"What is where, why there, and why care?"

Welcome once again,

Success! I am going to hopefully be starting to tutor highschool kids in English. I just need to make some flyers. One of my previous teachers got back to me and said she would be delighted to pass the word along, and I may even get some clients in the literacy room at WOSS. This feels like a small victory to me in my blazing new path and I could not be happier to pursue it. Finally I didn't procrastinate on something. There may be hope for me yet.


This last week in all honesty has been rather uneventful in terms of everyday life. I generally have been hanging around school alot longer and spending time with a few different people. It's fun.

So how about that U.S. Election? People have been asking me non-stop what I think about Barack Obama. My response to this is simple, "He's a politician." Don't get me wrong it is tremendous that he is the first African-American President, but a politician is a politician and he has a mountain of work in front of him. Decisions must be made. He is certainly a more interesting individual then our beloved conservative crone Stevie Harper. What a joke.

Life in many respects has been looking up, in other ways it has been difficult and generally just a huge adjustment. Though however cliche it sounds, there is always light at the end of the tunnel, no matter how long that tunnel is. For the time being, I am alright.

So next on the list is a possible return to the world of music. My proposal is a stripped down, straight shootin', street punk band. Any takers? we will see. I'm workin on this one, my skills need to be sharpened.

anyways,


Hope all of you are doing well! Give me some feedback.

My words to leave with this time are as follows:

I'd like to say people can change anything they want to; and that means everything in the world. People are running about following their little tracks. I am one of them. But we've all gotta stop... just stop following our own little mouse trail. People can do anything; this is something that I'm beginning to learn. People are out there doing bad things to each other; it's because they've been dehumanized. It's time to take that humanity back into the centre of the ring and follow that for a time. Greed... it ain't going anywhere! They should have that on a big billboard across Times Square. Think on that. Without people you're nothing.
