Happiness

So I am currently on cloud nine. Life is awesome people. I have been very intent on leaving the country for some time and battle plans were in the process of being drawn up. The realities of South Africa were dark. Politics, stupidity, and the human fuck-up factor were rated very, very high. But then I learned that I would be debt free in July. Like 100%. I will own a car. I will have lots of cash at the end of each month to build into something. If I leave and head to another country what would I gain? I would be full of debt again. In a strange place, and without the support of my wonderful friends, and albeit distant family. I would be alone. Would the opportunities be better? Perhaps. I'd find a job where I could flourish and learn and grow.

But then I thought - I have a job where I am the top creative. Everyone asks me what I think. I am beholden to my bosses who are in a very real sense very kind to me. And indulge me but give me limits. I am free to explore ideas outside the normal realm of any other job I've ever had. I am financially free. I am surrounded by the most awesome people. My friends put up with my oddism's like champions, and at times encourage me!

I have a great place to live, great people to share my space with, a supportive and not too intrusive job that I love doing, and in all fairness a great country to live in. Why the fuck would I want to leave? So really this is just a post to say - hey everyone one of you! I love you all, thank you all, and I hope that you too are in a place of happiness!

And yes, this blog is subject to instant change if I hear another word about municipalities not making audits, eskom, SAA, JZ, or - AHHH FUCK. Thank you. Thank you very much. That's it. I'm leaving. North Korea, here I come.
