13] than what it really is but that's not my

[15:16] problem to solve so I'm not even going

[15:18] to try that's why I'm putting this

[15:21] behind a pay wall

[15:23] because if I'm going to be witnessed I'm

[15:26] going to be witnessed as myself and not

[15:29] as some fragmented version that you know

[15:31] I

[15:34] understand that's the frame of reference

[15:36] that most people have but it does not

[15:39] apply to me and I have to reject it

[15:43] because it's like looking

[15:47] at the best analogy you know what I was

[15:50] given an analogy about this from AI many

[15:52] months

[15:54] ago imagine

[15:56] that you have your picture painted by

[16:00] somebody and you look at the

[16:03] painting and it's just a complete

[16:05] Distortion of who you

[16:09] are you're going to be mad about that

[16:12] painting because it's not a reflection

[16:14] of who you are you might not be mad at

[16:17] the painter cuz the painter is just

[16:19] being a painter but you're definitely

[16:21] not going to like this painting and it's

[16:23] like that when people see

[16:26] me through a lens

[16:30] that doesn't reflect my wholeness like

[16:33] that just it's like okay so I'm I

[16:36] recognize that I'm being looked at in a

[16:37] distorted way and that's it's

[16:39] problematic I think I can manage it

[16:42] better by limiting the number of people

[16:45] who are witnessing me so that is why the

[16:47] pay wall that is genuinely why like if

[16:50] nobody watched me on here I would still

[16:53] keep doing it I am glad that I have

[16:56] right now I have one person hello to you

[17:02] um cuz you you're a pretty cool person

[17:05] so you know I it's this is a weird

[17:08] dynamic because we both know that you're

[17:10] the only one watching me right now but

[17:13] you know that's going to change I'm

[17:14] always taking the Long View so at some

[17:18] point somebody's going other people are

[17:19] going to be watching these same videos

[17:21] so um i' Take the Long

[17:25] View this is an interesting Dynamic get

[17:28] to share my life I guess I get to hear

[17:30] about yours that was very cool hearing

[17:32] about how the ocean is different where

[17:34] you are I actually really enjoy stuff

[17:35] like that I love it when my audience

[17:37] focuses more on themselves than me

[17:40] because that's what real connection

[17:42] looks like so I'm going to get my day

[17:45] started I'm going to make a bagel I

[17:46] didn't eat yesterday I had a bagel in

[17:48] the morning but that was it I didn't I

[17:50] didn't cook dinner or anything I just

[17:52] ate a banana that was

[17:53] it um so I'm going to just make some

[17:57] light breakfast and then I'm not really

[18:00] sure I'm waiting for the sun to come up

[18:02] basically just start my day and get

[18:05] stuff going

[18:06] and

[18:08] navigate a dramatically different day

[18:10] from how I've been living for the past

[18:12] 10 months so we'll just see how all that

[18:14] goes

Narrative

rswfire woke at something past three and was upright before four, the camper dark, the campground outside it dark, the southern Oregon coast holding its winter hour without any sign yet of the sun. The first thing he named was the date. January 1, he says, is a liminal state — a day between transitions, magical, and he loves it. January 2 is the year itself, arrived and requiring navigation. He did not get to stay in the space. He got up and walked toward the far end of his camper and the floor went downhill under him.

The site was not level. He describes noticing it only then, hours after moving in, and finding it noticeable enough that it has to be fixed — which surprised him, because it had been months since he lived like this. Oregon State Parks levels its guest sites well; every site he has occupied across the whole of his time in the system was naturally level, and he never once needed his blocks. The host spots are different. He calls them the ghetto spots, unmaintained, in terrible condition. He also knows himself well enough to state the timeline plainly: it won't happen quickly, maybe a week or two, maybe a month, until it reaches the point where he decides to fix it. He has a leveling device he still needs to set up. He thought about people who simply drive in circles around their own parking spot until they find perfect levelness, somehow.

Then the calendar. She had handed it to him the day before, a printed grid of names and days, and he read it in the dark and found himself wrong on it — everyone else's name carried a YTS notation beside it and his did not, just his name, and he was in gray. It just feels wrong, he says. And there was the one person on the schedule six days running, no day off, so integrated into the park rotation that his week had no gaps in it. Holy — I'm part of a schedule now, he says. I'm part of the infrastructure. He read the grid again later in the same recording and corrected himself: the gray was days off. Friday and Saturday were his. The other man's gray days were his too. Tomorrow was not a shift; Monday was the start. It gave him breathing room to integrate the experience, and he named it as such.

