What can one say about the prospect of new things?  On the one hand, going into new situations puts you at incredible risk.  And tying your fate to a new someone/thing can put things out of your control.  But, at the same time one could argue that the joy you’d feel would never be higher.  So, you’ve got to take the leap sometimes, even if you know you might fall.

A couple of side notes:  1–I highly recommend reading Good Omens–the Nice and accurate prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett.  It’s like a Douglas Adams book, but in a different vien, more straightforward.  2–A number of interesting ideas for companies: Adult camping, software estimating for BI, forecasting, we’ll see if any pan out.  3–If you have a large shower but would also like to take baths in it, you do have a solution in a large rubbermaid tub, which can be found at target, although it’s not anywhere near as comfortable as a regular bathtub.

So far it’s been a good summer–ahh, aside from needing to rest my heel and getting bonked on the head in the pool, by my girlfriend, yes, i do have a girlfriend now–i’d say everything has been going swimmingly :) 

It’s been different having a girlfriend–relationships are kind of like juggling things, you don’t have the freedom to do whatever you want whenever you want.  I really enjoy my freedom, so that’s probably been a big reason, why I haven’t done them, and also, if I didn’t feel it was right, then I don’t see why you would do it.  Also, it’s good to go slowly, I really lack patience, but for the right person, if you can get some, somehow I’ve found that’s much better, at least for me. 

I also recommend finding/meeting the person naturally if possible, that seems to have worked better for me, not that the other avenues don’t work, but they are definitely more contrived and it’s hard, I found those avenues worked better for  making friends.

So, one of my good fellow vegetarian friends is in India—here is what he Imed me recently, "so much vegetarian indian food, soooooooooooooooooo much,
sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much
and my stomach is like.. whoa there".  Yes, I agree, I told him to pack the pepto

Life has been good, I can’t complain-ahh, many things in the works possibilities for a new job and well, we will, see what else happens.

Ahh, I’ve been very busy lately–well, with grad school, soccer(got a tourney coming up), and life in general.  I helped my dad setup a fish tank–I highly recommend the eclipse tank if you have the means. 

Work, has been a bit slow, but maybe a change is coming soon.  Well, change is coming at any rate–with my quasi-switching roles, it’ll be interesting to see if i find better takers out in the marketplace.  I went to a thing where a colleague went on her way, it’s always a learning experience.

Otherwise, I can’t complain, I need to work more on grad school stuff, but I still have until next weekend. 

I’ve been eating some more of the veggie meatball subs–those are good.

Well, it is a big question–does it exist or does it not?  I tend to think that something does exist.  I believe we do go out, and go somewhere else–and that while we do have new experiences, the primary one is as of an observer.  Even if we aren’t alive we most likely aren’t able to influence what happens from that point on.

But, I also believe that this is the world where things are happening–so when we cease to exist, we’ve left this world hopefully to go on to a better place.  What do we leave?  Well, we leave our energy, actions, and people to carry us on. 

It seems as though you have conflicting points–that the soul is separate from the body and mind, that it leaves and rises out.   Near death experiences–don’t happen everytime that people are clinically dead, but people do say they’ve had them.  Is it just the chemical response of the body being dead, with a flash of light, or do our souls/beings move on?
