'The Happiest Day of My Life'

Wow, this guy really loves his artistic side. What possesses someone to go to such an extreme to almost destroy his life, or at least all of the physical aspects for art?!? I wish that I was bold enough to do something similar, but never quite that extreme. I'm not entirely sure how far I would be willing to let myself go when it comes to something affecting my everyday life so drastically. I guess it is just how you look at it. Is it his only job, his life? For me, right now my whole life is work and school so I guess essentially I do but my whole self into something just in a bit of a different way. I am impressed however and kudos to him! I wish I could have seen this in person, and I think that it is interesting how there were people who were actually taking items away from the piece...are you kidding me?!?! I would be pissed that people were not appreciating that I am laying out all that I have to them and they're taking advantage of that, but this guy expected it. But to have no possessions at all...that is only something I could dream of accomplishing. I think of this in the way of religion and simple living and I wish that I could do something like this to maybe enhance my life and make me appreciate things more, but I don't see that happening in the near future.
