why?

N95 my life - 031421



Why am i doing this?  Why do I want to fade into the woodwork as just another being that is noticed for the moment, but not worth staying and noticing deeper than that?

Honestly and simply.  I gave away almost all fucks that I care about what unimportant others think of me.  I am, for the most part, a nobody.  If I died tomorrow, it would not be in the news (unless the manner of death was too sensational to pass up).   I will not have an obituary in the paper.

Most of the world, like over 99.9999999999%, are unimportant in the sense of they have no awareness of my existence.  They are very important as individual people deserving agency, justice, equality, and love. But as for me, when I fade away, they have never known of my existence and it is very boastful to think they every would.

So, with that out of the way, why???

I gave up on humanity* (and that country called America) in the past decade and this last year sealed it.  I am thankful we have a new regime to replace the bad old one, but the changes needed are not going to happen.  The environment is fucked.  Social progress and justice are stalled and retreating.   The country and world are so divided and we will be fighting over the dwindling resources.  We are not going to get out of this one.  

I don’t have kids and I am thankful I didn’t whelp any.  I have none I need to worry about for their future.  My nieces are smart and will figure out their future.  I am sad that is will be so fucked up though.  Maybe by really only focusing on what matters, I can help give them resources to get them a bit through life.

I gave up on the world and I don’t mind if it gives up on me.  I am happy to fade into woodwork of life and enjoy my time, try to help in small ways, try to minimize my damage, and love those close to me.

*There are few humans I deeply love and care for, like, or at least respect and appreciate.  I have hope for them, but humanity is worse than a virus.  More on that later.

mi casa sosa (my bland house)

In my quest for obscurity, I need to go beyond my digital footprint and personal appearance.  I must fade into blah my home and physical life.  My abode needs to be as unintrusive as all other parts I strive to turn the volume down to an unnoticeable level. Guiding principles from a prepper site.  Just say no to bright colors and elaborate exterior upgrades to your home. Don’t draw attention to your home or broadcast your level of income. Stay well within the average appearance of the neighborhood. If you drive an expensive or flashy car, park it inside a garage While I can't afford to paint my home yet, and that my partner loves a strong color scheme, I can do a good bit of other things.  Here are my guidelines.   Paint - colors are bold, but many homes in this non-HOA neighborhood are as well.   Inspirational homes in the neighborhood - during the pandemic, I walked the neighborhood for exercise.  I pay attention to what other houses look...

utr - under the radar and being safe invisible.

Last year I was finally able to name one of the types of privileges I live with.  I call it living under the radar (utr) and being safe invisible . I am tall, well over 6 feet and big, over 250 lbs. I am white.  I am upper middle-aged.  I am cis male.  Those characteristics alone make me the picture boy of white male privilege and the patriarchy of America. I first really noticed this 8 years ago walking in Manhattan. I was walking down the sidewalk through one of the infamous sea of humanity scenes we associate with New York.  Ahead of me by forty feet was a woman about 5 feet tall wearing a red coat you could not miss.  I watched her walk through the crowd.  She had to bob, weave, stop, and dash ahead to get around people and avoid collisions. All this while wearing a red coat, you could see three blocks away.   I was wearing a dark grey wool coat and brown pants.  As I walked, I rarely had to move out of the straight line I walked. ...

I am ,n

  Hi.  I am ,n.   I go by other names, but this name is aspirational and inspirational to me.  It is what I am striving to be.  I want to be so common and unnoticeable. This blog is going to have a few purposes. It is for me.  It will be my one last public facing thing on the internet when I am done killing off all my other social media presence. It will be full of my lessons in becoming so inconspicuous that no one pays any attention to me unless I want them to. It will house my rants, ravings, and thoughts on things in my life, mostly around becoming the fog, but some on life experiences and things I like to share.   It might have sex and nudity.  I am striving to take as much of that offline as well, but want one outlet for some of it. I will strive to update and post as I make progress to becoming the unmemorable being that is barely noted and soon forgotten.  I welcome all comments and suggestions on how to do this better.  I will a...
