have you ever wondered what it was you were put on this earth to do? i mean really wondered about it? Why is it that some people become world leaders, and others teachers, what makes one a millionaire, and the other homeless?
take me for instance...i grew up with the people around me wishing me to do great things, travel the world, become a doctor...while...

oh BOY do I wonder about what I was put on earth to do. I especially wonder everytime I experience a major set back; I'm always like "is this a sign? am I on the wrong path?".

I've settled on the idea that my purpose is to examine my existence; to strive for growth, even if it means walking away from my life for awhile, gaining some perspective, and then coming back and starting again. To struggle to live according to your truth, all the while desperately questioning and re-examining and redefining your truth. That it doesn't matter what you DO, so much as what you LEARN from it. In your dream where you teach the kids to start a journal; I really liked that that was the most you could tell them. It was kind of like "hey, don't look to ME for answers! We're all in the same boat, kids. Learn from yourself. Search for your own truth." I mean, that's probably the most honest advice you could really give anyone searching to begin their life.

i was a teacher in my most recent dream...
I was there as a sub at first...and then something happened and i was the teacher now...for a class of kids of various ages...various grades, and one of the older ones, a boy had come over to me to welcome me...and he handed me a set of books...
"before our teacher had left," he said," he...

speaking of energy, I wonder what gov. davis is up to....he's been rather quiet...

i had the strangest dream last night...
i was with my ex student, the one whose middle school graduation i had gone to...it was her first day of school, but it wasn't high school...it seemed to be elementary...
and, i guess i was there with her parents, seeing her off...
out of nowhere a man with frizzy hair and long goatee comes up to me,...

ooh cool it was like a big social commentary dream! Protecting a playground with tanks is taking 'tightened school security' a little far though.... let's hope it never comes to that!

the job market is horrible right now...i'm learning this the hard way...the only choices are going to school (which costs money), and the military, which although i have the greatest respect for, and god bless all the men and women who risk their lives to preserve the ideals of democracy...is sadly run by corporation who don't give a #$#%$ about any of or their sacrifices....

yesterday i went to the graduation of a former student of mine (in karate). she was graduating middle school and after weeks of pestering, in a very nice way of course, i went.
it was a nice ceremony, i sate there with her mother and father, and the father is quite funny, he's all dissing the middle school band who, quite honestly, were playing bady...but...

i just went to an 8th grade graduation ceremony on friday. as i sat there and looked at every kid as they filled down the long aisle i thought similar things. its amazing how you can actually tell now who will become a jock, who a popular cheerleader, which ones will become sluts, which ones wont make it, and which ones will absolutly hate it. yet for whatever reason they all seem to be in such a hurry to become these titles.

today it ocurred to me just how fulfilling manual labor is...to work with the big heavy tools, and lifting, and balancing...the mud on your hands and feet
to be able to take your shirt off and not worry about ties or starched shirts... feeling the blisters, and the way your body aches after a good days work...
the frustration and the satisfaction after it all...

It's always me, and I still have yet to figure out what makes a good story, or else I would have written one by now.

I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.

Did you get that idea from that book (the last samurai) you were telling me about? At any rate, I'll be sure to check it out. Sounds like you had a pretty good physical labour day on Sunday though, right?

And hey, I hear you about getting fed up with traffic, bills, and antidepressants! Just keep your chin up, mansmile
