Dial M for Money
Oct 13, 2006 ( 3.16 AM) This evening on my way home after a night out with a friend, a man sought to talk to me. He said he simply wanted to tell me his story. In the end, it came down to the fact that despite his earlier statements about not wanting money, he did in fact want it. I didn’t have any cash on me to help him out, and so he left, in search of another benefactor. This isn’t a unique event by any means, but it made me add a few more comments to my internal dialogue. continue reading » |
The Journey Has Just Begun
Aug 14, 2006 (12.38 AM) As I relax tonight, bathed in low candle light, in what has become quite a groovy pad (if I do say so myself), I am reflecting on life. It seems like another person who, but six years ago, was working in a hardware store, shelving nails. A boy, with hopes and aspirations.

It is good to be here, now; and I am going to miss it. |

Awake at Night Feb 13, 2006 ( 5.07 AM) I don’t sleep well at night. There have been very few times that I ever have, and no matter how long I sleep, I’m never well rested. But at least of late, I’m up thinking about thinks that are much easier on the mind, as compared to a few years ago. continue reading » |

Change is Fundamental Dec 20, 2006 (10.12 PM)
Civilization is possible because cultures have evolved - growing better over time, while adapting to new circumstances. Because of our ability to learn and comprehend, humanity has shaped the world around it in an ongoing attempt to create what it sees as Eden. It is this continual change that drives us on to discover. However, many on the sidelines become over-satisfied with the status-quo, and halt this natural (and beneficial) process. |
