Am I Famous Now…

I have been suppressing it since some hours already, but it is saturday. Thus meaning that again I have plenty of things I want to blog about. It is strange, but week after week topics I can write about suddenly come to me on saturday and sunday.
On weekdays, automatic pilot is the thing to be on. So get ready for several new entries to come in the next 36 hours.

I am not, and have never been, the person who asks people for advice very often. I will discuss my actions and decisions I make with a very selective and small group of close friends, but will rarely ask the whole world and blogland for advice. I am grown up already imagine.
Even with those friends, I rather share views and then I’ll digest what I need/want/like. In a relationship I will discuss almost everything and I actually am the person who will rather accept my partner’s decision. But I disgress.

Sometimes though I become curious. I want to know what other people would do. Yes you read that correctly, what other people would do. I didn’t write what other people would do in my situation. Get it?
OK lets move on.

Of course I was aware of the money being on his way. As I had initiated the contact months ago already with that company I also finished the negotiations. And knew we they would get the financial aid. I already knew this before I had left the startup. It was what allowed me to leave. And luckily that company agreed with it, although they admitted they would never have joined if I hadn’t been CEO (their words, not mine).

So on wednesday when I wrote about it, it meant that I just had brought a cheque to the bank. And luckily I didn’t have his problems.
I just checked my bank account and immediately it struck me again.

What am I going to do?

I am 31 now, still again single, not the most handsome but there surely is worse out there, and am rich. Years long I have been working very hard and always had several projects. The last one I started around a year ago and left it some weeks ago.

I still work very hard, but have no particular project right at the moment. Except for a book. I have several jobs and earn a good living.

I would love to open a bar again, but don’t want to live the nightlife anymore. I am not interested anymore in organizing venues (soon more to come about this in a new mini-bio entry).

I want to leave the UK because I don’t really feel that great here, but I don’t know where to go. No woman has managed it to make me change country and rebuild my life. Not a woman has managed it to make me truly enjoy the UK either.

I always wanted to go to Barcelona , Spain. But only to end my days there. What would be better than sitting on Las Ramblas, enjoying your cortado and browsing your websites the web with your new MacBook Pro notebook, counting your Adsense revenue and optimize your sites.
But I am not ready for this, not yet. And not rich enough to leave for Barcelona and open a bar there.

I have several job offers. Some in the UK, some abroad, but am not really looking for another/a new job. Didn’t I just start something new? And I enjoy it. So does my client since we expanded the deal for plenty more hours (with a higher fee as well). Actually it is not that much different from the crisis management I did for several bars. This time it is online tho.

So lets recapitulate. 31 and a healthy bank account. No specific plans. No debts or obligations other than this. Yes I did it, but attentive reader you are you had already discovered the hint. A visit to the dealer this morning confirmed I will have it in 3 weeks, normally on a thursday. Guess what will happen that weekend. Germany! Hamburg for the insiders. ;-)
It is a leasing, so it is kinda cheating and doesn’t count for the what will I do question, I would have gotten it anyway.

So the only thing I did was buy some YHOO stock and browse the net for some new hardware. I ended up buying nothing a 19″ widescreen secondary monitor for my notebook (in a near future this will become the media server monitor). Other items can wait some more, nothing could convince me to buy it now.

What would you do?
