Wow, I have not written in quite a while on this thing. Whoever actually reads this has probably been sitting in a dark room somewhere waiting for me to come back to this. Luckily for them, and even for the the people who don't read this, I'm back from a slight retirement.

I haven't really been up to much, kind of just looking for a job. I did have an interview and an offer, but I cannot sell things on the street anymore. I've tried it, and it's just not my style. Currently, I'm leaning toward Peace Corps, writer, or just anything until I figure out what direction I have in life.

Let's see what my interests are:

peace, books, history, the Beatles, politics, languages, music, the '60s, large cats, American Eagle, ending the War in Iraq...

Oh, and I'm currently rooting for Barack Obama. My only worry is that no one is paying attention to the Republicans, and then the Rove machine will start up again. Also, though I want to see an African American or a woman as President, I don't know how the rest of America feels just yet. I mean, it's only been a couple of months since the Jena 5 incident. However, as I talk to some other people, I guess it would give the U.S. some credibility points in the rest of the world, since we kind of lost all those with Iraq.

Regardless of the political atmosphere of the U.S. currently though (which I honestly haven't been paying attention to b/c of the job search), I feel that it is all of our responsibility to help the less fortunate. I think my blog exudes that to the fullest extent, and if it doesn't, well then I haven't been doing my job.

So my friend had a dream the other day that I had died, which surprised me and made me think twice about driving anywhere for the consecutive days afterward. I know this sounds crazy, but I have felt in the past that I could die at any moment, hence the fear once my friend called me. However, he said according to dream studies (a pseudoscience, I know) that his dream means that I will live a long life. Who knows what will happen to me, but I've given a lot of thought about death lately. I've realized I am going to live life to the fullest from this day forward, that I am definitely donating my organs when I die, and that I want a substantial portion of whatever I have to be donated to the needy. I know I should take care of my own first, but the needy don't have anyone else, so why shouldn't I help them out.

Wow. Complete ramble of utterances here. I think I'm gonna get started on that novel I've been meaning to write.

Oh yeah, and peace and love are great. Ciao!
