Hey all,

Well, I didn't end up going to the city for Halloween. The drinking and vics the night before really did a number on me and Keith.

I picked up my first research book for the book I want to write, so I have been reading that. Its about Incest(parent vs child). It is disturbing to read, but I am finding it somewhat inciteful.

I wanted to hit the gym in the morning, but I am crazt tired, so I will have to hit the treadmill after work. Oh, Ii hate work, but it could be worse. At least I am not working at Mcdonalds. Not that there is anything wrong with Donalds-I just am not a big fan of the fast food industry. I like diners, as I have already mentioned.

I want to start my holiday shopping asap. I need to hit up the craft stores, something tells me Ii will be giving those lovley "homemade" gifts this year. I mean, if I was super crafty that would be fine, but I am not super crafty. I am only so-so crafty. I can collage like a mofo though!

I have been feeling a bit christmasy, which is wierd, because the Holidays make me want to kill myself generally, but I do love all the programs that come on the t.v. that time of year.

I am going to go and see my sister tonight too, after the gym. She came home earlier this week for a one day pass. She was not feeling that great for the first few hours when she came to the house, but by the time she left I think she was ok.

I have been having the increasing desire to become more involved with my community or with the World as a whole. I am not sure where to start. I use to volunteer at this place called the "Lunchbox" in middle school, but Ii hated it. The of the men who came there were sorta perverted, but on the creepy tip, and I never felt really very safe there. I think I am going to donate some clothes to start off with. Ii need to organize my shit anyhow. I am really interested in traveling to Africa one day, hopefully next year or in 2006, and helping the women who are being forced to become circumsized. Or, I wouldn't mind helping building schools or homes or whatever. I am not a big fan of heat, and as everyone knows, Africa is pretty fucking hot, but I am a big fan of the idea in helping people out who really really need it. I mean, everyone needs help, but certain things need the aid of several people, and I woulnd't mind being one of them. I was really touched by the way Angelina Jolie became involved with the refugees in Cambodia. I have always really related to her, and liked her as a person, not just as an actor, so to see her do something like that was somewhat inspiring.

I want to write more, but I really need to nap. I don't know whay I get up so early if I never get out of the house till the last possible second. Its not like I am taking hours to get ready. I just walk around my crib drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes, and watching the cosby show on UPN.

PEACE!