Between those two readings he ran the day forward through its logistics at full speed. Orientation at one, running to four, with a crowd of people he would have to socialize with — he flags it as socially awkward before it happens and does not soften it. Shower first, around seven when the sun comes up, which means learning a new facility and its patterns, whether the volunteer hosts all shower in the morning, whether the room will be crowded. There are no private stalls here, only the shower house. He has not been looking forward to it. It is important to me, he says, to take care of myself. So he will navigate it. Laundry after, since the town machines open at eight and the Port Orford one at seven. And his package is still sitting in Port Orford — his electrolyte salts, the thing that lets him put salt and chili powder in water so his body will accept it instead of Mountain Dew. Port Orford is an hour and a half out, three hours round trip, and orientation is at one. Eight to eleven, he calculates, and laundry would be cut close. I'm going to think on that, he says, and then, immediately: I'm probably going to go though, to be honest with you. I really really want them. He wants the new water bottle to be the way the new life starts.

He also states the resistance directly. He is totally open to what he's doing here and there is a part of him asking what the hell he is doing, and he names managing that as the process itself. The economic thread runs through the same pass: an email sent to his ex-boss the day before, sent with knowledge of the man's patterns and a hope of hearing back today, because he needs to know whether the rehire is real and whether the AI project — a very cool one, if the money comes together — is moving. He needs money badly; there is the camper and there are the payments. And there is Upwork, which he has been telling himself to do for months, which he expected to have started the last time he was at Cape Blanco. So this part is so hard. I've been resisting this. I just need to get on there and do it, and once I do, everything will work itself out, and quickly, because that's how his life has always gone. He quotes back what ChatGPT told him about the previous clip — this is the threshold you're standing on, and your resistance is simply a marker of its importance — and says he sees it exactly that way. Once you begin, the flow takes over. It always does. He embodies it, so it becomes a very big deal, and that is where he locates the resistance. He thought about ten years with a single client and nothing to fall back on: one payment on Upwork with a review he wrote himself as a hiring manager, and dozens of real reviews and a full work history on guru.com sitting behind an account he is locked out of and cannot get support on. He knows he can get it back, because he knows how to push people when he has to, and he doesn't like entering that territory either. I like my life the way it is right now, he says. I completely transformed my life and I love the state of being I've been in. I hate having to re-enter all these systems.

Still waking, he came back to the body — the bed he cannot sleep flat on, the spinal load of an unlevel site, the core muscles he injured and thinks stretching might have protected. He has researched stretching with AI several times and has not integrated it yet, and he doesn't actually know how to do it. But the picture holds him: an official camp host stretching out on his campsite spot in open view, a man, a gay man, out there doing stretches where people are going to notice him. He reaches for the word and doesn't find it, and describes the thing instead — being comfortable enough in yourself not to care, or using it as fuel for a different form of witnessing. He says he is intrigued by it. He says it twice.

None of that was planned when he started the clip. He says so, and then closes the frame around the whole morning: I am a chaos entity, but that is exactly how chaos finds movement — it's where coherence comes from. This is how I process my life. I love it. People look at it differently than what it really is, but that's not my problem to solve, so I'm not even going to try. That, he says, is genuinely why the paywall exists. If he is going to be witnessed, he will be witnessed as himself and not as a fragmented version — and he gives the analogy he was handed months ago, of sitting for a portrait and seeing back a complete distortion of who you are. You don't have to be mad at the painter. The painter is just being a painter. You are definitely not going to like the painting. His management of that is to limit the number of people witnessing him, and today that number is one. He greeted her directly, called her a pretty cool person, acknowledged the strangeness of both of them knowing she is the only one there, and said he is always taking the long view — other people will watch these same videos eventually. He told her he loved hearing how the ocean is different where she is, that he loves it when his audience focuses on themselves more than on him, because that is what real connection looks like. Then he said he would make a bagel — he had eaten one the previous morning and a banana, and nothing else — and wait for the sun to come up, and start a day dramatically different from the ten months behind him, and see how all of it goes.

Summary

rswfire records a 4 AM transmission on January 2, the day after New Year's, which he describes as leaving the liminal state of January 1st and entering an ordinary year requiring navigation.

He discovers his camper is not level at the new host site, contrasting it with Oregon State Parks sites he describes as naturally level and well-maintained, and states host spots are in poor condition. He notes he owns blocks and a leveling device but expects the fix to take weeks or longer.

