i am a happy boy, as i have lots to be thankful for. in sour situations i'll look past the millstone that hinders my passing until i rationalize its cause, opening the lock, which draws me beyond what was, toward not what will be, but what can be.
of course i get frustrated. of course it takes time. and never is the slate clean. some of these dealings will require a lifetime of lesson-learning dedication.
so, i have my family, friends, and health...the forces necessary for me to work in the direction of my dreams, hopes, and desires. such as:
to have at hand the tools necessary to create anything that will bring about a positive change in the world we live in.
to provide the same for those who care.
to support whichever community i inhabit from this day forth.
to learn and teach as long as i am able to communicate.
to die with hefty smile wrinkles from ear to ear.
i see things that need to change, as i too understand their intentions and influences. for if it weren't for their existence naivety would replace this knowledge of destruction that has become ever more present as technology has progressed with time, and technologies have progressed our ability to massively communicate.
our world is rapidly becoming our community. let us understand the reactions to our actions, yo!

also, i have been living in philly since the end of august. i was blessed with having weaseled my way into the process of attaining self sufficiency in an urban setting. my house buddies and i have a blog describing the process which can be accessed here .
