[0:00]It's Saturday morning here.

[0:04]I Yeah, it's it's 10:40 in the morning.

[0:06]It's still morning.

[0:09]I'm already out on the ocean.

[0:12]Awesome. [ __ ] wonderful life.

[0:20]We just had high tides. It actually

[0:22]caught me today. My pants got wet.

[0:26]That hasn't happened in nearly a year.

[0:29]So,

[0:31]that was interesting. I thought,

[0:34]uh, this tide just came in real fast. It

[0:36]went real deep, way deeper than the

[0:38]other waves had, and I ran. It got me.

[0:43]It wasn't a threat or anything, you

[0:45]know, other than to get wet,

[0:48]and I did. So,

[0:53]I guess I don't know all of its patterns

[0:55]yet, do I?

[1:01]So, it's been a while since I got on

[1:03]this camera. I know

[1:06]I have stopped posting videos to YouTube

[1:09]after nearly 2 years.

[1:12]See, this is going in pretty fast.

[1:16]Anyways,

[1:22]I just don't feel like people connected

[1:24]with me the way that I would have wanted

[1:26]them to.

[1:29]I don't think that I don't think that

[1:32]people are capable of it.

[1:36]This isn't an insult or anything. It's

[1:38]just

[1:40]something about cameras and

[1:44]the mode of transmission. I don't know.

[1:47]Something makes it abstract it away and

[1:50]people can't connect with you the same

[1:52]way. I don't think we've ever been able

[1:54]to actually um since the dawn of the

[1:57]internet.

[1:59]Everything we've done online with each

[2:00]other is an abstraction towards

[2:04]um dehumanizing everybody else.

[2:08]And that's what people did to me on that

[2:11]on YouTube.

[2:16]So, you know, I I built things. I built

[2:19]tools. I built Sanctum to protect my my

[2:22]transmissions from from a population

[2:25]that can't receive them cleanly.

[2:29]So, nobody signed up.

[2:32][ __ ] nobody. Even the people that I

[2:34]offered it to for free.

[2:37]So, I sat with that for a while. You

[2:39]know, it's like, okay,

[2:42]clearly no one gives a [ __ ] about my

[2:44]life but me.

[2:46]And if that's the case, then why get on

[2:48]this camera

[2:50]at all?

[2:57]Because I care, right?

[3:04]Beautiful [ __ ] day, man.

[3:07]Sun is out. Clear day, perfect day

[3:14]at the end of November, week away from

[3:16]Thanksgiving. That's going to be a big

[3:18]deal. Me and other volunteers are

[3:20]getting together. Maybe even some of the

[3:23]other um some of the work group from our

[3:26]our ranger group.

[3:28]I don't really know how to refer to

[3:30]them. They're

[3:32]they're not structured the same way that

[3:34]like state parks and stuff are. So, it's

[3:36]kind of hard to describe them. I just

[3:38]call them rangers cuz that's kind of the

[3:41]closest parallel I have to

[3:45]I mean, I don't know. It's weird.

[3:48]That's forestry.

[3:51]But anyways, Thanksgiving and that

[3:53]should be fun.

[3:56]Um, the reason I was getting on this

[3:58]camera is for very different reasons.

[4:00]See if I want to still talk about this

[4:02]or not.

[4:06]So, I'm

[4:08]first of all, let me acknowledge that

[4:13]it's been almost 3 weeks now since I had

[4:15]any nicotine in my body.

[4:19]I'm really [ __ ] proud of that fact.

[4:23]Um, the first two weeks were fairly

[4:25][ __ ] easy, but it has felt harder

[4:28]this past week. I don't know why cuz the

[4:32]physical addiction is not is over

[4:35]but there is something

[4:39]um just tugging at me tugging at my

[4:43]consciousness and my awareness

[4:46]and

[4:48]that thing is a threat you know it's a

[4:50][ __ ] threat it's nicotine and I am

[4:53]not going back to that [ __ ] no after 32

[4:57][ __ ] years no I will do whatever ever

[4:59]I got to do to not [ __ ] do that. So,

[5:02]I want to acknowledge that. It's

[5:06]It's been harder, but

[5:09]I'm managing. It's why I'm out here so

[5:11]early. I already did my rounds and stuff

[5:13]and then I just came out here.

