a walking poster boy for all thats good

I thought I would try writing earlier tonight...
Im really trying to get something...anything...done.
(story-wise)

Im not sure if you meant for me to reply...
but I couldnt help but consider some of the
things you said.

"I find it difficult to separate the person that
I am and want to become from the career I choose... "

I know what you mean...
or I understand something so similar
that I could have used your exact words.

hmm...I had this whole little rant worked
out where I contrasted the different ways that
cultures felt the self was defined...
using fancy foreign words like "varna" and "ashrama"

but Im not sure enough that it made sense...
not sure enough to write it out, and encourage you to read it.
hmm...maybe Ill write out a much shortened version.

I don't agree with the varna system in india...
but I do find the idea that
who we are decides
what we do
more compelling than the western
alternative.

nope...I dont like where this is going...
let me think about it for 55 days.

I think Ive mentioned it before, but Id love to get as
many e-mails from darren (or anyone else in your family)
as your willing to send me.
I hope you don't mind that I dont reciprocate...
my siblings swear like drunken sailors.

also...please...get your hopes up.
as far as Im concerned...you have every reason to.
I announced to several people today that I was staying
until December.
I mean to do so.
I have alot of reasons to stay here...
but I made most of them up today ;)

Id also like to warn you that if I have to go to Carls wedding
you have to come to Matt TS's with me.
(I think its late December...Im the best man...but you knew that)

alright...I go run now.

seriously...Nizlopi...I have to stop listening to it.



Im going to try not to write later...
but no promises.
I need to finish my not-so-good story.

I try to assume that we're going to be together for much time faith...
but some days that seems as rational as assuming Ill win the lottery...
;)
have the best of days!
