It's not a Condo, it's a Hondo! The idea of living in my Honda Civic has really sparked a flame in people.

I've gotten such a reply from people on this idea.

I called my older brother who lives on a farm in Missouri and told him my idea. I could literally hear his eyes rolling in his head. He hates the idea that I live in Hollywood, so he said he thinks I've lived here too long and the pollution has rotted my brain.

He reminded me of the winters we had in Missouri when I was a kid. Then he reminded me of a radio stunt I did when I first was in radio where I and another DJ climbed our radio station tower and sit up there for 24 hours for charity. That was real stupid too! And it was freezing!

Today a friend took me to a friend of his who owns a Honda shop and they had a Civic out there that the seats were out. So I laid down on the floor and while I did fit comfortably, I wasn't really able to turn on my side and curl up. I sleep in a fetal position. I don't suck my thumb though, cause I grind my teeth. This Honda guy thinks it's very possible to make it to sleep in, but he's Chinese and about three feet shorter than I am.

Another Chinese guy there got real excited and they started talking in Chinese, then they explained that that guy could weld an extension onto the hatch to put a tent-like thing that I could pull out and set up. That sounded cool, but I've got so many people telling me what problems I'll run into just with people hassling me while I try and sleep.

Maybe I should just save this idea for a radio stunt and raise money for a charity by living in the car for a short time.

See, this is why I don't post more often, I come up with stupid ideas and then shoot my mouth off and look like an idiot. Maybe my brother is right, he thinks I need help.

Once while visiting his farm, he showed me a storage shed that he bought from the Amish. It was cedar and it was real neat. He said he paid $1500 for it. I told him I could totally live in that. So he just thinks I'm nuts.

I just hate paying rent even when I can afford it. I hate making any kind of payments. I'm always looking for ways to save and recycle.

Thanks for all the help and replies. I haven't totally given up, just may think of another way with all the responses I've received.

My friend Aaron thinks I might be able to find a house or some land and use that as a home as well for my taxes. Suzy Orman always says to live house short and something else, I can't remember...But she thinks you should always be paying on your home as a tax-thing and save your money elsewhere. I guess I don't pay much attention to her since I can't remember what the hell she said. Why did I even bring it up? Do you like her haircut? It's really short. What do you think her sexual preference is? Just wondering. No big deal, just wondering.
