Of a semi-unemployed Craig.
Ha. And who would have thought it would come to be? I sort of did. I was "working" quite hard with my day job and then busting it for a few hours for The Guest List after my 9 to 5. Now, it's all different. The Guest List is the all the time job that doesn't pay me enough today, but could pay me all KINDS of things in the future. Not just money, but connections, travel, freedom, mobility, respect, and intrigue. These are things I don't think I can compromise for another $40K per year job.
Yes, I know. Stupid. But, what if all of the work I'm putting into this little website works out? After all, it has gone from 5 visitors a day to 30. From 30 to 120. And now, we just had 350. It ain't myspace, but it's Orlando only, so that isn't too terrible. We're shooting for the stars and the connections are there. Believing in something doesn't hurt, either.
It seems to be a lot more fun when work is something you like.
So, after a couple of years of me having money, spending on whatever I wanted (and still racking up bills and debt because I'm an idiot), life has forced me to change. I bought a bunch of shit (house stuff like a couch, hammock, coffee table, etc.) so that I can live comfortably and my friends can come over, since I can't really afford to go out right now. But, it'll all come back around again.
I've noticed that I work a lot harder for The Guest List than anything else, so that says something.

I need a beer.
