On Being Fired
Sometimes things just don’t, well, you know, go right. Sometimes as human beings we tend to fall flat on our face. I tripped pretty hard yesterday morning. And, well, it sucks.
I hate when things don’t go the way I want them to. I hate when I invest a great amount of time and effort into something, but it still isn’t good enough. I hate when I put all of my heart and passion into something and nothing comes out of it. It seems like a large amount of people hate me. I don’t know why. But oh well. It just wasn’t good enough.
People say “Business is business”. I say this: Fuck it.
Business is what you make it out to be. Success can’t be measured by how much money you make. Real friends stick to something, even when it all goes bad in the end. Real friends aren’t assholes. Who cares if someone has to pay for it.
One of my coaches said something really great: “if there’s two things you need to know, it’s simply this: love God and love your friends”. Adam Sandler also said this in the venerable Click: “Family comes first”.
Did I lose a few friends in this whole nameless ordeal? Probably. It was really fun guys. You know who you are. Some of you know that I really don’t like you now. Some of you know that I lost a role model and a really good friend.
I don’t know where I’m off to now. I’m kind of lost. My reputation is apparently horrible. But that’s the great thing about it: I love a challenge. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. The statistics say that I probably will go on to fail again, but the great thing about it is that small chance that I won’t. And that’s a chance I’m willing to take.
A good friend of mine said this: Business is business, but there is a human being on the other end.

Matt had a thought ¬
It was rather unfortunate as to what happened last week. However better opportunities will come your way.
Good Luck down the road.
