I totally forgot to make an introduction post. So, this is actually my second blog post. I took the above photo during my bike tour from Pittsburgh to D.C. last July.

Why am I here? This is just one part of a grand scheme to change my life. I goofed around for most of my twenties before deciding to go back to school for video production. I did so and got a nice office job that led to a promotion to the job of instructional designer for all the company's training materials. I even completed a bachelor's degree in communication while working at this job. Well, it'll be 10 years in July and to say I'm unsatisfied would be an understatement. I'm not exactly sure what it means to say a job is soulsucking, but I think that's the best way to describe my current job.

So, I have been saving money and plan to to quit my job on my 10-year anniversary in July. What will I do instead? In no particular order, I will:

  • ride my bike
  • uberlyft
  • maybe work at the local co-op
  • look for freelance and remote work
  • steemit
  • keep my stock investments
  • collect rent from the house I own
  • create music
  • live my life for me and be creative again
I bought a brand new Surface Pro today so I can unchain myself from a desk. I want to take it with me on bike tours so I can blog from the road. I also plan to write about movies and post some photography and music I create. I have an electronic drum kit and two small synths. I only learned to play both in the last few years but it's a great creative outlet.

Anyway, I hope people enjoy my steemit blog!

Welcome to Steemit!

Thank you! I might be slow going at first, but plan to post more when I leave my job.

Hey man, I'm Oatmeal Joey Arnold, and I started making videos when I was ten. So, I'm a big fan of that. I'm from Oregon and I'm 33 now. Was a freelance English Teacher in Vietnam for 5 years. I used to go to a co-op mart in Vietnam. And I was biking all over in Saigon. And I bought Bitcoin. I play guitar and create music too. Did you make a review on Black Panther and on Star Wars?

Nice to meet you Oatmeal Joey. I replied to a Black Panther post but have only made one movie blog post, about Annihilation.

interesting

I really want to write more about classic movies, but I may create posts about anything I see, current ones included. I generally am not good at writing reviews so much as I want to get right into the spoilers, discuss the the themes and analyze the movie. So, I might have to leave spoiler-free reviews for those who are better at that.

Do you write about Star Wars?

I haven't. I'm more a fan of the original trilogy. I would write about it but I'm not sure what I could write about that hasn't been covered by so many others.

Everything has been covered in some ways. But that does not mean we should all die.

Welcome to Steemit @robmolecule I hope you have a great time and have a lot of success in this incredible platform, Greetings !!

Welcome robmolecule, the more time I spend here the more I think that the overall architecture of this platform is truly amazing.

Hey Rob, good luck with your goals. Totally relate to wanting to escape the soul sucking job. Luckily we live in a time where it is very practical to create a comfortable lifestyle without the need to work 40+ hours a week. Let's go!

Hey Rob!
Good job and good luck for the new lifestyle!
Bike touring is sooo good, enjoy!!!

Good luck! I really enjoy hearing about people taking control of their lives and doing what THEY want, not what is expected of them.

Thanks! I'm still moving forward toward this goal!

We all are. Let's stay on track!
