It's been a fun ride, guys. I've been thinking about this for a while and I finally think it's time I throw in the towel. I'm not cut out to do this anymore, in fact, I'm not even interested in doing this anymore. I've told my boss that I'm quitting. It's not about the money. I've just lost all desire to continue down this path. I told Billie that I have to leave, and after a few hours of discussion, she agreed.

I'm going to be selling most of what I own. My car, my electronics, CDs and DVDs, and I am just going to take off. Everything else can stay here. I haven't decided exactly where I am going yet, but it's not important. Somewhere overseas, for sure, though. I'll buy a plane ticket to France, maybe. Then take a train to Italy. Then hitchhike to a small town or village and start a new life. Get lost, forever.

I'm sure there's going to be a lot of people that will scoff at this idea, but it doesn't matter. I know it's going to be hard, but what isn't? I know I'll still need to work somewhere, but I don't need to earn a lot. Just as long as I can make enough to eat, and find a place to sleep, I'll be happy.

Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere.
