Crossing the Rubicon

After all this while, this is my chance to move on and cross the rubicon..

To "Cross the Rubicon" is to pass a point of no return -- to commit yourself to something. In late 50 B.C., the Roman senate ordered Julius Caesar (then Governor of Gaul, a military hero whom the Senate feared) to disband his army and return to Rome. He knows if he returns to Rome without the immunity of the Consul, he will be likely to be imprisioned because of political reasons. To go back to Rome.. he will have to cross the Fiume Rubicone(literally “River Rubicon”), hence the saying crossing the Rubicon.


OK so the story... im no Julius Ceasar and no I dont recall of any river with the name Rubicon near vicinity of my place.. Its just that..Im changing my company soon!
