I'm retiring !!


Yup, I'm 38 years old and before I hit 40 I AM going to retire.


Retire from "working for the man" anyways. I just can't seem to fit into working for a typical job for a living. It's boring, lame, half the people I work with at any job are lazier than crap. I just feel out of place at the job. I have a strong work ethic and feel that working hard and doing a good job not only is the right thing to do, but it also makes the day go a lot quicker. I can't stand working with people who's entire goal is to milk the clock for every second they can. There is nothing worse than making a 12 hour day seem like 20 by dragging it out by working slow, but that seems to be the trend these days.

So, the question is, how does one retire at 40 without a big inheritance? Well, to be honest, it's not an official retirement. It's more of a retirement of working a typical job. I'm going to figure out how to make money without punching a time clock. I am confident there has GOT to be a way to do SOMETHING on my own and make money at it. I still don't know what it's going to be, I just know that one day around this time next year I'm going to tell my boss that I QUIT! And when He asks me "Who are you gonna go work for?" .. I'm going to get a big ass grin on my face and say "NOBODY!!!"

And you know what, it might not work out. I might crash and burn on this idea. But you know what, you only go around once, and I'd be rather disappointed if I didn't give it a shot. Life is just to damn mundane now to NOT give it a shot. And if all else fails, I can always fall back on a sure-fire plan that has never failed in 1000's of years. That's right .. I'll start my own religion. BIG PROFITS, no taxes, all bullshit. Sounds like fun to me!

Yeah, all you other people are worried about having a new car, a better house, nice clothes, a bigger ego. NOT ME. I'd be happier walking around in 10 year old ripped underwear and working for ME than to punch a time clock and drive a Mercedes. I think I'd rather have my testicles tied in a double knot than to work at a typical job for the rest of my life. I'm confident there has to be a better way. You can keep your corporate image, your expense accounts, your working off the clock, your having 10 bosses, your backstabbing co-workers, your "at work" gossip. Yeah ...... you can keep it all. I, on the other hand will be doing what I want, when I want, and how I want.

So I'll keep you all posted on ideas that come to mind that I might be doing, I have a whole year to figure it out. But when that day comes, I'll wake up one morning and open my eyes and say "Free at last ... Free At Last .... THANK GOD ALMIGHTY I'M FREE AT LAST !!!! "

So here's to 345 left until I'm done working for the man. Take this job and shove it baby!!

Don't forget to grab a worthless boss and have them spade or neutered.


Todays RBV:

Mark 12:25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.


Huh? There's no marriage in heaven. I guess that could be viewed as a good thing. Wonder if they allow drunken orgies?
