The Beginning of the End

Background
I worked at a top-ranked advertising agency for the past 3.5 years and recently just got laid off. I fancied two options: working on another piece of business (doing the same shit) or taking the severance package and running.

It's going to be insane -- I've never traveled overseas as an adult. I've never lived outside of Los Angeles. I've never been away from my family for more than three weeks. I've never even backpacked, and the longest amount of cold I've experienced was during weekend trips to Mammoth -- with aged whiskeys, hot jacuzzis, and winter green to ease my soul after a long day of snowboarding.

Admittedly, I'm scared shitless of what I may be getting myself into; but at the same time, I'm pretty excited to see what I may be getting myself out of.

Contact
The only way to contact me is to leave comments on this blog, Facebook or via email (proefound@yahoo.com). Other than that, I've decided to fuck off.

Wish me lush.

FEBRUARY 6, 2008 - FLYING SOMEWHERE OVER COLORADO

I can't believe this is happening to me right now. Fate's bullshit because too many things had to have pulled together in order to make this trip happen. Either way, my last meal on American soil was a cheeseburger combo from In-N-Out. I guess I couldn't have been more "Bolen Parque" than that. So it's funny, seeing all these affluent folks alongside me; not knowing all the obstacles I had to endure and witness in order to be here amongst them. We'll see how this goes. Just saw Michael Clayton right now (was aight). I threw up a little earlier because I'm so nervous and scared. And I miss my parents already; but I have the heart of my entire bloodline -- pumping and bleeding in order for me to be on this flight, and Allah willing, I'm going to make the most of it.
