Life change?

[London Geezer]

Oi geeks,

's been a while since i poured my heart and my not-so-troubled life on these pages, but here i go again.

Problem this time is... Well, it's not actually a problem, it's more of a dilemma.

I'm bored as fuck in my current job (a 9 to 5 mon-fri job), i just can't take it anymore, it just feels SO pointless and unfulfilling. Though it allows me to live quite comfortably, have holidays wherever i want every so often, buy the stuff i like, eat the stuff i like, and generally live comfortably.

I have been offered a modelling contract. Nothing major, but well it looks like i could do well in that field. Problem is that my current job will obviously hurt my possibilities to break it properly into the modelling world, mostly because i can't be "out there" as much as i'd need to. I'll be able to take time off every so often to go to castings and shootings, but obviously it won't be unlimited and it will be subject to my boss being in a good mood.

It would be nice to just leave this job and try it properly with the modelling, but that obviously carries a huge risk. All my friends who did this found it quite hard, though when they do make a break, they're happy.

I love my money and my stuff, but at the same time i would just love to live - even for a short while - a life where i don't have to get up every morning at 7, go to work, sit in front of a PC all day, post of B3D and email mates all day, maybe do some work, then go home knackered as hell. And the thought of being paid just for the way i look is just very shallowly appealing.

Don't know, in the end i keep thinking "i won't look like this forever, so if i ever do it, i better do it now"... But at the same time the not-having-money thing kinda worries me.

I'll see how requested i am, while still keeping this job, then we'll see what happens i guess. Don't have much to lose, i can find office jobs quite easily.

Only way to do it right is to do it wholeheartedly. Any less and you'll just regret not doing it properly when it fails.

If you can't turn up on the whim of the people who count, then you're worthless.

If all else fails you can get another job as equally (un)fulfilling as your current job.

Of course it helps to have a few K put aside to smooth things out.

Better to do something you want to do, than sitting around doing something you hate.

Thanks... And yeah a few K in the bank to make sure i eat while i dont get jobs wouldn't hurt...

I just signed the contract, i'll get lots of pictures out of it which will help me find more jobs and more agencies, so i think i might be onto something...

Time to call mum...

I have twenty bucks (Good european Euros, which is like 50 000 of the dollars you american call, candidly, money) on the table who say that after a while, l-b will run out of money due to the model way of life: clubbing, cocaine, limousines, Ibiza snort parties.

Thus forcing him to do buck naked pictures, then a few flicks for the German porn scene and finally do the lowest and most degrading job, if we could call that a job, ever... Be a part-time redactor in a 3D hardware related UK website, for free. Sad...

Hey hey hey give me some credit!! I'm doing that already and i'm quite normal!

Jvd wants any nude photos that're taken.

If I were you, I'd do it. You'll only regret not taking the chance once time/age removes those model-quality looks from you.

I missed my chance some twenty years ago. I was offered the oh-so-tempting opportunity of being a gigolo to all-male clientele.

I can empathise with this one totally.

I have been offered a modelling contract.

This, however, I don't think I'll ever be able to empathise with.

Damn don't you just hate it when you lose such opportunities!?

JVD doens't need naked pics of me, he gets a live webcam feed every night.

OI!!

On a serious note, that is one thing i could never do. Even physically, unless i'm into someone, i can't have sex with them.

well.... i wasnt serious. and ya, having sex with someone without feeling at least something is IMO total crap....

Question: if you were to quit your current job today, ("quit" being done all proper like with notice given and such and not just "BYE SUCKERS!"), would you have a problem finding a similar job in a few months? Do you have enough of a nest egg stocked up to live un-employed for a while?

If "yes" to those I'd definately say go for it, if "yes" and "no" then I'd still go for it...but I'm a little nuts too.

Besides, I don't think I have any male model friends....you need to become a model!

Enjoy your future job as a newser over Nexus or L'Inquirer

*head explodes due to the overpressure caused by that lie*

Your future traumatic life experience should remain as an example for all of us.

Well i have enough to last me 3 maybe 4 months if i'm careful. Oh actually no i'm off to spain in september so make that 2 or 3 months.

Obviously i'd leave my job the proper way, and it would be very very easy for me to find another job like this, with the experience i have - and the brain. Not that i even needed brains to get a job, i was always employed for the way i look (serious, bosses told me), so i'm thinking, might as well go all out and get jobs for the way i look officially.

It will be a slow-ish process cause i'm the guy who likes to assess my options and what i can get out of whatever i do.

So i'll work hard and shuffle between the two, then depending on the possibilities and how requested i might become, i'd leave this job and focus on the modelling. Won't last long anyway.

Dude, you so will regret not trying it that you simply have to. You're in a position where you can and if worse comes to worse you'll have to work somewhere new but I doubt you'll have trouble finding something as good or better than you have.

Shake the tree friend, shake it hard!

Life's too short not to try and live it in the most enjoyable way you can, and I think you'd have a lot more fun modelling than at what you're doing. Besides, who knows? Mebbe you'll get sent on a shoot over on this side of the puddle and I'll finally get to show you how men should give hugs.

Fine fine i'll shake it alright!

I'll definately consider focusing my life into this now. Afterall, with all the work i've put into looking this good, gotta get something back!!
