Today is the
dawn of a new era. Rant is done with all the bullshit. Fourteen years of the corporate
grind is coming to an end. Twenty years of putting everyone on earth before me
is over. It won’t happen overnight but anything and everyone that is not on
board with who Rant is will be axed from my life. No more dysfunctional people,
places and things. No more selling out my ethics for a lousy paycheck. Anyone
who doesn’t like it can kiss my white ass.
It’s taken me
along time but I have come to realize that my circumstances are generally of my
own making and they are crushing my soul. I love my kids and some of my friends
and family but that’s. I haven’t been able to do what I have wanted to for
decades and I have come to realize that the people I was trying to please are selfish,
ungrateful assholes that really don’t give a fuck about me. They don’t deserve
a second of my consideration anymore. Other than my kids I will no longer think
of anyone but myself and what will make me happy.
My days as a
corporate drone are nearing an end. I am interviewing for a position as a part
time sushi chef. I have a history and a passion about sushi but will save that
for another time. I might drive for Uber and Lyft. I’ll drain one of my 401k
account to get situated with a life that I want to live now instead of banking
on a future date that may never come, all the while just enriching the money
grubbers in the temple. Last week I told my bosses that I was done and that
they could either work a deal out with me to get all this info I possess or
they could go fuck themselves. Funny how when you tell someone to fuck off,
then they all of sudden value you. Fourteen years they have treated me like
shit, now they don’t want to lose me. Is it me they don’t really want to lose
or is it the information that I possess? Once they have that information they
will no longer give a fuck. At least I have a hand to play unlike most chumps.
Don’t even
get me started on my 18-year marriage. You give a woman your heart and soul
then they trample on it because of some bullshit. Funny how these chicks don’t
realize that the show is basically over for them after 40 but for guys it’s
just starting. I’ll be running strong right out of the gate. It ain’t bragging,
it just is. I’m not going into any details on that but trust me I’ll be in
prime shape. I have nothing left for the ungrateful cunts in this world. There
is nothing more in this life that pisses me off more than people mistaking my
kindness for weakness. It’s kind of funny watching their reaction when you go
from Mr. nice guy to Mr. hard ass. They can all go fuck themselves.
Many are
cautioning me that I am throwing it all way, that I should save my marriage and
career. What’s to save? A man can only be shit on for so long before he breaks
and I am at that breaking point. I feel like Kevin Spacey in American Beauty.
The parallels are quite amazing. Time to stop fucking around with all this functional
training crap in favor of training to look hot. Time to start thinking about
what it is that I want to do.
And don’t
you assholes start telling me what to do. Fuck you and your opinions. I’ll
always have my kids covered. I won’t ever leave or forsake them. They stay with
me. End of fucking story. And money is just fucking money. There’s knuckle
heads digging ditches making as much or more money than me. These corporate grinds
don’t pay as much as you’d think and even if they did the tradeoff is hardly worth
it. I am sick to death of compromising my ethics and values for a fucking
paycheck. And I’m even more fed up with kowtowing to pathetic, pencil neck, cunts
that deserve nothing but my scorn and derision.
As Bob Dylan
once said, “we all serve somebody”. I
realize that life is about dealing with assholes and people trying to cheat you
at every turn. My challenge is to eliminate as many of these people as possible
in my life. My challenge it to embrace my passions first. Today starts my official
announcement. Tomorrow the real work has already started. My new training regimen
starts tomorrow before dawn. I will become a 4 am ninja Monday thru Friday,
with pre work workouts. The weekends will be for fun, my fun. Fuck everything else.
My training inspiration will come from myself but I am getting a lot for that
cunt that runs Lift-Run-Bang.

So you're coming out of the closet?

Judging by those photos from his bodybuilding show, I'd say it's a safe bet that he's also coming out of the closet.
Hunh.
ReplyDeleteYou will be paying child and spousal support based on current income. No judge gives a fuck about your dreams, come short of the money you go to jail.
ReplyDeleteBut...but....I don't wanna eat shit. It isn't that great, trust me.

ReplyDeleteWho here thinks Rant's everyone-can-eat-shit plan isn't working out so great? Let's see a show of hands.
ReplyDeleteI think Paul Carter went to runt's house and knocked his teeth down his throat after the "cunt" comment.
ReplyDeleterunt is obviously panning for some extra mileage by trying to start a flame war with Paul but Paul's a good dude and wouldn't waste his time on this bipolar weirdo.
