what if you could have more zero in your life?
Zero hassles. Zero Stress. Zero fights. Zero worries. Zero limits. Zero consequences. Zero parking fines. Zero demands. Zero unhappiness. Zero deadlines. I think too often the fear of these things stop us from living. I know they have me. But why should they? I was afraid to take the afternoon off and do something i wanted to and look what happened... nothing. Well something. My eyes were opened up and i felt alive. Since then every two weeks now i've taken an afternoon off to just recharge my batteries - i've seen movies, gone to bookstores, gone home, sat in a cafe and enjoyed a coffee. I've lived in my own small way. And each time not one bad thing has happened. I've managed to live with zero consequence. I've even got my mate Richard to join me. now he has said the next one we should get more mates along. We all work too hard anyway. We need this time. Ferris Beuller once said "life moves pretty fast and if you don't stop and look around once in a while you might miss it." This is exactly my point. I'm never gonna have another today so why not do something for me.

What the world needs is more zero!
This thought keeps bumping around in my head. Everywhere I turn people are saying they know what the world needs. And it's always something more. Something extra. "We need extra laws to give us peace" "We need extra counseling to help us cope with stress". But I think what the world needs is ZERO. Zero expectations that tell us how we should be when we grow up, or even if we should "grow up". The world needs is Zero expectations. Zero forced responsibility, zero conformity. Zero Shoulds. But right now i need more sleep.

Why not live for a living?
I've always heard about having these lists to do before you die and they always seem to be for people who feel their live is already over, like it's a catch up or a last minute cram for life. But why wait til you feel death approaching before you think you start living? I say do things while you're young. Skydive before you need a hip replacement. Obviously I'm not alone in this train of thought as the web's got heaps of list of things to do before you are 30 online. Google the topic and you'll find heaps. Of course I say take a sick of the cubicle day too. I keep thinking the 20s are my chance to do something. I kinda feel that I'm still able to get away with stuff without being looked down on (too much). But i still feel the stank breath of responsibility and the need to "grow up" baring down on me. But why can't I just say no to all the grow up pressures and live my life?
