Mayhem!
Two posts in a row by the technophobe....what's the world coming to?
I have a proposal for a new mayhem plan.
If you have read our previous posts you'll remember something, titled "I'm just popping out to get some cigarettes" or similar, about our plan for mayhem before we go. Basically the plan was this: because we get to leave everything behind for a year, we reckoned it might be fun to use this to create consequences we can escape from.
We were hopeless at carrying out this plan.
Examples of what we could have done:
find a great job with lots of responsibility, then pop out of the office at the most inopportune of moments....to go around the world
run up huge gambling debts, then leave
form a serious relationship, then just pop out to go to the toilet on the morning of departure...and not come back
Instead what we did was:
keep the jobs we have and are very loyal to (and who have known about the round the world plan since its inception) / not get a job at all
not run up huge gambling debts (though I suppose there's still time)
not form a serious relationship (who were we kidding here - most of us are emotionally retarded anyway) / begin to casually "see" people (hate that phrase but you know what I mean) but still not have the heart to even think about being that horrible to them
But, in a flash of inspiration today I have come up with a new plan...mayhem around the world.
Because, after all, if we pursued mayhem before we go we would still have to face consequences, albeit a year later.
This way, everyone at home will still love us and we get to leave the mayhem behind as we travel.
Ingenius, don't you think?

I like it!
However, if we didn't have the heart to cause mayhem to people we know and love, how the hell are we going to be able to do it to friendly strangers?
There is a window when we'll know them, but not enough to care...
what other reason did you hav eto go around the world? i thought this was the whole point.
Well no, my original plan was to go around the world to spread love & happiness, but after careful consideration I think I'll go with the mayhem plan
Mine was purely mayhem, from day one. Mayhem and food. Food was day two. Spreading love and happiness came in 34th, right after Shark wrestling.
