Lets start a new movement based on the concept of "Maximum Social Happiness." Instead of gaining material wealth, we'll try and gain "spiritual wealth." Our standard of currency will be the smile and our stock exchange will be the friendly gesture. There will be no organization, no rules, and membership will be free. Anyone can join if they learn the Official Motto, "Smile, try to be Happy, and don't bother your neighbors."
The Society's Anthem will be, "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" by Monty Python and the official flower will be the Daisy.
The official bird will be the Coo Coo and there will be no central organization. In fact we won't even take a census, or keep records, because we won't even know who we all are.
So, if you are tired of the same old political movements that promise to make everything better, join the original non-political movement that promises to make nothing better except perhaps your own outlook on life.
So fly the flag of Smiley, enjoy life, take it easy, be tolerant of your neighbors, clean up after yourself, say "Please and Thank you," and above all "Have a Happy Life!"
This is who we are, This is how we choose to travel, This is the life we life. Smiles for everyone and anyone.
Smile : )
I wasn't aware that this blog would be more than just about gear and the ride but i'm glad that it's so much more! I look forward to more posts and insight from the great jazz tomassetti. Before your upcoming trip i'm going to tell you two latin phrases I learned recently that should help you on your trip. One is "fortitudine vincimus", translation "by endurance we conquer." Remember this when the going gets tough. The other one is Excelsior! which means onward and upward. I know you'll have no problem keeping a positive attitude, but it's still a quick reminder to keep going. Best of luck to you on the trip.
