Most people hit rock bottom and look for a way back up. DJ Kadagian hit rock bottom and kept going.
He went into the jungle, into the desert, and into questions most people spend a lifetime avoiding. Why? Simple: desperation.
Out of Chaos, a Survivor
DJ’s childhood was a whirlwind of chaos, orchestrated by an unhinged mother who could best be described as a "free spirit"—free from empathy, free from concern, and free from any semblance of conventional parenting. Her child-rearing philosophy could be summed up in one phrase: "Every man for himself." Out of that chaos emerged a human broken early, but irritatingly difficult to finish off.
The Search for Sanity
Maybe it would make sense to set a goal of becoming a normal, well-adjusted human. After all he’s been through, that would be a battle on its own. But "normal" isn’t enough for him anymore. He’s shooting for enlightenment.
Punching Waves is a raw, self-deprecating, and darkly comic journey. Perhaps even a roadmap for the desperate souls who realize that when life hands you chaos, sometimes the only way out is through a jungle, a desert, and a bucket-load of the truth.
