OUR MANIFESTO is the impetus of the A YEAR AT THE WHEEL PROJECT, it is a combination of points from our personal manifestos and the goals of this journey.

- Technology worka for you - you not worka for technology.

- We only have one planet.

- Truth speakers are truth seekers.

- Living paycheck to paycheck ain't living.

- Misdirected intolerance equals ignorance.

- To live is to celebrate, to suffer and to fuck.

- The constitution is not for prostitution.

- Surviving is the slowest form of suicide.

- One should become a person like other people.

- Citizen journalism isn't citizen if it's just fat white guys and computer geeks.

- Creating art is as important to the human animal as eating, sleeping and drinking.

- Seek out alternatives to societal rules, regulations and structure.

Crossroads - We all get there sometimes in life. For us there have been a number of forks in the road over the last few years and they have led to some bumps, some potholes and some downright sinkholes in our plans. We are not complaining, but the whole experience has been a little surreal and now that we are coming out of the fog, we are certainly looking for some answers.

For one, we have become slaves to our computers. We work constantly which means more than a dozen hours a day chained to a chair and a screen. This cannot be healthy - and judging from our fat asses, it is not. We will no longer be atrophied slaves! We will not be addicts to anything - and that includes the computer screen - it does not own us! The computer should be a medium of communication not isolation... the computer should be used for art, not false realities.

Once we got away from our computers and into the "Real World" we noticed allot of the people we knew were struggling financially - Even the ones who were posing like everything was great. That compounded with headlines about skyrocketing foreclosures, rising unemployment, the devaluation of the dollar, and the widening gap between rich and poor, made us feel like something was really wrong.

The thing is though - This is America! The Land of Plenty! Where people come to find the "American Dream" - so just what is the American Dream if most people are only one paycheck from losing everything?

We decided we would not, could not take it anymore, and if this is the downfall of man, the crumbling of our society or the start of a brave new world - why not document it for future generations to learn from.
