Bliss, Freedom, and parachutes

pluralToday I quit my job...
had a feeling it was coming, but it does feel nice now. I have some business deals to close early this week, then it is off to eastern washington for a week of bliss.
My boss took me out for cocktails at 3pm, I was blitzed by 4pm.
I highly recommend employement contracts, see this is the beauty of it, I quit today, and they still have to pay me for the next two months. Of course, I have another job offer in the works, after my required month off between jobs of course.
I refuse to work more than 9 months a year, it is too great a waste of life.
I am not sure exactly what I am going to do with the time yet, maybe take up pottery again or something similarly zen like.
I have decided to put off chasing women for a while as well. I realized that I am a very different person from the last time I was single and should probably explore it and figure out what works for me.
I went wine shopping yesterday, bought over 13 cases of wine, spent far too much money but it was worth it. I am thinking of opening the bottle of '63 Rothchild sitting back on my porch with a two hundred dollar cuban cigar and getting sloshed.
There is a delightful point of excess in life, where you are no longer enjoying something particulary fine, but enjoying the simple freedom to burn cash.
I have exquisite tastes, but to be completely honest I cant tell the difference better a hundred dollar cigar and a two hundred dollar cigar. so why do I smoke the two hundred dollar cigar? Granted I am not bill gates so I dont do it often, but there are two reasons, the first because I can, and the second because I enjoy the fact that I can.
I think I almost enjoy spending money for its sake alone, more so that for what it buys me.
Being able to drop a few grand on wine because I got excited and felt like it, is quite refreshing, almost theraputic even.
I highly recommend it.
