I MADE IT!

Depending on when your reading this, I am OFFICIALLY retired, or within a few hours of becoming retired! Either way, life is pretty damn good.

So to my best estimates, Saturday, November 29th, 2008, at about 11:00 AM, I have punched out for the last time! The end of the "typical" lifestyle we all know, and the start of a new adventure.

For those of you who haven't kept up on my madness, I'll give you a short recap!

My theory in life after close observation, is that almost everything we do, from working, to eating, to paying bills, to how we live, to what we think happens after we die ... is generally stupid! WE don't live our lives!! We are PROGRAMMED to live a life that we are TOLD is normal! We are, in essence, little hamsters on a wheel just going through the grind of life. Waking up, pumping ourselves full of Starbucks or Red Bull, just to get enough energy to drive to work and punch in. Then we try and maintain consciousness enough to look like we are a productive member of the work force, all to collect some money now and then to pay for shit that we don't really need. Or better yet, we've been told we have to pay bills on stuff every month that already FREE!

Yeah, the whole cycle of life as we know it, is just absurd in my opinion. And most people think I'm a nutcase to think otherwise. But MOST people are also TO NUMB from their lifestyles to want to change it. Yeah, it's to hard to think about getting off that couch and removing the remote from the clutches of your hands and put down that Big Mac and 44 oz. Coke to try something different.

That's where I come in! I am going to give life a shot on MY OWN TERMS! To "buck the system" just about every single way I can think of. I feel life is short, and I don't have a clue what happens after we die (if anything), so I'll be damned if I'm going to spend it working for someone else just to be disposed of after I'm no longer a productive member of the working society, just so I can sit in my house with my cane and prune juice and wait for the grim reaper to come knocking! How frickin' lame is that ???????

COME ON PEOPLE! Wake up from your lifestyle coma!! Take a chance!! What is the WORST thing that can happen? You fail and have to get a job again? Ohhhhhhh BOO HOO! Piss on you all, I'll prove it can be done. And when it's all said and done, and we take that last breath before we die, at least I can say that I didn't give into the lifestyle of waking up everyday regretting that I had to spend a huge chunk of it, working for "the MAN"!!!!

So, for the 99.9% of you who are going to NOT take a chance on changing how you live, I have this blog. That way, you can at least keep up to date on all your missing! And maybe .... just maybe, someone out there will take a chance one day and try it too.

Now if you'll excuse me, it is my FIRST day of the rest of my new life, and I think I'm going to celebrate it with my wife and kids. See you tomorrow .. you know, tomorrow? The first day of my life where I never have to worry about waking up and going to work!!!! HA HA HA HA HA!!!


Todays RBV: Psalm 103:2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases.


Healeth all the diseases ??? Uhmmmmm ... hate to say it, but your kinda doing a shitty job!
