Good question. Noone that I know gives a shit about programming or hacking and the music I record is pretty much misunderstood, so I'm not sure really what gets me out of bed. Just hard headed I guess.
This is something I've been pondering. Last year almost drove me into the ground, yet I'm still here. Another poster commented mortgage. That was my sole driver for several years. But I hated my job, city, etc. I decided to declare bankruptcy to remove that from the equation.
What keeps you going....?
Memories, knowledge and connection. Memories forged with people or solo, by adventures I live. Knowledge learning new things, creating, doing. Connecting with people hearing their stories. I do as I do, not for others but for me. I love hearing others story's, sharing adventures. But when I step out each day, I frankly don't give a shit what others think.
What are you grateful for?
I'm grateful that I wake up every morning. That although I'm not the healthiest I can still function. My will power to push through. My insatiable curiosity.The people in my life, etc. The experiences I've lived good and bad. That I'm where I am.
What gets you out of bed?
Right now, a crane. It's a chore to drag me out of bed. I used to get up, hit the gym. Driven by improvement, starting by increasing lifts, run a bit more. Then give the best in my life, and make memories at night. I'm working on getting back to that point.
