Living the Busy Life...

Man, it sure has been a while. So much is going on with preparations for the future. I will be leaving in only four days to go to FINLAND! I cannot wait. I have always wanted to visit some place in that region and the opportunity has arisen so I am taking it. I will only be there for a couple days then back to the "rushed" lifestyle of the America's. Well, better be going for now...

How Big Are We?

As I am sitting around here at my job, not doing much of anything, I read the paper and begin to think of how much there is that that I do not know. I read of war here and there, starvation seemingly everywhere and a never ending supply of political upheaval. Although physically existing in this ever changing world is it possible, that we as humans are not in "communication" with that which we call home?
Lives are changing every day for the better and for the worse and one must think to themselves, “how is my life changing?” Am I participating in “life” to make it better or worse or am I just doing it “because?” I feel as though I am being drawn to a higher purpose, possibly to put off my own self and take on the lives of a few people who do not have it quite as good as myself. I feel as though a sacrifice is in order for needy people all around the world.
But as I take on this journey to supply to those of whom I do not even know, what happens to my own life. Do I begin to suffer as they do? Or do I just do “life” because I have been placed in the first world country that all around the world know as “AMERICA?” Is this stereotype a curse on my life and that which I may do for its entirety? Or will it be a tool, useful for changing the lives of many across the globe? I hope and pray that it is the latter of the two options… But only time will tell.
All that I have to do is to “decide what to do with the time that has been given to me.”

Finding the Meaning of Life...

Suppose that you are in a situation where you must answer the question "What is life?" Now quite possibly you believe that this question warrants a simple answer with need for little thought. But I seem to feel that this question is just a little more important than we all seem to think. "Life," as practiced in the American culture has just become another part of everyday and we to fit it in our busy schedules some way or another but ultimately we are not even taking part in it.

Taking time out of the day to experience life is something that can be found all around the world except in the majority of American culture. There is always something to do and always somewhere to be. Never do we sit down to spend time with the family or just have a casual conversation with a friend. We are all to scheduled. We must plan everything, we can never just plan on not doing anything and taking life in as it comes, because we must be in control of all things that enter our lives.

This mentality has devastated the home life of millions of families throughout the United States. Now of course I am not saying that America is the only country that contains this type of lifestyle, but beyond a doubt, there is no other country in the world that is affected as bad as the United States.

Quite possibly this is the detrimental reason that our country is in such a state of unknown... It seems as though every day something occurs that just makes you think if all this stuff is ever going to just go back to normal. With the war against terror, (that by the way is very important) and the "Crisis in the Middle East," (which by the way is a terrible name, for if one country is blowing the bits out of another, then it is called WAR!) all the political squabble prejudice, hate, fear, and bad attitudes, how could we as Americans ever think that our country is going to be back to the "normal way of life?"

Some may say, that it is just the way life is, but how do we know life if we don't even allow time for it?... So you tell me, “What is life?” Does it have a definition?

Another hot day in DIXIE...

Most would not think of how hot it can be in the wonderful state of Georgia nestled in the far south Eastern United States, but for the past week, I guess that you could say it has just been a little more than hot! Not only have we had temperatures of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or for you Europeans, 38 degrees Celsius..., but there has also been at least 60% humidity for the past week even getting in the up range of the 90 percents...

One can only imagine that living here in this tropical paradise, one would be so far from the "tropical" that we all think of. No relaxing beaches, no cool breeze throughout the day, and definitely no break from work that would let you just sit around and watch the endless waves crash upon the never ending sliver of sand beneath your feet... Oh and might I mention that most would not even want to venture out realizing that our lovely paradise is not only top rated, but the 6th most polluted ozone area in the country... Everyone take deep breaths...

I guess that not only does this type of weather bring us to closer wits end, but also closer to one another, because we are all huddled together in the house trying to find a refreshing source of cool air that we over here in the states call "A/C." Of course we are all to spoiled in our luxuries and have come to a point in our lives where there are just some things that we are not willing to give up.

Air Conditioning and Cold Sweet Ice Tea, take these away from us people down here in the place called DIXIE, and you've got yourself and genuine problematic situration... If ya no wat I meen...

So, Where Should I Start...

Well here i am just wandering around in the allmighty Sahara... Not really that bad of a place, I would say, just get use to the heat, sandstorms, scorpions, and asps, and you will right on your way to a great time. I guess that there are only few who could say that this type of environment is inviting, but in my case I desire to call it my home...
