I am feeling calmness, a caffeine buzz in my head, a well-rested energy buzzing in my arms, a feeling of accomplishment and rightness throughout. This feeling matches Metric playing on the stereo, a finished ice mocha, and a morning without too many urgent tasks on the agenda.
I want to feel this calmness, it’s good, with perhaps a bit more acknowledgment and completion. I want my stress to be behind me, I want to feel like I have nothing to hide from anyone. I will do this by using this calmness and energy to complete a few more things that need to get done. Completeness of one sort or another is only a few more days away. Forward progress of any kind is all I need.
MY STORY
I changed my name from Erik Benson to Buster McLeod on the flip of a coin in September of 2006. I live in Seattle, WA. I'm co-founder of The Robot Co-op (self-help internet startup) and, recently, McLeod Residence (art gallery and club house — learn about membership). I wrote a book called Man Versus Himself. I believe life is art. I believe in doubling down on big living, big loving, big risk, and big change.
I have a manifesto of 12 things you can do to make your life more interesting. They are:
- You must not dilly-dally.
- You must be your word.
- You must have good intentions.
- You must admit to being the maker of meaning.
- You must not feel sorry for yourself.
- You must have a vision that you are striving for.
- You must tie creativity and experimentation with survival.
- You must be the change.
- You must rally others with your vision.
- You must stake your reputation on your better self.
- You must be responsible for your own failure and success.
- You must be comfortable with big failure.
