What is the Penny Quest?

Quick Answer: It is one man's quest to take a found penny and turn it into a million dollars. Yup, that's right - A MILLION DOLLARS!

Why? To understand why I really have to tell you the whole story of the penny quest, but in a nutshell: I am searching for the meaning of life and this quest will help me do it.

OK so what's the Story of the Penny Quest? It started two years ago (Summer of 2004) I had a dream that I was walking over a railroad bridge near my home and I looked on the ground and I saw a penny. In my dream I imagined that I could somehow turn it into a million dollars. That morning I drove off to work and I crossed over the very bridge that I dreamed about. I thought to myself "pretty silly" But I almost pulled the car over and looked. For the remainder of the week I thought about the penny and on the weekend I decided to go out and look for it. I brought my camera with me and I found a penny. You can follow my pictorial essay of the penny quest here. Follow the steps I am taking.

So you are thinking: That was 2004, what happened? It's now 2006.

Life got in the way, I pursued the penny quest a bit but then let it drop. I have been working on other things including a search for the meaning of life. (see the website here) Recently I stumbled across a website about a guy that is turning one red paperclip into a house. He is actually doing it! And is making progress. This has reinspired me to continue on with the penny quest. But now I have a purpose in my quest. To find the meaning of life. I have an aggressive plan to seek out the meaning of life and the penny quest will give me the freedom to do it.

My search for the meaning of life is a difficult one (Everybody says impossible) But it is my dream and what I have chosen to do with my life. The million dollars I earn from the penny quest will allow me to pursue it. My plans include a trip to tibet, a trip to the vatican, a visit with the Dalai Lama. I also plan to release a series of messages in a bottle in the atlantic ocean.