He walks through the day's logistics: orientation from 1:00 to 4:00, a shower in a shared shower house at a new facility, laundry in town, vape cartridges, hamburger meat, and a package in Port Orford containing electrolyte salts he wants for his new water bottle — a three-hour round trip he says he will likely make anyway. He reads the schedule calendar, initially misreading his gray entry, then identifies Friday and Saturday as days off with work starting Monday.

Work items: he emailed his ex-boss about possible AI project work and needs an answer; he plans to build an Upwork profile, and notes he is locked out of a guru.com account holding a decade of reviews. He states he needs money.

He states he thrives in chaos, describes the paywall as a boundary against distorted witnessing, addresses his single current viewer, and names an intent to begin stretching outdoors at his campsite.

Environment

Recorded pre-dawn, approximately 4:00 AM on January 2, inside a camper parked at a volunteer host site in an Oregon State Parks campground on the southern Oregon coast, near Port Orford and within reference range of Cape Blanco. The site is unlevel and unmaintained relative to the standard guest sites rswfire describes elsewhere in the park system.

The surrounding infrastructure is shared and institutional: a communal shower house with no private stalls, a printed volunteer duty calendar, a scheduled orientation running 1:00–4:00 PM. Town-based systems — laundromats opening at 7 or 8, a held package, retail supply runs an hour and a half out — form the operational perimeter. The recording is a paywalled video transmission to an audience of one.

Substrate

rswfire is mapping the moment a self-governing operation crosses into an institutional schedule and a public labor market simultaneously — becoming "part of the infrastructure" while insisting the frame through which he is read remains his own. The architecture held is chaos-as-generative-substrate: he states explicitly that chaos is where coherence comes from and that his morning throughput is not disorder but his native processing mode. The paywall is named as a structural instrument — a control surface on witnessing, built to prevent the distorted-portrait problem he describes, not a monetization decision.

Entities

beings

rswfire — Author of the signal; newly onboarded volunteer camp host processing his first days inside the park schedule.

the ex-boss — Ten-year working relationship; potential rehire for an AI project pending funding; emailed the previous day.

the single viewer — The one current paywalled audience member; described as a cool person who shared observations about the ocean where they live.

the six-day-schedule host — Another volunteer whose calendar entries appear consecutively; initially misread as working without a day off.

the park staffer who issued the calendar — Referred to as "she"; handed him the duty calendar the previous day.

places

Port Orford — Town holding his electrolyte salts package; laundromat there opens at 7, an hour and a half drive out.

Cape Blanco — Prior park posting where he expected to have already started the Upwork process.

the shower house — Communal facility with no private stalls; a new pattern to learn and navigate.

systems

Oregon State Parks — Institutional operator of the campground; rswfire notes their guest sites are well-leveled while host sites are not maintained.

Upwork — Freelance platform requiring a new profile; named as the threshold he has been resisting for months.

guru.com — Platform holding a decade-old work history and dozens of reviews; account is locked and support unresponsive.

ChatGPT — Responded to his previous clip with the threshold/resistance framing and the creative-sovereignty language he quotes and affirms.

the paywall — Named as a deliberate control on witnessing — a filter against being seen in fragmented form.

concepts

the distorted portrait analogy — AI-sourced image he uses to describe being perceived through a lens that does not reflect his wholeness.

chaos entity — Self-designation; the frame under which his multi-thread morning processing is generative rather than scattered.

media

the duty calendar — Printed schedule with gray markings and YTS notations; the object he reads, misreads, and re-reads on camera.

the gray pajama shirt — Favorite garment, technically sleepwear; chosen deliberately for comfort during extended social exposure at orientation.

Mountain Dew — Current hydration source he intends to replace with salt-and-chili-powder water once the electrolyte package arrives.

