what do i do?
So, as everyone knows i have not posted much and its because i have been busy. Work... It's interesting that it zaps the motivation and drive to do anything that your heart yearns for. I have been thinking about the question people ask me often. "What do you do?" I regret this question, or is it really that i regret my answer. In america what we do is is equal to what do we do to make money. So my answer is I work at Sears Parts and Service. "oh" is usually the reponse. I usually jump up and down over the excitement of that.... not really. But does that really define me. Nope, I am a being who is settling with my current job for the sake of the chance to be free to work on creating art, and helping others. A retailish position, allows me to have some flexibility, and i am blessed to not be strapped for cash. Instead of having steak often, i have rice or salads often. We just need to learn to live within our means. Half of the world lives on less than $2 a day. I may just have to have a project where i start off with nothing, and have to budget myself to live on $2 a day. Starting with absolutely nothing except the clothes on my back. No place to stay, no blankets, no water, just my shirt, pants , undees, license, empty wallet, and most likely my sandals. Would you dare do that to yourself for a reality check? i just may.... peace

Hey - I'm sorry you "regret" your answer about where you work. I hope that you really regret it, as in you regret working where you do, as opposed to being ashamed of it. I don't think there's anything for you to regret unless you truly hate your job. I just wonder if you find no pride in it. I'm just feeling a sense of pride and conceit in a question like the one you asked in the end... almost like how wonderful you would be, an almost holier-than-thou attitude... I hope that I am incorrect. Who cares if all you get when you tell someone where you work is "oh." I hope that you don't need more praise than that. You can help others in your current position, and I hope you can take advantage of that instead of being weighed down with how "regretful" you are to be there. I hope that I am wrong with these statements and that it is just my inability to comprehend something that is merely typed.
