Decision Rendered: I’m Staying
So, it’s now 100% cemented in my mind. This is what my life is about, this is what I’m supposed to do. I strayed from this path once and it nearly killed me. I cannot and will not do it again, just for the temptation of comfort. I’d rather be poor doing what I love than rich and hating myself for giving up. Jesus, I’m scared shitless because I worry what Fundy will do but at the same time I have complete conviction that going to Portland would be a complete betrayal of myself. There’s nothing I want more in the world than to simply use my sense of humor to make the world a better place. It’s the one thing I know I have that others don’t and while I’m still sometimes a chicken shit on stage live, that fear is already dissipating as I force myself to step out in faith.
I’m fucking crying my eyes out as I write this, because I think I really was scared that I’d have to go to Portland and give up on all of this stuff. The truth is, it’s the only time I feel alive and feel special, like I have something that others don’t. The rest of my design and marketing skills and photography skills are nice to have, but they don’t quite serve me in every capacity.
This is who I am. I’m not afraid of my own success, but I’ll have to figure out how it’s all going to work. Help me Tim, you need to get creative and then get inspired. I need you more now than ever, let’s go ahead and make our dreams come true.

Has Tim gone crazy?
I’m ready to let the cat out of the bag. I’ve never been good at tooting my own horn, so I tend to just shut up and go on my way. I also keep quiet when I have a big idea, because I don’t want someone to tell me I can’t do it when I know I can.
One of the things about me, is that I get an idea in my head and then I obsess over it until it happens. Here’s one of my crazy ideas, you don’t have to be 65 and wealthy to enjoy a GREAT lifestyle.
I read a book called The Four Hour Workweek. It’s about how to set your life up so you can travel the world and work for four hours. The title is deceiving, because working for just four hours a week isn’t the best idea in the book. At least, it’s not as easily attainable. However, I did realize how close I was to actually being able to do the other part–traveling the world.
Remember when I started selling off all of my things? I bet you thought I was nuts, probably still do. I continue doing so. I no longer have a car (I know, right!!!). I’m selling off anything I won’t want to store indefinitely. I’m eliminating all of my debt and building up savings. I’ve got the Skymiles saved up. Lastly, I’ve got the freedom with my job to work from anywhere in the world.
I’ve always wanted to live overseas. So now that I know that I can actually pull it off while I’m still young with no kids… wouldn’t I be crazy not to do it?
BUT! There’s a problem, and I can’t get my plane tickets just yet…
