Why Blog...

To answer the titular "Why blog" inquiry, I propose we start with a series of follow up questions:

• How often in life does one expect to find one's self in a position of joblessness for 17 days?
• When one does find one's self in a position of joblessness, how does one best leverage the situation?
• Finally, how does one enact said leveraging without compromising one's commitment to borderline alcoholism?

To put it succinctly, I was immediately terminated from my job when I announced I was leaving for another. I offered my two week's notice, but it was not accepted (or, in my case, necessary, as it was explained to me). Some might find this mildly distressing, or even altogether horrifying. Me? I'm thrilled.

I've been handed the opportunity of a lifetime--to pursue at age 23 a life that's as slothful and drunken as I choose, if only for a limited period of time.

I've started this blog to record the experience as it unfolds. I'm not making plans, but merely reacting to the whims of an unplanned life.

Business as usual has suddenly become a lot less business-like...
