Dust off the dress shoes and find my tie! I wouldn’t want to seem unkempt on my execution day!

Here is the mass email i sent out to the Atari employees, execs and chairmen.

This is just the smallest fraction of my true power.

Do not ask me about this and do not talk to me about this. I will deny it.

Rumors and buzz flew around the office at high speeds, my office computer was seized and my email locked out, voicemail piled high on my cell phone…

Today, i sent a mass email to all of the atari employees and ex-employees i could get my grubby little hands on. The message was simple. “Who are we?” And it pointed out many truthes regarding the brand, it ended with a link to a forced anonymous discussion board. My hope was that some people might care and might actually start to communicate with one another. I wanted to plant the seed, the idea, that destiny can be changed and that perhaps its much more simple then people realize.

I felt… very small after I sent the message out. All the crazy ideas and aspirations followed with my determination flew from my body as I hit that fated “send” button. Speaking with a few of the co-workers i respect put me a bit at ease. They thanked me and showered me with praise… but agreed I was most likely screwed! In case a certain someone reads this, I want to thank them for a timeless piece of advice that was shared with me.

“Adam. Never learn that political language.”

She was right. I didn’t want to end up being another suit, in an office, talking smoothly while barely comprehending the decisions I was making. Or worse yet, in a meeting filled with other suits trying to come to a consensus about something no one in the room understood.

I came to Atari, excited and filled with Ambition, that i utterly refuse to have stomped out. I guess, I have made the decision that I would sooner lose my job fighting for what I felt was right. Then to have that light extinguished. For that, I am very different and for that I may find myself very much unemployed. I hope, i managed to shake up the dark gods whom control Atari, at least a little bit. hehe. Maybe I am a heretic, but I am clearly no coward.

So, tomorrow, head high. I will make my silly claims and even sillier demands. There is no reason for me to apologize or back down. I will admit, to feeling pretty lost right now, but I think this was a gamble I had to take.

Maybe, if I am fortunate. This won’t be the last entry of this blog!
