Day 1: Prelude

I've decided to leave civilization. There will be no more working the 9 to 5 for me. I've rejected that reality and will substitute me own. Carpe Diem I say, as I walk out of that world. I don't need corporate media, and mass advertising to live.
I need the simple things, a cabin in the woods, and some food. I have my cabin planned. It will be three stories in height, and have a basement. It will take some time, but I consider this to be the bare minimum of my life requirements. After all I'm going to be living in the wilderness. Not like those people in the city who get by with simple apartments.

Alas, it brings the words of poe to my mind.

    Science! true daughter of Old Time thou art!
     Who alterest all things with thy peering eyes.
   Why preyest thou thus upon the poet's heart,
     Vulture, whose wings are dull realities?
   How should he love thee? or how deem thee wise,
     Who wouldst not leave him in his wandering
   To seek for treasure in the jewelled skies,
     Albeit he soared with an undaunted wing?
   Hast thou not dragged Diana from her car?
     And driven the Hamadryad from the wood
   To seek a shelter in some happier star?
     Hast thou not torn the Naiad from her flood,
   The Elfin from the green grass, and from me
   The summer dream beneath the tamarind tree?

-E.A. Poe Science sonnet.
