A change of pace
Nine days from now, I’m starting the engine on my white Jetta and cruise controlling my car full of irreplacables to the west coast. For the these last precious sweat-drenched, jersey-dress clad Texan days, I will do everything in my power to live afk as much as possible. Do all the things I meant to do while I was here. Hug all the people I wanted to hug. Drink all the free booze that I would normally turn down in the name of linear thought and early morning basic motor functions. I’m not ruling a return drive out, but I’m not planning on coming back.
To document my adventures which were inspired by a new-to-me Hunter S. Thompson book, The Great Shark Hunt, as well as the communication department’s equipment requirements which cause me to wonder what my tuition pays for exactly, I’ve acquired some fab new video and audio gear. I’m also switching up the focus of my blog to reflect my new interests.
Looks like I wasn’t all that interested in my last topic, ‘cos I didn’t blog much about it, hmm? Nah. In actuality companies were paying me to write for them in such quantity during the day that when I came home, it was all I could do to read my freshest New Yorker or watch movies lethargically.
As an aside, Festen aka The Celebration is an especially jaw dropping flick. The bland Netflix synopsis doesn’t do it justice.
My time in the corporate jungle is short (4 days left), and the time has come to leave the comfort of my ergonomically sensitive chair and temperature controlled climates and emerge from the security badge activated electronically powered revolving door armed with a sound growth strategy, a cell phone with internet access, and an open mind.
My lunch break is over… I’ll write more soon.
