An update on recent blog post

Dear Friends,

Here is an update from my recent post regarding Attila. I should have mentioned that if you are going to make a deposit into his account with Bank of America, when doing so, you must inform the teller that this account under:

Justin Hurst
Account number: 72600331

You must indicate that this account is from Idaho.

Plus, Attila understands that many of us are unable to deposit a lot of money, due to our current financial situation, gas prices, cost of living, etc. Attila is just asking to donate whatever you can, $5, $10 or even $20 dollars. Recently, I was in contact with many our friends who are willing to help him out. At the same time, there have been critics. I won’t go into detail, because this not about a debate, this about helping a friend. I am asking that we put aside all what we may think our friend ought to be doing, or what he should be doing, or investigate further into how he got into trouble in the first place or even about how he has more advantages over the rest of us. I say this, because, we all have benefited from his generosity, his friendship and his kind offerings; and yes even with his advantages.

Many are wondering about my position on this matter and why I am taking the time to post such bulletin. As many of you already know, I too have traveled to many places around the world and around America. I have been in many precarious situations and I have been stuck too. I ran into trouble by accident, situations occurred where I needed money. There have been times, when I called a friend or friends for help, and they helped out, some argued, because they were stuck working at their job and not being able to get out into the world. I listened and understood where they were coming from. Often times, it was suggested that I should have stayed at home, worked more, settle down, get married, plan things out carefully for the next time, etc. I agreed to their criticism not in order to get the money, I agreed because, in many ways, I am no different from other people. I too work full time Monday through Friday, sometimes even on the weekends; and yes even my jealously comes into play from time to time. Though, I try to carefully express my feelings when offering advice or even money for that matter. Plus, I know that the name of my blog "Enjoy Life, Work Less" doesn't help build a case to help our friend either. But, we know all too well that our friend, Attila is very careful type of person and just maybe, he overlooked the possibility of money running out. But friends, even with our criticism, we all know what it’s like when shit just happens. I apologize if I have expressed too much on the matter, but like you, I just happen to care for a good friend who is in need.

Thanks,
