I Can't Believe They Actually Gave Me A Raise

I got a raise!!! It's a modest 4%, but it's something . . . and I basically do nothing but post on here all day

I'm pry getting a new car (different) tomorrow and getting rid of my piece of shiitte Pontiac Grand Am :dow

I've quit smoking . . .

I'm looking for some new ladies . . .

I just purchased and watched the first season of heroes . . .

I'm ready to attack the world by the balls in '08 peeps

 

nah . . . I think I'll be ok; plus I quit smoking and that in itself almost equates to a $1.00 raise . . . quit trying to November-Rain on my parade

 

haha, thanks homie . . .

I never said this and I don't know why I chose right now to, but thanks for coming to the Bat-boards and laying shiitte down in the batsuit discussion thread . . . I always agree w/ you on stuff like that, and I needed a hand one day and you came in a qwned

 

seriously though, I've been feeling real epiphanic the past couple days . . . I feel like I'm gonna make some major moves in '08 . . . I've been putting off this kids book idea, and I need to stop screwing around and start producing . . .

this whole raise thing is really just superficial, and what I really want is to take any money I can to start investing in my own art studio (going to start w/ a custom made PC, and I need to get a Corel pad or something to that effect)

maybe if my balls get big enough, I will drop everything and move to Chicago . . . (and I mean conservatively dropping everything) where I can be closer to the art field . . . I think I'm old enough to know how to make things work for me, but young enough to quit my job if need be to pursue what I really love to do . . . you only get one shot

 

thanks for stealing my thunder and making my raise look like pocket change, Erz

haha, seriously though . . . that's awesome . . . I need to start making some real money, or at least a real living . . . at least TRY . . .

it's hard cuz I could end up making this job a career if I REALLY wanted but my heart isn't in it . . . I need to sacrifice for the greater good of me

 

Girl!! I'll take that ass to Mickey-D's AND supersize it

 

I thought you knew, big Wil-ee stylies, I makes it rain SON!

*turns up Jay-Z's 'Big Pimpin'*

 

I know you got your degree and everything dude, so you deserve it you gotta put in the work, and I've been on auto-pilot as far as my life goes for the past few years . . .

for me, it's a lot tougher to lay your balls out on the table though . . . the market is rough for a straight jon in the art field . . . I just gotta say 'fk it' at some point . . .

 

seriously man . . . I figure, we really do live in the land of opportunity but we're so easily distracted by things that most of us don't live up to our potential . . . it's stupid to play ourselves as a collective people, living in America when we have so many resources at our fingertips . . .

I don't know . . . . maybe it's just New Year's resolution fever, maybe I'm really ready, maybe it's cuz I just watched the whole first season of Heroes in a matter of 3 sittings; but I'm trying to do big things in '08 'fo it's too late

I hope everything works out for you man . . . good luck w/ your surgery . . . hope it's nothing too serious, and that it will help you to focus on your work . . . take it as a blessing, you really won't be able to do much else so might as well make the best of it

 

manifest destiny man!

this might sound corny, but I was watching Heroes and I kind of related it to my own life (which I don't think will sound so crazy to you, us all being here on a superhero website) and realized that I have potential . . . talent; in art, music, writing, and that's not a luxury everyone has . . .

if I'm not using it to help others see their way, what am I really doing with my life? like you said, it's just time to stop effing around . . .

hell, maybe we could even collaborate a little . . . I could do a spread or a cover of one of your characters if you gave me a description of design . . . I'm a trained illustrator . . .

 

haha, thanks man! I know, the raise is really the least cool of the other things . . . should have named it something else
