money is good, don’t misuse it. keep listening to the whistle of the trees and ocean and not the coin jingle. this fund me page gives me a good space for thoughts on the relation of life to money. and for you to support me with gasoline, water, food and wine.

Let’s talk about moneys risk. In my experience, poorness and richness can both be dangerous. Golden pockets draw you heavily down and make you slow. you might even let your fire of passion be weakened by the easing golden piss if you don’t pay close enough attention. golden pockets brought me in contradictory situations. on the side of the road the free plastic coffee or even a jackpot hotel room at times leave me feeling guilty. i can afford these things and others cant and don’t receive. it would be pretentious to dive into moral games now, i had the greatest fun pretending to be poor. existential needs are a serious manner, i’m talking about the spectrum above survival. golden pockets robs the essential realness in your actions – your spicy survival instincts are stuck somewhere in mind games. 

pockets with holes in them are also dangerous in my experience. no money is a two sided coin (excuse that wordplay). Is it the simple fulfilment the dancing coconut drop outs on deserted islands must feel? The awe and awareness our ancestors must have felt in thick djungle forest, unsure about their survival. then deeply satisfied in doing so? Or is it tiring struggle without gaining way towards your destiny? Because money can be the lubricating factor, allowing you to make headway with ease.

Make your decision and don’t tell me, i’m not in great need for money, my parents golden cushion i spent together with little hard work on a clean boat. i will keep it simple, extract what distracts and thru that find beauty. there is no real needs, but i have a wide definition of aesthetic pleasures. it starts with my favourite 2-euro red wine and ends with safety lines and backup sails. i’ll call it aesthetic pleasure, because you have to try really hard to die at sea.

be sure that you’ll fund my aesthetic pleasures, if you decide to send money thru some cables in to my little plastic card. i will get a little dopamine boost, a little comfort and immense gratitude because i will take it as a vote for the values and life i do my best to live and promote. be sure i will work hard for my own needs and feel no guilt drinking your red wine and fishing with your lures. we all gotta help each other. my paypal is brandes.ph@gmail.com.
