Unrestricted

so, i've been doing my best to 'cool it' with the retirement jibba jabba, to the nodding acceptance of a select few. from now on, no more of this retired outlook. i'm going to consider myself a free agent, a guy who's taking some much needed time to really cruise the market, to find something super teriffic, in the continuing journey that is my career.

and no, i'm not a superstar athlete. nor am i an actor or, (choke), a model. yet, with my quote/unquote normal path in life, it pains me to think that nobody is working for me; not literally working as my employee, i mean working for me, the brand that is Rich.
so what if i can't raise my slapshot and won't earn a supporting Oscar anytime soon. does that prevent me from having someone looking out for my best interests? (moms don't count).

power to the people i say. i need a gosh darn agent. (yes, I feel it's best to start censoring the odd line here and there; a sign of things to come).
think how awesome it would be, for us white collars, to have the strength of another person by our sides to ensure we get what we deserve out of our Monday to Friday's.
you want my client to work overtime? check the contract, bud.
my client hit a few of his targets this year. you know what that means - minimum 15% increase or we walk.

enter Unrestricted. not only did i dream up the idea of real-people agents, but i may have also created my own little fantasy out of it (aka a screenplay). i actually had this idea and drafted this little treatment before becoming a free agent, so no points for making the most of my downtime while unemployed. that said, i thought it was time to share this with the Freedom followers. do with it what you will, but i will absolutely take full credit for the revolution that may ensue.
a final note - i felt it best to censor the screenplay in certain locations, as there may be some sensitive eyes on this one. please don't hold it against me, and please don't think i'm a total p----.
