The haps
So for a while there I was happy to have my job back. Now I hate it and and every day it sucks the life out of my merry existence in much the same way a black man would suck the marrow out of a chicken bone. Ah, but the joke is on them. I'm quitting by the end of March, maybe sooner. Probably sooner. I'm tired of working at shitty jobs. Just thinking about it makes me indignant.
I once had potential. I was going to be somebody and I knew it and I believed it everyday until I was hit by the painful reality that it was patently untrue and I was mired in a sea of self delusion. The way things stand right now, I suck at life. That fact hit me this New Year's shortly after 3am when Laurence Paik called me to inform me I needed to turn my life around, lest I become a total failure. It was hard for me to object because I instantly knew his words to be true. By the end of the call I was damn happy he called. That was a badly needed slap in the face.
So here's my plan. Like I said, I'm quitting my job. Then I'm going to find some job at night, waiting tables or what have you. Truth be told I don't really care. Starting in June, I'm going to be back in school close to full time. And this time I'm going to do it right. A's in every class. An A- is unacceptable. Less than that is total failure. Studying what? Well you'll have to come visit me in LA for me to tell you that one you lazy chav. But know you this: my days of wasting my life are over. I've gotten off to kind of a late start, but better that than being 40 years old and realizing that I'm a waste of human flesh and deserve to have my knees shattered with a crowbar.
When I first started to consider this option the major consideration was how would I get by with less money. Then I realized that I make so little now that they might as well pay me in sand and even a shitty job that hires parolees would pay more. Then there was the question of how I would handle the drop in prestige. Then I realized that I work at a company who despite a recent out of court settlement with attorneys general of 49 states just today had an office raided by the FBI. From where I stand I could hardly go downhill without committing serious crimes that violated the dignity or well-being of other people. Even white collar crime would be a step up.
Two big returns to the octagon in the month of March: Tito Ortiz and Frank Shamrock. More on this later.

Hey Dude. Thought you mysteriously disappeared to some training facility in the Arizona Dessert learning SWAT for the DEA. Sorry about the job man. Just think though, with waiting tables you will meet plenty of licentious women and you'll get free food (unless you work at the RFC). My suggestion: go for a nice restaurant that isn't corporate. Good luck.