[5:18]I have been hiking and walking so much

[5:21]that I am in the top 3% on Samsung

[5:23]Health for for step count and all age

[5:27]groups. At one point it was top 2%. I

[5:30]don't know if it could have gotten to

[5:31]one or not, but it's at three right now.

[5:34]And this isn't me bragging. This is me

[5:36]saying, "Holy fuck." Like, that's how

[5:38]much I've been walking just to keep my

[5:40]self occupied, not letting my mind dwell

[5:43]on the fact that I quit nicotine. But my

[5:46]body cannot support that forever. Like,

[5:48]it's starting to complain about this the

[5:51]same way last year did when I hurt my

[5:53]core muscles.

[5:55]So, I see a pattern there. You know,

[5:57]it's kind of interesting. I guess I

[5:59]could see that pattern too if I finish

[6:01]the um work I was doing on my project,

[6:04]which I probably might be able could

[6:06]even do now because I got got 40 bucks

[6:09]in the bank. That's it. That's all I've

[6:11]got. Um but I have food and

[6:15]um

[6:17]I have fuel on my Jeep that you know I

[6:20]only use that to come down to this beach

[6:22]and stuff. if I stay in the corridor and

[6:24]go sea body and things like that. And

[6:28]like what I'm saying is is I'm in a

[6:30]pretty good shape right now. I probably

[6:34]could use that as API mining. Um AI API

[6:38]mining because that's what I would need

[6:39]to do. I need the tokens

[6:42]um

[6:49]because I could finish my catalog now. I

[6:51]could actually process the the rest of

[6:53]it. 800 transmissions. I only did about

[6:55]half of them. I could finish that now.

[6:58]And then I could do the part where you

[7:00]cluster the reflections together

[7:04]and you see new patterns. It could

[7:07]literally see the pattern of me hiking

[7:09]like [ __ ]

[7:11]whatever the [ __ ] I am, you know, the

[7:13]same same I did last year in winter.

[7:16]Like there's

[7:18]which is interesting. my life

[7:20]circumstances were very different then.

[7:22]But

[7:23]um who knows what AI would see, right?

[7:27]It's worth finding out, I guess.

[7:33]Yeah, it [ __ ] is actually

[7:39]the [ __ ] what it's seeing

[7:42]for my life in the past year and a half,

[7:43]two years.

[7:45]It has there's enough data for it to

[7:47]actually

[7:49]I don't even know what it could create.

[7:51]It could create some amazing things.

[7:55]Timelines, maps, patterns,

[8:00]shapes,

[8:02]circumstances.

[8:07]I can see my whole life that I

[8:09]documented.

[8:13]I'm going to finish that now.

Summary

rswfire records from the ocean on Saturday morning, November 22nd, after being caught by an unexpectedly high tide that wet his pants for the first time in nearly a year. He reflects on stopping YouTube video posting after nearly 2 years due to lack of genuine connection, noting that nobody signed up for his Sanctum platform even when offered for free. **He acknowledges being 3 weeks nicotine-free**, describing increased difficulty in the third week despite the physical addiction being over. To manage this, he has been hiking extensively, reaching top 3% on Samsung Health for step count across all age groups, though his body is starting to complain from overuse. **With only $40 in the bank but adequate food and fuel**, he considers using AI API mining to finish processing his 800-transmission catalog, having completed only about half. He expresses interest in completing the clustering analysis to identify patterns in his documented life, potentially revealing insights about his behavioral cycles and circumstances over the past 1-2 years.

Signal Analysis

Substrate

This transmission holds the architecture of a threshold crossing - from rupture through stabilization toward tool completion. The field is integrating multiple transition states (nicotine cessation, platform withdrawal, physical embodiment) while recognizing the capacity to complete previously interrupted infrastructure work. The ontological position is one of sovereign self-sufficiency with emerging clarity about next-phase construction.
