OFFICIAL NEWS UPDATE !!!

It's OFFICIAL ! I told my boss to "Take this job and shove it!" I'm DONE!! I'm NEVER working for the MAN again! I will be self supporting, self sufficient, and living off the power grid. I'll eat wild critters over an open flame, grow a beard down to my belly, and live in a hole in the earth. YEAH, I'll show 'em allright!

O.K., that's not quite right. I am officially quiting my job, but I have another 6 weeks or so left. And the reason I quit is because the "old back" just can't take it anymore. I think half my paychecks are going to the chiropractor, not to mention spending half my time off laying on ice packs and hobbling around like a 90 year old. Soooooooo ...... I told Him I would duke it out for a couple weeks until He hires someone, then I'll stick around a few weeks to train the new guy in (while making Him do all the grunt work). Basically my doctor said, "Keep this up and you'll spend retirement in a wheelchair.", so that was kind of an eye opener, even though I'd love all the good parking spots.

So, the question is, what does one do without a job. The typical answer is "Find another one." Did I ever mention I'm NOT typical? THIS is my opportunity calling to DO STUFF! I'm going to build a greenhouse that's half in the earth and have it heated by the sun and grow food all winter long. I'm going to get some hens and have my own eggs. I'm going to build a corn maze and have thousands of people come in at 3 bucks a head. I'm going to build some small windmills and have a bank of batteries to have some FREE electricity. I'm going to get some cows and figure out how to make my own milk, cream, butter. I'm going to get some pigs and have and endless supply of bacon! I'm going to sell organic vegtables in the summer. I'm going to heat the house with a wood burning stove and cut my heat bill to nothing. I'm going to get a well and and have free water. I'm going to make my own clothes out of bark and leaves. And last of all, I'm going to START MY OWN RELIGION AND CASH IN!

So this is a great example of how to turn what "normal" people call a bad thing into a good thing. I say it's a way to turn a good thing into a better thing. Any other person would go out and find another job and hate it just as much as their last job. Not me, I say "Why go and do something that sucks again?" It sucked the first time, it sucked that last time, and it sucked everytime inbetween. We are just programed to work for a living, like hamsters on a wheel. Who the hell said working is "required" for life? Who made that rule? Piss on them! There's got to be a better way, and DAMMIT I'm going to try and find out what it is. Were all a bunch of ants running around everyday just working for a livin', trying to make ends meet. Yup, a bunch of pre-programmed robots doing what our bosses want us to do. Well it's time to change that for one person ... ME! And I'd rather go down in flames than give in to the typical life that we're all pre-programmed to live. I say, "You only live once, and there AIN'T NOTHING after we die, so lets have some fun DAMMIT!" Do you want to go to your death bed knowing that all you did is work for someone else all your life, or do you want to be on your deathbed knowing that you built your own little personal self sufficient empire? I'll choose the latter! PISS ON NORMAL PEOPLE!

So my retirement countdown went from just over 40 weeks, down to somewhere around 6 weeks or so. Hell if a fake that my back totally gave out, I could be done TOMORROW! If I could type in 20 foot letters right now, I would. WOOO HOOOOOO!!! I just KNOW this is the right thing, God told me!


Todays RBV:

1 Kings 11:16 For six months did Joab remain there with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom

Well that's just super duper! A six month killing spree! Yeah, this is the shit I want my kids learning about the Bible.
