As I sit here reading through submissions from persperctive bloggers and listening to the music of perspective featured artists, I realize that today is the beginning of my life. Never mind the fact that I've been living for the last twenty some odd years. I am just starting today. I went to a small school in a small yet major city, where they taught me the real story of slavery. Where they taught me about people all over the world with all different skin colors who were forced to work for others for little or no wages.
Yesterday, I got fired from my day job. I was sitting in my office or rather grey, non-descript and sterile cubicle thinking about getting up and telling my boss to kiss my ass. I thought about telling him to kiss my ass because I realized that I was his slave. I was his worker who was not getting a piece of the collective pie, but rather a crumb or a morcel, enough to eat and be healthy, but not enough to enjoy life. Just enough to get wasted on Friday and Saturday, so I did not have to think about going to work on Monday. So I didn't have to face my life as an Account Executive -whatever the fuck that means- for a very large company working fifty hours a week.
I didn't start FreshFeature in attempt to get rich and not have to work. I started FreshFeature so that I could get on with the business of enjoying my life. No offense to those amongst us who can wear their suit and tie or suit and blouse to the 9-5 everyday. In fact I tip my hat to those who can. I cannot.
