A struggle

Life is a lot easier now that our minecraft world is devoid of monsters. I can wander freely without ever worrying about going home before dusk. However, when I was exploring I became lost at one point and was in a critical state of starvation. I did not want to lose my items so I decided to eat a slab of raw meat and take my chances. Luckily I did not get sick and was able to find my way back to civilization afterwards. I will need to work on marking my tracks next time I go wandering so I won’t get lost again.

An accomplishment

While I was exploring the terrain I realized we live in a big world and there is still a lot of unchartered land and resources! I discovered a new tree species I’ve never seen before, apparently it’s called “birchwood.”

It has been a productive day for me! I have basically commandeered the whole top of the mountain where I am currently living. I did some home renovating and expansion today.I am still in need of a real door. I have begun working on a second home, which I am in the process of figuring out what to use it for. Perhaps I can use it for my impending business or farm. I have finally made a treasure chest so I can store my valuables without being paranoid about dying and losing everything- it is essentially my savings account! I have learned how to cook steak, porkchop and chicken. I made a bed out of wool and wood planks (although I am having trouble place my bed in my house for some reason).

An observation

I agree with the previous posts that we owe a lot of our accomplishments to the wonderful minecraft wiki. That site is the bible of minecraft. Without it, we would be struggling a lot longer.

My next task will be to learn more about mining and specialize in some means of production/labor. I need a job and occupation of some sort. I am kind of interested in agriculture. Veronica told me she figured out how to breed cows and grow wheat, perhaps that will be a potential industry I am interested in. I would not mind starting a little garden on the top of my mountain to do some sustainable farming. I think we should all specialize in some form of occupation. We should try to build a community so we can behave less like “every man for himself/dog eat dog world” and more like a society. We need some kind of system that will bring us together because I think we are currently living in a state of anarchy. 

A question

Would any one like to collaborate with me as business partners?! (i.e one of us specializes in hunting and gathering the other one goes to mine for minerals) We can have a mutually beneficial relationship and trade our items with each other.  

@NapoleonBonaparte: There is a lot of animals you can harvest for wool if you venture out further from the spawn site. Is your house the one at the bottom of a mountain with a lot of torches? I can give you some of my wool too because I think I have been using the coal in your furnace.
