What's Credit?

I remember one time in my life, a long long time ago (in a land far far away...ok ok not really) I had a hope, a glimmer of possibility for the future. And then I went to college and got my first credit card, and within six months that dream was gone. I've never been able to recover from that bad credit incident, and it's been living paycheck to paycheck ever since.

Why do I tell you this? Because today I was thinking about credit, and how nice it would be right now if I had a credit card, I may be a little more able to get something off the ground here, something started, even if that is moving (again) to somewhere friendlier than CT. There, yes, I said it. CT is NOT a friendly place. It is a cold hard selfish materialistic place where people stare at you and then give you the finger for looking back at them (*disclaimer This not apply to any of my friends, for I do not hang out very long with dickish people, so y'all are safe, I'm not talking about you right now...I'm talking about Fairfield County).

We have come to live in this world driven strictly by economics, where human isn't human and the other half is unwelcome or driven under the bridge for shelter, left begging for food because the school system sucks and fucking NO ONE is willing to do what it takes to fix it, any of it, for fear they won;t get elected again next year. We rely on things like credit and capital to get us through, 'It takes money to make money' is as true now as ever was. And that pot is shrinking, or stagnant with many (MANY... see any article on 'the current state of entrepreneurialism' in Amerika for reference if you want a piece a this) hands trying to get in the pot.

Just some thoughts to get out of my head, and write my way to mental clarity. It helps, as I have SO much to do with starting this company and finding a job and looking for freelance work and  just living. OK, time to go carve out my section of the pie, time to get my piece.

I'm so deep in it right now I kind of forget where I'm going, what I'm doing, or who I am (even, sometimes, OK I went overboard there god leave me alone).
I had a vision once. Then execution happened. Then like the Biblical flood waters it receded, was gone. WTF. Where am I headed? Why am I doing this? (did I say that already...?)

Oh yeah, I remember. To make the world a better place. That's why.

I can't even begin to tell you all the fucked up I see in the world, every day. And since I basically refuse (unconsciously or not SHUT UP) to contribute to a broken system, or to do work that DOES NOT MATTER (refuse to do that is) then here I am, left to pick up the crumbs of this broken system as they fall from that metaphorical table of the ruling elite that is our (America's) oligarchic farcical reality show of a sitcom called 'Politiks'.

And so I'm a multipassionate creative entrepreneur. I do stuff that other people find impossible, in order to kick loose the reality of what I think our world should look like.

To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”

That is my motto. That is my core. That is my mission.

I REALLY want to make urban systems of food waste and energy more sustainable, greener, closer to the ground, and communities more resilient. I want to close loops and divert waste and reuse materials for other things, and all that sexy stuff. I want to grow food in innovative ways in unconventional places. I want to build community, through providing opportunity of increasing interaction between humans and humans, and humans and nature, particularly in the urban setting. I want to create art, and music, and use the fuck out of technology to make our environment, our work, our life, a game of the funnest degree.

 My company is called Kensho SEED, and we provide opportunity through developing green technology infrastructure, and creating a world of opportunity for global urban populations by acting locally first.