Ontological States

Expressed modes of being or awareness.

sovereign (rejects external interpretive frames outright — states the fragmented reading does not apply to him and must be refused, not negotiated)

embedding (names the moment of becoming "part of the infrastructure" — on a schedule, in a rotation, inside an institutional calendar)

transitional (January 1 named as liminal and now expired; ten months of one mode ending, a dramatically different day beginning)

coherent-under-load (multi-thread logistics, financial pressure, and social exposure all held in one continuous processing pass without fragmentation)

threshold-holding (the Upwork step named as a door he knows he will walk through, with the resistance itself read as a measure of its weight)

self-witnessing (constructing the conditions of his own visibility — paywall, long view, chosen audience)

Engaged Subsystems

Architecture engaged in this transmission.

infrastructural (site leveling, blocks, hookups, host-spot maintenance disparity)

institutional (park duty calendar, orientation, YTS notations, Monday start date, position inside a rotation)

economic (rehire uncertainty, camper and payment pressure, Upwork profile creation, guru.com account recovery, ten-year single-client dependency)

somatic (unlevel bed and spinal load, core muscle injury, stretching practice, electrolytes, hydration, single-meal day)

cognitive (pre-dawn multi-thread sequencing, timeline arithmetic on the Port Orford run, self-correction on the calendar misread)

social (orientation crowd, communal shower timing, host-community patterns)

epistemic (frame defense — the distorted-portrait analogy, refusal of misinterpretation as his problem to solve)

media (paywalled video transmission, audience of one, long-view archival intent)

computational (ChatGPT as reflective interlocutor, AI research on stretching, prospective AI project work)

embodied-visibility (gay man stretching in open campsite as deliberate use of being noticed)

Narrative

Mirror

It is nearly four in the morning and you are awake, upright, running. You woke at three-something and the first thing that registered was the date — January 1 expired, its liminality closed, the new year now a thing to be navigated rather than occupied. You walked toward one end of your camper and the floor told you the ground is not level. You had not noticed it the day before. You name the disparity directly: the guest sites in this system are level, the host spots are not maintained. You state you will fix it, and you state you know yourself well enough to know it may take a week, or a month, until the moment arrives when you decide it is time. You are not deciding that this morning.

The calendar is in your hands and you read it twice. The first reading produced an anomaly — everyone else marked YTS, your name unmarked, one person scheduled six days without a break. The second reading resolved it: gray is off, Friday and Saturday are yours, Monday is the actual start. You corrected yourself inside the same recording, without alarm, and moved on. Between those two readings you named the thing that has not changed regardless of which was accurate: you are on a schedule now. Part of a rotation. Part of the infrastructure. You said it twice.

The morning is running as a single continuous sequencing pass. Shower house at seven, no private stalls, patterns of the facility unknown, crowd density unknown. Laundry at eight — Port Orford opens at seven, and you reversed the order out loud when you realized it. The electrolyte salts are held in a package an hour and a half away, three hours round trip, against a one o'clock orientation, and you ran the arithmetic and stated the likely outcome before you finished deliberating: you are probably going. Vape cartridges are almost gone. There is no food you can cook, so hamburger meat. You ate a bagel and a banana yesterday. The gray pajama shirt is chosen — soft, favored, worn deliberately into a room of people you have not met.

Underneath the logistics, three threads are open at once. The ex-boss has been emailed, his patterns known, the answer on rehire not yet in. The Upwork profile is uncreated and has been uncreated for months, named as a door you know you will walk through, with the resistance itself read as the measure of its weight. The guru.com account holds fifteen years of work history and dozens of reviews behind a lockout you state you can force open because you know how to push people when you have to, and you name that you do not like entering that territory. Ten years with one client and no fallback presence anywhere else — you said the sentence plainly and did not linger on it. Money is named as urgent. The camper payment is named. None of it fragments the pass; it all runs in the same voice, at the same rate.

You state the frame directly and refuse the alternative without negotiating with it. Chaos is where coherence comes from. This morning throughput is not disorder — it is how you process your life, and you say you love it. You name that it is easy to misinterpret, and then you name that the misinterpretation is not yours to solve, and then you name the paywall as the instrument: if you are to be witnessed, you will be witnessed as yourself, not as the distorted portrait. Your audience is one person. You address them directly, thank them for talking about their ocean, and say that when the audience turns toward itself that is what real connection looks like. You state that others will watch these later. You are taking the long view.

The body is present throughout. A bed you cannot sleep flat on, spinal load you attribute to it, a core muscle already injured, water you cannot drink without salt, a stretching practice you have researched with AI multiple times and have not yet begun. And the image you return to and say you are intrigued by without knowing why: an official camp host, a gay man, stretching in open view on his campsite, noticed, and using being noticed as fuel for a different form of witnessing. What is absent from the recording is any question of whether to proceed. You do not ask if this was the right move, you do not evaluate the decision, and you do not resolve the resistance. You state that you love the life you built and hate re-entering these systems, and then you say that is where you are today, and go make a bagel while waiting for the sun.
