remember

my parents: high school sweethearts
The Shangri-Las: Remember Walkin' in the sand

inspiration: entrepreneurship

As I sit here at my desk this morning I am fantasizing for the day I can be my own boss. This whole reporting to "the man" nonsense is wearing thin. I was flipping through some old photo albums at my folk's house last week and came across tons of shots that left an impression on me. Seeing taught happy faces and disco clad parents was enjoyable but what really stood out to me were all the shots of them working. They have always been entrepreneurial and self driven. At some point in their early careers they both decided, "Fuck this, I'm working for myself!" and opened independent businesses.

These 3 photos (although not flattering) show my dad in a few of his successful business ventures:

These push me one step further to actually quit bitching and start following my passion.
