Reseña del libro "Occupy My Life: A Modern Wayward Epic (en Inglés)"
Occupy My Life is a modern wayward epic that was sparked by the Occupy Movement in 2011, which served as the catalyst to get Mike Porter out of the house, and into the streets. This is the first installment of a new series following the adventures of Mike Wayward Porter, his faithful dog Radar, and all the fantastic folks they encounter along the way. In this Jack Kerouac-esque tale, based on true events, inhibitions are thrown into the winds as Mike carries the spirit of adventure across country for a life-changing, perspective altering experience that pushes the envelope of what we think we know about society and necessity. For those that follow Mike's travels already, now is your chance to see how the spark that ignited a new way of life began. Once purged of nearly all his possessions, he sets sail for adventure. From the tear gas infused streets of Occupy Oakland, to the freezing streets of our nation's capital for Occupy DC, the obstacles encountered along the way set the stage for the triumph of overcoming them. Turn that page as the escapades expand to include the deep south, Texas, Vegas, and wherever it is they are called to along the way while embracing a completely new lifestyle in unfamiliar territory. With no money to his name, intrigue starts to build as the caravan full of first year, rookie travelers, are thrown in headfirst to learn the tricks of the trade laid out by generations of travelers and free spirits before them. Come along as comfort zones are pushed to their limits and rewarded with bountiful cosmic blessings, and synchronicities bestowed by The Universe abound to guide the way! See the transition from a mild-mannered Bay Area salesman working for the man, into the overzealous 24 year old protester with a knack for stirring the pot and throwing a wrench in the gears of a corrupt and unjust system, landing him in hot water and in a few pairs of cuffs along the way. Sparks of recognition start to fly when Mike and his road dawg's are introduced to the counter-culture of hippies, gypsy's, gutter-punks, and train-hoppers as they begin initiation rights to join the ranks of the Dirty Kids Universe. With no regard for typical first world amenities "required" to travel abroad and see the world, it's no holds bar on the open road. So come broaden your horizons as Mike broadens his perspectives, steals some faces, pries open his third eye, and breaks on through to the other side to embrace his new Family in the woods and lovin' everyone along the way! Tune in, drop out, and most importantly, spiral on down the long and winding road that puts into perspective how we view the transient community as a whole. Paved by the path of minimalism and activism, take a ride as the Spiral Caravan guides you through spark that ignited the fire 4 years ago, and has continued to light the way ever since. Creating the rubber-trampin', sign flyin', gas juggin', dumpster divin', drum playin, forest frolickin', face stealin', Nic at Nite lifestyle that embodies the dying dream of true, unadulterated freedom. If you're inspired by these journey's, the author encourages each and every one of you to get off of the couch and into the streets!!!! Spiral Out
