It was the Japanese that won the last Whisky world championship or whatever it is. Like , Mo I am also a lover of the mainland Highland varieties (as you will see in my avatar if you have really really good eyesight:)) The Spey valley and it's surrounding distilleries all with floral, soft and very smooth tasty whiskies...The Glenlivet Nadurra 16 yr old tastes like Sweet vanilla and the Nadurra olorosso is also fab. I am not as keen on the peat based Isley varieties but would not refuse one offered to me lol.

You don't have to read it to know that bottle!
The Glenlivet is also the flavoring whiskey for Dewar's and quite a few others.
The sweetest water on earth!

So I might be doing a complete and new career change. Scary shit, but the thought of getting away from corporate America may be the best thing I ever do. The stress, BS, and illogical never ending circles can end. It's not final, but the wife and I are having serious talks. Anyway, a bowl of fruit punch for the 6 tonight!

If I didn't have this 2 year old I would have been gone already! I have a few things to work out, some more discussion, and some praying to do. I will say that the thought of not dealing with my daily dose of shit makes me smile. Spring of 2016 might have some surprises.

Build the bank a lil bit and that way if it's a wash you have that safety net. Before I do anything new I've always done that. I've got kids to think about to so I can't just up and jump either ;)

I think peeps have been waiting for a link Cali209?
Copy Paste, greatest thing invented on the PC, lol.....

Figgy, I was chatting with my Mum last night about shtuff! Although I turned my back on being an employee the corporate world still got their claws into me. But when you work for yourself, apart from thinking the corporate engine is an even bigger cunt than it was when you were employed by it, there is a certain sense of control of your own destiny and the fog on the glasses of life you wear starts to clear up.
As far as stepping away and taking a risk, you seem like someone who will be able to cover the bills, and really that's all you need in life. You don't need fancy dinners out, latest cars, xboxes and shit. That can take a back seat, and when you remove all the shit, life isn't really that hard to cover what you need. I bought my house when I was earning over 120k salary, if I went to the bank now, they would probably tell me to fuk off and not give me the sort of loan I had, but hey, I can still cover my bills no problem, pretty much buy what I want, and have a great life to boot.....figure that out.
The trick in life is not to live the way you can't afford....which so may people seem to do (I blame celebrities, everyone thinks they are fukkin Posh and Becks or the bloody Kardashians or whatever they are called, when really they don't have 0.000005% of what these guys have as far as money goes)
Whatever you are thinking, GO FOR IT LAD!!!!!

I've never really been a part of the system. Always had odd jobs/ worked for myself. 36 now, and I've always found a way to make ends meet and have health insurance as well. I have to say my parents have helped me quite a bit, and finding a wife who likes making money didn't hurt. But like others have said, breaking free is a beautiful thing. And if you don't have to eat out all the time and pay for a nice car, life isn't all that expensive. I have a 2 year old too and she doesn't need all the toys and shoes we buy her, or should I say that my wife buys her lol. She'll be 2 in August actually. Loads of fun she is.... makes it easier living cheaply because we can never go out. haha

Good luck with whatever you decided.

On a completely different note, I drank some alcohol for the first time in a few years the other day. Didn't mean to. Wife bought some drink on sale at the supermarket here in Spain. Looks like a mixer or something, but it was cheap and she thought she'd try it. Said she didn't like it so said I could have it. Took a big old rip and damned if it wasn't alcoholic. Oops. lol.... only second time in 10 years I've had a drink, both accidents, and both in foreign countries, and both really shitty alcohol too. :) Anyways, that's my story for the day.
