retire half time (read all 2 entries…)
Work half time = Play more 4 years ago

Went and gave notice at my job last week – found I could work for more money doing contract work if I’m willing to let go of a few benefits.

I was just up front with people when they interviewed and told them my goal was to have more free time – honesty & conviction always pay off in the end – at least it’s a good filter to help you work with people who are going to be real with you!

Also a friend hooked me up with a low cost catastrophic health insurance plan, so when I want to be covered, I can do it for cheap.

Also went and refinanced car at lower interest rate, am going to move to a simpler, cheaper place to live – basically just getting my crap together! It feels sooo good – all those vacations I could never take, the time I never had to do things, the inability to relax – all in the past.

The future looks bright and life is good!



make my own furniture by hand
nothing like a chisel in hand 4 years ago

Oh, those Japanese TOOLS feel so good!
and the chips flying smell so delicious!

plus most furniture doesn’t FIT me, so I might as well make my own…



paint
just because 4 years ago

no composition, same painting everyday, just to push some paint around, just to smell the oil, just to see the surface, just to feel its viscosity taking form beneath the pressure of my brush, just because.
