I gotta say, I am more than a little tempted to jump on the "free goon labor" bandwagon. I've got no technical experience in anything, and have never been to Hawaii, and also I grew up in the midwest and have never actually encountered jungle before. But I'm enthusiastic! Really, if you did organize some kind of event, you could probably recruit a fair number of people willing to do a lot of old fashioned brute manual labor for food and a place to stay.

Alrighty, based upon the strong desire of some people to come help and the fact that I need it, I'm going to offer the following:
A. The first two people who are willing to come help will be paid $500.00 per month at the rate of $125.00 per week. B. Food or a food stipend will be provided. C. I will provide a place to stay, but it may not be all that nice. I do guarantee you won't get rained on and you'll be protected from mosquitoes. Beyond that, I'm not sure yet. It will not be a little tent on the land though, don't worry. D. YOU must pay your airfare. I can pick you up at the airport (Hilo would be preferred, but Kona is acceptable if it's a lot cheaper/easier for you). E. I will ask you to sign a liability waiver since this is dangerous work. F. I will ask that you work 5 days a week, for an average of about 6 hours per day. What I mean by that is some days maybe 4 hours, some days 8 hours depending on how we feel and what we're doing. The other two days you're welcome to do whatever you want. G. I would prefer that you stay for at least 2 weeks, I'm open to max duration. H. You may or may not have internet access. I'm not sure. I use mobile broadband. Things to keep in mind: a. Your romantic thoughts about Hawaii and working in the rainforest are probably wrong. b. This is HARD work. c. If you don't like rain, don't come. Because we will work in it otherwise we'll never be working. d. There are bugs. Lots. They don't bother me, but they may bother you. e. You will get hurt. Hopefully this is only a branch to the face or some minor cuts. But I promise you, you will get hurt. Probably every day. f. I will NOT pay anyone in the future. So if you really want to do this but think you'll wait for another time when I pay, you're going to be out of luck. Seize the day. g. Initial work is going to be exploring the land and cutting trails. We'll also be doing a lot of brainstorming, research, and planning. If you're still interested after reading all of the above, please email me at david@yogatopia.org or PM me answers to the following: 1. Why do you want to fly to some actively volcanic speck in the middle of the pacific and help some guy you've never met? 2. Do you have any special skills or knowledge that may be beneficial to this project? 3. Any health issues, allergies, or disabilities I should know about? 4. When would you be available to arrive? And how long would you anticipate staying? 5. Do you have rubber boots, rain gear, cold weather gear (it can get cold here at night) and warm tropic gear? 6. Anything you want to add? I'll accept applications until I choose two people. Thanks ---------------- |

I’m a woman and I’m fat.
After you stop gasping in horror, grow the fark up and deal with it. You don’t buy my food, my clothes, nor do you fill my car with gas so piss on your self-righteous indignation. I pay for my own health care so stop trying to blame me for your rising insurance premiums. I’m tired of hearing your false platitudes about how I should lose weight for my health. Stop ASSuming I don’t eat healthy food and exercise just because I’m fat. While you’re at it, stop ASSuming thin people are always healthy too. If you don’t like the way I look stop whining; do the adult thing and simply look away. Contrary to what you’ve been told, I don’t have an unspoken obligation to please your eyes. And for your information I bathe at least once a day during the Winter, and twice a day during the Summer so stop curling your nose up. The only thing that stinks around here is your putrid attitude. Screwing your face up like that only makes me look even better because baring your teeth in disgust makes you look like a rabid hairless chihuahua. No, I don’t hate skinny biatches. All true biatches are worthy of respect. It’s superficial skinny coonts I can’t stand, right along side superficial fat farks. Just because I’m fat doesn’t mean I have to listen to you whine about your eating disorder to prove I am not prejudiced against thin people. I have my own eating habits to keep in check without being burdened by someone else’s deliberate food fark ups. I’m fat, not a professional sympathizer for the self-labeled “pretty people” who throw up, starve, snort coke, or do whatever stupid things to stay thin. I’m not anti-thin, I’m anti-enabling people to act stupid without criticism.

Ugh, I would actually be completely gung-ho about doing this if not for my wife and kids. I actually think my wife would be totally for it but we have an 8 year old and a 10 month old baby. We did our honeymoon on Kona and loved it, really never wanted to leave.

Just over the hill I came to my first abandoned vehicle. There’s a LOT of vehicles like this all over the jungles of Hawaii. Maybe one of you can sleep in it when you come to visit?

Just bought an empty lot in St. Louis (south), am thinking of turning it into an super-badass arcade where YOU are Player 1....literally. Does anyone know how to put people in a bideo game, if you come live in my empty lot I will give you a tarp and five ($5.00) dollars a month

Built my first Badass Thing... An Olde Style Outhouse :iamafag: I carved the moon in it and everything but I got a lot of splinters and my hand is turning green. Are there any goons w/ first aid experience? I will pay you a food stipend to live in my jungle and give me antibiotics.

REAlly interested in living in a yard full of huge weeds for four weeks and never seeing the ocean until I get so depressed that I beg my parents to paypal me enoguh money to fly back to America. But one question: when I get seriously injured almost immediately, and vomit on my own protruding stomach due to the shock and pain, do you have anything valuable that I could fall onto and break? Just want to know in advance how lovely I'll be able to make both of are lifes.

the guy flying in says:
That's awesome! I'm now slightly worried I won't be able to live up to your standards of carpentry- however I was talking to a friend of mine who lives in Nova Scotia about the project and he is very interested in coming and much handier than me. He's sending you a message on Facebook (his name is Thomas). And kiln?! KILN?!?! I'll have you know my highest level of education, pitiful as it may be, is in ceramics. It has been over a year since I've touched any clay though. ---------------- |

1- This goonteer is especially excited because her adventure starts on the 14th
 (although I'm not out in Hawaii until the 29th). Unfortunately, due to the size (or lack there of) of my suitcase, I may have to buy some equipment or extra footwear in the second hand shops of Hilo. I can't take a bigger case because I just don't have the strength to lug it up and down the steps of the Tokyo transit system. The other option is to ship some of it out to you now and ship it back before I leave, which I am more than happy to do (e.g if you get some leopard print wellies in the post, they are mine so try to resist wearing them).2- Thank crap. I don't want nightmares about things nibbling my toes. 3- Can you leave out the brain? I've heard nothing but bad things about feeding brains to animals (grew up with the BSE scare). Just chuck the heads in a big ol' pile beneath the WELCOME sign. |
