   Standing in the dark, rainy shadows of a city alleyway, I spied the

   >Me? I got canned. Made redundant. Laid off.   
      
   Yeah, well, shit happens.  (No really, with the right frame of mind,   
   it absolutely doesn't matter in the story of your life - happens to   
   all the best people at some time.)   
      
   >But, what the hey, I hated it there anyways.   
      
   You were working for someone else?  Well, then of course you hated it.   
      
   >Now! To start my own business... :)   
      
   Definitely something worthwhile attempting and perhaps seriously   
   succeeding at - or even just succeeding at enough to make a living   
   (without bowing to "The Man".  Unless of course you become "The Man"   
   himself.)  Umm... where was I?  Oh yeah, word of wisdom from the wise   
   - get yourself a job that pays the rent and then start creating your   
   own business.  The Internet is full of opportunity these days for   
   almost anything you are passionate about (and you really do need to be   
   passionate about whatever you want to create as your own business).   
   But if you don't have the money to pay the bills, the lead-time in   
   starting a business, or the second or third one, really screws an   
   awful lot of people with good ideas.  Of course, if you are in fact   
   just joking, (though why), then good luck in finding your next career   
   move.
