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.

She Made Me Feel Like Shit - Train Station, Sofia, Bulgaria

She really did. I was sitting across from here while waiting for the train to Budapest.

I had a McDonald's breakfast sandwich and so I was eating it. She saw me and then decided to bring out her packed meal. In between two pieces of white bread were cut up, uncooked pieces of hot dog meat and mayo.

It sucks, I think of the distribution of wealth in the world and it makes it hard for me to believe that people are inherently good. Rather than making me feel grateful for what I have, it made me feel worse for the things others don't have.

Is this life?
