That you are going to be sat in front of a screen for the next 20 years??
Could you turn your back on all your contacts and go somewhere new..?
You thoughts please...

What I mean is would you stick a pin in the world map and follow your heart.
Could be with the same girl in the same house in the same town working on the same jobs for the same clients
you get the picture...

Well last year at this time I was sitting at a dead end job working for a husband and wife company listening to them bitch and fight all day. The mother figure (a.k.a. the accountant) talked endlessly but seemed to not have any idea what she was talking about, and the father figure (a.k.a. the salesman) once welcomed me at the door with just his boxers on and tried to show me his hernia operation scar. He also considered himself a better designer than I was.
After working for them for over 2 years, I quit and followed my heart to Germany where my girlfriend lives and now work as designer in an Apple Reseller firm. Last night my boss GAVE me a new Bang & Olufsen TV.

Thing is I run my own company which has been going for nearly a year and all is cool - however, I am only 29 and want to do other stuff.
Everything I have worked for could easily be given up to get a job in another country and for example... go snowboarding, go to the beach, go wakeboarding EVERYDAY for the rest of my life.
Just having thoughts at the moment that I will design my way through life with same computers, same apps, same house, same girl
Wheter any of it is right... who knows :(
Sorry gang - I get like this about twice a year :(

29, eh? Google the phrase Saturn Return and read up. It's about a phase in your life that begins around your age.

what time does this saturn return end? I'm 31 and I'm still waiting for the divine knowledge.
I want my money back.

you either need to count your blessings or get up and out.
otherwise you aren't being fair to yourself or those you're with.

How are you ever supposed to know though... Thats my point
Everyone always says - yeah mate - you can come back -but do you ever really come back from where youve been (if you know what I mean)
I guess Im always worried about the consequences.
:( - thank blaw...

If I'm sitting in front of this screen for the next 20 years doing the same thing, I'll be a rich man. I'll also be out of sperm, since working at home by myself, I jerk off waay too much. goddammit.
