I totally agree. You should absolutely RUN from those who have given you such ***** over the years, especially from your ailing father who is taking up so much space in your house. Employers will be falling over themselves trying to hire someone who has had the life experience of living on the dole homeless on a bike and the hot women you meet touring will be panting in hormone-fueled lust over the very idea that a rake such as yourself had the temerity to throw over his support system to strike out on his own.
