Steve Emig/The White Bear's Future

I gave my four-legged niece, Willow, the camera and told her to take a selfie of us.  Like nearly all females, she wanted to be the center of attention.  That's my arm in the photo. 

I'm writing this on May 1, 2017.  On May 31st, I'm going to move out of the apartment I've been living in with my mom for the last five years.  I don't know where I'm going to move.  I'm 50 years old, I weigh 361 pounds (lost 7 1/2 lbs. in the last two weeks), I have no job, no phone, no car, and hardly any money at the moment.  Now I don't expect any of you to really give a damn about that. 

Between today and May 31st, I will tell you my story on my blog The White Bear's Stuff.  On May 31st I will move on and continue writing, and drawing pictures in my original "scribble style" with Sharpie markers.  I'm asking for $43 to move on to the next part of my life.  There's a lot of work I want to do on a variety of subjects, and any donations over the $43 will help get started on those.  Any help is appreciated.

Here are some things I plan on getting and doing when I can:

- More art supplies
- Starting a small business to sell my writing and art
- a phone that's not too much smarter than I am
- a good digital still/video camera so I can shoot photos for my artwork and make videos to share on You Tube or wherever.
- an SE Bikes Far Ripper bike to help me keep losing weight and get back to my BMX freestyle roots
-an old Ford Crown Victoria to travel the country to promote my writing and art.

There are no rewards for this Go Fund Me campaign.  If you find anything helpful in my story, you can donate something here to help me keep working.
