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.

TEMPORARILY OUT OF ORDER (but always out of line)

ha! can i get any darker? we'll see when i return and tear up the waves in the cool ocean water! but i really need to focus on my book (the main reason why i'm here). so i'm really not going to be able to post too much stuff...the internet connection where i'm at is rather garden snail so it's just not worth my time.

but alas, wait till i get back. i'mma go surf, buy a lappie, come back and post the hell out of my trip. i still need to include ireland...wait'll you see the pics...beautiful coastline, my friends posing leisurely in their underwear, crazy stuff.

and you know, as the time winds down, and the whiskey goes down, and my high goes down, and more shit goes down, my entries are only going to get gayer; it'll be so sappy you'd want to make honey out of me and spread me all over your genitals.

i'd tell you how i feel right now but fuck, the impending return is going to be bittersweet; i'd tell you how i feel right now but i need to assess everything.

all i know is that i've been gone for 4 months. we'll see how much/little i've changed, along with the world around me. all i know is that i've had more than enough of amsterdam, more than enough of not having closed walls for me to sleep in, and more than enough of los angeles. this trip has thoroughly reduced me to particle form; i'll think about it some more, throw my shit particles in the air, and see what sticks.

for now, i'm exasperated.
