Funemployment

Or fun-unemployment...

Once in a great while there comes a time in particularly foolish young fellows lives where blogging becomes the single most productive thing that they do in life. A sad statement by any measure. Especially when less than one percent of one percent of a small number of people ever stumble upon the net result of his productivity. Also considering the fact that the actual net result of his productivity is in fact a blog about his sole remaining productive mechanism that is still tepidly cranking away.

To be candid fellow reader, I have recently joined the ranks of the unemployed-- and no, our friend Economy did not have any say in my severance from the real world, it was all my own doing-- a resignation of possible success in lieu of reckless abandon and self imposed poverty. Passing off the 6x4 office for a chance at making it big as a nude model or lumberjack. No more must I worry about taking a look at this NSFW picture during business hours, my Flight of the Conchords - 'Its Business Time' morning alarm ring tone serves now as only an afternoon suggestion, and I can stop telling my business associates that I drive a van because my Mercedes is still in the shop.

After a little over a week my unemployment beard is as fierce, as thick, and as unkept as the wild western frontier our ancestors tamed a century ago. A boon for the winter months, my beard is also perfect requisite for looking like a vagabond unemployed cuss of man. Don't blame me if I grow my chest hair and my eyebrow hair out to.

As I now sit on my high horse one week after shedding my real world responsibilities I have also come to the realization that one tends to bleed cash at an alarming rate. After doing some math and calculus I can say that this is due to not earning any money. When one does not earn any money, i.e. have any incoming cash flow-- and henceforth spends money at the same rate at which he did during employment/positive cash flow, the eventual result is a loss of money. Understanding this cannot last forever... I still do not have anything other than shortsighted joblessness goals. Which, fellow reader, is a good thing for you-- more posts frequent blog posts, more creative blog posts, more entertaining blog posts, less serious blog posts, etc... Assuredly, after a small period of time and my laziness increases (as it is expected to, in an exponential nature) I will end up just posting pictures and diagrams, similar in structure to an elementary picture book.

Consider this post a personal reintroduction from my 1.5 month sabbatical from blogging. Good night.
