Ahhh… Fuck it!
That’s basically what I said… fuck it. I had been contemplating doing something drastic with my life… what’s next? am I getting all that I can out of SoCal… Am I loving this life or is there other out there… Yeah I have a great career job… options are open but I can’t seem to be able to commit to anything that’s meaningful to me right now. I’m distracted, constantly looking for satisfaction and comfort. I came to a choice. I’ve been dating a woman for over a year now. She’s wonderful, adventurous, stimulating, fun and exotic…
I’m not going to get into too many details here but ultimately I had an option to take a job in NY and it came down to why not…. what’s really holden me down here? I’ve wanted to move to NY for some time now… she just did it first. Maybe I was jealous, maybe I wanted to see why NYers say they’d never leave dispite the cold, maybe I want to see where this would all lead etc etc. No one can tell me where this is going but I can say I would hate to have thought 20 yrs from now “What if I had moved…”
So I’m here. I officially quit my current job this month and it’s my first day in NY as a transplant. Its all new, fresh, exciting, … and my most daring adventure yet.
Sol would shoot me for taking this long to get off my ass and make a move… but up and leaving for LA was just the start… who know’s where I’ll be in 5 years and ya know, for the first time I’m not that worried about it.
Happy New Years all! Enjoy, Be Safe and Live life for all its got!
…here’s to the next adventure.
Racism
A white woman, about 50 years old, was seated next to a black man. Obviously disturbed by this, she called the air Hostess. “Madam, what is the matter,” the hostess asked. “You obviously do not see it then?” she responded. “You placed me next to a black man. I do not agree to sit next to someone from such a repugnant group. Give me an alternative seat.”
“Be calm please,” the hostess replied. “Almost all seats on this flight are taken. I will go to see if another seat is available.” The Hostess went away and then came back a few minutes later. “Madam, just as I thought, there are no other available seats in the economy class. I spoke to the captain and he informed me that there is also no seat in the business class. All the same, we still have one seat in first class.”
Before the woman could say anything, the hostess continued: “It is not usual for our company to permit someone from the economy class to sit in the first class. However, given the circumstances, the captain feels that it would be scandalous to make someone sit next to someone so disgusting.” She turned to the black guy, and said, “Therefore, Sir, if you would like to, please collect your hand luggage, a seat awaits you in first class.”
At that moment, the other passengers who were shocked by what they had just witnessed… stood up and applauded. This is a true story….
