The question of whether or not there is a God or truth or reality,
or whatever you like to call it, can never be answered by books,
priests, philosophers, or saviours.
Nobody and nothing can answer the question but you yourself
and that is why you must know yourself.
Immaturity lies only in total ignorance of self.
To understand yourself is the beginning of wisdom.

Krishnamurti, Freedom From the Known

Well HELLO ! Its been awhile my friends. I so appologize for the delay.
Some of you may know this already and to others this may come as no surprise, I was terminated from my employer.
I was up for a promotion and my forms were kicked back. I called them on it and 2 days later I was gone.
Nice. So here I sit, posting resumes like spam email and porn. I did receive a call from GEICO on Friday, and somehow my resume made it from Arizona to New York. Hmmmm..... my dreams of living in NY may be closer than I thought....
I also applied for unemployment this morning and have submitted a complaint to the Arizona Civil Rights, they were very interested in the story I had shared with them, as well as the documentation and audio tapes which I was fortunate enough to be able to provide in ref. to all the alleged violations of this employer to my civil rights, etc. So wish me luck in my searching endeavors.... I love you all.
talk to you later, ~me
