I honestly just haven't been in a place to blog as of late. Not sure why, just haven't.
But I am writing now. :)
The move that was eluded to in a previous post has come and gone...gone as in not happening. A cousin of mine had offered a job with a new appliance company he is working for in a suburb of Cincinnati, OH. The owner of the branch, however told my cousin that he would rather him not do that right now. So *poof* no more job opportunity. It would have been a move, more pay, and an adventure, but as I said not anymore.
My boss, a native of Thailand had some uncharacteristically enlightening words to say when I rescinded my two weeks notice. He said, "M.[his wife] and I love you, and as long as you are here that be ok. It's like if you are in the desert and you have water but it is kind of like, salty or maybe has dirt in it, at least you have water. Someone may come along and say 'There is water 1 miles away and it is good and clean.' Yes there is other good water out there but you might just die on way to the 'better water'? Sometimes it be ok to just stay with dirty water, not forever but until you know you can make the journey"
:O
Sage sounding and good advice from an unlikely source.
In the meantime I'll enjoy the job I have that lets me set my own hours and take off for cool things like The Rescue event put on by Invisible Children
IC is a non-profit started by three twenty-somethings to help end the war in Uganda and stop the LRA.
On May 25th in over One Hundred cities around the world (yes the world. Even in Auckland...that means you Mr. DBT ;]) people will be abducting themselves just as Joseph Koney has abducted thousands of children to fight in his rebel army. We will be symbolicaly holding ourselves captive until rescued by a politician, mogul, or celebrity just as we hope the child soldiers will be rescued when their plight is brought to the forefront of daily discourse.
The fight for civil and human rights did not end in the 60's....it continues today for any man, woman or child soldier who is not free.
So I would ask you, humbly, to check them out. Some really cool people are getting involved. Kirsten Dunst, Fall out boy, Kristen Bell, Joel Madden and even a true "jackass" Steve-O is behind it! So come on!!
It's short notice and I don't know why I didn't blog about this sooner but I am now.
The plight of the Acholi people in Northern Uganda is something I am passionate about. See if there is anything you can do to help. :)
Until next time,
