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.

They made a smart decision to get rid ot their TV.

George: It's so easy to come home tired from work and to just throw on the Television. Next thing you know, you've wasted three hours.

I couldn't agree more. I had the revelation while in Cappadocia, amidst all the tombstones in the old cemetaries. All the houses, as old and crummy as they were, still had satellite dishes.

At that moment, I realized that the dishes, themselves, were modern day tombstones. TV kills you, and before you even waste your life away, you're already buried underneath them.

Dare I say this....no TV for me? Except for Lakers and NetFlix. Fair? Fuck it, I need to live life to the fullest. I'll only have one for movies, and the Lakers, I promise.
