I live naked and barefooted, very close to Earth and Nature, in an 18-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community (GaiaYoga Gardens), way out in the jungles of Lower Puna, far East Big Island, Hawai'i, and I have for more than 5 years now. Although there are many challenges, I love my life, and I'm immensely grateful to live where and how I do, on my own terms! I would not want to live any other way! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Well, the work on our out-of-commission generator today was unsuccessful, so with the dense clouds and torrential rains, electricity has been out for most of the day, and there won't be any tonight either, so I've been working to get everything on Hive done before the battery on my phone dies.

Given that I don't know if there will be any sun to generate electricity tomorrow morning, I'm writing this post in the evening, instead of tomorrow morning, just to be sure. I could post it tonight, but I've decided to schedule it to be published sometime tomorrow morning. I totally forgot about PeakD's feature of being able to schedule posts, since I never use it, that is until now! So in my more than three years on the Blockchain, this will be my very first scheduled post!

I may also be heading to Hilo with Ano quite early in the morning, to go vote, so even if there were power, I may not have time to write this post, so I'm just doing it now. My goodness am I hoping for some sunny, dry, relaxed, and mellow days, where everything just works and flows!

Because the power was out, and my Qortal node was down, I missed the last payout, which really annoys and frustrates me, but I'll just work with what I've got, and keep moving forward the best I can under the circumstances.

If we get another day tomorrow like it was today, without a functioning generator there will be no power all bloody day. If that does happen, then I have no idea how I'm going to be able to publish my post the day after tomorrow in the morning, or to get my usual daily Hive tasks done. I'm praying for lots of sun!

Since I'm writing this post the day it's describing, I'll just give a quick rundown of my day. After I finished up my afternoon Hive tasks, I left the Flow House at 12:15PM to attend a community meeting that was a mediated conversation between Sooozi and myself, at her request, as we had a bit of a conflict about a week ago that had not been resolved. The meeting went fairly well, though because I barely slept last night, I was utterly exhausted. When the meeting ended, I got my machete and collected a wheelbarrow full of assorted edible foliage for cow-milking food. As soon as I had that done, and even though the weather and light conditions were horrible for photography, I got my umbrella and my phone, and took a good batch of photos for this post, and for the post tomorrow. When I realized that we weren't going to have electricity tonight, I returned to the Flow House early to get as much done on Hive as I possibly could before the Logistics meeting, which I attended, and before my phone died. I worked on Hive through most of it, and after it finished I made my way back to the very dark Flow House to finish up on my notifications, and to write this post. It's now just after 10:15PM, so it's a good time to end this post, so that I can go to bed early, and very hopefully sleep. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until the next iteration of this post the day after tomorrow! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

2024 Life Goals

1.) Heal my broken heart, reignite my heart sun, and embody a solid, healthy masculine, allowing my electric fire to shine bright, no matter what others, especially women, say or do. 

2.) Bring myself and my life back into balance, integration, and wholeness. 

3.) Do regular (naked) integral practices again, alone or with others. 

4.) Dance regularly again.

5.) Work with natural entheogens (mushrooms, ganja, ayahuasca), with punctuated regularity, as a part of my healing process again. 

 6.) Get, and keep, regular deep, integral energy-body-tantric work healing sessions for women flowing again.

7.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again. 

8.) Make my plant nursery beautiful again.

9.) Live as an integral part of a juicy heart-resonant soul tribe community, with deep, coherent mutual and shared passion, purpose, mission, love, warmth, care, sweetness, reverence, respect, aliveness, admiration, excitement, enjoyment, playfulness, work, fun, laughter, attraction, and all-level connections and relationships. 

10.) Make love with the woman, or the women, that I love, every day, as a sacred devotional practice. 

11.) Begin learning relevant coding/programming languages to more fully contribute to the sovereignty-driven technologies where I am active, like Arch Linux, Hive, Qortal, DeSo, and Bastyon.

Hive Titbits

LOLZ reminder

The lolzproject is one of the active projects on HIVE. You can delegate layer-1 ($HIVE) & layer-2 hive tokens and earn $LOLZ daily. Currently, it supports 20 Layer-2 tokens.

We are rewarding delegators with LOLZ tokens equal to 110% of the value of the curation rewards received from their delegation.

Follow @lolzbot & @lolztoken posts to learn about this farming project. The project has a website too (https://lolztoken.com/). Captain Cryptic runs it!

Currently, I delegate 15 different layer-2 tokens. According to the latest report, I got 186 $LOLZ for farming 16 tokens. Based on the last bid, it’s 0.39 HIVE equivalent.

Again, for staking the $LOLZ, we are earning dividends in layer-2 tokens. The 20 different tokens are given as dividends throughout the week (2 or more different tokens per day)!

On Friday: $PEPE, $FUN, $BEATCZ, $CINE, $MEME
On Saturday: $WEED, $LIST
On Sunday: $PGM, $THGAMING, $SPT, $ONEUP
On Monday: $BRK, $BEE, $NEOXAG, $WAIV
On Tuesday: $LEO, $CENT, $PIMP, $SLOTHBUZZ
On Wednesday: $ALIVE, $SME, $HH
On Thursday: $DUNK, $SPORTS

Last 7 days $LOLZ farming rewards: 133+110+130+126+147+150+186=832 $LOLZ (~2.18 $HIVE)


I want to share something I've been excited about lately. It's called LiveGood, and it's all about helping people improve their health, save on daily products, and even create an additional income stream if they're interested.

If you're curious, here is a quick short video that explains it. The best part is that they accept Crypto as a payment option!

Being without electricity sucks!! I can not say it any better than that. I hope your power came back on and you got the generator working for the next time.

You said it, @myjob, I very much agree. Thank you so much! Sadly the generator is still not working, and our system is still acting weird, so power has been going out most night, in the early-morning hours. To say that it's frustrating is an understatement! Hopefully it will all be resolved very soon! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
