Needish

Micro-investors on their way? Are they? I don?t know. So they say. Or should I rather say, so does my Chilean partner say? My Chilean partner is also called ?el loco?, which means ?crazy dude? or possibly abalone (sort of clam), depending on the context. Mistaking a dude for a clam in Chile would be a far worse offence than calling someone for crazy? so I guess crazy is the word. Crazy, anyway, has gradually evolved into a state of preference along with the cultural contribution of Britney Spears and other modern artists. So, my loco partner Daniel is, I guess he is crazy then, hopefully so in a cool way.

Most of all I hope the funds are really on their way. It would be a boost to Needish SA. Like a Brazilian buttlift (a very small such on a very skinny goat-like butt, but still!)

Today I welcome myself back to work in Sweden and it?s not that bad. I have a great job. If I could be happy with a job in Sweden, I would be more than happy with my current position. There are many reasons for me to spend my precious time and my even more precious savings from last year (first non-student year, i.e. first adult year ever) on this project. Money is definitely not one of them. I am a gambler. Have always spent money on Poker, Casinos etc. Not a lot, but enough to call me a gambler. If I were ?init? for the money I would be out of it by noon. This is money I can loose. In fact, it is already considered lost. The risk is well worth the investment considering the upside. That?s my honest believe and what I tell all investors we meet but I wouldn?t spend my children?s trust fund doing this. Major reasons so far are, in falling order:

1) Independency: For me the difference between independency and happiness is merely idiomatical. I know it?s probably not true, and maybe even the other way around. Independency, and with that freedom, might be what a troubled mind don?t need. But I don?t care. I have never been smart when caring for myself. I travel the world and I would like to do so forever. I sometimes sleep for 15 hours and I would like to be able to do so without asking anyone. I don?t mind working a lot, in fact almost 24/7, but I don?t want to report to anyone. Dreams of independency is what keeps me going when I spend my time.

2) The challenge: Can we pull this off? I think so. Wouldn?t it be the greatest satisfaction? What a feeling!

3) The up-side to the down-side: Someone told me that you have to fall before you can learn how to fly. If this project becomes a great failure, to my tremendous deception, I think good things will come out of it still. There are many ways to loose a game. We could end up being bought for the brand and the competence. We could end up becoming something completely different than what we originally thought. I am positive that everyone involved in this project (be it emotionally or financially or ? even better ? a combination) will sit back in 5 years and feel that they made the right decision.
