Hey there,
My name is Ben, and I’m running this GoFundMe because I’m the sickest person you know. Pretty much, I go around doing sick shit with sick people, and it’s pretty hard to hold down a job when you’re this ill. And this is great, because while you’re just sitting there dying at your “career,” or whatever, you can live vicariously through me while I go to Thailand and pretend I know how to surf.
I was going to do a Patreon thing, you know, for the blog, but then I realized that I would actually have to blog, and sometimes I’m just not really feeling it, you know? You can’t force art. So mostly I’ll throw up some photos on Instagram, and if you throw me some free gear I’ll tag you in the post. I’ve got, like, literally, hundreds, of followers, and they really think I’m rad.
So basically what happened was that I’ve never really done this before but my boy Pippo just got this van and we’re going to go blow up #vanlife in BC and rip trail. It’s going to be sick. You can’t go (job, remember?), but I really want to. So throw me a few bucks and I’ll go in your place.
Incidentally, I also live in the only industrialized country on earth where people regularly go bankrupt from medical bills, so it’s pretty likely that at some point I’ll have one of these things for hospital bills, too. Probably we should get a start on that.
Mahalo, or namaste, or whatever.
