My passion for human interaction and yearning to make a positive difference in others lives has prompted me to explore America through a road trip. I hope to spread love, peace, and happiness (brightening lives one hug at a time) through my adventures as a Professional Free Hugger. This trip will also provide time for me to engage in self exploration and develop meaningful connections, and experiences that will have an influential part in my future life.

OOOHhh YEahh.
So today I mailed a couple of packages to some people that bought some stuff on ebay from me and then I went downtown to go Free Hugging with my amazing friend Morgan! While free hugging with Morgan we got a total of 65 hugs in 2 hours!! 40 of those hugs we got in the first 20 minutes because we ran into a group of Vlogers from youtube and the Nerd Fighters I think they were called from the Vlog Brothers. It was amazingly cool to be around a group of amazing people that were so open to the act of hugging! I got to give them all my awesome Professional Free Hugger Business cards! (Which I just realized... don't actually have my email address on them... I should put that on in future cards because I told a bunch of people to email me and stuff so all I can hope for is that they come to this blog and read this post where they will learn that they can email me at duckductdave@gmail.com or leave comments and stuff so we can get in touch because those people were awesome!!) Sooo yeah. After free hugging I went to see a few of my friends Olivia, Hannah, and Alaina sing at our church. It was really amazing awesome fun! Total over the day I met tons of awesome cool people and hope to get to know them more!!
In other news, I sent in my Month at the Museum application a couple days ago, and I think I made a pretty good application so wish me the best! :D I also am selling my duct tape items on ebay and www.etsy.com/shop/duckductdave to get money for my gap year road trip! Thanks for all your support and Have a great Night! (or day if your reading this in the day time) :D
Lots of Hugs! <3 David

Duct Tape Funness!!
So lately I have been busy making duct tape items and improving my inventory so that I can actually have some product to sell. It has been going pretty well. Right now I have about 50 items for sale between etsy.com and ebay. I haven't gotten anything sold through the online postings yet but hopefully as I make more interesting items and learn how to market my products better, I will be able to make money to support myself on my road trip. Thanks for your support!

Free Hugging 7/1/2011
I went free hugging with my friend Ethan yesterday. We went to the Taste of Chicago and walked around Michigan Ave. and Millennium Park. Over the whole day we gave away 120 hugs!! I know this thanks to my awesome and amazing free hugs counter. :D
I also had a new twist while giving away hugs yesterday (other than the fact that I had a friend with me hugging), I had made Professional Free Hugger business cards therefore making me more of a professional! It was really cool to be able to say "Hey look I have a business card that says I am a professional free hugger so I am legit and professional" more or less, but not in those exact words. I found it a good way to introduce people into the idea of free hugging and the vision that I have and why I give them away. On the side of the left side of the business card is a quote in cyan from Leo Buscaglia which reads "Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around" I hope that this card will allow people to look beyond just the hug and think about the reasons behind offering free hugs. You can not receive a hug without giving a hug so as much as the other person needs a hug, I need their hug to. I am grateful for every hug I receive and I hope that every one that I hug is grateful for the hug that they receive from me.
While I was free hugging I met a family to whom I gave everyone hugs and handed out my Free Hugger business card and they loved it and one of the children, about 9 or 10 said "Your a good person, Thank you!" and everyone was happy. Another member of the family told me that I had really brightened their day. It's for those moments that I give away free hugs. Thank you for brightening MY day by complimenting me. It all goes back to Leo Buscaglia's quote.... What can I say... It's a good quote. :D
