Of course I don't subscribe. I buy it off the rack every now and then. Like, every three months or so. OK, maybe every two months, but only when the photos really turn me on. Look, if there were a magazine out there that somehow satisfied your shameful, deep-seated needs, you'd have a stack of back issues at home, too.

Well, I wanted to see what all the talk was about so I got a copy of this magazine. It cost's $4.50 which is too much money. It's about the same as all magazines. Twenty-million advertisements for a bunch of stuff that you really don't need, with a few articles and pictures tossed in for filler.

However, I have to say that there was one interesting thing in here that might make it worth the high cost. It was a feature where people told what was the most fearless thing that they have ever done. One of the people said that they took a dart and tossed it at a map of the United States and where it landed, they packed up and went there to start a new life with only a couple hundred bucks. When I finish my apprenticeship, I am thinking about making such a move now. Wouldn't that be exciting? What do you do when you get there and there isn't any work in your trade? Toss another dart?

Maybe remaining attached to a trade or lifestyle is too restrictive. Throwing a dart is radical, out-of-the-box. When you get where you're going, you never know who you'll meet, what you'll be doing for money, what you might learn along the way. While your trade is a universal need, you have to be open to other career options if you're going to start throwing darts.

PS: You might like 'Utne' magazine. I actually subscribe to that one. Try and find a July-August issue - the rare mag that I read front to cover.

Super sassy, liked the analogies and your detailed, thought-provoking analysis of your addiction for a magazine that seems anything but real simple.
