A friend on livejournal does a 1 card balance card draw once a month. I've always been curious about them so I decided to ask for one. Here it is.

"You'd like one! And gave me no idea what it was about. So when I pull the Embrace I admit I am curious. This is the card that says: Throw yourself into life! Open your arms and take it all in! Good, bad, broken, ascendant, joy and sorrow, life in all its guises. Live it to the point of tears, good and bad. By no means must you push it away or hold it apart. You are no outsider to walk alone; you are no less human than anyone else.No isolation! No artificial alienation! Leap, engage, embrace!"
Not bad advice! I think I will.
I DEFINITELY threw myself into life this weekend. Overall a fantastic time. From the wild insanity of Thursday night to the lazy chilling and sangria of family dinner on Sunday, this was definitely a great weekend.

Honduras is not our business
Political leaders keep jumping up saying how the military coup in Honduras is wrong and the original president should be returned to power.
They need to butt out of shit that doesn't concern them. The three branches of government of Honduras say that the old president was acting illegally, that he was misusing government funds, abusing power, aiding drug trafficking, and attempting to remove re-election limits on the Honduran constitution with an illegal ballot that only his branch of government would have control over. The courts, the legislator, and the military all said no to him and yet he continued pushing so then they arrested him, removed him from office, and exiled him.
None of this is Chavez's business, Castro's business, or Obama's business. This was an internal act, done in accordance to Honduran law.
Chavez is a wind-bag that spouts bullshit non-stop. He hates not being the pretty princess of Latin America and is pissed off one of his flunkies and member of his "I'd rim Chavez if it would make him happy" club was removed from power.
Obama is trying to avoid the criticism he got from waiting too long to say anything about the situation in Iran. So he choosing to speak out against a banana republic trying to avoid become the next Venezuela instead of taking a stand against a possible nuclear power (Iran).
This is all stupid and making my life more difficult as I have student in Honduras.
This summer has sucked. Between student deaths, student anxiety attacks, partners not quoting my the right information / prices, swine flue in my region and threatening my programs, Survivor-esque games being played, and military coups this summer has made my shoulders become knots and my hair to go grayer. I'm over this shit.

Trying to find a thread
My old blog has become a collection of links to my flickr and youtube account. Once, it used to be an actual blog- which would spiral into a series of non sequitur. I'm not sure what this blog will be, if anything at all.
I haven't really reflected in a long time. I've been so busy for the last few years that thinking about my life was never really something I did unless it was directly related to a school assignment. Even with my graduation in December and end of my research in May I haven't really stopped to think about anything. I'm not sure I really remember how but it's worth a shot.
I've spent so long moving towards a goal (getting degrees) that I'm not sure what to do now. I met my goal. I got the degrees. I never really thought passed grad school. My goal was getting the degrees not really doing something with them. So now that I'm done, I'm sort of trying to find another goal.
Still, even just going through the day to day at the moment is pretty alright. I'm enjoying it. Life is pretty good, even if I don't have a huge over arching goal.
