Because of Burning Man I Now...

[Playa Hater]

...am really hard to impress anymore. Our little town had a laser show/lighted christmas parade. Goodness, these guys need some lessons.

lol I feel the same way. I go to events, shows, other festivals throughout the rest of the year. Hardly impressed. None of it compares to...

-Have a Major life goal
-have a poorly chosen pair of googles from china
-posse 7 rigid insulation foam boards

Feeling reconnected to myself and the world in ways I haven't in over a decade.

[kiboy]

Actually believe that humans can gather in large numbers and basically love and respect each other. MINDFUCKINGBLOWING!

[gaminwench]

Carry a water bottle everywhere.
Worship the elements.
Have my goblet, always.
Never MOOP.
Play with fire.
Smile at randoms.
Position myself upwind.
Wear illumination.
Pack lightly, and well.
Dance to the music in my head.
Wear practical shoes, for climbing.
Create.

Thank you, Burning Man.

Have exactly 17 dollars in my savings account.
Have a Playafied truck that smells like Playa whenever I turn on the AC. (I actually like the smell)
Can pack and be ready to leave for a 2 day camping trip in about 10 minutes.
Own more ice chests than all my neighbors, combined.
Don't stress at work nearly as much as I used to before TTITD.

Funny that, it's my happy place when I need reminded that I don't give a fuck.

Yep. Pretty much daily.

[Leo]

No longer wear a watch. I lost my watch on the Playa in 2009 and said hell with it. I have a clock on my phone, my computer, home, truck, and office. Why should I wear a watch? I also returned to creating art after my first burn in 2009.

[Hope-a-Lope]

... know I'm freer than I thought.
... am completely comfortable with strangers.
... watch less TV.
... create far, far more.
... dance as often as possible.
